9 pointsThanks everyone! 60 came in with a vengeance today. Unfortunately not in a fun way. As Al posted elsewhere, it turns out that I got Vertigo for my 60th Birthday! Today was the roughest of the last few days, but I'm very happy to have a diagnosis. I have meds and an appointment for lab work to follow up, so feeling good about that. All of that said, the best thing you can ever hope to get on your Birthday is the best friends a guy could ever hope for! Once again Al has completely taken care of me in a scary medical situation. I really did win the friendship lottery when I met all of you! I can't state enough how much of a blessing you all are to have in my life! My Mother is constantly amazed at what you folks have done for me, and how loving and caring you have been. She has met some of you in person, Marc, Shelly and Al, and has commented to me how lucky I am. She seems to think that something in me draws friends like you fine folks, but I know that I just got very lucky finding so many true friends in one place! So even with the latest circumstances, it really has been a fantastic Birthday!9 points

Typically I'd recommend something like an OTL tube amp for them.1 point1 point1 pointLooks like they stuck the landing! Thank goodness because there was some serious tension in that room.1 point1 pointIf I still were able to listen to headphones for a long time at decent volumes, I'd be so much in. If just only for the pleasure of comparing them to my early series HD800 that have the resonant trap mod installed and sound wonderful.1 pointSoccer Mommy - color theory Don't let her silly stage name fool you. She is a talented young woman. I like this one a lot.1 point1 pointDrop makes it pretty clear that you can cancel and get a refund at anytime before shipment. No real risk to end-users here. Here's their page for this: https://drop.com/buy/drop-sennheiser-hd-8xx-headphones The FR graphs are interesting - clearly more bass output and a much less of a roll-off in exchange for the dip at 1.5 khz being more pronounced.1 point1 pointI'm not sure he was so terrible that I will celebrate his death, but correspondingly he was definitely terrible enough that I won't celebrate his life.1 point1 point1 pointTo the guy that always seems to be saying happy birthday to someone else, happiest of birthdays, Mr. Tice.

1 point1 pointusing mousers parametric search I can't find any vishay resistors !% 50ppm 1/2w 350v working. koa mf1/2 series are same ppm, working voltage and wattage and similar size. https://www.mouser.co.uk/KOA-Speer/Passive-Components/Resistors/Film-Resistors/Metal-Film-Resistors-Through-Hole/MF-Series/_/N-7gz41Z1yzvvqx?P=1yzbppyZ1z0zlrrZ1z0ynpy I use them interchangeably with the Xicon. Xicon is far cheaper if you don't mind buying 100. koa is an option if you want to buy just a few. Per resistor koa is more expensive than the xicon. vishay MBB02070C are close to the xicon 1% 50ppm 350V working but 0.6W https://www.mouser.co.uk/Vishay/Passive-Components/Resistors/Through-Hole-Resistors/Metal-Film-Resistors/MBx-SMA-Professional-Series/_/N-7h7zb?P=1y97ob9Z1z0jjxqZ1yzrof0Z1z0x6pwZ1z0zls5Z1z0wljo (I have not tried these resistors)1 pointLooks like Brent now sings with the Scary Pockets1 pointIf it's younger males we're advocating for, can I recommend Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas' halloween costumes as a point in the Addams Family's favor?1 point
