I talked to Justin about it when I ordered my GS-1. The gist of it was that he did build some new modules to test out, but in the end didn't believe they offered enough of a performance upgrade over the original design to justify the extra cost. So I think that's all she wrote.

Since I like wheaters, I like W.L. Weller and the prices are a fucking steal. --

I thought the A2s were really good for a compact computer rig. Jin bought my former pair, so maybe he can chime in too.

I guess that's what they're talking about when they talk about a mid-bass hump!

Love it on the desktop, but the iPhone app sucks for reasons largely beyond their control (sandboxing rules etc.) Their first implementation -- letting you use bookmarklets in Safari -- worked far better and I think they've recently added that functionality back into the desktop version after getting a flood of complaints from whinging ingrates like me.

I didn't know Amazon sold those. Do they qualify for SuperSaver shipping?

Fage, with honey.

Happy happy! Joy joy!

Very interesting. I've never even considered trying to EQ headphones, as I've always thought of it as a way to deal room modes rather than alter driver responses. Could you post a picture of the setup in action, ie. phones on the "ear" showing mic position?

Cleaned up dog diarrhea. Great start to the morning.

Resistance is futile.

Don't forget to tell him the Red Sox suck!

A lot of people use the ECM8000 with REQ. There are calibration files for it knocking around on the Home Theater Shack site where the software is hosted.

Sweet!

^^^ Great shot. Did you see Clarkson's "review" of his rental Sebring in the Times this week? Spot on about the car, a complete fucking tit about everything else, as ever.

That's not . This is .

Move to New England. Problem solved. I bought some of those cheap Keens from REI for next year's brief warm interlude. $0 after dividend. Thanks for the link.

Woo!

I don't suppose you'd like to trade for a 2-1/2-year-old with a Napoleon complex? I'd be willing to throw in some $$$ to sweeten the pot.

Bumping this, my ER-6is have also bitten the dust. I'm not too sad, as I always found them a bit jangly -- for lack of a better word -- though they fit my ears very well with tri-tips. I understand the ER-4ps are a little smoother and bassier and was thinking of picking up a pair. Is there anything else out there in the same general price range that by consensus is a better buy? Guess I'm mostly thinking about the Super.fi 5s or Sleek SA6s. These are my walking the dog/knocking around town phones and are used straight out of an iPhone.

Well, I posted all the ad copy a while ago in the last-thing-you-bought thread, but I thought I'd follow up after a while actually listening to it. Short answers: Yes, it's ridiculously tiny. Yes, it really does sound ridiculously good for its size. I would say it does honest bass down to the specified 80Hz and then some, which is quite an achievement for something that weighs all of 9oz. Mids and treble are clear and pleasant. At three feet or so, it will play louder than I'd care to listen for long. Remarkable given the physical constraints. Could you do better for $199? Sure, a pair of Audioengine A2s will make mincemeat out of it. Could you do better for the sort of application I had in mind? (Wife's office, hiding under monitor, any obvious speakers unacceptable.) I doubt it. Hats off to Dr. Appropriately-Germanic-sounding and all his crew.

Why not? You have.
