Yea, just read about the extent of his injuries as well.

Oh man, Mexico played so much better! A shame to see them go out this way. So close... so close!

I want Colombia to beat Brazil. That said, of the two goals Colombia scored vs Uruguay, I liked the 2nd one the best simply because of the sheer coordination that happened to make that goal. Astounding synchronization!

I'm hoping any latin country beats Brazil to the cup. I want upsets to happen everywhere this cup!

USA vs Ghana and Mexico vs Brazil have been top-notch nerve-wracking games indeed. Hope this intensity carries on with all matches! Heart-attack inducing stuff... wow...

Moot issue with Justin's unsampling DAC.

Well, I am from Nicaragua. But we're not in the World Cup because we suck.

I sold all my Grado cans except for the Joe Grados and one pink driver RS1. All other Grados I had are gone ( I had one of every model, and some woodied. I even had the Alessandro models). All that is gone.

Nonetheless it looks like the miniplug by default design holds to be true. Just checked out a thread on head-fi where someone posted pics of their PS500e and it confirms this (also smaller packaging): http://www.head-fi.org/t/722571/grado-e-series/45#post_10633871 I hope the driver change is for the positive! The size could have changed but what of the material? Too early to tell. Either way, I just got done with selling off my Grado museum a couple months back, and I'm not planning to restock again.

Hmmm, can it be that "e" versions are all by default mini-plug now to better suit the iPod mainstream crowd and then a push-on 1/4" adapter is thrown in for the audiophile crowd? The pic below is from the Grado website (specifically, the timeline). This would essentially phase out their mini-to-1/4" adapter, no? (see 2nd pic) And it is certainly cheaper to produce, thereby reducing costs when you compare the two! VS

I should've taken pics before it was all gone, but I made some tiramisu.

Shit. All this Joe Grado talk reminded me that I forgot to send an audition pair of HP2 to Zach! Dang it. Gotta get on that ASAP

Explanation: It's a pretty common mistranslation in Chinese. The word "Gan" (the first character on the sign) literally means dry, but it's also slang for fuck. So whoever made the English translation of that sign just picked the wrong translation.

Well, there goes my hopes and dreams. Highest I would do is $2500, and that's on a day I'm feeling great.

What is the going rate on PS1 anyway? Just curious.

Audio Aero Prima DAC plus cash!

no PS1. They elude me still.

Woman: Are you sure this is necessary? Man: Of course. For Science!

Missed this thread due to lots of work stuff going on... happy belated, Brent!

So we go from convex to flat to concave... what's next?

First glance I thought it was the Star Wars Mos Eisley cantina alien singer, then I realized it was actually Pikachu.

"It also comes with a nice dust-cover." So it is already expected that it will end up collecting it?
