Would anyone here be interested in splitting the costs for a 4-pack?

Played the demo with a buddy on expert and it was intense. I'm still debating whether or not to pick up the full version as I've been busy lately, but I might jump on it if they reduce the price for the holidays.

Thanks for the review...seen this amp around and was wondering how good it was.

Sounds like the monitor. I had a hand-me-down LCD that would sometimes have horizontal yellow lines across the screen.

Have you heard the older DT770? Would you consider the new versions bass monsters?

Got this from SD. Looks like Amazon has some decent deals going on for some models (probably more marked down as well): DT770: $126 Amazon.com: beyerdynamic DT 770 Stereo Headphones: Electronics DT440: $67 Amazon.com: beyerdynamic DT 440 Premium Headphones: Electronics ATH700: $129 Amazon.com: Audio Technica ATH-A700 Closed-Back Dynamic Headphones With Double Air Damping: Electronics DT660: $80 Amazon.com: beyerdynamic DT 660 Premium Headphones: Electronics DT860: $123 Amazon.com: beyerdynamic DT 860 Premium Headphones: Electronics HD201: $20 Amazon.com: Sennheiser HD201 Headphones: Electronics

I'm kind of disappointed that they only dropped the price of the old Macbook by 100 bucks. I would've thought that they would reach the 900 mark.

Thanks Asr, really enjoyed your impressions. Easy to understand and straight to the point.

I have a pair like in your picture and have not noticed any degradation in quality.

Some homemade chicken curry with potatoes, onions and carrots with rice. Yum yum!

aardvark, one of the Newegg reviews mention that the power cord could be longer...do you know how long the cord is by any chance?

Have you considered going SSD with a large (and quiet) secondary drive?

Yep, 5 sets of 5 reps. I used to do 5x5 flat bench as well, but decided to experiment a bit along with my kickboxing. I used to do a similar routine as yours, but found that it was too inhibiting for other activities and my numbers were hitting a plateau. I would do a "chest" day and the next day I'd go kickboxing and my punching would suffer. I've had pretty good success with this routine. What is the reasoning behind not mixing your pull and push workouts? I have never read that before. Any reading material?

Here's my workout: Day 1: Squats (5x5) Power Cleans (6, 4, 4, 2) Incline Bench (5x5) Pull-ups (3x12) Day 2: Deadlifts (5x5) Power Snatch (6, 4, 4, 2) Decline Bench (5x5) Flat Bench (7x2) Day 3: Power Snatch (6, 4, 4, 2) Good-Mornings (3x8) Bent-over Rows (3x8) Flat Bench or Dips (7x2/3x12) That's the general outline I follow, but I will sometimes move exercises around depending on how sore I am. I used to kickbox 3-4 times a week on top of lifting at the gym, but stopped for a while due to some injuries. I also throw in some ab work and cardio usually once a week. Are you able to access a gym? Having access to free weights would really help train your upper body strength. I would recommend deadlifts, olympic lifts, and benching (I know, no bench).

I was able to lose a few lbs and keep it off ever since I just cut fast food and sugared drinks out of my diet (about 4 years ago). I've been able to keep my weight pretty stable since then and work out regularly (powerlift 3 days a week, cardio here and there). I keep my diet fairly balanced a majority of the time, but also allow myself to "cheat" here and there. Once you make it a part of your lifestyle instead of a "diet" or "hitting the gym", it's like clockwork.

Have you checked for the contact between the heatsink and the GPU core? Might be worth a shot if you don't want to spend the money for a new card.

I vote for a barrel roll option.

I am so hyped up about Diablo 3. The gameplay looks to stay true to the series with a couple of new aspects (ie. destroying the surroundings). I'm tempted to go find my D2 discs now and give it a whirl again.

I will do just that. Thanks!

Just got my Lambda's today with SRD-7/sb. I have it hooked up to a spare Accurian amp and it sounds pretty nice. Great details and soundstage. This is my first pair of Stax and was wondering if there are any good tips or just general information to know. Thanks!

You're right, the Floats and Ergos are on a whole different level of fugly. However, I could never understand how they came up with the colors for the old DT231. It never fit amongst any of the line-ups.

I've heard the 231's before at a meet and thought they were pretty decent. I remember the sound being balanced with no glaring faults. I always thought they were fugly though.
