The Monkey

Apple staggered the launch on purpose, right? So the early adopters who had to have the first batch would fall in love with it, as would their SOs. Then the new 3G comes out so the original purchaser says, "here honey, you take the wifi one" and then buys the 3G. That's how it works, right?

I'm worried that these won't be delivered this week.

How is it for browsing, though? That would be kind of cool.

Sounds to me like you tried to create an international incident that will lead to the banning of IEMs on all flights. Well done.

Are you going to wear them on the plane?

Cut your losses. Sell them and move on.

Storm clouds approaching my pants!

Ordered. IS there another vendor aside from Apple selling this thing? Wait is 2-3 weeks.

A fine first post. Nice setup.

no buying for me today. well, bought some toys for the little monkey.

Ric, I very much look forward to your impressions of that combo. And Wayne, that's an excellent survey of the closed landscape. Thank you. Nate, advance thanks for the adapter. Yay Head Case!

Thanks, Tyll. I'm curious about what you liked better about the D5000 over the 7000. So far, I'm doing the following: - Borrowed a K340 from Jim. But now I can't find my XLR-1/4" adapter. - Ordered THUNDERPANTS! - Trying hard for a minty CD3000 - Borrowing the T1 from Al I think I'm going to forego the Shures for now. And Tyll, you're right, sealed headphones are just tough. Hopefully, I can add some somewhat helpful opinions after listening to a few of the options out there.

Thanks Jin!

Lunch with Colin and Jeff in NYC. Good.

Exactly.

Personally, I like all being in the same hotel. I like knowing where you folks are at all times.

To anyone on the fence about these things, I really have to say go for it. Especially if/when JHA runs one of their discounts. I know I've been a bit reserved in my praise for these things, but they are game-changing transcendent phones that belong up there with the best. All that and they still sound fun. They ain't cheap, but I'm pretty confident that among this group, they're worth it.

Sorry to bump this, but I'm very frustrated that HD Tracks has been so slow to develop it's hi rez rock selection

The CD3000 out of the Woo amps is pretty great.

we hope...

There's a pair of O2 mk2 for sale over at HF. I find it tempting. There is something wrong with me.

I think the JH13 to O2 comparison is fair. Now can someone tell me if AC2 is the only way to get O2 mk2 pads these days? I haven't heard back from Craig; Yama's is useless; and the ebay prices are as bad as AC2.

They're cheap and plentiful!

That's just because you guys don't have touch screens.

I thought Rogue did a nice comparison in this thread. As for the PWD, I was a touch screen skeptic and now like it, but I am not psyched for when it fails. The other thing about the PWD is that there are a lot of interesting things in the pipeline for it. That said, I am wondering if they may be getting a bit hung up on bells and whistles. I have not yet read anything bad about the Ayre.
