  1. I alternate between starfish and yearner, but start off sleeping like a starfish and wake up in one of the two positions. So far I haven't hurt anything, knock on wood. No wheelbarrow here...
  2. Today my Comcast speedtest results via Wifi is 11.2 mbps, with 3G it is 405 kbps. It's usually about 7 mbps vs 250 kbps. Yes, I did get the 3G tablet (1st in line at the store) but I pre-sold my 32gb WiFi model on Friday for $550 to pay for it.
  3. It's "App Store Expense Monitor" from Wet Fish Software http://wetfish.de I'm at $441.63 Edit - I think that is off a bit because it seems like some apps that I bought on sale are reflecting full or current price. I might still have spent under $400 but don't know for sure.
  4. I've wanted a GFA-555 for a long time, ever since I had to sell my 250 watt heath kit ages ago. Too bad I'm not in a position to buy one these days. . But I think it's great you can loan him one. I'd like to know what mike thinks about it.
  5. I have an app on my computer which will look at all my apps in iTunes and tell me what i've spent. Last I checked it was over $300. I can give you the program name when I get home and check, or a search might turn up something sooner. You might not want to know the results.
  6. Or think of the "tucked in flap" as keeping the iPad from sliding out of the case by accident, even though it fits so tightly that it takes at least a minute to remove it from the case.
  7. I'm using EZ 4 Calculator and it seems to do everything my kids need for school when they borrow my iPad to use it (lazy kids who can't dig out their calc from their backpack). This is a snapshot but reduced in size to fit the forum better.
  8. That's too bad. I was under the impression that iPad could do HD video, and therefore I thought maybe hi-res music would also work (like with Apple TV). I never got a round tuit, so thanks for trying it out.
  9. Scott Adams Blog: That Lost 4G Phone 04/26/2010
  10. Cool. I have a Jan 2009 unibody 15" Macbook Pro, and I would like to do the same upgrade from my 250gb to a 500gb. If yours uses the same HD, can you please tell me what model number drive you got, from where and est price, and where you got the instructions? I have to keep removing music and movies to make room for new stuff, shuttling it off to an external drive as backup.
  11. It seems there would have to be some kind of software switch to activate or use a USB DAC, and I don't think there's an app for that.
  12. Another Mac user sent me the link, and it did look legit and shows moving planes in the air with airports and weather and ash cloud.
  13. Dinan bought my SR-404LE around Halloween while Elusivedisc was sold out. He kept his order for a spare pair, but sold one of the pairs a while back. I don't think he had three pairs, but I could be wrong. I listened to them on his modded SRM-717, but the SR-007 and HE-60 were still better. His 717 did sound really good.
  14. That maintains the suckage factor nicely then.
  15. This is what I should post in response - "yeah, the CD3000 mids reminded me a lot of the nasal-honky mids of the W5000 and W11R, which are not recessed and take some time to get used to." Then I should stop there. I had a much longer post but I chickened out about posting more. Sorry, but I guess the training is working...
  16. I guess it's a good thing that I don't think the mids are recessed on the R10, L3000, HD800, K1000, HE-5, HD600, HD650, K702, Edition 9, ATH-A900, W5000, W11R, ESW10JPN, RS-1, HF-2, RS-2, MS-1, SR-60, O2 Mk2, HE60, Jade, SR-003, ESP-950, Gamma Pro (stock or woodied), SR-5NB, SR-Lambda, and more. I do feel there are some recessed mids in the HF-1 (bowls), D2000-7000, Proline 2500, Darth Beyer V3, SR-Lambda pro, and UE11Pro. I think the O2 Mk1 can have recessed mids depending on the amp, and I heard mildly recessed on the GES and BHSE, but they sounded more forward on WES and ZDT/SRD-7 Pro. I spent 20 minutes changing and deleting and retyping my SRH840/D7000 post, because on one hand you guys have taught me it's not a good idea to post here, and on the other hand I just wanted to be help out. Go figure. I posted similar thoughts a year ago about my comparison.
  17. I've been thinking about it, and I suppose the flat design is better for typing when it's laying on the desk, and the easy access to battery could make it possible to carry extra batteries. It looks like the battery is removable/replaceable once the bottom of the case is off.
  18. The Shure SRH840 that I tried at CanJam had better frequency balance than a stock D2000, and they don't have the recessed mids of the D2000. So, if you only need something to hold you off till the Thunderpants are done, I would pick the Shure. I will add that the stock D7000 are a little better than the D2000/D5000, but they still have the recessed mids and the family resemblence in sound is still there. I've heard modded D2000 and modded D5000, and the modded D7000 are by far a better headphone than the others. I would not keep a stock D7000 for the long term, but the modded ones are a different story. They were not as good as the R10 in a side by side comparison last summer, but they were not embarrassed by the R10 either. The R10 had richer fuller more vibrant mids, and stronger bass. While the R10 bass also seemed a little boomy sometimes, I still preferred the R10.

  20. I have to say I don't like the new look and much prefer the 3G/GS over the 2G iPhone or the lost 4G prototype. I especially like the way the current ones feel in the hand.
  21. The previous times I thought the HD650 were too dark vs my HD600, which I thought were more neutral. But I remember listening to Bluto's HD650 on his ZD and they sounded much better than with my amps. I wonder how the HD650 would sound with the ZDT/PWD combo. Maybe someday I'll try that.
  22. Well, I went for the PS Audio Perfectwave DAC. There are many others that I will let people recommend here.
  23. Making me wonder if I should try the HD650 for the 3rd time...
  24. Spritzer, are you still getting a BHSE?
