There's an important word in that quote that you missed: "friends".

I can kinda buy the LCD2 bit, but the DT250 (Beyer?!?) comment is pretty out there.

I couldn't make it, either, but hopefully, we can all kick it at the next meet.

Dude, are you the reincarnation of KBI?

Happy birfday man. Now's the perfect time to get a lady to pay for Jean Georges. =)

A belated happy bday to you!

Paying that much for casework in a USB transport, you kinda would have to get a custom computer case to match. I can't think of any off-the-shelf towers that are blingy enough. I like the silver Lian Lis, but even those would not be shiny enough to convey your general disregard for money. Maybe just stick a few bottles of Cristal on top?

$1300 for weak bass seems like a poor value to me, but maybe these headphones aren't as easy to drive as claimed. Alternatively, maybe that bass will come out with a decent source, but who knows? Beyer has been pretty inconsistent with the bass quantity on their phones. But besides the purported lack of bass, the form factor itself is pretty terrible for a "portable". So it's a faily fail in my book.

Am I trippin, or are the Woo OTLs like the unwanted bastard children of the lineup? Like SR125s or RS2s? Well, whatever... fuck OP's mother.

Heh $1300 headphones from bass-boosted iPod/soundcard... that's a sensible allocation of resources.

Forum software says y'all are pretty close: 7.01 to 6.68 posts per day.

So what's a Liquid Gold?

Comma/period usage is seriously a lost art. Internet punctuation makes me so sad sometimes.

A double-digit-piece set is kinda out of the question, as I already own a few usable pieces, and I really don't have space for much more =(. The Le Creuset looks decent enough, but nothing on Amazon is really jumping out at me. All the "sale" items are on sale for the same price at several other online retailers. I think I'll check out a b&m or 2 before making a decision. Thanks!

So I'm in the market for a decent cheapish pot type thing. I only want to buy 1 all-purpose item, so I'm thinking a stainless pasta set should be cool for pasta and soups. I braise a fair bit as well, and that's got me considering enameled Dutch ovens. However, I still need something for pasta, and intuition tells me Dutch ovens wouldn't be perfect for pasta. Sooo would I rather use a stainless stock pot to braise or a cast iron oven to boil pasta? No idea... Actually, I don't even know if enameled is considered better than bare cast iron; seasoning sounds like a pan in the bum, though. I'm a lazy cook for sure =D. Any good cookware forums out there for me to peruse? I managed to find the Chowhound cookware section and eGullet, but I have no idea how knowledgeable those guys are.

Reading this stuff makes me cringe a bit, because now I'm wondering if these little write-ups make the rest of us look like idiots to those outside the hobby.

I have no idea what goes into pre-built computers =). I assume anything marketed to gamers has pretty nice cooling bits. I put my computer together initially using the cooler that came in the box with my chip. It's really bad.

So I recently bought an aftermarket CPU cooler after a few yrs of using the shitty thing that came with my processor. Good lord, putting the cooler into an already built computer was a huge pain in the booty hole. I had to take everything off the motherboard so I could remove the entire thing and mount a bracket onto the back. Lesson learned: have the nice CPU cooler/fan ready before building the computer.

If I were to break it down, I'd say it was a decent but lackluster post overall. No mention of amp/source hurts a bit, as most kids have no idea what a decent source is. Also: posting HD800 impressions in 2011? Yawn. But yazz flute is an interesting enough name to make up for some of that. Better "yazz" than "skin", I say.

Dude, we're not beefing with them because of some kind of audiophile arrogance. Nobody knows or cares what the phones in there sound like. They could be stuffed with JH13s, but they'd still be stupid and ugly.

Anything that lets me get my poke-n-stroke on, amirite?

The peek through the mesh totally reminds me of the Omega. So do your descriptions of tone and impact. Very very cool.

I consider myself to be a believer, and it seems that computer transports improve by leaps and bounds up to maybe $300-ish, which is the price of a used pro sound card or Squeezebox. I definitely think i heard a significant difference between my current sound card and previous ghetto setup of running straight from my motherboard. I think one can comfortably top out at the totl Lynx or possibly Transporter at around $1k and call it a day forever. I guess those super stacker players from like dCS/MSB/Spectral/whomever are supposed to be slightly better, but that is sooooo much more money. I can think of like infinity things I'd want before getting one of those transports.

Too... many... puns... gah

Nobody's gonna clown on little dot or whatever his source may be?
