Thanks Sk1Bum. I have old ears too...fortunately they don't need any "enhancements" yet to enjoy music
Thanks for your old ear comparison of the M1.0t and the M500t. Been looking at the 500t and I like the old school meters. Would look great with my ancient reel-to-reel tape deck. Haven't used it in years, it just sits there for the coolness factor. I like the idea that it may be more musical too, that's their intended use...music! They also look to be about the same price point as the M1.0t which is good.
And yup, the shoes are off, sipping some hooch, and listening to "records"!
