Happy Birthday!!

MasNoNoNoNoNoNosetts USED to warn you in advance, but that was part of the cost savings. You have to do it yourself now. I know several people who have forgot..... EDIT: forgot the Head-Case auto-correct

Re: Kingsound: They certainly LOOK nicer. And they take 550V bias, so maybe Stax amp compatible?

Alien Eggs from a Cold-Weather Planet. The invasion has begun.....time to break out the giant robots.

Groovy!

Good luck, hope it's nothing major......

My wife would argue that the blood is going to her brain as she thinks a lot more than me. My hands and feet usually are plenty warm....you can apparently derive from there

Congrats to offspring of Greg and Mike! Good stuff all around despite apartment costs.....

Happy (Belated) Birthday!

Happy Birthday Dan! Hope it was great and not full of snow-clearing....

Just came home from work, roads are OK but it's like they are saving the most snowplowing for the second part of the storm. I think ~12" expected where I am in MA. Will work from home tomorrow, and likely watch my VPN knock me out multiple times from the likely heavy use.....

Good that you're home and the breaks are non-surgical. As others have said, take care and heal well.....

Many years back, I made a resolution to not make any more resolutions. If I want to do something I should do it no matter what day/year. But I still enjoy the New Year, and wish everyone a happy, healthy, & prosperous 2014!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Jax is awesome......relaxed happy cat.... Though something tells me he "owns" all the chairs in the house.....

He's got a smile on, so the drugs MUST be somewhat good..... Glad to see that smile, though, and heal well and fast!

Happy Birthday!

Comfort for me is slightly different. Part of the earpads rest on my ears, I can't get them over it 100% so it seems. I also have a short height from ears to the top of my head, and it's not a perfect fit that way either. But still comfy enough to wear for several hours of listening during the day. As for isolation, especially when playing: several folks have said it takes "more" to get my attention when they stop by my cube. However, there is concrete flooring outside my cube, and I still heard hard heels on it as people walk by. Certainly muted, but still audible even with music playing at reasonable volume. But I agree with much if not all Ryan says about sound, it's really quite good, especially some decent soundstage for a closed phone.

Echo all the above, hope all is/gets well soon.....

Happy Birthday!

Visited an Open house at a stereo store today (Fidelis for those in MA/NH who care; they moved from Derry NH to northern Nashua NH). Got to hear some nice gear, heard some lovely vinyl, met some very nice people, and a few industry folks: Vinnie from Red Wine, Yoshi Segoshi from Sakura Systems (imports the 47 Labs gear to US), a well-educated gent named Paul from Bricasti (they make an expensive but nice DAC, as well as a bunch of professional gear). A bit of live entertainment, guitar and flute from a couple of nice Jewish ladies. All in all a good time, and I actually didn't spend any money! They had the Audeze LCD-3 there, and I heard it from an Auralic Taurus amp as well as Vinnie's Isabellina amp/dac. Pretty nice, even very nice, but I still preferred my Stax and Senn 800's more. Off tonight to meet my mother-in-law a sister-in-law/family who are up visiting.

You cannot BE eloquent at -35C! Stay warm and safe Iain!
