I hear self immolation works

I just watched the first half of it. My recording got cut off. So I'm downloading it to finish it.

Especially nearly deaf old fuckers

That's my ideal laptop, if it ran os X

Things that aren't bridged (or balanced, or differential drive) are singled ended, unbalanced, or "peter preskin like"

I just don't know what to say to this

Mileage varies on that statement

Congrats!

Reread all your posts and tell me again which of us is acting like an arrogant jackass?

No anger with the superbowl. Not an eagles fan. I don't expect you to get why no one except boston and ny fans give a shit about a dull ass game involving boston and ny.

I'm in pennsylvania, and by the rest of the world, I mean everyone that isn't from ny and boston.

This is why the rest of the world doesn't give a shit about boston/new york rivalries.

Build quality is what stops me from even contemplating the denons. When every pair present at the dc july meet last year, that indicated to me they weren't really durable enough.

That line doesn't work if you're a guy...

Thank You For Smoking That was an amusing libertarian propaganda piece...

Full Compass is a very good retailer.

Doesn't matter which phone company you use, if you're in a bad area for their towers, you'll get bad service. At my house, sprint is the only company providing 3g service. AT&T has reasonable GSM coverage here. Sprint/Nextel service is non-existant here. I've never had problems with sprint for texting. Well, I did, 5 years ago.

The difference you're describing is what everyone else has said all along. Balanced drive vs balanced transmission. The benefit to balanced transmission is improved noise reduction. The benefit to balanced drive is improved power, speed, etc. They're different things, and that they have the same name is where you're getting hung up. You can connect the balanced amp to the balanced preamp to the speakers any way you like, and as long as there are conductors for positive and negative, they're being driven balanced. You may get noise if you run the cables too far, or through a noisy environment. That's where balanced transmission provides a benefit. But shielding can have positive and negative side effects. Run fully shielded balanced connections to each earpiece in your headphones, and you'll stop wearing headphones due to neck strain.

When used with a balanced amp, the k1000 is balanced. When used with an unbalanced amp, the k1000 isn't balanced. I said that when used with a speaker amp with a common ground (the norm), it's not balanced. That's it. Balanced amps drive + and - actively. Balanced headphones don't share a common ground. Balanced cables have +, -, and shield. Whether something is balanced or not is entirely based on context.

Your belief coincides directly with mine. Someone else in this conversation is just looking to argue, for whatever reason.

i have a bag of rca plugs around somewhere. ill dig them up and send them to you.

5 Left 15 Right My cable should have inputs too

And why I specified common ground. Anyway, you're just arguing to argue.
