  1. Thankssszzz......
  2. This sounds like an unrecabled pair -- am I right? I don't prefer the K1000 over the O2, but I feel it has a place in my collection, and the O2 does not. The K1000 is so different from every other headphone -- mostly in presentation, but if well driven, it's also one of the better dynamic headphones (it, uh, is dynamic, isn't it?) -- that I just like having one around to listen to once in a while. The O2, the HD800, and pretty much every other headphone out there, even the one with the drivers that are more or less in front of you (one of the older Stax models, I forget which ones, great big horkin' boxes on the ears) don't compare to the K1000. The O2 is downright pedestrian in its presentation -- they're still basically headphones. Not that there's anything wrong with that! (I love my headphones.) But the combination of the wings and the quality just elevate the K1000 to something special. And good point about the meets -- the meets are a really hard place to listen to K1000's. You basically have to be able to listen to two things at once, and then tune one of them out. Usually the louder one (at the levels I listen to, anyway). Sort of like watching a transparent computer monitor view superimposed on a pair of glasses while walking down a busy street.
  3. That's a typical day for Savage Love (a column I used to read in City Paper).
  4. Oh-ah...er...uh...um... (...means "I love you"...)
  5. "Epitaph One" unaired Dollhouse episode that Joss Whedon did on his own dime -- pretty fucking good, if you ask me. Interesting. Dark. Quite a departure. Depressing. Topher's performance was particularly poignant. I also liked how they thought his area was a day-care center.
  6. Shades of Redd, Freddie Redd Quintet, needledrop Dig! And sounds exquisite, I really need to set up my own needledrop rig.
  7. Happy birthday!
  8. "selective"?
  9. I actually had to think for a minute what 14xl meant.
  10. Just as a bit of background, my sister has been accused of loving these types of animals a bit much.
  11. And difficult to work with, perhaps.
  12. What's it made out of, chainmail?
  13. orange chicken, of the not-so-good breaded variety Oh, well.
  14. Thanks guys, especially for the donation. My sister was out walking her dog Piper yesterday, and they found another one. Puppy, didn't even look like it had been weaned yet (which means its mother was probably killed). Not up on the site yet, I'll post pics later.
  15. Wow, what a weird place to have an in-store.
  16. The DPS is an upgrade external power supply for the BUDA. Someone else will have to respond about the GS-X.
  17. What do the lights do?
  18. Also, distance plays into it as well.
  19. Everyone does -- it's a classic foible. If your partner doesn't, then he's the odd one out. (I have a really hard time with ice cream -- if French vanilla is available, it's an easy preference, but it usually isn't. If it's just chocolate or vanilla, I let other people go first, and then I pick whatever there's more left of. Thank god for swirls.)
  20. I can confirm the HD800 sounds great out of the GSX. I can't confirm but suspect the HD800 would sound just fine out of the BUDA+DPS, so it sounds like one of those non-lose choices (you know, like choosing between two different flavors of ice cream that you like).
  21. :drool: Of course, I don't know what half of these are. What the hell is a CXD9709Q? Yes, I can google, I am doing so...
  22. That's some serious fucking detail on that Ferrari model.
  23. So far: stayed up way too late, slept, made a cup of tea, fed the kitty, not much more.
