I hardly remember what new HD-650s sound like. I habitually burn in everything for 100 hours. I have small rig built for that purpose (2x FM tuners + a DJ mixer). I find that Koss titanium drivers benefit hugely from burn-in. They're cold and distant out of the box, and quit euphonic and fun after a few days of being fed white noise. I burned in the DT-880s (which were B-stock) and noticed very little difference. Both before and after, they are amazingly comfortable, very graceful, entirely non-fatiguing, but not very involving cans. I have made no effort to burn in the TakeTs. I also haven't noticed much change as I've used them. More to the point, so many other parameters have changed (amp, interconnects, etc), eliciting major sonic changes (the Fugs are, after all, Ming the Merciless when it comes to revealing what's downstream) that I wouldn't know where to begin attributing what characteristics are the result of "burn-in."

Still my favorite lolcat.

Admit it, you fell on the ice and hit your head.

Just went out to get firewood for the stove. Nearly broke my fricken neck on the ice. I estimate we have about 2" of accumulation here in w.Mass. It's actually quite pretty when one isn't risking life and limb. I might snap a few pictures later, if I can be arsed to dig out my camera.

Another sodding USB cable for my phone. This makes #3. I broke the first one, and the second magically stopped working. If this new one fails, I'm going to use it to strangle a Nokia rep.

I dunno what OS you use, but I find AudioPod works great for submitting my iPod-listened tracks to last.fm. It's java based, so it should be cross platform. There's an AudioPod+ version as well. The only caveat is that you must submit all your 'Pod (or in your case, 'Pone) tracks before you start listening with your computer based player, or you'll trigger last.fm's spam protection, and it will reject the submissions.

WHOA. That's amazing. "You're one ugly..." "Motherfucker!"

I am going to cheerfully spend the rest of the day attempting to un-see that.

The sub would make a nice matching coffee table. Better not leave your cellphone on it, though.
