Were I in your situation, I'd return the funds and just try to sell the phones again to anyone else. Unless the guy goes to your place and listens by himself the BHSE does a much better job driving the HE60 than his A10, I don't think he'll be convinced his amp's is at fault.

Really wonderful Frank. Very few pieces of gear become artworks like that

Good luck Grawk

Mose Allison - My Backyard

Congrats Susie and Steve, have a great friendship

Those braces look great, solid and purposeful, if not very comfy. I wish it works and you can do again all those things you've been missing for the pain. You're really smart. Not everyone can handle that quick converting a hard task into a promising goal

Very Happy Birthday dear sir

Then I fourth it

Not very sure what a brace for the ankle is, but the whole thing sucks. Sorry for you Vicki. I concur you don't seem at all having a 30 lbs overweight You need another doctor. Grawk, it'd be much worse if they had determined that you owe those hours to the company, and you'd need to either a) return the wage, or work them for free. Enjoy those hours

I third this suggestion. While I like the HD600 better than the 650, I can admit the 650 are a bit more fun with rock. However none is a fun can for really fun music. The HF2 are among the few Grados I really like, fun with rock and still "decent" with other styles. Haven't tried the AD2000 so far. It's possible they're good candidates too.

really crazy shit

Cool. If you get bored in Frankfurt, you may get a flight to Madrid, it's a 2 hours trip more or less

Whoa, this one is still tougher and still made it in 5: Abaroa: the page had disamibiguation which forced to chose among several, got Gabriel Abaroa > Latin Grammy Awards > France > Blitzkrieg > Adolf Hitler

a sick one definitely

This was a tough one, but still arrived in 5 hits: Modal Verb>False Friend>West Germany>Nazism>Adolf Hitler

Congratulations MPI. More than for participating in the Tchaikovsky contest, for finding such a good teacher who is supporting and encouraging you. I've seen so many times true talent wasted for the envy, lack of intelligence and talent of bad teachers, that knowing there are still good ones, kind of reconciles me with the human kind. I'm afraid I won't be able to watch it on TV, no channel here broadcasts those things, but if it's available online, I will.

No way! Some day I'll be selling it along the rest of the dynamic shit and I want it to be immaculate

Yep, that one looks like mine. Still using the 230-100V step down with it. Once I looked inside and we determined it couldn't be converted for 230V operation, I placed it in the rack and forgot about measuring those primaries. I agree with Birgir, my guess is they are for 100/117 V operation.

Never mind Wayne. At that moment I felt bad but now it's long gone. I like to think I'm not a jerk, but as everything in life, it's debatable I've never listened to music using the DT-48, just test tones and sweeps. Those phones are a reference for psychoacoustic studies in medicine. I happened to work at a place that had them about 18 years ago (more or less). I found them very uncomfortable and didn't feel tempted to try them with the Discman I had by those days. When I read about people using them for music... To each one his/her own I guess

They're launching anniversary headphones too. Nothing to be excited if they're using the same D5000/D7000 Fostex drivers.

Looks cool, kinda like it, but for the champagne metal parts. Or is it the light?

Maybe you wouldn't recall, but once you called me a jerk at HF for saying that some guy there, raving madly about the DT-48, then selling them, was a disgusting thing to do hahahaha. I think you purchased those DT-48, now I know your opinion

Thanks for the impressions, Al. I'll have to give it a listen then. Sketches of Spain, nice choice. As things are going by over here that album should be renamed to "bits and pieces of Spain" Reks, I love that Horace Silver too, one of my all time favorite albums. We both lost our fathers being very young, so it must have some deep meaning or something. Now listening to Katy Perry - Teenage Dream. A foreseeable sequel to her first one. I wonder if this girl would be able to sing a shit without the vocoder/auto-tune on. Then this rather nice album: Alicia Keys - Unplugged

I like her first album, not that much the second, though it's not bad. Have yet to listen the new one. I hope Al tells us something.
