Well maybe if you weren't wrong all the time, I'd give it a go. I understood what you were saying the first time. I was saying I disagree with it.

The brain-ear system accommodates for the first part. That's the whole point in developing our hearing from infancy to adulthood. And the second part is just a contradiction. I mean think about what a soundwave is -- a localized variation in air pressure. If you recreate that localized air pressure variance just outside the ear as accurately as possible to reality, that should correspond to sounding as real as accurately as possible. I still disagree -- you have convinced me of nothing.

I disagree. The reference is real life. If you have a recording, and you know what it is supposed to sound like approximately one inch from the ears (where the drivers of most headphones are, and if that's where your mics are), reference headphones are ones that recreate that soundwave as accurately as possible. Ones that deliberately colour (ones that accentuate the presence or attenuate the sibilance regions, for example, or play up the midbass to trick bassheads into thinking there is moar base), are not reference headphones. Of course, this leads me to be very confused about the Sony MDR-V6/-7506, because I do consider them to be reference headphones in terms of bandwidth, once you mentally compensate for the colouration they introduce.

Favourite imgur comment: that is horrific!

Lollers @ "learn to run". Good on 'im.

All the best shows get cancelled early. It's like a requirement. Max Headroom only got two seasons. The words, "too smart" should probably never have to be uttered, and yet...there it is. Goddamn, Emily Browning (Laura from American Gods) is cute. I just love that elven, exotic look of her face. (And the fact that she just spent the entire most recent episode braless didn't hurt. Spinner!)

Hey. Head-Case happens. What the fuck are you linking back to us, anyway? If it were anyone else...

That just rolls off the tongue. AND INTO MAH BELLEH!

Food truck brisket from NeatMeat.

Astor Piazzolla, Tango: Zero Hour -- this might be his high water mark, of what I own by him.

Well feel free to come here and say nothing and not feel guilty about it. Glad you're more stable! I like how your kitties are doing in the other thread.

Moar Parks & Recreation -- this show is so awesome, and Rob Lowe is so awesome as Chris Traeger.

Interesting -- I was a fan of the Aquos from the same time period, didn't realize the more recent ones were crap. That's too bad.

Mostly listening, though, there's audience footage, but very little Aphex Twin footage (so far, what I've seen, which admittedly is only a couple minutes ago). EDIT: this is rave crap, abandoning...

That actually looks like two varieties, so Fish and Chips and Chips?

This. I'm sorry about your friend and the emotional pain you have to go through, but my takeaway from that myself is to value life while you have it, be it yours or the other persons. Cherish the visit.

Alternating between Parks & Rec, House of Cards, Doctor Who, and American Gods. It's kind of confusing, ackshully. Especially House of Cards/Parks & Rec, which I do daily, the others are weekly.

You had me at Russian MILF.

I had the sound on, but wasn't really paying attention, so heard it before I saw it...thought it was a Star Wars video. SSFWBNR (sorta safe for work but not really)

I'm confused. Feet up or bent over? Either way, someone is going to get fucked. ...or at least make me think about it.

I'll let you know in about 1:40:00 O HELLZ YISS. I should report this post for being too good.

Happy birthday! I hope you're doing well...

grilled salad?

(grabs car porn links for late nite viewing) I mean...damn, that Cayman S is teh sxey.
