Koss ESP/950 electrostat thread
Shit-fuck. Not cool! I love these phones, just like I love my UE11. Its the small things that kill my buzz though like not sounding balanced between left and right. I can sell these though I would much rather have matched drivers instead.

The Headcase Stax thread
An SRM-717 may be hitting the market soon, wish I could afford. Sounds like Spritzer knows a way to make a cable that leaches bias so that you can use them with the Sigma.

Koss ESP/950 electrostat thread
I dunno man, mine has a slight channel imbalance that only shows up on the stax amp (maybe crosstalk in play) and *when I get noise* I only get it with the stax amp in the left channel. The right channel has never given me problems either. This seems too common for me to quickly pass it off as a coincidence. I'm thinking it might be common to the adapters for Stax amps. The noise continues when I disconnect as well, but I listened for three hours last night and eventually (after about twenty minutes) it was silent on both. I can't find a common factor to create it except the Stax adapter or SRM-T1 and sometimes no problem at all.... this annoys me greatly.

His replies to the comments are pretty good too.

Please drink a toast to my dad
Sorry to hear about your family's loss and wish that I would have raised a glass last evening as well. I'll make up for that tonight.

The Headcase Stax thread
I have and it did lower the noise some (by almost half). No matter what I do though, it doesn't fully stop even with the wires as far apart as they go. ERS paper to the rescue!

Apparently, this gets around router filtering too. Sweet....

The Headcase Stax thread
It is only on the left for me as well. It is odd to me that, even with all the other owners, this now seems like it is a common problem.

The Headcase Stax thread
This is weird. I have the EXACT same experience with my new ESP950! I feel a little vindicated that it is not isolated now at least.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
USB powered voice changers (mask reminded me of Darth Vader). Man, that would be fun for online gaming. It seems to me that it would pull the flu right in to your mouth on the right side as those dinky face masks do little to prevent influenza.

Headroom Balanced Ultra Desktop
Too bad that it only does 24/96 optical or coax out though, so not really much different then M-audio transit as a tranport.

Six for a shade under $100, its still affordable. Picked up two, I'm joining a traveling rodeo this summer (actually traveling technology camp).

Flight Case?
Considering they are a bunch of small diced shaped foam blocks that you pick out, it would be hard trimming each tiny block and then reassembling. I bought two for my Stax or Grado this summer.

HD800? Another rumor?
I like it gritty while it dissolves my teeth (if I had any left ).

Post the last thing you bought!
Exactly. Figuring out what I like between my choices before I start selling off gear if it comes to that. I do have a job teaching at a Tech camp this summer at least that provides housing and food, so I'm taken care of until fall on my savings at least. I wish your daughter the best of luck on her surgery tyrion, I can't imagine how you must feel.

ESP950 w/ Stax adapter.

HD800? Another rumor?
Well, yeah, but that certainly would ruin any cinnamon buns for you in the future.

HD800? Another rumor?
The smell of ____ mixed with cinnamon, not to mention the cinnamon burn isn't soothing. DO NOT BUY.

Happy Birthday hYdrociTy
Sorriez I is late. Geez, from what I'm hearing from several others, seems you really are a scammer. I hope you get no presents.

What did you do today?
In NC, its illegal to have a union or form one for teachers according to my contract. NCAE is the closest thing we have (just lobbyists) and I'm not paying them since they couldn't contact me I suppose after I met them at teacher orientation. I wouldn't now anyway, they're sitting quiet. Things are about to get worse, the 65 million taken from State Employees won't be more then a drop in the bucket with their 3 BILLION dollar shortfall. I had my school contact the pay department at Human Resources. You have to go in person or send through delivery confirmed mail pretty much, know from experience that they don't pick up the phone or empty their messages. The school told me it would be a week, I SHOULD get paid for June, the governor didn't issue an executive order about that.

What did you do today?
I teach. All State employees are getting it. 0.5% off of their annual pay that has to be taken out of the their paychecks before the end of the fiscal year (June 31st). Problem is that teachers don't get paid for the half month of work in June because they got paid for a full month for the half month of work they did in August. I didn't get to start until September 2nd because of Graduation in July and paperwork delays from the State. So... I didn't get paid for June because I didn't work in August. And I only have one more paycheck... in May. So $150 (0.5% of 30k) will come out of that. I don't have to worry about the 10 hour furlough unless my employer decides to take it out of June's school days and that would cost more if they paid substitutes. I have been told my contract probably won't be renewed, so if its not renewed by June 31st, it can't be with the system how it is currently. I really wouldn't care about the measly pay cut and furlough in the future if it wasn't that it was all coming at once out of my last paycheck before I'm out of a job. Not in NC. Its 0.5% before the end of June and 10 hours off unpaid decided by your employer that has to be taken between June and December.
