Seriously? There is a team named that? I love it. Do the bearcat! Owwwwww!

I've been trying to get a pair for a while, they are really rare.

Thanks for the birthday wishes guys and gals. Emily got me the best headphone shirt ever, I'll have to take a picture soon. Lots of books and the soundtrack for Labrynth as well. Pretty good haul. We are going to the family [hers] for a birthday dinner tonight, should be fun.

Don't beat yourself up about it. Just toss them as soon as you can and get back on. I fell off last week for a bit, but I'm back on for my bday weekend.

Huh? If the preamp and headphone amp are seperate circuits, ok, but any amp is going to behave differently when you plug multiple things into it. For multiple headphones, it really depends on what headphones you are talking about. If you plug in two K340s, the impedance gets halved and in some cases they might even be easier to drive this way in terms of voltage. If you plug in two Grados, you are talking 16ohms... pretty low for some amps. Two headphones of different impedance are going to make volume level matching pretty tough. Now, he is driving a pair of speaker amps and a hard to drive headphone at the same time... I think it goes without saying that this will put a lot of strain on the amp. It is not surprising that the headphones sound off in this situation.

That's what it's looking like.

Oh, I'm with you there.

hehe, that was great

LOL, whatever you say Jacob. I've never made any K701-esqe comments about K340 burnin. I think that all headphones need a reasonable amount, but nothing like what RS-Audio and K701 people talk about. Fitz obviously doesn't dig the K340, either that or his absurd amp isn't driving them properly. One of the two.

It's ok, not everyone has taste.

BEEFY

That's TRS and pigtail.

I'm tempted, but I think I want to wait for Mario Kart Wii.

The 'daily' warm up could very well be this, but the longer warmup after they haven't been used for an extended period of time is clearly something else.

When I first looked at it I though, damn a 6 tube single ended amp... sweet! But then I saw the magic eye tubes, wtf? What is the point?

I wasn't really meaning 'cover your ass' in a legal sense [though I think Sennheiser would try to respond if someone made a HE90 clone] but in how their headphone is perceived.

Anyone know if there are any good racing games for the Wii yet?

Holy shit, I just spit tea.

I guess it is just different usage. I plan on taking advantage of all the free resources and loading the thing up. I don't expect I will spend much time daily updating it.

I don't know the science, but I agree with Renato. I've noticed that if you leave them for a while they need a good couple of hours to get back into shape. I find that, in general, a half hour or so brings them up to peak performance once they are in regular use.

I'm sure he has put a lot of work into this, but not admitting to it being reverse engineered could just be a way of covering his ass. Now, I don't know this guy, and I'm not trying to say he is untrustworthy, but it is possible.

Happy Birthday Buddy!

This is a retarded poll, but I voted for 12+. I only say it is retarded because every amp will have different gain at different settings with different headphones, and not all sources output the same voltage to begin with. Knowing what you turn the knob to tells you absolutely nothing.

Really!? You think you're going to be out somewhere with no access to a computer and just really NEED to buy a new book from amazon? I just don't see it. The subscription feature is cool, but it's not like you can't subscribe to e-Mags normally. All you'd need to do is setup a daily download or try and setup a simple synch to the device.

Oh, I see. I'm not completely sure, but I think that by hooking up the headphones while playing music through the power amp/speakers would really mess with some things since they are both using the same circuit. Kind of like when you plug two headphones into the same amp and the impedance gets chopped in half. If you'd like to see pics of the internals, send me a PM. Kevin Gilmore posted them up on here at some point, but I'm not sure what thread they are in. It should make you feel better about the shape of yours, as I'm betting mine was worse.
