LOL, now you are just being an ass.

I don't HATE the W5000s, it's just not my sound.

and who said I'm hating them? (they just don't get over 3 minutes listening time when I'm around) (i never was able to figure out what exactly those cans excelled in).

what a welcome... he comes here and says hi. we admire his source, his cans... and then tell him to upgrade his amp... nice.

Just because they don't excel in any specific area doesn't mean they can't be competent in multiple ones. I guess I just have trouble with your exaggerated claims.

oh dude, u hatin'. the w5000 mafia bout come rollin.

exaggerated claims

exaggerated claims is what makes HC fun... check out the recent pissing contest between sacd_lover and 909!

and I stand by my claim, (at least until the next time I hear it) it can't do a damn thing right....

kitaoji, if you're around I'd like to hear it.

w5000 mafia: tell me what to listen to, on what gear, and what to listen for. and I promise i'll give it an open mind and a good listen. if it still sucks, i'll go right back to bashing it.

Humanflyz: while you're on this thread... I'm out of LSAT practice books (finished them) and would like some more. Barns and Noble closed while you were gone... know of any other place around town that might have them?

exaggerated claims

Yeah, I thought that was your schtick.

Yeah, I thought that was your schtick.

What, I can't take a page out of the 909 playbook?

All joking aside: just because you don't "get it" doesn't mean it sucks

I found they sounded pretty decent when I pressed the cups against my head hard enough for most of the air to be squished out of the pads. Though this was pretty fatiguing - for my hands & arms, not my ears. So obviously I have no long-term listening impressions for this form of the W5000. I still prefer the L3000 to even the squished-in W5000 sound. Note - I am not a member of the W5000 mafia

you need to listen to them with good music through my ears and listen for greatness.

nah i'm just messing with you, if you don't like them you don't like them. they are hard cans to like.

twisted!

are you taking a course? i suggest you do so. i highly recommend testmasters and if you can take it with Robin Singh.

Yeah, I thought that was your schtick.

yeah, but not today.

What, I can't take a page out of the 909 playbook?

but of course.

Do we have a link to why the Raptor is overpriced? Might need to do the search myself.

surely there is some post around here where k.g. destroys it?

you know the w5000's get pretty good reviews over on head-fi.

Ha, I love that this guys first thread turned into a ray bashing thread in by the end of the first page.

Actually, it seemed like the Raptor-bashing was predestined -- I.E. it was there in the potential energy before this thread even existed, waiting to happen.

Actually, just find a single post by Kevin, and then find that link that shows all his posts -- about half of them are explaining why Ray's amp designs ...erm... "implementations" suck. After all, he doesn't post that much, so you shouldn't have to go back that far.

In this forum, we talk about pornography. And we can type the word "porn" without having it censored by the fucking bad word filters.

i wonder if we should censor "trose."

If the software will let you do word substitution it would just about make my day if trose = asshat.

The software does indeed do word substitution. I propose that asshat extraordinaire be known as palmfucker.

Ahahaha word filter in effect!

Word filters are fine, but we need a cheat sheet!

trose trose trose

testing, trose, trose

Word filters are fine, but we need a cheat sheet!

No way, not knowing is half the fun. On another forum I frequented a few years ago they had the craziest word filters. Like during a Superbowl game something like "first down" would be something completely random.
