Exactly, and one of the reasons it is more hazardous to my health, long term. Pripyat has better fried carp though and vodka, which is necessary when eating the carp.

I'll have to vote for NYC both short and long term.

Heh, having been to both Pripyat and NYC, Pripyat is only "hotter" in the not so good sense.

I actually bought my 404LEs from Dinan and it was one of the few recent HF transactions that was pleasant. At the time he also listed those as his backup pair so he must have backups for his backups.

MOTS are members first and as long as they abide by the member rules (i.e. no business conducted) they can certainly register as members only. I have so decreed.

I do think the 404LE make a nice companion phone to the O2. However, IMO the HE-60 beat them sonically although I do worry about my aging HE-60s.

Now that is more interesting since I do not think those are independent in his case.

^^^ Nah. I have to be able to demonstrate statistical chops and that doesn't even require statistics.

@Vicki: Sorry about your sucky day. We will definitely have to work on some Chicago fun for CanJam. Me: Just found out that I should probably prepare a resaerch seminar. Now to decide on a topic.

I'll take that bet. You provide the Archaeopteryx.

Agreed. I'll have to watch my back on the walk home.

Wow. Now I am trully impressed. You listened to all those phones, plus the ones with the recessed mids, on the same system during the same period? Trully amazing.

^^^ The D2000s do leak a fair bit.

Based upon my ecotoxicology and personal experience we will merely have to agree to disagree on this one.

Yes we had unused rooms for the 4th and 5th but all the rooms for the third (don't ask me why there were fewer rooms allocated on the 3rd) were reserved and extra rooms had to be added. I stopped trying to understand how they allocate rooms over the discount period after the 3675th email.

Exactly. Knowing that makes it easy to fix. Have a drinking contest and the first one to lose their phone is the guinea pig.

I'm actually kind of surprised remote detonation is not part of their prototypes (and programmers).

Yep, already happened. Posting this from an iPad at BestBuy. Keyboard is really quite good and the browser is peppy on wifi.

^^^ That is a good ale.

Yes, we will be calling.

I'm constantly amazed at how so many phones HPA listens to that have "recessed mids". It seems so consistent that my hypothesis is that the listener's receivers have low sensitivity in the mids.

[rantOn]In a science class you should teach science. You do not necessarily have to just teach the straight and narrow but subjects that are absolutely not science have no place in a science curriculum. For homeopathy, some of its tenets have been experimentally validated, some have not. The point is, most of its claims are testable, even if it may be difficult to do so. I see no problem with it being part of a science class.[/rantOff]

^^^ Yep. I have a whole raft of stuff on my CanJam list this morning so I will be talking to Alyssa and will report back. MusicDirect will most likely be there but they are one of numerous vendors that have not finalized the details yet.
