Britts = Aretha Franklin, KK = Lady Gaga. Makes sense who likes what, aye?

I totally agree. I'm a huge midrange fan, if the midrange is off I cannot be bothered with it. The lower end is the problem and that is where IMO they really are helped by driving them balanced and with moar power. Take off the grill and cut out a hole in the center. Then attach speaker cloth to the ring for support. It really helps in making the frequency presentation more cohesive across the the upper- and mid-range.

Primates that do not drink are not to be trusted.

I believe there are actually three Joe Grado cable types used on HP-1000s and the Laboratory Standard is the most recent as said HERE.

x3 on the individual variation among phones, it is huge. Have you cut out or drilled out the plastic screen over the driver yet?

Of course he does, he's listening to HP-1s.

Wii Console Wii Fit+ w Balance Board Extra controllers, nunchuks, motion plus', games, etc. and I thought audio was nuts.

^^^Cool. A bipolar party.

That is what I thought but I actually ran the win7 update compatibility wizard from the cloned hard drive under XP and it gave me a warning of not enough memory when there was 1Gb installed but only 900+Mb available so I assume it is some MS fine-print bullshit.

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply it would not install or run. After I had done the install I was curious as to why it was running like a turd. Then i actually checked the "requirements". It did make a pretty significant difference just going from 1 to 2gb.

Maybe you should stop playing ringtones then.

1 Gb of ram does not meet the minimum requirements for Windows 7 as it requires 1 Gb of free memory. I know because I just upgraded the mom-in-laws laptop and had to upgrade the memory from 1Gb to 2 Gb. I would suggest keeping it an XP machine.

Yep, I was just going for the quicker instant gratification type solution.

You could always use a USB Blu-Ray drive on the Zino. Not an option on the mini.

Excellent, I was more bummed because I thought you may not have had it for Christmas.

Well it looks like my package arrived in Little Neck but the recipient may be in California right now.

I used both bowls and flats depending upon the music but it does take a little while to acclimate to the different pads. I guess overall I used bowls a little more than flats, but then again I'm weird.

Yep, I have never noticed a consistent difference between HP-1 and HP-2, over and above the expected unit to unit differences.

Happy Birthday youngster.

Happiest of Birthdays to You.

x2. I guess that's 4x sorry.

I really do not notice any difference in speed or accessability when using it on my netbook, where I should notice a difference, compared to the iMac or Mac mini. The apple way is only better if you are a pome.

I don't think itunes sucks more on a PC compared to a MAC. It just wants to do things the Apple way, regardless of platform.

When I sing "I Walk the Line".

Put my gift under the tree. Mine should be arriving in Little Neck tomorrow.
