  1. I am pretty sure it does - when they are saying any DAC working or not as part of their deal. I ordered a Fiio d3 specifically to trade in for this purpose. But after conversing with PS Audio they are hung up on having a serial number... I'm still waiting for the got dam d3 to come to even see if it has a serial number.
  2. What do you do for strain relief using the Koss cable and amphenol plug?
  3. Got off the phone with them. It looks like the numbers "in stock" on the website don't even make any real sense but rather an estimation of what they will get in stock. Person I spoke with said they are basically sold out and if you order you're really on backorder until they come in stock (don't think they have started shipping yet). ETA could be as early as a week or towards the end of November. If you are doing a trade-in then you are supposed to send in your DAC first before they ship. Alternatively you can pay full price then have the $300 credited later. I have yet to receive any details about sending in my trade-in item but asked her to send the info over if she could asap.
  4. I went for black. I don't have a preference on color atm but the Silver did not say "in stock" when I ordered. I'm going to try to call them to get more details. Maybe it's just me but I actually liked the look of the older DLIII better.
  5. Well a sucker am I. I ordered last night and even found a super cheap DAC to trade in. I figure even if I don't like it their return policy sounds very generous. Hope it actually ships soon; back when I ordered the mkII kit for the PWD it took two months longer than I expected.
  6. I don't like how much fluff these guys put in their item descriptions. Those pictures sure are misleading. Half the width of the PWD, same length, and shorter. The PWD is already a tank (especially when you consider the innards) so even at half the size it's going to be a little smaller tank. PS Audio seems to be implementing a bunch of changes in their distribution strategy as well cutting out a bunch of middle men. Looks like they are also offering trade in of any old working/non-working dac and get $300 off. Wonder if an old cd-player counts? Technically has a dac.
  7. Anyone know the material differences between the 650 cable and 600 cable? From what I am guessing, both are probably copper of the same gauge but the 650 cable has thicker insulation and a PITA protective coating that has to get burned off. Will probably hack one up to be a 4-pin cable in the near future.
  8. Watched this damn show starting maybe 2 weeks ago; already up to season 4. Seems s4 is a lot slower and awkward than seasons past. Sad that when I catch up will have to wait!
  9. When you press them against your ears they will create somewhat of a seal and sound much better. You're basically going to have to find a way to retain that exact same sound by way of adjusting the headband, I didn't have to bend mine though.
  10. Liquid HiFi is good peoples, I wonder if you can get more info out of him on the exact price.

    Cameos!

    I really get off on this, I'll be watching a show and it'll hit me right in the face that an actor/actress I will remember from another show ~ usually it's the more low-key actors that really get me going. Anyone else get like this or do I have serious problems? Examples: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 Episode 1: Apparently Julie Benz, the super smokin' hot actress that plays Rita from Dexter was originally in Buffy! She is totally not even memorable in the first episode. X-Files Season 5 Episode 9: Guest stars Jesse (Chad Lindberg) from the first Fast and Furious movie, he's ultra young and still ultra lame! "It's all right. I ain't losin'. This fool is running a Honda 2000. I'll win. Then me and my dad can roll together (in this super fast automatic mk3 Jetta with slow as balls 2 liter 8v) when he gets out of prison. It's all good."
  12. Totally saw it coming, lots of n00bs pwning on the other site. I feel like it was only yesterday that the LCD-2 popularity started dying down.
  13. So far have failed miserably at getting them, pre-ordered at Full Compass and I just got off the phone with them and said they "expect" them to be in Aug 31. This is after I waited a few weeks ><. I cancelled so back to the drawing board.

    Audeze LCD-2

    Damn, I just noticed he's from Arizona -- he better not be giving us a bad name out here!

    The Killing

    I've been watching this but am less than impressed so far. Twin Peaks >> The Killing from what I've seen. After watching episode 1 I knew they were going to try to rip off TP as much as possible. Hell they don't even have the smokin hot chicks that Twin Peaks did. And what the hell is with the lame ass super late time? Don't most people work Monday morning?
  16. I don’t know what’s wrong with these people, it’s like they are smoking crack whilst making deliveries or something. Last week I ordered a few Filco keyboards off of Amazon. I had one to be delivered to my office, one to be delivered to my home. Ontrac batted 0 for 2, it’s like a bad joke. Guess I just have the worst luck/bad effin week. Here’s what happened for shipment #1 to the office – Filco Tenkeyless Brown keyboard Slated to be delivered on Thursday. Well it never came. I called late in the day asking WTH was going on. Apparently the driver got a flat and couldn’t make it. OK flats happen. Friday rolls around. A neighboring business is bringing the package to me, looks like it was delivered TO THE WRONG ADDRESS. Had the neighbor not been kind enough to bring it over I definitely would have been screwed. Glad to have gotten the package. The address was clearly labeled as my office address by the way. No typo. Here’s what happened for shipment #2 – Filco Tenkeyless Blue keyboard Long story short I ordered this one Friday afternoon and decided what the hell Ontrac can’t possibly screw up again. The blue board was slated to be delivered today. Well it too never came. Status at around 8pm was still out for delivery. I check back a few minutes ago and notice it says it was delivered to F DOOR at 7:06pm. Well both I and my roommate have been home all freaking day, I’ve been watching the door like a hawk and they sure as hell never came by. I got on Amazon chat and the rep (outsourced) had some nice copy and paste chat with me and will hopefully be sending a refund. Of course Amazon’s sold out of Filcos now so there’s no way I can order another one. I’m off to go type on my newly acquired broken Model M now. tl;dr OnTrac is a piece of garbage. Don’t ship through OnTrac, PAY a premium for another form of shipping if/when possible.
  17. I'm probably the least technically inclined when interpreting this kind of stuff fluff: It almost sounds to me like the same claims all other vendors use, is this some major feat to have accomplished or something?

    Audeze LCD-2

    A balanced b22 with k1k and lcd2? Exxxtreme ultimate final combo!! I pre ordered today, heres to hoping it can be a keeper for once
  19. There's a filter (fillder if you're from back east) called the cabin filter that sometimes gets really gross or clogged with leaves. It's tied to your air vents. Try checking replacing it, it's usually pretty cheap. In my car it's under the "rain tray" under the hood between the windshield. Also are there any wet spots in your carpet?
  20. There's a new HC short that was released re-printing the old Superman vs Muhammad Ali story that's pretty awesome, All Star superman also recently received the Absolute Edition Treatment; beautiful oversized hard cover. Also recently released Wednesday Comics Hardcover (also huge) which has a bunch of shorts done by some of the Inustry's biggest names, kind of old-school look and feel. To get older stuff is going to be quite a bit more time consuming
  21. That's funny I think this sounds right: Brown mk1 Pads = real leather Black mk2 Pads = some leather some pleather I've heard arguments for both sounding better. I don't know which to go for still heh.
  22. Thanks jp! Probably not as pissed as I am about how much I spent on the amp a few months ago It's still available though and I am dropping the price as I get more desparate...
  23. Yeah I had a gander at the si2a3 for reference, truth be told I have a buyer interested in the amp but he wants the specs and to know if it's a good match with lcd-2 which of course I wouldn't know. He had contacted Craig but got a misdirected response lol.
