Or send to me and I'll get you graphs I can do waterfall etc...

Very Cool! Any chance of borrowing one or your two once you have both?

The fact the guy's website is sponsored (owned?) by microsoft makes me wonder all the more. Mach es machbar - mit Microsoft Office Project 2007 Looks like some sweet viral advertising to engineers. Has the guy doing tests for his coefficient of friction and a wind anemometer to make sure the wind speed was zero at the ramp and a test dummy lying around (without wetsuit though). The biggest thing that makes me want to call shenanigans is the fact that he curls up into a ball in the video just before entering a 24-36" pool of water on what appears to be a wooden stand he should break some bones because his downward velocity should be significant (at least equal to his upward velocity at the the tip of the ramp unless the apogee is very near where he lands, but it doesn't look like it) I dunno though maybe he just has brass balls and I watched some pretty crazy crap on the X-Games.

Something about that just screams bullshit. At the same time it's well done bullshit.

Without the DEQ I prefer them to the HD650s yes. With the DEQ that no longer holds. SA5k were my favorite above the D5000s then I switched to Qualias. Though after correction I could make them all sound the same so I kept the 650's because they were the cheapest and listen to the HD800s uncorrected and corrected most of the time. For the record too I sold my KGSS, Omega 2 mk1 for the same reason. Note though that the beta22 comparison was done mostly with HD650s because they were supposed to be the most demanding to power of the phones I owned at the time.

Yup

Owned

Happy birthday to you both!

Wasn't I clear that I was selling you a PICTURE of them..... Just kidding. I look forward to hearing whatever amp you work up for them.

Oh I know....

Got my teeth cleaned by the dentist

I am. I'm not trying to hear them Power meter FTW.

Not until I hear them and luckily I haven't heard them yet.

I was thinking the same thing.... I will resist, I will resist....

Sorry to hear about the lack of improvement. Hope the trip to the doc goes ok and it's nothing permanent or too serious.

Get better Al. I hope you're feeling better already.

Interesting observation justin. ***** WARNING: Wild conjecture ******** Is it really that fewer are moving up (i.e. are your salee numbers (not % of revenue) for home stuff down) or that more people are just buying portable rigs and being "done"? I would guess the number of people spending on home rigs is about the same or growing but there have been a lot of people that have entered the market that are only interested in portable so the market share for home stuff is down a lot but the number of units sold is not necessarily down. Of course this is all a wild ass guess and I don't have anything to back it up.

^ you make my KGSS and O2 sad when you survive the impulse to buy them but then buy other stuff.

The casework. After visiting their site the urge passed entirely

I bought a 8ft fence to hide the giant wall in my back yard. Looks nice. Will look nicer once we have some hanging baskets on it. This landscaping has spiraled a bit out of control but it should finish up this week. Also bought some GFI outlets for my out of code kitchen, need 2 more. Also arranged to have my Zipp 404 wheels on my bike replaced with the "Clydesdale" version of the same wheel. This is beefed up for giant fatties like me. May not cost me anything because it is an exchange, here's hoping. Last thing I need to do is snap a pair of $2300 carbon fiber wheels. Oh and drugs to hopfully tame some inflammation in my inner ear and get rid of my tinnitus. On the plus side my hearing test came back "normal" though there was some slight fall off in the highs.

I guess I'm not entirely "over audio". That one made me drool.....

congrats al!

^ good point. My impressions are based on HD650s and Denon D5000s mostly. I also had balanced Qualias and SA5000s but did no real balanced vs unbalanced on those.
