I'm pretty sure it is. I've seen the moon reflecting the sun's light like that many times in Alaska. That kind of looks like a Russian Orthodox church in Alaska.

Congrats JB, that's awesome!

Yippie!

No kidding! I tried giving away 7.11" once. Not only did I get the same kind of reactions, I also got arrested! Those High School girls have unrealistic expectations if you ask me.

So exactly when did Africa become a country?

Yep, Corey Hart walked away without injury.

AT uses good quality exotic woods. They do use toners on some of their cups, but I think the idea behind that was to embody the Japanese Red lacquer technique, so that's quite acceptable to me. The Macassar Ebony on the W5000 is beautiful, and should set a standard for headphones in that price range.

For $1000.00 entry fee I as a wood snob expect much better. Let's forget about SQ for a second and just talk about aesthetics alone. My biggest bitch with the D5000 is the stained and overtoned wood cups. They have so much toner that you can barely make out any wood grain whatsoever. When you open the cans up you can see that Denon used a rather blah species of wood to start with. As a wood snob I feel that if you need to stain a wood you're using a substandard wood to begin with. I have no issue with this when the wood is not meant as the main feature of a product or if the price reflects the quality of the wood. However for $1000.00 price tag I expect a top notch exotic wood with a clear finish. I know that aesthetics are not the most important aspect of a headphone, but at this pricepoint one should expect great SQ, great comfort, great durability and great aesthetics IMO.

Very, very sweet!

Happy Birthday Gents!

Happy Birthday!

I love buying socks! Socks and boxer shorts are one thing a guy just can't have too many of.

Fitz are you OK buddy? Send us a signal if you can.

Thanks Vicki.

Happy Birthday!

Not really, I've been thinking of trading in for about a year now. Hyundai has been at the top of my list, because of their warranty and excellent quality. I see you went with the Epos, nice choice IMO. I'm the fat guy on the right.

2008 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS. I didn't even know I was going to buy a new car yesterday, but my buddy went to buy one and I took him there. I liked the deal they gave him so much I bought the exact same vehicle, same color and everything. I'm most excited about the extended warranty package I got. Not only do I have 10 year 100,000 mile warranty, it's bumper to bumper for 10 yr/100K.

Happy Birthday Justin!

Woo Hoo! White and Grey, that's a little bold isn't it?

Happy Birthday Earl! I hope your new DAC is done soon!

β24 Monoblocks would be crazy overkill, so of coarse that's what you should build. Two of those bad boys would be incredible!

I'd turn the volume all the way down when hooking them up, and I wouldn't leave them hooked up for some passer by to destroy. Other than that you should be fine. I doubt you'll need much volume to drive them.

Not to mention it's been gathering dust for a while. He's built a swanky new baffle from plywood. It looks awesome! http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/orthodynamic-roundup-111193/index300.html#post4371223

He broke some new ground and made us think. I loved his comedy. RIP George.
