Advice on which in-ear monitors to choose
I don't know about JHs, but I have trouble maintaining a seal with my custom musicians' earplugs. In the absence of being able to transform them to silicon, I've found that smearing a dab of petroleum jelly around on them prior to use helps a lot.

not quite sure where the new member seciton is..
I suggest KSC75 and spell-checking. Correct punctuation wouldn't go amiss either, but I suspect multi-tasking may be a bit much for you.

Watt size resistors should I use in an L-Pad circuit?
Beauty, thanks! That spells it out about as simply as possible.

Watt size resistors should I use in an L-Pad circuit?
Uh, I guess I'll just use some big ones and see how hot they get then.

Watt size resistors should I use in an L-Pad circuit?
So, I want to build an L-Pad based headphone adapter so I can connect headphones to the speaker outputs of an amp. This is mainly for S&Gs, but if it works great then I have the added bonus of having my innate and poverty-enhanced cheapness vindicated. I was planning to use this information from Meier to optimize the impedance for my headphones: http://www.meier-audio.homepage.t-online.de/ - click on "tips and tricks" and look under the impedance optimization title. One thing I can't figure out (yes, I'm challenged with these types of calculations) is how many watts the resistors should need to be able to disspate. Let's assume I have an amp that maxes out around 50W into 8 ohms. Anyone?

Sometimes the HD-650's bore me...
Bowls. Haven't heard it with flats.

^ That's what I always felt about the lower-end Grados. "Great for rock!" shout the SR225 fans, but I can't even hear the kick drum when the guitars get loud. The HF-2 was certainly better at keeping the bass in when I heard it though. If I were looking for a dynamic 'phone to complement my HD600s I'd put it on my shortlist.

The sequel to FUBAR, the greatest hoser mockumentary every made, is released on Oct. 2. For some reason I can't get the trailer to embed.

$400 and weed
I'm hoping to get my medical use card this fall. There may be an advantage to having late-onset epilepsy after all. Anyway, I recommend that you buy something you've never heard based on the recommendations of complete strangers.

I've never heard either, but I'd recommend the booze too. These threads are more fun when the OP gets belligerent. You might want to head over to head-fi for recommendations delivered in a more serious tone of voice.- First ever (I think) Winnipeg, MB headphone geek meet - Sunday, May 16, 2010, 14:00
I haven't noticed the existence of any Manitoba head-casers besides myself, but in case it's relevant to anyone here, there is a meet this Sunday (ie. in three days) in Winnipeg at 2 pm. There is a thread on head-fi you can check out for details here: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/429399/ic-winnipeg-meet/90#post_6638330 For directions to our gracious host's place, pm Armaegis on head-fi.- B&W enters the headphone market
Something about this statement makes me unhappy. Promo material aside though, I'd like to try them.- Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle Trip
The Naam serves tasty vegetarian food (if you're into that kind of thing) 24 hours a day. The Naam Restaurant - Vegetarian Full-service Restaurant (Vancouver, BC) Or, for an interesting and tasty Cantonese restaurant experience, Hons Wun-Tun House I've only visited a few times, so I'm not an expert by any stretch. Stanley Park is indeed a great place to go in the daytime, and I've had fun in the Commercial Drive area at night. The Art Gallery was also pretty cool, with a big permanent Emily Carr exhibit.- What are you smoking right now?
