Does anyone know (a) the part number for the Beyer pad that fits on the Sony headphone, and ( either the URL, or how to order it from Beyer? I can't seem to find it, now that they've revamped their site. I know it's the pad to the DT-250, but that's all I know.

Friend: Why do you have wires and an iPod dangling out of your mouth? Me: Well, she sneezed while I was...

I missed that. And I claim to be a Pink Floyd fan. I suck. LOL, you're actually looking at the album covers.

Hard to tell. Wall girl looks like the actress that played Jenny from Buffy, but that's about all I can tell. I imagine DSOTM girl is asian (so therefore automatically +1 in beauty), but am not sure. And I've always had a thing for redheads, so there's that... What I do know: [wayne]I want to touch the hineys.[/wayne]

For Jahn:

Now there's a buttcrack or two I'd like to spackle... I have that one in poster form.

No, it sounds like just one very massive kettle drum hit...recorded in a cave...I don't think you guys are hearing it. It's like the bass was off for the rest of the song, and suddenly the subwoofer turns on...except I was listening on headphones.

I was talking about the last sentence, I.E. " I still think a lot of "huge" and "night and day" changes people report is largely a factor of the ears and brain adjusting to a new sound." -- I just think it's funny that I accuse you of brainwashing yourself when you're accusing us of brainwashing ourselves. (Overstatement, but I think I've explained the joke now at this point, which I hate doing.) I continue to think you're wrong. I don't usually listen to my equipment as it burns in (except speakers, and even then, I try to keep it to a minimum). Let me rephrase that: I believe you're right about most people. I believe you're wrong about me by lumping me in with that weak-minded crowd.

You keep telling yourself that.

I brought pretzels! The first time I heard it, anyway. Those Newman's Own Bavarian pretzels? Of course I didn't call them a bribe at the time (one doesn't do that), I just said, "you have to try these". And yes, I do want to hear it again, once you fix it/it burns in/whatever.

What the hell is going on at 1:39 of this track? That's more than a kick drum. On a side note: I challenge anyone with good bass on their headphones to listen to that track and say that the bass at that point isn't "visceral" (NSFW -- "I don't give a fuck you fucking fuck" being amongst the lyrics). You should feel that bass down somewhere around your diaphragm.

Congrats! I had my fingers crossed for you the whole time. Been trying to send you positive vibes, but then my fingers cramped up, so I started swearing at you. Sorry about that. Anyway, glad you are finally employed!

Judges say: over-ruled. He explicitly refered to the EA-4 as new, so when he said 'new' again, I just presumed he meant the EA-4 again. How was I supposed to know that when he said 'new', he actually meant (pauses for Shatner-esque intake of breath) new? I mean, shit, that was just Aug 1... Phidolox -- so is it going to be truly balanced this time?

So there's a bestest evar that's better than the current bestest evar? Well, all I can say in my own defense is that the picture that was shown was of an EA-4. If he mentioned another amp, it wasn't in this thread. EA-9? That's what it should be (IMHO). As it should.

Yeah, it's the EA-4. It's at the bottom of this page.

And just to get this conversation back on track... I'd love to, and possibly will, when I am in the market for an amp for my currently non-existent 4070's and ESP-950's. Probably next summer, I think.

Yeah yeah, takes one to know one and all that. Touch yourself in the daytime. Difference is, I'm right. If you're going to be a fucking pedant like I am (that's "your majesty king fucking pedantness" to you), you should at least be correct about it. As has already been stated, I'm just pointing out that a certain correction was fallacious. What I'm trying to do is reinforce my argument by explaining subtle shadings in what are both correct phrasings -- my personal interpretations. I never said "your" wasn't correct, I was just concurring that you were incorrect for correcting incorrectly. It is the generic buck -- that which is being saved or spent.

They both sound correct to me, you fucking pedant. "Bang for your buck" sounds more informal and personal, as if the writer is talking to you specifically, the reader, whereas "bang for the buck" sounds like the writer is speaking to a larger audience. Which, on the internet, he is.

Alright, maybe second-to-last person.

Yeah, sorry if I snapped -- I just resented the implication. I am the last person to be accused of "more expensive == better".

I said I heard them, not compared price tags.

Possibly, but not likely. After having heard Justin's KGSS and Blue Hawaii, I'm kind of spoiled. I have a Stax amp that will work for now (need to work out some sort of adapter) until I can save up the dosh. But it's not exactly on the top of my list of things to get, so this is quite a ways off. I agree it shore does look purdy, though. Wonder how it sounds, you heard it? And whether or not it is truly balanced. I don't think so. (folds arms and puts on faux-frowny face)

It is my humble opinion that 580V isn't that different from 600V.
