  1. I like women, so, is there anything wrong with it

    Thanks mate...When the nature calls there is nothing you can do except artifical refusing.

    Its not only sexual thing, way more, imo. Look, how many people like wine? A lot, isnt? But, how many people can buy a realy good wine, not many, so again, artifical refusing. Accepting something that not really worth or true at all, but who cares.

    Sometimes I have the feeling that we are dying consume species which are living somebody else dream, or would I say nightmare:cool:

    I am not a freak, just trying to be a human...

    Wooohooo, now I get you (I think). Welcome to the acceptance/conformation/live-with-it club!

    Self lying is just one strategy to handle it, but won't work with many intelligent people. Or maybe it works, the difference is that you know the strategy and keep living with it.

    /cheap philosophy mode ON/ As I see it the first crucial part is accepting that they've been lying to us for all our lives, so we're not all equal, we cannot achieve everything we wish, success has nothing to do with money nor prestige, and happiness is no way related to achievement, material things nor success. Then you learn to live with what you can get, to wish what you can achieve and to be happy with the small things of life. When doing so, you notice you're not artificially refusing, but only enjoying what's really worth. /cheap philosophy mode OFF/

    I suppose you're at some point of the midlife crisis. Take your time, normal people overcome it way faster and more easily than rich people who can afford young lovers, convertible cars, plastic surgery, fancy clothes and all sort of true "artificial refusing" goods to delude themselves.

    Why should I, its a man thing. On the other hand she doesnt have to be worry about anything, cos what we made through together, some people will never expiriance and lucky they are...

    I still dont think people really get what I was talking about, but once again NEVER MIND.

    Now you've got me more interested :eek: Perhaps you were emphasizing the "refusing opportunities" side of things more than the "instinct controlling" one?

    Kids are awesome. As long as they go away after I'm tired of them.

    LOL ;D I like other people's kids as far as they're decently educated, at least that they don't use emotional extortion to fulfill their whims. But once they leave or we get back home, we love the quietness hehehe.

    I hate when they are sick, it's pitiful when kids suffer serious diseases. That's a good part of my specialty, most of the children I treat don't use to be seriously sick, they can recover quickly.

    Nope, I just want to talk about it, thats all. Ahh, never mind...:)

    Feel free to keep talking mate, if that helps...

    Being a male of the human species is no big deal regarding procreation instincts. You can't fight feeling them, but you need to learn to control them if you don't want to convert your whole life in a terrible mess.

    I had the hope that things would improve with years, but looks like they get worse :palm: It was nice being an adolescent hahahahaha however I think I'm happier now... gotta think about it :rolleyes:

  9. What did you do today?

    The wire leaves something to be desired I suppose. They feel less brittle than my PX100 wires at least, though they're about the same size.

    I dont know if I would consider my 10jpns to be fully burned in or not, but I haven't noticed much change in tone, or any other characteristics. :)

    Some have reported tightening of the bass, but I find it rather tight already, maybe they just got accustomed to their "bass heaviness", and also smoothing in the treble, but it's not harsh IMO. Probably the best surprise for me has been the quality of the voices. Too early to say though, I haven't listened to "my girls" yet. Promising nonetheless.

    How do you like the 10jpns?

    I'm quite impressed for the tonal balance, a bit bass heavier than neutral, but more than acceptable in the midrange and treble. Overly smooth and pretty natural. For the price I had wished a stronger wire, I find it a bit thin for portables which aren't IEM. We'll see how the shape after some burn-in, but not really wishing they go profound changes, I like them as is.

    Went to work, taught a resident how to make a couple of surgeries, got back home and in the way bought some milk, yogurt and Coke, ate delicious "coca" (kind of pizza without mozzarella and way more stuffed), received the new ESW10 and been listening to them for the most part of the rest of the day, paid the Sonny Rollins gold disc I bought from Deepak, listened to my brother in law's radio show while chatting with him and other station staff, dinned "ensaimada" (a delicious cake stuffed with truffle chocolate cream and threaded sweetmeat), watched a couple of Frasier old episodes with wife, now giving the last round to the forums.

    Busy day huh?

    I'm in.

    I don't think you should match people by country though, shipping a CD from USA to Canada is about 1$ more than shipping into the US, so it won't break the bank. I say that because most people with good music taste here come from the USA. :D

    Trying to probe my thin skin? :P hehehe Sorry to read that, I had chosen a very nice CD to send to my gift-pal :cool: Which by the way, I've been able to get and perhaps, only perhaps, even signed by the artist.

    They seem to be stuck in the prejudiced notion that second and in general even harmonics produce warmth and fuller body on the sound. That's false or in the least not completely true -in any case not the absolute truth I'm afraid-. I read an old paper some time ago (sorry I can't give the reference) presented at the AES showing that no distortion is perceived as better sounding and more natural than ANY kind of distortion, but that if you introduced distortion then it sounded better when being of even order.

    I've found myself that very good tube gear and very good SS one tends to sound very very alike, and that very good digital systems can be very analogue sounding, though I'm not sure that completely indistinguishable from good analogue. The question IMO is more what kind of sound makes you enjoy the most, than trying to set a standard of absolute sound or what should be the right one.

    Modern digital recordings of commercial music sound like crap, probably not for the use of digital gear to master them, but for the huge amount of compression used. On the right digital system some of the first CD releases which weren't compressed nor remastered, sound damn good to me.
