A headphone just for your taste: Kennerton odin. Only 666 grams. Fill it with sorbothane. You are good to go. You don't like it, no worries for I have 2 more solutions: I have a friend who solved resonance issues just like cutting the butter with a hot blade. He doesn't listen headphones any more. Another friend of mine followed different path: Earcups made of granite and headbands made of damascus steel. And earpads made of merinos wool. You should try that. I found an entry when I googled "granite earcups" I want to finish in one post so here is a solution Ed posted: Just check the last two sentences, hilarious. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: Originally Posted by richard51 It is not possible to repeat too often this Fact : with sorbothane it is necessary to estimate the right amount of compression applied on the sorb. hence to choose rightly the duro and surface of the sob and his height (experimenting is necessary ) ... i had receive the 70 duro pieces i want to put between the plates under the amplifier (30 pounds) in replacement of the 50 duro pieces... More clarity and better effect... I am sure that these things do make a difference. On a similar vein, n my very first sorbing experiments I used clamps to hold sorb onto the metal headband of a Stax SR007A. This was just two pieces of stiff plastic attached by a nut and screw. I found that you could get some variation in tonal characteristics by adjusting the tightness. Generally looser gave more bass, tighter less bass and more treble. I must return to this some day. If you are prepared to do some physical modification of earcups. you could have some kind of tightening arrangement with sorb located inside earcups and then somewhat adjustable. You can see these and two small metal clamps in the picture. I finally settled on just the plastic clamps moved down to the top of the earcups. The other thing to consider with equipment is mounting sorb inside equipment, such as on circuit boards. Obviously you are not going to do this where boards get hot. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want earpads made from "Real Feel Super Skin®"

Smart girl knows what to watch 4th cat taken into nursery at home. And from nursery, they are all fine now, Tuxedo passed the critical phase just fine. She is still tired but no diarrhea or vomiting any more.

I guess I found something exactly same with what is he doing (yea I like Family Guy):

^ shit, I rofled

Sorry Dr. Gilmore, I should add, "as seller claims" I pressume they are crap. Just want to share cuz Birgir asked for things like these before on this topic.

I was reading this topic for getting thoughts on my recent purchase of modified egmont clone from Birgir, and spotted some diggings done into taobao electrostatic amps. I found these on yahoo aleado: This is something like malvalve I guess? http://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=k181199121 And this is T2 clone as seller claims: http://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=m95216502 And there are some used Stax earspeakers and amps, here is the whole listings: http://yahoo.aleado.com/2084219581-category-leaf.html?j=0&page=1 If you still have time.

Hear it then:

Nedim Şener - Hrant Dink Assassination and Intelligence Lies. While Hrant Dink's killer was on trial for 20 years. Nedim Şener was on trial for 32,5 years because of this book. Book is a candlelight on Hrant Dink's assassination and how government and his police, ingelligence service got involved in. I'm sharing some books in Turkish but I really don't know how to reach them in English, or even published in English. But here are some readings which can be helpful: http://www.gagrule.net/tag/nedim-sener/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Hrant_Dink

We visited vet twice today. One of the cats got food poisoning. Got 5 shots and some serous fluid, she was/still is dehydrated cuz of excessive vomiting and diarrhea. Still critical. Other has serious attacks of cough. got 2 shots. We took 3 cats in the house. My father and I watching them in rotation. But in return of stressful day, we did find a really good and idealist vet. Get well soon sir. I have a trick can be useful. Get some cotton pieces enough to close ear canal. Wet them (preferable with alcohol for debacterization), shape them tight and left for dry as many as you might need. Then use vaseline on the half of it for closing enterence of the canal, enough to make pluging watertight. Dry side goes in, Vaseline residuals may effect the infected area badly.

Wow, this blog has amazing essays, if i can call them. Thank you sir.

Lol yea, actually cutypie loves playing with cigarettes in my mount. But I never smoke near them. Cuz they tend to chase smoke But some of them love smell of coffee.

Reanimating the old thread again: These are my kittens: Fluffy(pofuduk), Cotton(pamuk), Cutypie(şirin) and Bigboi(koca oğlan) Tuxedo is bitch(zilli) and far left tabby is beady (boncuk) Cotton was missing for nearly one week, and showed up yesterday with wounds inside his mouth and nose, went to vet today. He said he got into fight. He is taken care of now in the house.

Sand has some positive effects on jitter, transparency and bass resolution, in case you don't know. Try it. Really. I'm not kidding. But beware; sand must come from ocean beach.

Dear astrostar59; As I and some other Sirs said before computeraudiophile and head-fi are like pools filled with snakeoil. And you can be under honeymoon and placebo effect. I was a Pro gamer not so long ago, efff latency, do you know how much latency we (mankind) have? and efff fastness. If you want to test us out. Then send the gear to any of us. And last note, when you say you can see the difference between "amazing" and "moaaar amazin" it kinda loses the plausibility. You sound like you're selling that product you hype. Best wishes, Özgür.

Well, as Aziz Nesin said "%60 of Turkey's population are idiots" He is right. Most of the population see Tayyip as Padishah. They do as he commands. There is no democracy in Turkey (Well I don't believe there can be democracy in any country anyway). Most of the terrorist attacks caused by government to legitimize martial law. AKP supported f.cking Al-nusra for years against Esad. A year ago El-nusra joined Isis. For they have similar (actually same: Isis believes in Wahhabism which is based on Salafism, Al-nusra accepts Salafi movement as their way). And this is the hecking point: Isis and Al-nusra based on their belief system, they do not see any sunni or other muslims as "muslims". So for their perspective, Turkish people are all kafirs. Protests were all peaceful till government's police (yea, they are) tried to cease them. And 2 bombings during protests in Ankara and Diyarbakır (made by Al-nusra cuz as I've seen on paper, minister of internal affairs asks MIT to fully support them) actually supported by government. (if you dig in wikileaks you can see papers that support this idea) Other bombings that made by ISIS are caused by government too. Cuz at first our government selling and giving away guns (pretty big ones, and they arrested 2 journalist (one of them well known "Can Dündar")) cuz they revealed it. And now, they (government and all of their organs) arrested nearly all Cumhuriyet Newspaper's journalists and writers cuz, as government says "supporting PKK and PDY" without being members of any of these terrorist movements". FFS, Cumhuriyet has ben always opposed them, and actually they are arrested once before for going against PDY, but then our government was going good with PDY. (PDY is an organization which Fetullah Gülen leads) And ofc they arrested nearly all HDP's (one of the opposing parties) deputies, leaders for supporting PKK. Not finished, now they are going against CHP (the oldest party, The party which Ataturk established) for supporting HDP and Cumhuriyet newspaper. I'm not even talking about "the palace" Tayyip builded for himself, The unemployment fund, GSS, SGK... FFS they fucked up the people of Turkey. They are trully all internal imperialists. The unemployment fund raising by the mandatory cuts from all working people, and only %10 of the unemployment people gets the payments. 90 billion Turkish liras are either missing or not been using. And not a soul tries to do something. Opposing parties are yelling but none of the Tayyip's subjects is hearing anything. Turkey is nearly finished, we're going back to Ottomans. And with Trump, I'm pretty sure middle east is fucked up as female rabbit. BTW, I hate Ottoman empire, they were nothing but imperialists (failed ones tbh) and bunch of losers who believes themselves are chosen. And about Turkish people: Most of them are as peaceful as gorillas. They try to lynch you if you support any idea against them. I've been beaten nearly every day for being an Atheist and Far Left wing supporter during high school. I've been stabbed once. Gray wolves raided my house and burnt my books. I was only 15 ffs. Most of them are blinded by fanaticism of nationalism and religion. Even mild Left wing supporters. And they have fear of "others" as paranoid as it can be. It has always been like this. Just check "how many journalists and writers got killed in Turkey" Turkey is great place for visiting, not for staying. And actually I may get arrested for this post, but I do not care for I've been arrested before. Sorry for long post but I'm extremely angry about the shits going on in Middle East, Turkey and USA.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-37927781 Cuba being paranoid? Middle East is going to be much much worse. if possible. Nothing is impossible with Erdoğan + Trump I'm talking like as if I'm living in USA but, as many of you know USA foreign affairs policies directly effect us. Sorry for being negativistic, but it's actually being "realistic". I think he'll be worse than Bush shitholes.

I feel sorry for you guys. Trump did it. Yea they are all wrong choices, and both in Turkey and USA, elections are like choosing the least bad one in a pool filled with shitholes but still... TRUMP ffs. Anyway I picked up my recabled and socketed R-50 from shipment office today. And found out the itching area under my belly button caused by stress cuz of incoming military service health control. Normally they should not take me under arms for I have bipolar type 1. But hey! It's Turkey.

Well, Trump and Tayyip Erdoğan can do really good things for World together... They can fulfill Bill Burr's idea of wacking half of the world's population.

Those glasses, I like them.

I've tested/listened some Hifiman He line up: 400s, 560, 6 and 1000 V1. 400s has serious ergonomic and seal issues: too much pressure on the upper side, and gap between lower ear; neck and shell. And headband was a joke, hurting after 1-2 song. 400s sounded thin, most probably because of gap. (but maybe my head isn't ergonomic for it?!) 560 was okey about ergonomics (most probably because it is lighter than others) and seal, has a bit too much presurre on the upper side but not as bad as 400s ... But focus earpads? Literally cooked my head. 6 was too heavy. And same pressure problem. I guess there is nothing to say more. (could not keep it on my head for 2nd song) Only 1000 v1 was perfect. No ergonomic issue, no sealing issue, and no earpad issues. I don't care about "build quality" that much. But quality wasn't bad. What is laughable about it's build quality, I don't understand. But I highly doubt if Mr. Hifiman cares about build quality. But from massdrop drops, Re-00 was not bad, imho. But as they tried to "warm" Re-0, Re-00 became a bit muddy. So not as good as Re-0 And about HD6xx, if it sounds similar to HD650, I prefer HD600. And yes massdrop version is cheaper than 650 but adding "x"es instead of other numbers and putting "massdrop" sticker on them does not change the dark, veiled and even bit muddy sound signature.

Actually, I'm literally herding them. Not that i want to do herd them but they follow me anywhere I go. And interestingly some of them listen my basic commands. I guess they see me as their leader. I sit with them while they eat, I drink coffee/tea and smoke. After that I play with them. And I can cease their fights and keep dogs and savage male cats out. I guess they respect and love me as much as I do. It started 2 years ago, "Umut" jumped off from balcony and got lost. After that we started to give the remaning cat food. After the package finished, we started to bought 15 kilos per month. Now we give 60 kilos per month. And we spend total 3-4 hours per day with them (me and my father) BTW the knees belong to my father. And really I don't do that for being good or anything like that. The hour(s) I spend with cats are like therapy for me. What I do is most selfish act that a human can do, imho. I've 3 major hobbies I spend time regularly: music, reading and them.

They are like 1/3 of the herd, my good sir.
