Update: It sucked. I sold it.

I see a lot of professional football players using those Beets by Dr. Dre. I think football players listen to a lot of music. They must know what sounds good. They probably got a group deal though, but I'd go with those. As a matter of fact, I think there are a few professional football players on this forum. Maybe they can chime in with some listening impressions and they might even give you a coupon code.

Damn, that guy got off 10 posts without getting hammered. My newbie bitch session lasted only one post before the hammer fell...

They're all shot RAW with a bit of tweaking in Nikon's View NX (mostly white balance and exposure comp), then converted to JPEG. Yeah, the 35mm 1.8 feels like a big step up from the kit 18-55. I haven't used the 18-55 since I bought the 35.

D3000, not 5000....

Hey everyone, I've been out of the photography scene since the early 90s. I recently picked up a Nikon D5000 and grabbed a 35mm 1.8 DX lens. I wanted to get some honest feedback/opinions (is there any other type of feedback here?) regarding my photos. These are what I consider to be the best shots from about 600 exposures over the last month. I've been lurking on this thread for a few weeks and, thanks to everyone, I've learned a lot. Thanks...

It brightens up the hd600s...if you're into that sort of thing. Maybe it's the dac... I should just save my money and get something that's going to be a noticeable improvement over my Decco.

It's okay...not even as good as my go-vibe. I expected more - even from this small desktop amp. The volume pot feels pretty cheap and has a light feel. I had the volume at about 2:00 to get as much gain as my Peachtree Decco provides at 8:00 (HD600s). One thing I do like is that it seems to be good for low-volume listening. This is just my initial opinion after about 15 minutes of use.

uh...thanks.

Funny...I never knew what the "gd" stood for - "Global Delivery" Lost in translation...

I'll rip it open and take some pics when it gets here.

I hope so...I got the cheapie "b" version w/o usb. I figured that I'd throw an old transport downstairs in the living room and use it when my wife goes to bed early.

I picked up one of these on HF for $100. I figured I'd use it in the living room or something. I wonder if I should have just bought $100 worth of beer instead. How bad can it be for $100?

Shipping update: Schiit shipping

Okay. Thanks.

He screeches like the white owl on the "Fly by Night" album cover... But I did see them live in 1977. That was enough.

"voice"

I was being semi-sarcastic or something...

If I don't like it, I can return it in 15 days or sell it later. It's bound to be the FOTM at HF in the near future. I probably won't lose much, if any, $$$.

HD600s and that schiity amp will be fine for me. I maintain low expectations. My hearing sort of sucks too. Plus, I'm a homebrewer, serious cyclist, and avid drinker. That's where most of my money's spent.

I preordered my Schiit....Valhalla.

Thanks for the advice. I still haven't decided.

x-can v3...haven't heard back from the guy yet. $275 on audiogon with a couple 6n23p russian tubes from upscale audio. I just hate to wait for a Schiit...

That's an interesting alternative. I never gave DIY much consideration. It sounds like it wouldn't be a difficult first-time project.
