Dusty Chalk

Wide (I.E. look at the upper and lower drop-off frequencies)? Flat? Perhaps a little bump in the presence region? Perhaps a little bump in the 5kHz region (is that "air")? Perhaps a little valley in the sibilance region? There was an article I read once that gave real-world examples of what all frequency regions "mapped" to, wish I could find it again.

You're right, upon re-inspection, there is no flaking. -10 observant points for me.

Oh, is there one in each cup? Missed that. I agree with your conclusion.

I'm betting it's the same as the AKG mini-XLR connector, although I'm not seeing the classic round button.

So the flaking is -- burned skin? Wow, you're a braver man than I. I usually just let my natural hair color grow out before I go lighter, and then I don't go much lighter (I'm usually going darker than my natural hair color).

I mean that not only will the reviews be positive, but that the reviewers will be figuratively creaming themselves. And no, I hate bukkake scenes, but one can't be it's hard to be on the internet, male, and not know what it is. If only so one knows what to avoid.

That's awesome, considering...well, not what it originally said, but what it was based on (the Fawlty Towers "Germans" episode). What did the Newman (?) one say, originally?

Yes, please. And what's the black paint for? I should get some ultra-fine sandpaper, too -- don't want it to look too new. I should misspell something. Gado. HP-2001. Something. EDIT: Nevermind, don't need the black paint, none of that came off, only the outer circle lettering. PS What does it say, specifically? Grado something Precision something HP-1000?

I have high hopes for their sound. And I don't think they're fugly. Just...not black enough.

Thanks for taking one for the team!

It'll be a review-bukkake-bonanza.

Ask him about the lettering. Kidding.

They should just lock that entire thread into memory so that it doesn't get swapped out.

Small can of red paint and a fine paintbrush. J/K...

HD 680, since the link to that page reroutes you to the HD 800. That's my theory. And I agree with the staggered release, that just makes marketing/hype sense.

I'll wait for the robot-made trickle-down technology, thanks. Make it black this time, bitches. Metal skeleton encased in carbon fiber, perhaps.

But that was the stated reason for not shipping without payment, "past problems". It'll satisfy Mikhail's "accounts" person, if it comes to that.

L.S.G., the unreleased album -- right up there with In To Deep, groovy.

Not as bizarre as Antec's new one:

Audio Technica W2002 are pretty much cream-worthy. That said, I don't care how ugly they are if they live up to the marketbabble.

So the big new technology is that it's a ring instead of a solid circle?

I almost said the black ones were also Reference 3A's, but the slope didn't seem sharp enough...

I have that. I was totally gay for anything that had the word "techno" or "trance" in it. I probably have 20 volumes of the Techno Trax series of compilations. And Volume. I think I have everything on this page except for Sally's Photographic Memory and Deep Trance and Ritual Beats and Chakra Journey. Alright, maybe 95% of everything on that page.

There is in my world. Of course, I have no idea how to let anyone else besides me in, so you're on your own.

I see Reference 3A (I think) and Wilson Benesch, but can't name either from the first pic. Nice rug you've got there, really brings the room together.
