You may want to read the measurements and Koch's response before you lump him in with the snake oil boys. He does have a little experience in digital audio. What he said, at least to me, makes theoretical sense. If you optimize your algorithm for the reproduction of acoustic signals that are a complex mixture of tones and then measure with a single pure signal you may not be measuring it properly. However, I do not see how that explains the specific measurement anomalies that JA found in this case. That could also be because I do not have Koch's expertise in the field or it could be because he has a vested interest in the product, or both. That is why I found his response interesting.

^^^ Now that's impressive. Nice haul Al.

That's the way I feel about the Patriots.

Go Colts! (Actually I would be happy regardless of the outcome but I like being contrary).

Very noice! What are you going to drive them with?

Agreed. I did like Andreas Koch's response in the manufacturers response. Interesting, although I can't really decide who to believe at this point.

Duh! This is Head-Case, it's drunk slanty-eyed.

Noted and info sent off. You shouldn't have to call, this is the 21st century and boolean logic still works AFAIK.

Happy Happy Birthday Dom

OK just a room update as the system seems to be at least temporarily in order. Our room block for the 4th and 5th is 125 rooms each night. We currently have 36 rooms booked the 4th and 35 the 5th. There are no (none, zilch) double rooms available on the 4th, only king rooms available. We had to guarantee 200 room/nights and right now we are at 100 and have not even started member registration yet, so I am a happy man and will celebrate with some GTS tonight!

Sorry for the belated birthday wishes my man. We should catch a meal at Three Floyd's soon as I have never been there.

Well done sirs, well done.

Yes, well-played sir, well-played.

Probably what they were told, but not exactly the "whole" truth. Alissa was there today and took things up with the reservations manager. She was pretty appalled by Al's description of what he had to do to get a room. Hopefully, this fix sticks for more than 24 hours. The whole double versus king issue is separate. Our block contains mostly king as most of the rooms in the hotel are kings. There is an option for a rollaway bed if you are stuck with a King room and need a double to help maintain your virginity.

Woot! But now we know what happened to their system!

Have a call and an email (detailing Al's information: Thanks Al) in to our rep. Unfortunately, Alissa sounded pretty bad yesterday when I talked to her so she may be home today.

They are good enough and different enough from the MS-Pro's to keep. The HF-1's on the other hand .... I think they need to be woodified.

Excellent. Yep. I want to know as it seems to be a somewhat recurring issue.

OK, the early and late dates is just another screw-up so that should be resolved shortly. I just got off the phone and I had our rep. check on the available rooms. Every night looks fine except for the 4th. The hotel says they only have about 100 rooms left for that night, so a heads up there for getting your reservations in earlier rather than later. The King bed issue is a little stickier as it is based upon their definition of a single occupancy room. Most of our reserved rooms are reserved as single occupancy and thus are kings. If you have specific issues we can probably get them worked out with our rep so let me know. So Marc if you need me to get our rep to check on this for you you can PM or email me the specifics. Also, keep posting here if you have any issues as above so we can get them resolved as quickly as possible.

You are correct. I have a call in about both issues and will let you know when I hear anything.

There seems to be some issues if you want a double room versus a King room. I'm not sure what it is so I will call and find out. If you are reserving over the web, use our dedicated link: http://ohare.hyatt.com/groupbooking/chirohead2010 If you want to use the telephone, call the Hyatt Regency O'Hare directly at (847) 696-1234 That's the way I would do it. You will have separate confirmation numbers so it should not be an issue. If you are wanting a double room you may want to wait until I get some more information on that.

Interestingly, I just downloaded the demo for THIS yesterday. Haven't even installed it yet but it looked interesting. I'm not sure if it is exactly what you are looking for but it looked pretty flexible.

Have a very proper Happy Birthday.

^^^ You used a lot of comparisons (similes) in your description. I did find your description eerily similar to mine on my one and only listen to the 780. Absolutely the worst headphone I ever listened to, bar none. Oh, welcome to Head-Case and read (with comprehension) your welcome PM.

Have a Very Big and Happy Birthday.
