I have probably about the same chance of pulling this off successfully as Vicki. Would one of those nifty glasses/nose/mustache disguises be sufficient?

Are you thinking of the MB Quart QP805? I have one on the way, but it was a blind purchase so I cant speak to the sound yet. T40v1 is the way I would go right now if I needed closed and circumaural, unless I could afford something like a SR-4070.

Happy Birthday Ari!

Got a call from a Detective Holt, MoCo background investigation starts now. Installed a scanner, did some research about museum style directional speakers for possible installation in the library gallery. Found that said speakers seem to start in the $1k range, each.

Friends of your friends, I think. Probability goes up with increased number of your friends who "know" that person.

Have a great one Matt!

Not strictly today, but eh, close enough. Normal day at work yesterday, got in at 10, scheduled to be on to 6, but had to leave early for a group meeting for the final philosophy debate at 5. Well, only 3 of the 5 of us were planning on making it, and one of those no showed. Neither myself or the other guy had anything at the moment, so we decided to call it until Monday. At that time, I got a call from a friend asking if I wanted to go to the O's game. Went, and watched the O's suck. Don't think they ever got past 2nd base. After that, we went to a club, had a bit too much to drink, and I ended up in some strange German woman's house for a few hours. Got a ride back to campus at about 4:30 (where I left my car), decided it would be a good idea to go for a couple mile run, then went back to my car and slept for a few hours, before finally heading home.

Did a couple today myself. Good bit more coming up over the summer, as we are phasing out all of the Optiplex 620s and replacing with 760s. Also had classes.

Only thing I really want to spend much time with is a decent O2 rig. I will probably end up listening to a good bit more than that, but nothing specific.

I bid too, though thought about doing the BIN. Would have certainly bought them if I could get away with open headphones at work, but alas, I cant afford the leakage. Google translate said replaced pads and vibration plate makers, but Fungi translated it for me directly as pads and drivers. I bet there is some great stuff that Stax has just thrown out.

Would I be correct in assuming the classics and signatures sound similar, but the basics sound a good bit different than either? I almost went for that Y20000 Lambda Nova basic last night, though I assumed it had SR202 drivers inside, as I am told the auction text stated that the drivers and pads were replaced in the past year.

Smart man. How is shipping from there? The two times I have used it, the costs were quite high, but I seem to remember my items being fairly oddly shaped. They certainly have some cool stuff.

Moar better sounding is good, but not if it is too uncomfortable to wear for an extended period of time. The Yammy HP-1 is the only supra that I have had good luck with in that regards. Just wondering, can someone explain the differences between the Lambda Nova Sig, Classic, and basic, and same question for the numeric Lambdas (SR404-202). Also, what the heck is a Lambda Spirit?

Just picked mine up yesterday too. Two weeks of classes left, then finals week, then I walk.

I actually wanted them as Alphas, in the stock frame. Might have played with damping, but no SR-X shells for me. I just hate supraural, especially if there is any good alternative. However, someone just passed me at Y21000, which was already pushing it a bit. I like my normal bias Lambda about as much as anything. Better than my Pro bias, and similar to my SR404 ().

Who you calling insane?

Do they make a DAC patch? We really need to get you on the one step program.

Wow, nice deal. Hope you got it.

MB QUART QP 805 Ruggedised Headphones on eBay, also, Headphones, DJ Equipment, Consumer Electronics (end time 15-May-09 14:12:49 BST) I have a pair on the way, though had to go through a UK 'caser to get them, as the seller never responded to my queries regarding shipping to the US. Still, seems to be a pretty decent deal.

Purdy, but still plenty of exciting exposed stuff on the bottom for a little one to lick. Good thing that amp weights more than Lily.

Diaphragm, damping, same thing. It is freaking annoying sometimes, but I havnt gotten around to trying to do anything about it yet.

I sorta figured, but never really knew for sure. Probably worse on the pair I have because there is no foam over the dustcover. Its really very loose, though I guess it needs to be at least to an extent so that it doesnt act as a second diaphragm. Aspects of these headphones are amazing, but other stuff just doesnt seem to be as well thought out.

Crinkly type sound? I get that too, or when I open my mouth while wearing them. All of my Lambda series can be made to do it, but it takes much more work. You basically have to be trying on those, it seems.

That pretty much describes it for me.

Dang, and I thought it was pretty crazy that I could fly all the way across the country and back for only $250.
