Yello by Yello, The Anthology -- I love these guys so much. Best. Rhythm section. Evar.

Incorrect.

And my point is -- you're wrong. I think more thought needs to be put into it than this. I'm going to buck the head-case groupthink on this 'til my dying breath. I'm not saying I'm not going to fall for it once in a while, but I'm going to point it out and mentally fight it every time I can. Specifically with Beyers -- my memory of the DT880 does not fall under that description. So if they can make one that falls outside the house sound, they can make others. And extrapolating this to other headphone companies, what if all you ever heard from Grados were John Grado's Grados? And then something like the PS-1 came out (before it was heard), and you'd say -- just like every other time a Grado came out -- "oh, great, another grate-o". And they would have been correct every other time, but they would have been wrong this time. You only need to be wrong once to be wrong. I'm not saying you're wrong (that's directed more at Jacob, but also at you for defending the ability to be wrong like that) this time, but I am saying you're jumping the gun to make generalizations like that without having heard it. And with regard to me sure that I'm straight -- let's put it this way: I'm sure. The 90's was a fairly interesting time for me -- 'nuff said.

This was my first thought as well. (Well, actually, I thought the carcass fell out of the car, but that was my second thought.)

Didn't you just get accepted to MIT or something like that?

Without hearing it, really? Yes, I saw Jacob's post about synopsizing the article -- don't care. I'm going to call people on it every time they do it...as long as I'm not too lazy not to care. It's stupid, and we should be above that here. We've proven over and over again that one review is not sufficient data to describe a headphone/amp/source component/whatever. And that said, you know as well as the rest of us, if you post anything, you're just as likely to get a response of the caliber I posted, as well, so be prepared for that as well. I like it here -- doesn't mean I have to like each individual post. How about never? The difference between making generalizations and prejudice is that, with generalizations, you're not applying the generalization to an individual based on the group they're in -- you of all people should understand that. I'm not saying that on a personal level you can't decide you never need to listen to another Beyer in your life, but you don't need to post that every time a Beyer thread comes up. Jesus Christ, I don't, and there are a lot of brands that I'm prejudiced against. I do once in a while, but not every. single. fucking. time. It gets old.

Foetus, Hide -- first release of all-new Foetus material* since 2005's Love, which was a great record, so expectations are fairly high. *Yes, I know, he did: a soundtrack, a live album, a remix album, the J.G. Thirlwell/Manorexia album for John Zorn's Tzadik label, that documentary thing, and an album of remastered/reworked material, but those don't count.

I've been without alcohol for several days now -- it won't kill you.

Because...when I think, "I want to buy an iPad", I think clothing store?

That's what I wanted to hear. That's pretty much why I'm asking. I mean, considering Stereophile just put the Oppo BDP-83SE in their products-of-the-year list, I would think that they would strive to recreate that success story.

Agree on both counts. And I haven't even heard the T1 yet. At this point, I think I'm going straight to wanting to listening to these instead.

Jesus Christ, do you have to post something negative every time the name Beyerdynamic comes up? It's getting old, dude. Go back and listen to your speakers.

Any predictions (or knowledge would be fine, too) as to whether or not there will be an upgrade package again, like with the -83 to the -83SE? That ended up working out real well for me.

morphsci, is that the Grand Cru?

Wait, what? Emelius, I will definitely check White Collar out, I vaguely remember the previews, looked like it had potential. Me: Human Target, finally!

Link Modeled after the T1... $1295 MSRP... Closed... Designed to be driven "straight"... Hmmm...I'm a gonna need to hear these...(strokes chin)...

Ditters on the well wishes.

OMG, that's the video with the most cute ever. You think it's like a whole pile of cute, but you take away some of the cute, and what is there? MOAR CUTE!

Really? Worked for me. Here, try this (and click on the first link).

I ran across the word "Paracusia" yesterday, when I tried to look up the word for "things you hear in recordings that aren't really there". Paracusia is auditory hallucinations -- but that's not exactly what I wanted. I wanted those things on like Black Sabbath albums when you think you hear your name being called from the next room ...but you only hear it when you're listening to that spot on that Black Sabbath album. Your mind interprets a combination of harmonics with your name being called, sort of like interpolation (or is it extrapolation?). The aural equivalent of phosphenes (and to prevent Jacob from going into a murderous rage, phosphenes are those fireworks-like lights you see when you rub your closed eyes, because you're stimulating your optic nerve with nearby pressure). So if anyone knows the word for that, I wouldn't mind knowing what it is, my google-fu failed me.

I almost posted that, but the idea was to save on paper.
