Sure....

Like it.... I see quite a few stories about people buying-selling-buying again. I have done that with 580's (on my 3rd pair), 600's and 650's (twice each, still have a 600 now, thank-you-Nate). Indeed, tube amps help, as one of my favorite budget "fun" combo's is the Eddie Current Lunchbox and 580. Got that combo again now. Good balanced amps seem to also have made a difference in perception of the Senn's. I remember seeing stories of how that mystical veil disappeared with a good balanced amp. Tyll's description of the 650 acknowledges that veiled may be valid as a descriptor; I'm not so sure, but maybe it's just semantics....if an amp can "remove" it, not so sure I'd want to call it a veil....but minor quibble.... So good one, Tyll, a nice read about nice phones.

Happy Birthday Larry!

Sorry it's past midnight where you are, but hope you had a very happy birthday!

Looks like a great time, CJ!

Happy Birthday!

This bugs me, but more because I'm worried that someone not-so-scrupulous will put a tip in there after it's signed. So every time I get one, I put a line through the tip amount space, and total it; only then do I sign. The place from which we do take out most often uses the same CC machine for in-house or take-out, so I don't get too upset about it being there.....

I think she has some mountain lion in her..... Dan, I can't move from new England, how else would I complain about New England? I have to complain in the Winter of cold and snow, Spring of too much rain, Summer of heat and humidity, and Fall....well, most likely the choking Red Sox.

Yeah, this is bizarre, I'm working from home, and my neighbor is on his third round of snowblowing....this shit does not stop! MAKE IT GO AWAY...! AAAAAWWWWWWAAAAAAYYYYYYY.....!

We just got a fairly late cancel call, too. Sucks for your wife, Nate. Not sure if it's better or not, but I had heard of some places hit by Sandy cancelling school vacation weeks to make up for time lost, too....

Reminds me a bit of my father-in-law; he's passing around $1 tips indeed like it's the 50's. A regular handyman and myself moved a ~350 lb ungainly (and ugly) entertainment center when I visited them in FL. Lots of work, sweat, and about 1/2 hour of time. Father-in-law goes to give him a $1 bill, thankfully mother-in-law caught my look, interrupted him, and handed the handyman more. Same thing when we got free valet parking in Boca Raton, $1 bill given to me to give to the valet. No..... In any case, good luck with the car CJ, sorry you have to go through the hassle.

Happy Birthday, may your plants and flowers bloom brightly!

Oh, man bummer! One of the best! I had two older brothers, one of whom got me into Ten years After - he had them on constantly.

Man, you Santa Claus guys have the best stories!

Just noticed this....in before midnight! Happy Birthday, Wikiphonia-Man! Hope it is/was a great day!

You all are speaking for me too.....I've been relatively "broad" due to a whole bunch of rowing (some live, mostly machine) several years back. I was fitted some years ago for a tux, and took a 44 chest. But the person measuring said if my front was "in synch" with my back I'd be a size 50! My shoulders have been the only thing that has stayed looking OK for me. My stomach and ass have gone to pot. I'm ~5'7" and weigh in at ~220 lbs. My doctor says I could be very healthy at ~190 given my shape, and I should at least try for 200. I was down to 200 about 3+ years ago. I saw a decent difference in my face, too. I will look into some of these recommendations for a kick start, usually what i need before I settle on more of a lifestyle change. Good luck to all who are trying something!

Good comeback win by the Caps tonight, they could have given up after a horrible first. Hell of an OT goal.... Give them a lot of credit, and the Bruins just choked this away in the second and part of the third. Gave me scary flashbacks to the Dave Lewis-era Bruins, where NO 3 goal lead was ever safe!

Agreed, re: Kate Bush. I remember being at a party having a great time, but then 3 of us sequestering ourselves in a room just to watch a couple videos of her (Wuthering Heights, The Man With The Child In His Eyes). Definitely worth the break, we had the furries for her big time.

Happy Birthday!!

Dang, can someone take my 14 year old for a bit? Glad dads and moms getting a break, thanks to those who take care of the kids....we had our share of those breaks.

Glad to hear you and house are OK, Steve. Was there any peripheral heat damage?

Great stuff! I've seen some emails that go around with a baseball story like this. Never know if it is/they are true. But seeing this on video makes this real, and thoroughly awesome!

Happy Birthday!
