I watched Detroit actually win a hockey game (they've not been great at all this season so far), and ate four mini-Snickers bars from the bag meant for Halloween kiddies that never came.

Nope. It's still working fine. I guess my wording was unintentionally misleading. I'd be sending it off for a check up and preventative maintenance. If I decide to sell my dynamic headphones, I could also get rid of the SP. Just ideas I'm tossing around in my mind right now as my speakers are sounding really nice this morning.

My first CDP was EE, which I quite liked. It had a decent headphone out and made for a nice compact bedroom rig. If I decide to get someone to repair my Extreme or just plain toss it, replacing it with an EE as a preamp to the F1 for my speakers is one of my plans.

I had no trick-or-treaters this year, and last year only two. They all go to the malls around here now, and the stores give out candy. I guess it's easy and some say safer than going house to house, but Halloween's no fun here anymore.

All my cats have been strays who decided I was the one. I've never once looked for a cat, never really wanted one, but the ones that adopted me have been great little critters, and real blessings (lots of love). I can't imagine my home without them. Congrats, Mr. Sloth, on being chosen. Get to a vet, get a couple toys, and the basics (food and litter box) and you've got a wonderful friend.

I find it faster to email iphone photos to myself, then drag them to my desktop and upload them in my gallery here.

I would love Mike's set up, but it's just not happening. My office and desk are much smaller. Plus, Mike's the boss where he works and gets to choose what he has. I'm a peon and must follow the rules of others.

Here's a crappy iphone pic of the only area I can set things up in (though I do have my HF2s with a nice stand and PRI set up separately so I can listen at work on my days off...yes, that makes sense). As you can see, I don't have much room, and the other section of my desk opens up to where I'm supposed to be paying attention to people talking to me, so no speakers there. I'm fairly resigned to living with these right now, but am open to any realistic suggestions, though am stuck with the space and low-profile requirements.

Congrats, CJ.

yup

Weird that there's a "small speaker" setting. I may try the foam thing. Since I know nada, does anyone want to give me a clue as to what would work well?

I'll bring the APL Phillips/BHSE/O2MK1 rig. That's it. Team Minimal!

Yay! Al's coming, too!

I think I'm going to learn to live with them for now. I'm not thrilled with them, but it's not like I'm supposed to be sitting around just listening to music anyway. As for changing my source, I can only use a portable source that I bring in, and although I have a portable cdp, the convenience of a 160g ipod is making me really happy right now. I like being able to drop it in my purse at the end of the day and go home. I like having music for every mood, and I love the shuffle feature. It's like a day filled with unexpected friends just showing up one after the other. The amp 3 doesn't interest me much right now due to low storage. The HiFiMan's sound really impressed me at CanJam, but same deal. Although I've never tried EQ on an ipod, whatever the regular setting is doesn't bother me with headphones, so I don't know why I would bother changing it because my speakers sound crappy. I guess figure there are far worse things than annoying speakers. It's certainly far better than having to suffer through annoying music. Maybe I'll investigate again in a few months if they still bug me as they do now.

Yup. Have stands.

Dang, Aimless, maybe you need an exorcism. Glad you're okay.

Bah. I'm not so happy with them now that I'm listening to them all day. There is a real lack of treble and some serious mid-bass bloom that's downright annoying. They're still workable until something better comes along, but the search continues. If you have any more ideas........

Frank, you have to make the meet. We only have one or two a year now.

Not only did I not grow up with a cell phone, I actually remember party lines.

Happy birthday, Beefy!
