Sorry for you and Fred, Steve. It doesn't seem fair.

Yeah, I always thought it was the ions (minerals) in the water that made it truly conductive.

Happy Birthday Tyll! Maybe the celebrating can make into this weekend in NC.

If you plan on keeping it alive for much longer, you may want to set up an ebay search or other way to grab a backup drive. IDE is getting pretty hard to find on unused cdrom drives. They seem to start showing signs of failure by about every 5 years in my experience.

I seriously wonder if he has even heard them.

Can you tell me if he has ever been so far even as decided to use look go like the O2?

That is one beautiful looking amp, glad you survived the shock treatment.

NoNoNoNoNoNo

This just in... early survey results indicate that the percentage of misbehaving individuals just went up to 99%. A leading factor in the majority of the final 1% seems to be that they are currently under the age of 9.

Really hope that your hopes come true and fast Ethan, it truly sounds like a horrible and frightening experience.

Sorry Brent, I hope things work out for the best for you and the kids soon.

Haha, I wasn't cold enough to pull out a camera while people were putting out the flames. The Wave seemed to me like it was a bit bright in his system.

Went to a get together of some speaker guys to listen to the Eastern Electric MiniMax DAC compared to the TPA Buffalo32. That didn't happen because of an incident where the EE Dac must have let off an ultrasonic frequency on powering off with the pre and amp still powered on that caused an overload on the McIntosh power amp and causing the ribbon tweeters of the $15k Piega C8 limited speaker to burst into flames. Dealer down the the road brought in some nice usher speakers to replace them within 15 mins. Feel bad for the guy, he took seeing his speakers burst into flames remarkably well. Also got a chance to listen to the PS Audio Wave DAC and bridge. Pretty sweet looking combo, didn't mesh well with the speakers though.

Is this forum solely based on bitter head-casers? It would be more interesting if someone who I at least gave a fuck about would think to search and ask questions about what they might want to discuss without me having to cater to them. Sorry about your thin skin.

Scotch was evidenced to give people super powers. You will be able to hear deeper into the mix then ever before. DAC makers will line up to give you discounts on their Dacsies and email addresses. The experiment was a total success, but a warning, we have also learned that its only weakness is the Edition 8. Your hearing pallete and sense of style will quickly be ruined from their blast.

I sold my HD600 and kept the HD650 after thinking that I liked the tonality of the HD650 with more of my music. I don't know if it was more realistic in my mind for sure, but it was more engaging at least.

I clicked it on facebook. Up to 2.25 myself. I used to use yahoo briefcase in the 90s and was extremely useful when I used to randomly work on computers for storing software tools. This seems much better.

Great news Naaman, hope everything will now go as planned (or maybe better).

Nah, TBH I woke up late, so skipped breakfast and went to chik-fil-a on the way to play volleyball. Am enjoying a ruination IPA now while I wait on fancy cheese.

Scotch and buttered toast.

Its the only full-sized dynamic I haven't brought myself to get rid of.

Newbies sometimes talk about head-fi a lot. In fact, its often a place people here recommend for them instead. I think the longer you stay a member here, the less most wish to continue to rant about head-fi. Well, maybe not, there is a lot of ignorant stuff said there that you do have to ignore, but its an SSDD situation that you no longer wish to hear as much about if that makes sense. And assuming you can participate and stay a member; we all enjoy our hobby, but this forum is more about a like minded community between a close group with the hobby coming somewhere inside of that. Because of that, I personally feel that the hobby banter is much more meaningful and focused on adding to the conversation when you are replying to a friend rather then a stranger. Knowing the person more can make even seemingly trivial things much more interesting and/or useful.

When I do talk about headphones, the thought of the HD650 being neutral doesn't cross my mind. Based on the OPs thoughts, its an easy decision over the Denon.
