  1. Barely related to this hobby, but if you want to destroy your ears quicker: SoundAMP hearing aid app for iPhone unleashed on our delicate ears
  2. Yeah, thanks. Good read. Side note: this phrase though caught my attention: Have we really moved that far already? I mean considering how many titles aren't available on Blu-ray (not to mention old titles that likely would benefit little)? Man, I've bought over 60 titles in DVD box sets recently (many new to DVD and far from, if ever, on Blu-ray). That phrase, from someone who obviously loves film, is a little scary.
  3. I did at CJ. Preferred bowls by a large margin. Midrange loses a little. Flats were too aggressive BTW, though it looks like atothex disagrees.
  4. Pretty great. Thanks.* * Typing on Chrome, my default PC browser.
  5. For those still in waiting, are the quality issue(s) just the Grado-ish norm or anything extra in play here? Well, at least you found out before the last 80 were gone.
  6. It looks like the same generic engravers font used, which would mean the 1 should only have a single-state and appear the same as the other 1 and not i/I/|, etc. Even with another engraver. But who knows? Would be interesting to have two similar shots and superimpose them to look for spacing, etc. changes. Well, slightly interesting. Actually, as is obvious in your photo, yours suffers from a blurry cable.
  7. I'd rather have a F1 with a nice, crisp cable.

  9. Speaking of... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G6XgzhtCJI]YouTube - Stunt Rock (1978) Theatrical Trailer[/ame]
  10. Perhaps a 3rd, then 4th, then 5th site for people banned from the others. Could be interesting to see who's left in the end, and what he/she talks about.

  12. x2. Oh well, no biggie.
  13. x7 on the CS. One of the 1100s I bought was dropped in shipment and the rack mount/ear of the faceplate bent (those that have seen one can guess how hard it must have hit). Parasound was able after a bit to dig up an old plate, replace and fully test the DAC for a reasonable charge (covered by UPS). NoNoNoNoNoNo, so you found a 1100?
  14. I found the Head-F1 error kinda charming, but could understand others being bothered. This I'd have a hard time dismissing.
  15. Skip to Act IV. The adventures of peeing.
  16. Err how many men does 75% constitute? In SF there are a ton of apartments/flats/homes with split bathrooms - a sink in one room and a toilet down the hall in another. That said, holding it ten more steps doesn't seem an endurance test even in that situation.

  21. Thanks... maybe, still pending... but, hey I like the NX series!
  22. To play devils advocate, and reversing it, I'd be curious of the HD800s ranking in the categories where the "top-5/10" phones are sub-"special"? Maybe it's the power (and ranking) of a do-right pleasantness versus a do-wrong irritation, and I'm not yet sure if the HD800s are actually all-arounders, but I do think some of those greats aren't. Course I guess that's why we have multiple phones.
  23. The other person there came to the opposite order conclusion. I agree when triangulating off the 650s, especially at the ends of the spectrum, the 701s and 800s have more in common. Surprisingly so. A/Bing them made me want a pair of 701s around. Supercharged K701s might not be a bad description at all.
