Are these replacements? What format did you purchase? CD? Vinyl? They are both on CD. The Wall is the 2011 remaster, TDSOTM is the 2016 Sony Legacy Edition. And no, no replacements. To my shame, I never owned either. But I have The Pulse on DVD 😁. In fact, I plan to get the BluRay.

Thanks to my loving wife, I now have a pair of HiFiMAN HE-400S headphones. So far, quite natural sounding and very comfortable. My iPhone can drive them at quite loud sound levels. Pretty impressive for planar magnetics.

Sweet wife to purchase a nice set of cans for you.

I just closed a deal for my 3rd model of McIntosh Line arrays tonight when I agreed to buy a pair of McIntosh XRT-28 line arrays to replace the Mcintosh XR-290 line arrays I gave to my brother for Xmas ,last week I also purchased a McIntosh C-2500 Tube preamp and my 2nd McIntosh C-2200 tube preamp ,once I put the new system together I'll be doing a preamp shoot out with my much loved Emotiva RSP preamp against both McIntosh oreamps & a Dynaco PAT-6 ,if things work out I'll be closing a deal on a McIntosh MCD550 and a pair of McIntosh LS-350s from a pawn shop of all places ,when I get the system built I'll dive into that tap talk app & post pics ,if anybody's willing I can send pics via email & have you post them for me being I have such a hard time posting pics here .
Merry Christmas all ,this was the best Xmas of my adult life seeing the look on my big brothers face,when he got those XR-290s ,the C-2200 preamp and Emotiva XRP-2 it was the only time I've saw that man cry from happiness & that made my year .

You have one lucky brother! Also congratulations on the XRT-28'S The way I see it I'm the one who's lucky to have such a great brother ,we've always been inseparable so when he moved from Michigan to Texas it broke my heart ,I'm damn near positive the XRT-28s will be the last speaker system I ever buy and I'm glad to be rid of those 347 pound XR-290s ,just moving them to clean was a friggin nightmare ,it took 4 of us to get them in the U-Haul lol ,being my pair was the original prototype speaker they weighed 25 pounds more than the factory speced 347 pound per speaker weight ,I will have the XRT-28s home Friday evening & can't wait to try out my new C-2500 preamp on them ,the C-2500 is hands down the most beautiful preamp I've ever saw ,plus I love how McIntosh self biases it's tubes which saves me allot of time ,merry Christmas .

Sweet wife to purchase a nice set of cans for you. My iPhone 8 drives them to levels that are quite uncomfortable. I can't imagine driving them any harder. BTW I just saw my reflection with these on and I have to say, I look like a total dork! LOL

I picked up some PS Audio Steller M700s and wanted to compare them against my DR-1s.

I listen quite soft myself. But a better amp will do a noticeably nicer job.

Quality especially in a headphone amp is critical. It all is the first critical watt that count.

I’ll second that motion! Any discussion before I call the vote? 😋
