That's not entirely fair. I mean, suppose I were shopping for a car, and by some miraculous dip in snobbery, someone offered me a F1 GTR (or whatever it's called) to test drive. L yeah, I'd drive it as fast as I could, but without driving it on a test track, that "as fast as I could" would be a measly 65 miles per hour legally. I'd be underwhelmed with the amount of trunk space, and conclude that I did not like the car. You could come back and say, "Well, you certainly didn't determine what it was capable of", but I think my real-world test drive was perfectly indicative of the future driving habits I would have in that car. I would say that my conclusion in this hypothetical situation would be valid, neh? Back to the amp analogy, if that's what he's going to feed the thing, then that's what he should test it out on. And it's not like he didn't tell us.

But we'd have to have at least one discussion as to whether or not any of these make any difference whatsoever. Perhaps Wilson?

Actually, I think it'd be more in character for him to look around the room, find something, limp over to the person, and then whack them with it. As a tribute to your professor, you could stage the scene in a room with a skeleton in it, and he could take the bone and whack the person with it.

They shipped last Wednesday (right before the holiday), 5-10-ish days, so best case scenario, I get them this week.

That is our way.

I didn't find the DT880 light in the bass at all. Not heavy, neither, but certainly not bass-lite. And I have heard bass with the K501, but that's still probably the direction I will go. Or perhaps one of the "bad" W100's -- anyone have one of those they want to sell me? I've heard those (L, I used to own them), and they might be perfect. I'm not getting her another limited headphone.

Or maybe a Beta-22.

Wanker.

I'm going to have to use that line.

Sounds like Seuss: I put it there for you to read; I put it there, though there's no need; I put it there with a smile on my face; I put it there to put you in your place; I put it there -- that's my sig's role; That's why I put it there, you assfacehole.

As a seller, it is fiscally irresponsible to put the buyer at risk of being out both his money and his product. I don't know about you, but I want my buyer to receive his merchandise -- underdeclaring it is just asking for trouble.

That's quite slow -- you've got time.

Sorry, that was news to me -- I will now bow out of this thread until I can be of service again, since I'm not contributing anything useful.

PDF? Sounds like a laptop...

Leave it to aerius...

You realize that if you're volunteering, you can also implement it yourself.

We've had one or two baletions.

I am, I really am. And I would like to think that she is, too.

Yeah, from your original post, seems like the Ed 9's are your weak link, I would definitely try other headphones.

Yes, we have dual personalities like that.

She slept with me last night. Oh, and I just wanted to commend everyone for avoiding those "that's the closest you're going to get to pussy" and "finally found a female you can keep satisfied, huh?" jokes. Took my coworkers/friends IRL all of 5 seconds to come up with those.

If you have a problem with someone's post, report it to the moderator.

Pfff.

The K501's are a good suggestion when underamped, but they're no longer being made, right? What about the K601's? I didn't know the W5000 was bass-light, I may have to try a pair, now. Thanks for the suggestions, feel free to keep them coming. How about something in the lower end of the Audio-Technica closed line? Maybe I should get a pair of the A500's, after all, since I was talking about getting a pair in that other thread. Worst case, I may have to give her an EQ to get rid of the bass frequencies (they seem to trigger some kind of distortion in her ears). Don't get me started -- that was just before they got discontinued, so I was sure I could get another pair for US$3xx, which is what I paid for the ones I gave her, formerly known as mine. They're pretty much the only ones she could hear anything on. In hindsight, I had no idea how generous I was being. I'm not saying I wouldn't have done it anyway, but if I knew then how long I'd be without a pair, I would have at least slept on it a couple more nights.

Really?!?!? I have no idea what this means, when contrasted with the power specifications.
