Happy Birthday, have a great one!!

x2 Great build Horio, congratulations!!!!

Dinny, I didn't need it either, but succumbed to temptation as you may remember They're nice, but having Stax stuff, kind of redundant on the long haul. I'd go for the LCD-3

Not exactly. On hyperacusis there's no hearing loss at any frequency (or there shouldn't be to be considered as true hyperacusis), while for recruitment phenomenon to happen there must be hairy cells loss, thus hearing loss at some frequencies, usually above 4-8KHz. It's quite common having a notch loss around 4Hz when hearing loss is due to excessive noise exposure, so recruitment can be very selective.

Nate, I'll be very thankful if you could confirm that the D7000 camera has the overexposing tendency which is said on all reviews I've read, or maybe that's been fixed --maybe firmware update-- on latest units. Besides, congratulations for that great deal

Not really. When you lose hairy cells at some areas in your cochlea, recruitment appears. This phenomenon consists of an augmented perception, distorted and even painful of the frequencies you're hearing worse, because adjacent hairy cells to the ones lost, get stimulated. So if you don't hear well above 8KHz, sounds at that frequency and above may produce a disagreeable perception once the cells specialized on other frequencies get "recruited" and produce a perception which isn't like the normal sound. So some people claiming they have a tiny ear for treble, they may be developing recruitment for a hearing loss on high frequencies. This is typical of people who can keep a normal conversation on silent environments, but once there's too much noise around, they won't understand their interlocutor.

If you can take ibuprofen and naproxen which are NSAIDs without issues, there's a lot of hope you can take many of them. Tylenol is a different type of substance, and mostly analgesic but not anti-inflammatory. Pretty safe for most people. I think it's important being tested when any pharmacologic allergy happens, specially if antibiotics and NSAIDs are involved. The allergic reaction usually is more severe if you use a large dose, but when real allergy (and no just intolerance) appears, even the slightest dose will elicit a response. If you're in doubt you may allergic to some medicin try another alternative, and if there's no other one, then try a small dose like 1/4 of a tablet or less. Sometimes just licking a tablet or putting a few grains from a pill on your lip will suffice to see if you're allergic.

Cool!!! I have no idea what they've been removing, but looks good If you're allergic to Salsalate is quite possible you're to Aspirin and many other related drugs, including Indometacin and other NSAID. However getting yourself checked with allergic tests would be great, so you'd know for sure. There are many circumstances in life that knowing what NSAID you can use is very important, for the other only alternative is taking steroids, which is not always that desirable. I'm glad you're doing well. Take care of yourself

Have a great one

Great news Shelly, I'm glad everything went well. Take the meds, it's easier not letting pain to start to hurt than controlling it once begins and is high.

I've e-mailed an invoice and a filled form to have those 009 I purchased a few pages ago clearing customs. Delivery is closer

Best wishes, Shelly, get well quickly and without pain

Congratulations!!!!! I'm very glad for you

Happy Birthday amigo

Looks like the youngest, for being immature, have ear infections, the elder, for not being getting any younger, have arthritis So sorry guys, take care. Regarding the bionic hand, maybe Al can get it with a bionic detachable vagina for masturbation purposes. Just sayin'

SACD or the new BluerayDisc release, Kevin?

Dinny, it's possible we could see clearer differences (if they exist) on top harmonics (let's say from 18 to 22KHz) if you can - Adjust spectral analysis on Audacity at 1024 points (window size), increase dynamic range up to 120dB and use Blackmann-Harris window instead of hanning. - Then take a 2 seconds fragment rich on high frequency harmonics and zoom the analysis on it on both files. If they look the same, in any case we could see if the high Freq. energy on the HDT has some harmonic structure or is mainly noise.

Happy birthday, Chris. The best circumstances allow

Happiest birthday Mr Scotch, have a great "tasting"... well, whatever

I would have mentioned it. Just to scare them a bit more

And then Perfectest for the mkIV

Manufacturers should avoid using the word perfect in their products, unless they plan to discontinue them, or closing the factory

Best wishes, Scott. Hopefully your brother shows up soon.

Wow, that's serious shit, Shelly. Congratulations

"Reference" should mean something and provide some objective baseline. Your speakers don't become magically reference just for they fit your room and taste.
