So far, for me, it's Ultraviolet -- most of y'all are going to hate it, but those who will admit to themselves that they enjoy watching a heroine kick some serious ass -- with guns, bullets and looks -- this is for you. Highly stylized looks (it appears that 29 out of every 30 frames have been airbrushed)...terrible CGI (I think Tron was better) -- but again, I think this was on purpose, since it's so consistent -- made to look like a comic book, perhaps?...total over-the-top violence (bullet-dodging)...Milla's naked butt...what's not to like? If you liked films like Equilibrium or Brotherhood of the Wolf, recommended.

Pretzels are like the second-worst food to eat while wearing headphones -- for that reason alone, we need an "other" option. I choose bananas. That said, of the two, the idea of the crisp sourdough coating and the saltine-y insides of a pretzel are much more appealing to me than deep-fried sugar. I'm not saying I wouldn't like the occasional churro -- but I could eat pretzels all day long.

Oh, okay. And: awesome!

No, that's Head-Fi. I wrote the meat popsicle comment, as well as the sourdough/deepfried comment.

I'm guessing it's because the user decided not to show up as browsing when browsing. That said, I'm wondering how guests post (see, for example, PinkFloyd).

Alright, I'm confused, I'm changing one of them, but something to which I thought I changed it got stuck under my moniker...so now it appears I got two, and I can only change one. So I guest the question is, how do it all work again?

So what was your favourite movie of 2005? A couple of mine: Batman Begins Constantine Howl's Moving Castle Mirrormask Sin City Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit ...can't think of any others, but I'm sure I'm forgetting some... I would have said: Appleseed, Steamboy, and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, but those are all 2004.

So, I hae a broken pair of DT990's. One of the channels is significantly lower than th'other. Like 18db lower. First of all, for my edification -- what would cause such a thing? I would have guessed a broken connection, but I can still hear the signal, albeit significantly weakened. A short? An almost broken connection? I rule out the latter, because it does not cut in and out. This is all just theory -- I'm not much of a solderer. Secondly, who would be a good person to send to fix it, and perhaps to upgrade it at the same time (new cables)?

I'd be up for that, but the closest I saw to a general forum was the off-topic, is that what you mean? And yes, that's fine, I'll post there from now on, when it comes to movies and anime 'n'stuff.

Can we have a movie forum?

I'm trying to think how many 2005 films I saw...17? There were 15 or 16 films better than Crash.

You're all full of shit.

Yeah, I really don't perceive the leatherhead and the PS1 in the same league at all -- the PS1 is in a class by itself, just like the DT770 used to be (until the PS1 came to be). No offense -- hope I didn't offend with my open criticisms, I can be rather blunt that way. It is not whether it is to like or not to like, it is not to know.

Try modding it. I, too, am underwhelmed with the X-CAN (in my case, V2)'s performance, but I once heard a modded X-CANv2 combined with a CD3000 that was just magical. (And it was Hirsch's for a while, so when he refers to that combination, we're referring to the same thing.) I think several people have come to the conclusion that caps are more important than tubes, even.

Thanks for the welcome (assuming that was directed at me).

This poll is defective from the get-go. I do have a preference, but it's not listed: DT770, which isn't as overblown as the PS-1, but it's stronger than anything Sennheiser or Grado can offer. I like to be bludgeoned, but not ravaged.

Noooo...!!! :argh: But I know how much you hate being wrong, so I thought I'd correct you. BTW, you shouldn't judge higher-end MF equipment based on your experience with the entry level equipment. Your assessment of the A5 is well enough at face value, but you really should have heard the A308 in my boss's system -- ranked right up there with the best I've heard, including Meridian G08.

Awesome! Just listened to it again, myself. Glad you dug!

What is this 'Lavry' of which you speak? Tell me mo'. Is this the same thing as in Canman's rig from the NJ meet? Combination DAC and preamp/attenuator? Is canman coming to the MD meet?

Actually, that's a Wheatfield HA-2, not HA-1. Just a minor quibble.

I like these two. We need a 'defenestration' icon, too, but that might be too much of a similar thing.

Yup, looks fine.

I kind of like the idea of having a "Something Else" subforum. No, seriously: perhaps an "everything else" subforum. "Misc Gear" sounds a little too close to the already-existing "Audio Accessories". When I posted my suggestion, I meant more along the lines of "Miscellaneous Topics" in the Gear forum -- just a minor wording quibble. So if not "Miscellaenous", then my second choice "vote" would go to "synergy" only. Actually, in the case of the K1000 example, I was more interested in the Audio Analogue Enigma, since the K1000 is already well-discussed. Definitely a synergy question. If anything else, it could go under source or amp.

Yeah, they constantly changed direction. Got a little bit more epic and synthpoppy -- think Apop B meets Covenant with Ahnold-austrian vocals. Check out Inferno or Daimonion. Welcome to Goodbye just came out last year, are you sure you're not thinking of their first/previous release, Truth is Fanatic (with the fantastic song "Merging Oceans")? If these are all too synthy for you, let me know. I can handle the truth.

Added for emphasis.
