  1. What is likely to be new?

    I personally am waiting until Spring for Senn (if not earlier). I am 99.9 percent sure come CanJam time, my wallet will be open.

    See, now there's your reason for a beta22. The beta absolutely rocks with the HD650s, I can only imagine what it'll be like with the HD(insertnumberhere). >:D

  2. mmmmm... Donuts!

    Jay,

    If that beta was setup for a gain of 5 single-ended it has an effective gain of 10 balanced. And I hope Steve didn't have his beta setup for a gain of 11, jebus I can't imagine what would need a gain of 22. :o Touch the knob on that amp and Grado's would explode.

  3. There goes my iPod....

    Ah, got it. My favorite was when it first went in for repair because it wouldn't stay on for more than 5 seconds and wouldn't hold any charge. They returned it to me after replacing its battery, but never tested to see if that actually fixed the problem. And since I'm typing this, it didn't. Every time I take it back, I wonder why I didn't just get an Apple care for it.

    Best Buy does have a lemon policy, you should ask about it when you get it back this time. They had to replace my D70 under that rule.

    Thanks for the offer, Nate. I had to send the iPod in so I don't have it anymore. I'll just have to contend myself with listening to my audiobooks at home (and listen to NPR during my commute), which really isn't a bad thing.

    Oh, I mean when you get it back. Then you can say, "Look, I just had this thing fixed and now it's dead again." If this was the first time it'd had an issue I'd never suggest such a thing but given the craptacular history I'd say it's warranted.

  6. Post the last thing you bought!

    Also, let us know how it sounds.

    Ok, so the HCT/Dared arrived this afternoon. Initial thoughts have me laughing Dr. Evil style that I paid as little as I did for it. For one thing it's in pretty good shape, just a minor mark here and there and it sounds pretty decent. There's something a bit artificial about it but I don't really care about its performance as a headphone amp, I'll be much more interested to get it home and see how it does driving a small pair of bookshelf speakers. I've got a little pair of Boston Acoustics HD-5s that are itching for something to shake the dust off them.

  18. What is your current project, or what will be your next project?

    Hey, are you going from instructions for this, or are you just winging it? I wouldn't mind doing something similar.

    I don't think there's much magic to it, you just need to have real candle wick to make it work. Just soaking string in wax to impregnate it with fuel won't work very well. Otherwise it's just find a vessel, heat wax and pour around wick. My mom used to recycle candles.

  20. Denon AH-D2000--big disappointment.

    I think the D5000 is going to hit a whole new level of fotm status with markl selling his R10 for one >:D I can already see the ipodpj posts praising it as the best headphone :P

    Saw that thread this morning and had similar thoughts. Of course it should also be accompanied by a mass sell-off of D5000's in a few months which might not be so bad for those of us who might want to give them a spin.
