If shortening the cable makes the HD800 as good as the HE-90. Maybe plugging the IC socket directly into the amp would make it sound twice as good as the HE-90? I'm just sayin *shrug*

Rush - Chronicles

NICE! That reminds me, I need to list my Cary 308T for sale. They make some very nice front ends indeed.

Joe Satriani - Strange Beautiful Music (SACD)

Shostakovich: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 9

No one better claim those K1K's sound thin with those drivers angled out so much. I like mine closer to the cage. Much better tonal balance

Heifetz: Double Concertos

Pretty much

I got my ass whoopin out of the way from the start. Kind of like jumping in cold water as apposed to the little at a time method. Better to be a full on , then conform - now go bash a headphone you haven't heard and get some

Yeah, thanks that was a great read and interesting.

I'm with you on this one, but Bear would disagree:

I love that show. Too bad he's done with it. He's a regular guy that never goes overboard. He gets impatient, gets scarred, screws up, and that's what I like about it. Very entertaining. Man vs Wild dude has some pretty crazy credentials, but I always get the feeling like he's trying to prove something or has this underlying insecurity that drives him to accomplish things rather than just wanting to play his role in the show. Plus he's a lunatic. Tell us that we can drink our piss. You don't actually have to do it... freak! Les is great! And the original.

X3 I think he made his contribution and lived a complete life. He will be missed.

^ You are a master with the camera! Great pics.

The reason he's able to judge within seconds of hearing is because all he does is ask "do I own these?" if yes, then they are the best thing ever. "If no", then I don't understand how anyone could like them, they are horrible. - you're ears are much more evolved Looked like an ideal meet (not too large). Wish I could have made it. Keep the impressions coming

Oh, so it is I learned that same thing in my speed reading class in high school 1,000 years ago, and I'd say it is worth while if you do it regularly which I did for a short time. Or you can just drive in commute traffic in a big city. That will have your eyes flipping all over the place.

Wilco - Sky Blue Sky

909 without actually playing the video, the dude looks like Paul McCartney.

I have better than 20/20 vision, but I found out that I have an astigmatism (very slight). The doctor gave me some glasses just for the computer (other than that no need), and my eyes don't fatigue nearly as much when I wear them. It might be worth checking out. BTW, there's no glare prevention with my glasses.

Happy Birthday guys! Have a great one.

LOL too funny. The signature high frequency spike directly injected into the ear. Pretty scary stuff.

Anyone else think Grado is beefing up to get bought out? All this "i" stuff and now IEMs I know it's a stretch but wondered if this has crossed anyone's mind.

You should definitely hear a stat. That's like a rite of passage as an audiophile.
