Nice, System Audio. I love those little guys.

You are, in fact, the world's coolest Spaniard, so I have no objection.

I'll just assume you mean "two down" in reference to an Irish cock.

Wab: (N) A low-income hispanic, with no adaptation of the main-stream American culture and limited english language vocabulary and pronounciation. Douglas, that is you to a "T".

Shameless. Never have I seen someone beg so blatantly for a custom title

I am honored, but choose to remove myself from contention. Believe it or not, I totally phoned those things in.

I'll just photoshop you into mine, then. No problem.

Simple. Just include your email password/login and we're all set.

So that makes at least three fretless bass players on here. We are going to make one extremely noodly-ass, terrible song when we eventually trade protools files.

I'm in that circle right now. Seems a better place to be than just outside it, to say the least.

Congrats, Blackmore! That looks sharp as all get out.

Stacks.

I went to the Denver Art Museum's free first Saturday

Yeah, that's pretty fair. I just found it too abrasive for the price point. Lots of cheaper gear simply rolls off the top, rather than dealing with it. After hearing the DAC1, I get that. The ECD-1 is nice and smooth, but without the sense that detail is just being scrapped.

I really, really like the top end. Being reasonably young and capable of hearing to about 18khz, I'm somewhat sensitive to grainy treble. Even if there isn't musical information above 15 or so, which I thoroughly believe, there is room for error. I really feel the treble is much more natural on the ECD-1, without losing any detail that I've noticed. Hi hats and hand claps sound excellent, both in timbre and in soundstage. The midrange is what is often praised on this unit, and while I have no complaints it doesn't strike me as being revolutionary. It isn't scooped all to hell, which is nice. Reed instruments have a lot of bite, which is really what I listen for. I didn't dislike the DAC1, I just didn't feel it was an improvement enough over cheaper gear (0404, Oritek, VDA) I had enjoyed, so I sent it along. The ECD-1 is staying, both for its excellent sound and its pleasing look.

It's actually a rolling pin called Mjolnir.

That's reasonable. As an outsider, I didn't see how he included you, but I can see how exclusion would be more important from your perspective. Corrupt is also a pretty big word to be throwing around, and while I stand by my question of "what proof could he present", I also agree that corruption is a serious charge to level.

Seriously, Mike, I never thought ASR was calling you out, he was just really upset about moderation at HF. I'll agree that "sniveling" was inappropriate, even if I don't imagine he intended you when he said it. We all know moderation happens in the way he described -- not being a moderator himself what kind of "proof" would you have him provide? I've seen threads moved and posts deleted, I just don't really care. Your threats ("You really should be careful what you say about others on the internet because one day you will say the wrong thing about the wrong person and it will come back to bite you in the ass") seem a little out of line, considering.

Where you getting these, Jinp? My brief public-tracker search led me down a rabbit hole of unlock codes and other garbage.

Whatever. Let him be a baby. Greater popularity here would only result in more server load, more Westone 3 threads, more dissent and less quality. Head-fi is the front lines for filtering all the folks who just want to: A) be asshats, Find out what one pair of headphones will allow them never to have to think about headphones again, or C) Compare every iteration of every portable amp extant with every IEM. Things are pretty good right now, in large part because Jude has his world the way he wants it.

Even more, the SNR of user-generated content. There's plenty of good stuff, but the junk outweighs it heavily.

Well, HC has no such draconian restriction, which unfortunately just serves to make it more beneficial to post the good stuff on HF.

Only time I've ever been moderated on HF was when I posted a link over to here. That warranted a personal letter from Jude, and he was none too pleased.

Ladies and Gentlemen... Dr. Wood!
