Happy birthday, have fun!

Thanks, I just set it up.

My expectations are low.

Ordered a little while ago, but Steve just showed me pictures of the final product:

Sorry if I appear like a complete noob, but I really appreciate your input about this. What you're saying is that I should scrap these resistors and solder the wires directly?

I don't understand what that means.

Thanks, I just did that and there's no noise now.

I received my KGSS DX yesterday and I noticed it is making a weird "charging" sound that is somehow amplified when I move my head fast from left to right. It does that as soon as it is plugged on the wall, without any source connected. I opened it up this morning and noticed that there is a capicitor with one end floating around in the air, not touching anything. Any opinions? P.S. Sorry for the crappy pics, I suck at photography.

Seconded.

Bonne f

Happy birthday, have a good one!

Thanks for the heads up, I'll try it.

To rip my CDs, I boot in Windows with Boot Camp and use EAC with some plugin that converts my tracks directly to ALAC. I don't know if the result is worth all this trouble, but I do it anyway. To listen to my music, I use iTunes, which feeds the bits to my Duet. I love this setup a lot except for the fact that my MacBook fan can get quite noisy when I do a lot of multitasking.

My mother plays violin in the Montreal Symphony Orchestra so I've been exposed to good sound in concerts since a very young age. I had always found headphones very underwhelming compared to live music until one of my friends who's into music recording made me listen to a pair of closed Sennheiser about 4 years ago. I bought a pair of PX100 not long after and I've been pretty happy until I found Head-fi two years ago. That's where the descent to hell began and Head-case only accelerated the drowning.

At the gym (once every two days), I do: - 10 minutes of warm-up on the treadmill - couple of different machines for bodybuilding (2 series of 12 with max charge) - 10 minutes of hardcore treadmill to keep my heartbeat high - 10 minutes of elliptical trainer - stretching exercises I also play one or two games of squash every week.

Good luck in finding a KGSS, Justin doesn't make them anymore and it took about 3 weeks before someone replied to my WTB ad on Head-fi.

Happy birthday!

I see Head-fi as the poor man's Head-case.

No matter when you get it, I suggest buying a refurb from Apple Store. I saved about 300$ that way and I couldn't have told the difference between my MacBook and a brand new one.

That's BS, I did an A/B comparison between standard pink noise and your FF burner at 4X speed and pink noise gave me more extended highs and a blacker background.

Screw the emos, this is what a real man looks like:

Happy birthday!

I'm pretty sure it's your old one. From what I understand, you sold it to tyrion, who sold it to [email protected], who sold it to ShaolinRasta, who sold it to me. Many owners, but all reputable people so I'm not too worried.
