    You just want to see where the lighter fluid comes from!
  2. For those that are looking for a sleep app, the Pzizz folks just came out with their iPhone apps ('rest' for naps with alarm at end, 'sleep' without). Currently, each $2.99 for next seven days, then goes up to $9.99. I'm a big fan of the Mac modules. Different than a lot of similar apps, as the tracks are created on the fly based on your settings. You don't keep hearing the same tune over and over. Anyway, thought some of you may be interested, especially those who travel. Review of their Mac versions here.
  3. Warning: It's a lot like COPS, without the cases. Add a movie star, who while no doubt has some skills, always seems to be, besides the camerman, the guy furthest from the criminal (though seems to be frustrated by not being in on "the action"). As an added bonus he explains the complex scenario for audience members who've become confused by the weird editing "this guy robbed that place. My training..." and intersperses the word "peace" around for good measure.

  5. Looks like they're airing it several times today, including right now on A&E.
  6. That's interesting morphsci. Makes me reconsider my power situation as the midrange is the biggest reason I side with the HD580/600. And I definitely agree there's a strong relationship between the K701 and HD800. More so than either with HD580 or K1000 (which I both have). The HD800 description of "K701 on steroids" is spot on in my book.
  7. It was a little weird to watch the K701s fall from grace quicker than most FOTMs. I like them. My biggest beef is simply I prefer the HD580/600s across more genres and equipment. As tkam said, the K701s signature can make it a bit distant. Find the Senns a better middle ground between the AKG and Grados.
  8. Yeah, should be interesting to see what happens. Longest NYTimes article on the App Store... http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/06/technology/06apps.html

    Both are showing $99 for me. As I haven't used the ER4Ss much since the Ety HF2s arrived, went with the VI anyway. Thanks jinp6301.
  12. May be the only place to get lossless versions of Garfield: Music Inspired by the Motion Picture.
  13. Anyone on the East Coast see this tonight and anyone on the West Coast counting down to 10pm? 'Steven Seagal: Lawman' full of possibilities

    Another Aluminum Hard Case Sale... Wireless Daily Deal, 1 Sale A Day
  17. Some of us went the opposite direction. Early on when they were my only decent cans their issues quickly got on my nerves (bought and sold twice). Now that they're not, I can accept them on their own terms (as necessary with a lot of cans) and may never sell my current pair.
  18. I haven't spent enough time with the P-200 to know, but for those that have seem to indicate it's sound isn't necessarily related to the P-1, so I wouldn't automatically associate. The Pico is a pretty good source, but as it doesn't err on the warm side, if you replace it you can choose where to add your warmth. As the CD3K is so easy to power I wonder if source might be your best bet. The CD3K hasn't been my main cans for awhile so I haven't pushed them. In fact their lack of requirements are where they've found use for me (Pico DAC/amp or even straight from the iPhone). Back when Sony was making them it seemed like everyone was powering them with Singlepowers. Probably some nice tube combos with the PPX, MPX3, Extreme, etc. Although I never had the WA6 and CD3K the same time, I could see the Woo with the right rectifier moving the midrange nicely forward and keeping the top from being too bright (why I sold my first two pairs). And I suspect HeadphoneAddict may be on to something with the Cavalli. Although I wouldn't call it warm, and it's obviously not a tube choice, I wonder about the FET-A too, as it would seem to have a complimentary signature. Voltron may be able to pipe in on that as he has/had both.
