Torpedo

I was thinking of the Crusades, and all the wars caused for religious masked reasons. If you want a war for gold, diamonds or oil, call it for its name, but leave religion apart. Why can't all behave like Buddhists or Taoists. Still many things to learn from Orient

X2 This World would be a much better place if all the religion fanatics around it kept it for themselves.

I'm glad to see this thread open again. For a moment I was thinking I had joined the wrong forum. Not that I'm interested in politics and politicians, paraphrasing the Bible IMO it's easier to make a camel go throughout the needle's eye than finding a honest politician, but I'm glad of being part of a community where people are respectful with others' opinions and any topic making some sense can be discussed.

In an attack of flavor-of-the-monthity I've just paid an order of a pair of ATH ESW10 from KuboTen. I hope they're as good as Vicki said With them, some spare earpads for R10 and CD3000 before they get discontinued, and the carry bag for the woodies.

No worries Yashicaman, I still have to write something intelligent in this site and they haven't banned me so far Maybe because they appreciate my efforts for not being a douche bag, which is my nature Freedom here is not about the kind of language you use, but about the content of your posts. They may be inane, but should have a minimum of sarcasm, cynicism or double meaning to pass as smart Just kidding. Relax, read and think a bit before writing

I have serious doubts to try the highest Staxes at their second hand prices, how this guy thinks people can get interested for DIYer level electrostats at that price? I'm sure he'll get many orders anyway. It just will show how a well fueled audio machinery works :palm::palm:

LOL. I've just learned the difference between pass out and pass away. Forums are good to learn English

Oh, I'll try it on my next insomnia night, thanks for the heads up

I didn't care to read a single post of that thread at HF, so go figure

Thanks for all the comments Vicki, I think I get the picture quite well. I could live with the ESW10 for the purpose I'd want them. Now the big question, wouldn't I be better served with other portable cans at that price? Still the price thing hanging around

Are they really that good, Vicki? Somewhat we seem to share some taste, judgment and gear, so I take your opinions with interest nonetheless. I could use some portable "big" cans which provide some isolation, but not as much as IEMs, to use them on my on-call duties. I need to be able to hear the pager when it beeps, and also that the DAP can drive them without an amp. Of course good sound quality is important, otherwise I would be looking at some mid-range Grados or eventually the Portapros or PX-100. Are the ESW10 what I'm looking for? These things aren't cheap

Take care, have a nice trip back home.

Nothing to really show off

LOL don't you like how it feels a silk smooth scrotum?

I wish I were able to shave using my nails like Hancock, but in just one minute. I find shaving a waste of time. Every morning the same ritual taking me time from sleeping

Unfortunately not. Some tried to look like Olivia Newton John in Grease. Others just dressed jeans and shirts

Not exactly in schoolgirl outfit, but quite sexy anyways

Done everything and now working perfectly . Thanks a lot mate, I don't have a wide screen, still using my 3:4 21" CRT Philips monitor, so when they post big pics, those ads became very annoying to see the whole post.

Thanks Deepak. I found the code, but I don't have the slightest idea on what to do with it I added it after the URL replacing the * and as expected, it didn't work at all. I suppose I should get into HF and pasting the code somewhere into Tools or properties, but my ignorance about html and browsers doesn't help much.

Just to make sure, I've gone there now and definitely the Qables view won't work for me either on Firefox nor on IE7. It automatically leaves me on the default view with the damn left column ads Maybe it's just working for the Supremus or any other requirement should be met that I miss. I remember that by May or June the contributors could get rid of the left column ads. Then, by July or maybe August, the lower window with several sponsors appeared, and choosing among two of them, you could get rid of the ads. That lasted only a month or so, and you didn't need to be contributor to enjoy the feature. For some weeks there wasn't any chance to get alternate "clean" views until the Qables thing which appeared about 10 or 15 days ago. I've been trying hard to make it work, but it won't for me. Suggestions??? hehehehe

About a couple of months ago they had more "sponsored views" and you didn't need to be a contributor to have the ads removed. Now the Quables thing doesn't remove the left column ads for me. I'm not a contributor...

Glad to see it wasn't my handicapped English avoiding me to understand the fun in it.

LOL Those HP-2 are kind of a love-hate thing. They don't impress, in fact don't seem to do anything specially right, nor to make music wonderfully interesting, but have that sort of balance that once you have experienced it, you may miss it sometimes. I don't think I'll be selling my pair unless I needed the money badly, despite their not getting much play lately. I've purchased today a pair of Timberland shoes Very comfy, I have to choose my shoes very carefully for having my left Achilles tendon operated. The skin over it is very delicate and thin. These seem to fit the bill.

Happy B-Day Have a helluva fun

Good luck Vicki, I hope they deliver them today. If you didn't receive the receipt to pick them up at the Post Office, they'll most likely try it again.
