Who is that in your avatar, Jon L? What's not hidden by hair is grade A smokin' hot. Oh yeah, Nakamichi stuff is pretty sweet. Yeah.

That's cool. You're obviously going to the better meet, but I think it should be interesting getting myself reacquainted with the world of dynamics. And VA is a bit closer to me/us than Florida.

My bad. Yeah, what can I say; they're heathens. If I make it, I'll make sure to infect the people there with the electrostatic bug.

I'm working on that now. Well, I'm always playing through like 10 pieces at a time, so it's.. one of the ones I'm working on now. Expect it right after the Chaconne.

Dude, do you even know me?

But Patrick82 will figure out how to put this in there, so he wins.

Jena Labs will find a way to fit this in there:

Arlington, VA Meet #2 December 5 - December 5 - Fall/Winter DC-area meet, Arlington VA - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio I'll probably be there. Damn, going to two meets within 2 months of each other... what is wrong with me.

I thought that was Rosie O' Donnell. Sounds exactly like a vintage undamped ortho, especially if you include Colin's comments about it being bassy and muddy sounding. Way cool.

True. And yay for your deciding to buy the HE5! Are you buying that exact pair or a brand new one?

That TT cart must've scratched your CD up good, huh?

Yeah I don't think I would, either. I think the velour against the head is just for comfort issues and the sides being made of leather still seals in the bass, so I wouldn't expect any difference.

Did they have the new headband? All the other things don't sound promising... maybe a crapload of damping would help that out, but who knows what it would do to soundstage. The velours leak bass so the HE5 would probably also sound muddy and bassy with sealing leather pads. And so the wait continues.

Oh, it's low enough, that's for sure. Only problem is a combination of my own stupid sense of morality and insane workload. That and I'm not really into sloppy seconds.

Hah, indeed. And depending on where it is in the world.. probably Japan. Curse you and all the large driver orthos you've owned. I haven't even owned one... yet. I hope.

Happy birthday! Tipping... a hat to you:

I might actually go for something like that. If I saw a YH-5M pop up FS I'd buy it in a flash. One of the manliest precision instruments ever made.

I assume it would just be shit to signal ratio approaches infinity.

Hm, looking that up ended in me seeing a picture of an ugly penis with a cock ring in an ad on Craiglist.

This will be me in 20-30 years. Including the mustache and the turtle-neck sweater.

They look a little less like something else I first thought of.

Please, I'd have to be beat up, bound and gagged, with my loved ones' lives on the line before I'd order a JH13. Nah, I might try it if I had a couple grand to spare, but uh... I don't.

But do they like you?

While having the JH13 order page open

I'm going to wait for more impressions with the O2/exstata (I've given up on remembering what's upper case) combo before I consider buying an O2. As it is, I preferred my SR-5NB or SR-X through the SRD-7 + my CR-620 to the O2 through the SRM-1/MkII.
