aerius

I'm pretty marginal in terms of fit as well, the headphones sit a bit too loose on my head and I have to be pretty careful in moving my head around or else the damn things fall off. Bending in the metal rail thingys and installing a shorter headband helped, but it's still not the greatest fit.

That explains that little issue...

I think it ate all the non-mod/admin custom titles.

I ended up making a new headband out of some fabric scraps and polyester matting I had lying around. In my case the stock headband was deformed a bit and sat on my head at a weird angle which just felt wrong, so I broke out the sewing machine and made a new one. Some people have been swapping the headband with ones off K501's and other more recent AKG headphones and reported good results, that might be something to look into along with rebending things a bit.

Today was a glorious day of doing nothing. I woke up and ate, then slept some more, then repeated the cycle again.

Vote Cthulhu for president! I mean, how can you argue with a policy like this? Q)How will Cthulhu deal with a strongly bipartisan Congress? How does Cthulhu plan to deal with the budget deficit? Has Cthulhu yet chosen a running mate? If so, who is it, and from whence did it come? Given that the candidate is now dead and dreaming in the Pacific, what measures will be taken to speed its awakening should it be elected president? A) Cthulhu will have no problem dealing with Congress, as they will be the first to be eaten. The budget deficit will shrink drastically once Cthulhu cuts unnecessary spendings like Defense, Welfare and Social Security. Mass support of Cthulhu will raise the its awareness of the need to take control of our suffering country, and should lead to its return. The Great Cthulhu will awaken in time to take its presidential oath.

Ain't going nowhere, it's a token gesture at best. It'll die on the floor anyway and everyone knows it.

Prima DAC, go for it. Prima CD player, not really, I'd advise saving up a bit more money and stepping up to a used Capitole on audiogon.

I think it'll be more like zombie Beethoven by now...

Yes. No.

Did a bunch of daytrading, laughed at all the idiots who shorted oil and claimed that it was on its way down below $100 a barrel (not only did they lose their money, the price hit the stop limits so they couldn't even cover their shorts), went to the library to pick up more CDs, washed my car, had a barbecue. Checked the real estate listings for my area to see if prices are going down yet.

Neil Young still tours, I missed his concert at Massey Hall this past year but I've been to one of his past concerts. Definitely go if you ever have the chance. My list: Jesse Cook Emmylou Harris Robert Plant & Alison Krauss (will be off the list as of July 14 )

Associated Press Link This is why you shouldn't do "pressed hams" when mooning.

Probably because he didn't see the other half of your posts...

To broadly generalize, when you crank a single driver speaker the sound craps out and all kinds of nasty colourations become blatantly obvious and annoying. Up to a certain volume level, the colourations are relatively benign and even charming, but push past that point and it quickly gets shouty, hard, farty, and annoying, not to mention suffering massive dynamic compression. Single drivers can't play Motorhead at Motorhead volumes.

Wow, so your library request system works for the entire state of Hawaii? That's gotta be pretty sweet, I can only get holds for materials held by the city of Toronto system, then again, I think we have something like 90-100 libraries in Toronto so it's a pretty extensive catalogue. It's a great system, it's really helped me explore and listen to music that I otherwise wouldn't know of.

Woke up at 5am, went to work, did some grocery shopping, currently in the library to pick up a bunch of books and CDs I have on hold. Eyeing the MILF sitting at the computer across from me.

If it has Jenalabs cables or anything which looks ike JL cables, run away. Try to get the history of K340 you're buying, and find out who did what mods on it if it has been modded. Then search their posting history on head-fi, and if you find something like "need help with soldering" or "how do I solder cables to my K340's?", well, that's not a good sign. Also, check for pictures of the modder's other DIY work, if any. They'll give an indication of how good the guy is and whether he knows what he's doing. Along those lines, find out who's owned the particular pair of headphones and what their impressions have been. Other notes. I'd much prefer to have the original plastic screens intact, you can always cut out the plastic later and go with some kind of fabric or foam covering, but once if it's already cut out you can't go back. As already mentioned, the K340 wants amp power, and lots of it. Treat it as a K1000 and you won't be too far off.

It wasn't an earthquake, he just turned up the volume on his new amp to "11".

So far I'm using Composer - Song name - Performer (eg. Liszt - R

So that's who JimP is in real life...

She lives in The Netherlands, so more likely than not, lighting up a smoke would mean she got stoned. Uneventful day today, went to work, did some grocery shopping, made & ate dinner, went biking, and now I'm wasting time on the computer while listening to my vinyl rig.
