I wonder if the masses will cry if the first thing I do at Canjam is lop off the stock plug and solder on a 4-pin XLR?

Officially paid for the B&K 700 which should arrive mid next week.

STAY AWAY FROM SONY. What ever you do, please, please, please don't buy a Sony baby monitor. I hate ours with a passion (can you tell?) so deep that I want to grab the every time I have to use it. Ours is this fawking turd Sony Baby Call Baby Monitor - 900MHZ - Sony Electronics - Babies "R" Us and is the spawn of Satan. It goes off every time you so much as walk by the receiver or sometimes for now reason at all. Imagine when your kid is sick and you're trying to figure out if that semi-cough you thought you just heard was vomit and you wonder why the monitor didn't go off. Then as you walk over it goes off and you freeze in your tracks like a deer in the headlights. Craning your heck and listening for the slightest sound. Only to have it stop after a few seconds (auto mode) and then when you take another step it goes off again. Rinse, repeat, panic attack. Or, if you need to use AC in the summer and don't have baby in the room with you and count on the monitor to let you know what is going on it's quite fucking annoying when in the middle of the night with the transmitter a scant 20' away the receiver looses its signal and emits a sharp, loud, stacatto beep-beep-beep-beep unit it gets the signal back. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I can't decide what made us sleep worse, lily or that goddamn baby monitor. And if it were me, no video, no thank you. Some times not knowing is so much better than knowing.

You will learn quickly what I'm sure others have already told you, now begins the phase of life where your kid gets all the cool shit.

I sent an email, I'll probably leave him alone for a little while longer.

I'm trying to resist the urge to call, but I forgot to put my head-fi user name in the comments field and I just want to make sure it gets processed without a hitch. I'm assuming my order, confirmed at 8:15am EST will make the cut.

How'd you do that? I wouldn't mind having #8 to match my HF-1s.

Graco Snug Ride here, it's worked great and it's a must to have a base in both cars. The detachable part worked great since the seat mounts directly to our Bob Revolution stroller so we didn't have to buy a dedicated infant stroller.

T-minus, what, 10 minutes before Todd's site crashes?

It is amazing how likely this scenario is. And the epic irony that is Head-case ordering the first 20 pairs or so will probably not be missed either.

Jack, my guess is that it's unlikely that they'll ship before canjam and this is just a preorder which in my mind makes it perfectly legit to cancel if I don't like what I hear.

Yes, you have it right. Grado makes lots of different headphones concurrently, no big shock there. The HF-2, whatever it is, has probably been in the works for a while and maybe had fewer production issues compared to the GS1000s. I don't see anything nefarious here.

3 for 3.

x2 This doesn't appear to have hit Head-Fi yet miraculously. Can't wait to see the frenzy unfold there.

It won't suck if it drives the price of HF-1s down a bit.

F me.

n_maher: Saturday morningish? Hopefully there no later than noon. Due to the one day nature of my visit I'm going to be a mooch and not volunteer.

I don't know what to use this for but it's got to be good for something.

Disney w/ kids will be a blast.

I'm hopeful at the rumored price drops for data plans come true, that'd make it brutally tempting to pick up a used one. You'd think that AT&T would be trying to wrap up as much market share as possible given the rampant rumors of a Verizon Iphone.

Is that the Ipod Touch knockoff-type DAP you have?

Nice!

Yes, I believe that he does.

I don't understand the "smaller than expected" comments, did you guys not just pull out a ruler to see how big it was going to be from the dimensions given on the site? Or is it smaller than those dimensions would indicate?

Just apply what we've heard so far Stretch, it has ~100db of attenuation compared to the standard ~60db so it's able to have a higher gain but still provide ample adjustment for sensitive phones. Hence, no gain switch required, its "range" if you will is unprecedented.
