I am stuck at work while friends are out riding on the first sunny above zero day in at least a month. fuck

Don't remember. Haven't measured anything since the 800s arrived and I sold everything else. I guess I should sell the 650s but they were the first full size cans I bought on my journey and I just don't want to even though I don't enjoy them. In the end "neutral" really depends on what diffuse field EQ people are aiming for and many other issues. Stax aims for the Diffuse field standard and apparently so does Beyer. I believe that Senn has their own version of the diffuse field EQ that is slightly different again. Who knows. Edit: 6 months with no measurement. Wow..

I guess I had a "Qualia" head because my pair were fine and I didn't have any fit issues for the month or three that I owned them unless I tried hard too by placing them too far forward. My recollection was that I had a pair of smalls. They are Justin's now and I'm hopeful that a lot more people get to try them now. A big player I haven't tried in my setup is the Orpheus and considering I've sold the KGSS I would say that's not going to happen. The only ones that I would like to spend more time with is the 4070. Maybe when I get an office one day I can setup a electrostat rig for work (unlikely).

I did the Q010 vs HD800 too. Again the Qualia came out below. The has enhanced highs and hence seems fast and pinpointed because it makes strings and voices rise out of the less pin-pointable bass. Also the Qualia had worse measured distortion performance if I remember, god they were comfy though. YMMV. My MK1 vs HD800 was done on a KGSS but I really doubt the BH would have made any difference in the end to how it turned out.

They fell out of favor? Not with me. Preferred them to the O2 MK1's I had and thought them less colored.

I'll let you know. My brother is there already and says it's nice but request a higher floor because of the road noise (he lives in a house far from any roads though so he might be overly sensitive).

From what jude says it sounds like the JH13 wins for me anyway.

Sorry Colin, if it doesn't go on a bike or get worn on a bike or isn't a bike or have stuff to do with a bike it usually doesn't happen around my end of the woods anymore

jeez the waffling lasted less than a day

Sometimes I just wonder what it's like in the Stretch household

Congrats. Enjoy it. That is probably the best overall aerobic workout there is.

ditto

Anyone ever done this with Etys?

^ Win. Not day off. Meeting with retarded client who doesn't realise that he is not really in the command chain anymore. Oh well he's high enough up to still cause problems. I hate my job.

oh nooooz I'm left all alone....

Did the functional threshold power test I was supposed to do on Sunday: As hard as I can sustain for an hour. Averaged 260w (not too bad considering I suck) and nearly threw up at the end of it but managed not too. DigiPete & Reks: I hope you feel better.

bike racing in VA or chick'n n' waffles in IL with you guys..... I think I may need to look into tix

Well my take on it is that one needs to celebrate the fact he lasted this long. I mean the guy has an Ariel Atom! Change sucks but it's part of life.

Happy Birthday from one Big Guy to the bigguy

Del Frisco's appears to be close to our hotel (Hilton Garden Inn Times Square). Hmmm.

Good luck man. Journal submission is a shell game at times.

Don't worry Nate I've got your back (for now)

My wife and I will be in NYC 15-17th. Broadway show Friday and brunch at a fancy restaurant on Sat but I look forward to hearing the recs here.
