Torpedo

¡Feliz Cumpleaños! Hoy me tomaré una a tu salud.

Really awesome race despite the unjustified red flags. That kid is going to bring a lot of excitement. I'd love to see a race of him vs Lewis vs Fernando in similar cars.

Great. Once the ear starts draining it would heal by itself, even without oral antibiotics, but some eardrops may be helpful. Let me know your ENT's opinion. Get well.

RIP, Leon

The whole week? It sums up the last 40 years, and probably what it's yet to come.

Definitely. You may put some vaseline on the cotton and kneading it to get a dough-like texture, which will be more effective to protect the ear from water. If you don't get any better in 48h and the ear keeps draining, send me a PM

Since your ear is now perforated, be careful not to get water in it. Hopefully it will close on its own. Get well soon, Ken

Not really a music video, but an interesting music TV show if you like jazz

What a year!

Happy Birthday, Chris!!!

Happy Birthday, Mikey!!!!

The Luxman P-1 isn't exactly 0 Ohm output, but I didn't like the result much. Maybe using a resistor in parallel as you did could improve the results. Too much hassle anyway, I don't see how the T1 could be an improvement over a properly driven HD800.

I've used DVD Extractor to successfully rip LPCM tracks from DVD-V discs, but never from DVD-A discs nor dual discs. It's possible they have some protections. If you can see the tracks it should be possible to get them off the disc. Have you tried foobar? I've read that using the http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdadecoder/ you can rip those too, but since Foobar is Windows only, I've never tried it (nor that I have any DVD-A available either).

Watching more of her videos I found this by her friend

I don't have any tube amp for dynamic cans, so I must give Jacob the benefit of the doubt on this one, it's possible that tubes manage to mask the few things I didn't like on the T1. Possibly output impedance on the amp side has a role on their response.

Nah, Jacob, I don't know if you just listened to them or you made some serious comparisons. I had those here on loan from an acquaintance , fed them with Gilmore Reference, Beta22, Luxman... and with none of them the poor thing stood a chance against the HD600, K701 which are cheaper. Compared to the HD800 or any Stax the difference was huge, they sounded like broken, like comparing Ultrasone to anything else. If you don't do any direct comparison and just "listen to the beautiful music" then it's acceptable, nothing is really awful, but when you A-B them with anything decent, then you realise how poor and limited is the treble and all the nasty resonances the poor thing has in the bass.

The Beyer T1? It stinks, even compared to the K701

If they weren't embarrassing to dozens of chicks that attended high-school when I did, they aren't for you either.

That could get me interested if price were significantly lower than a Mac's.

This is my opinion too. On a very rigid stone/concrete floor you can do what most pleases you, so it's quite likely that decoupling with spikes helps to drain speaker cabinet vibration onto the floor, which will absorb them and take them away from the speakers. On elastic vibrating floors like wooden floorboards, you need to avoid the own floor vibrations (or its resonances from the speakers' vibration) getting into the speakers and messing with the sounds they're producing. Jacob's approach is what I'd use.

Looks like her body is aging better than her voice.

There're RF emissions in that low frequency too, but AFAIK they're used by submarines and other military purposes. Funnily enough some recordings made in France, at some place I can't recall now which is next to a submarine base, show a low frequency imprint for the recording system tuning that carrier and converting it into sound in the mix. IMO it's more likely related to the Android smartphones issue, the exact frequency at which the problem starts seems to be 3958Hz. I quote from that thread:
