The 6-song EP, or something else? Has it finally leaked? Must. Hear. Nao. Yesterday.

Sounds like a business opportunity -- headphone drapes.

Yeah, I don't have that problem at all (am using a Audio Alchemy DDE for input). Mine's at about a quarter turn, but if I'm listening to an MFSL disk or something (or the other extreme -- something terribly brickwalled), then I'll need to turn it a smidgeon, but since it's at the office (I.E. I don't usually listen to MFSL or metal at the office), this is almost never an issue. 1600 must run pretty "hot".

No, sorry, I wasn't responding to the whole power switch discussion, was referring to this: See that little knob right below the power switch in Nate's pic? That's the level adjustment. I realize it's not convenient, but I haven't found I change them much, once I set the to the appropriate value.

Aw, c'mon, that dude looks good no matter what you photoshop on his head.

Yup, those.

Switches? Mine have an input level continuous knob.

I do. Think red apple in green light -- it turns mostly black, but in your mind it's still red, because we can usually see past "distortions" like that. It's the same thing with audio -- we can usually hear past, for example, cheap car stereos to the music underneath to know that there are frequencies missing, only because we know what the music is supposed to sound like. I suspect what is going on is that it's letting enough information through to let Cynric's "mind's ear" hear what's going on, but it's still wrong. Like the GS-1000. But that's based entirely on hearsay, so don't go repeating that as if I have opinions of the AD2000, which I haven't heard myself.

Now you tell him.

Sarcasm Detector -- for realsies

I have a pair, I know what they look like. And I just don't find them that dorky looking.

Yeah, Patton Oswalt is a genius -- thanks for recognizing the reference.

US cage fighter Jarrod Wyatt rips training partner Taylor Powell's heart out while still alive -- yeezh. The explanation is a combination of being high on shrooms and...oh, who cares? Yeezh.

Incorrect. Side dish should be on the side. -tini. What's next -- french fries on your burger? Why don't you just mix it all up in a bowl lay it in a trough in front of you?

I understand you were talking about the looks, I remain perplexed. The Shures are basically typical design headphones -- not too unlike the Sony MDR-V6/-7506 -- in looks, and black. The Triports -- I can spot them a mile away, and they look...toyish. Anyway, you're entitled to your opinion, I just completely disagree. Must be an across-the-pond thing.

Yeah, but don't you like detail?

Wait, you think they're worse than the Triports?

I've had a burger with fried onions -- you know, the crispy breaded kind? -- instead of ...you know, fried onions. On the burger. That was bizarre.

Look, an Angler fish.

I don't know man, he didn't pick up feigning death until level 30?

So hot, worth posting her picture thrice. It was a feeble attempt at humor. Here, I'll try again: I thought the pair next to each other was a stereogram.

I just thought you thought she was really really really hot.

The more I think about that one, the more I want it on a T-shirt.

I think the wait between the first and the twelfth will be much more significant than the wait from the 12th to the 14th.
