  1. Nope, it does make a difference like the Sigmas. From Tyll's review: "With normal speaker listening, the wavefront is hitting the side of your head and ears at an angle. To mimic this geometry, Sennheiser mounts the HD 800 drivers slightly forward of your ears, and slightly angled back towards them. The larger diameter and angled geometry of the HD 800 driver produces a wavefront that arrives at the ears in a more natural way than with traditional headphones and allows more of the normal reflections at the outer ear to occur, which allows the brain to understand and localize the sound it's hearing significantly better. The result is significantly improved imaging." So true! I was the one who screwed up because I took the pic from the wrong side!
  2. Are those orange half glasses part of the cans?
  3. I loved her first records and saw her live at least once or twice, and really had a hard time understanding this mess. I listened to the whole fucking recording from Yoshi's and her apology is such horse shit. Lying bigoted cunt.
  4. Low, The Invisible Way (produced by Jeff Tweedy)
  5. When JP and I went to CES for the HD800 release, I had a great pic of him blissing out with the cans on backwards. I promised not to post it but that was more understandable because they were brand new and unknown to anybody. And besides, JP didn't wear them over his hair.

    Thanks all! Working today, but sushi dinner and chocolate cake with my family later tonight will be fun. I've got to think about the right beer/cocktail accompaniments for those diverse food items... Cheers!
  7. Congrat on your find, and best of luck with the BH. Truly a wonderful amplifier.
  8. Wow, thanks for the great response and all the information. Of course, I sat down the headphones for awhile with everything on and now I do not hear the sound. By both sets of tubes I meant the input and EL34 and I just switched them from left to right. Does this amp self-bias? Maybe switching them did something. I don't know jack.
  9. Ugh. I moved my DIY T2 from Mayberry back to SF without incident but was listening tonight and there is a persistent static crackle in the left channel. Same on two headphones and same after switching both sets of tubes from left to right in sequence. Any suggestions?
  10. Anybody going to go for the first handmade watch from Detroit named after shoe polish?
  11. I just noticed that Colin is dancing in the Google doodle for St. Patrick's Day!
  12. I was joking about the Argentine pope, the Falklands and such, so I made Argentina cocktails and then grilled some lamb chops and asparagus. Sacrilicious.
  13. Oops. Cast on my right hand.
  14. Lack of caffeine even has you mixing up Mikey and Steve! That must have sucked Dan. I hope the back is better for your gig, Lain.
  15. Sorry to hear that Mike. Feel better soon!
  16. Mmm, real Reuben goodness.
  17. Don't worry Vicki, Fitz missed it too!

  19. Glad you noticed this time, Steve. It was just two feet from you the last time you were in Mayberry.
  20. Right, like we're supposed to believe you have never seen -- or used -- one of these, Steve?!
  21. Mmm, bread cheese.
