  1. Yes, it's done on purpose
  2. I mean produced in the last 10 years
  3. Given that almost everyone that has one is a member here, and they ARE very good headphones, I'm not sure I get your concern?
  4. I'm bringing my HK tactical 45 to the beach this fall but I've never gotten the silencer for it. I should save up and do that.
  5. Watery silence?
  6. You wouldn't hear them without an amp They're not extremely demanding of the amplifier, I like them a lot from the duet.
  7. Can you hear the space between your ears?
  8. I wouldn't compromise to a stepup to save $20-30, personally.
  9. I don't think RS1s are the "regular grado sound", I haven't heard the MSPRO or RS2, and I think the HF2 sounds nothing like the HP2 or GS1000, except in that it's a grado, so the presentation is similar, even tho the tone isn't.
  10. That's easy, becauseI was being inflammatory, just like he was , you missed our 3am conversation at canjam
  11. Ok, so the more verbose explaination: It's not racist to review or not review anything. Even rap. It's not racist to like or not like any music. Even rap. It's a copout to say it, it's typical liberal guilt. People review things that they think their readership is interested in or that they themselves are interested in. If you want there to be more reviews of rap for audiophile readers, find some, and review it. Honestly, there is discussion of rap even on headfi, it's just not as common as many other genres. Why does deathmetal get discussed? Because the people that like it are nerds who spend all their time on forums, and talk about it. Tyll said it took him a long time to find a well recorded rap piece to put on his sampler, and he ended up with MC 900 Ft Jesus. It's just not something people do anything interesting with in the recordings, generally speaking. I like a lot of rap, but I'm not excited about it generally, because its' the same stuff I've been listening to for 10 or more years. I haven't discovered new rap in ages.
  12. You did. The advantage of replying on a phone is I have incentive to be efficient in my replies.
  13. Oh fuck off. It's not racist to not like rap.
  14. Last night: Drove from PA to Alexandria, and dropped off the Drobo. Then went to Austin Grill for dinner. They've gone way down hill in the last couple of years. Then drove to Fayetteville, NC. Today: hang with the in-laws, then drive to the beach.
  15. Yes, any headfi member can purchase an hf2 from todd.
  16. I like a lot of rap, but given that most of it is poorly recorded, it's not surprising audiophiles don't talk about it a lot. The best rap has a lot of jazz, of course.

  20. Emptied the trap on my washer. A set of measuring spoons, a pencil, 4 socks, and a plastic spudger.
  21. It's good to see you don't fuck around about anything Al
  22. Aside from the grits and cole sllaw, that sounds like heaven
  23. Ok, since plain english isn't accurate enough for the pedant brigade: I drove 0 miles to work today, as is typical for me. Once in a while, I drive more, but that hasnt' happened yet in the 24 hrs since I bought my car.
  24. I drive 0 miles to work
  25. Did get tiptronic, all w8s have awd and monsoon I haven't driven enough to know mileage yet.
