There are 3 outside compartments that are easily accessible. The one on the flap, and the two small ones on the side/front (and the pocket in back). Those small pockets towards the side aren't good for good but the side pockets are great for small items like small phone (like an iPhone), iems, etc. The front pocket good is good for other things (it holds more than it looks like it will hold in the pictures). That said, if you wanted to get something bigger out, you would have to pick up the flap. It fits under the seat fine (of course, I'm only 5'2" so you can't really trust me about leg room).

What about the ID? It is awesome and fits the MBP 15" really well. It holds a bit more than the Zephry and is slightly lighter. You do have to lift up the flap to get the laptop out (and I use a skin with the laptop for padding) but I view the flap as extra rain protection. Also, it has a water bottle holder which for me is a must (although it doesn't look as professional because of it). The Cadet does have rail loops though which makes it more like the Checkpoint Flyer. I think Dinny has the Cadet. It doesn't seem to hold that much though.

Hmm, I'm not sure how I feel about this...

Thanks for the post. Do you have a picture where the cables are attached to gold springs on the HD580. For example, do the cables go straight down across in this picture? Also, I assume you can solder the wire to the little gold piece attached to the spring (I haven't done any test with the mm yet). I am assuming that it would be a PITA to chop off the cable already attached to the KSC75 and solder it to the HD580 driver pieces.

I'll try out episode 2 but if Michael continues to be as pathetic as he was in episode 1, I may not be able to continue.

I started watching Season 4 (the Netflix season) of Arrested Development and was sorely dissapointed after the greatness of Seasons 1-3. Does it get any better after episode 1? That episode was quite difficult to watch.

Just realized that my kicker had a bye this week. Luckily the Carolina kicker was still available for tomorrow's game.

Happy Birthday Alex!

Well, if you like to buy and sell stuff instead of listening then universals will clearly be superior. Seriously though, I have talked to some people who are afraid to buy customs because (1) they are afraid that they won't like them or will have buyer's remorse or (2) will want to upgrade and won't be able to sell their old pair for $$$ towards the new pair. This will give them a chance to buy high end iems without those worries. Also, going to and finding a good audiologist can be a pain depending where you live. I suppose it is probably easier nowadays. Then there is the fun of sending back your customs when they don't quite fit perfectly... (wish I would have done that with mine).

I think the SRM-323s should be good with any of the Lambdas like the 307 (I've never heard it though). I've thought of getting one for the office at times. It would probably have trouble with something like the SR-007.

Cheers guys and Vicki! Wish I were there!!!

Haha. Glad you are getting some answers Grahame. Also, hope it gets better on its own (with physio).

Electrostatics are really good. What headphones are you going to be using?

That looks fantastic! I have been wanting to grill some lamb lately.

Cool, I guess I can't do too much damage...

These are housed in a HD580 so the weight won't be such a problem. They won't be used as a portable or I would just stick with the stock cable. Thanks Nate! Let me know how much I owe you if you find some. I assume this will make it more flexible and lighter? I do have an extra HD580 cable... perhaps this would be easier than starting from scratch. Would one be easier than the other?

For fun and experience (and because the KSC75 cable is too short), I would like to recable the KSC75 in my Frankenstein HD580/KSC75. I've seen Mogami and Canare minis recommended. I was looking at Mogami W2799 and W2893 since people claim Mogami is more flexible than Canare. Is one of these better than the other for flexibility? Anything else I should consider.

Haven't seen any bb around lately and have been sprayed twice so probably but you probably should wait a few more weeks to be sure.

By the way, I can vouch for Joel - he's been a friend of mine (originally from HF) for many years. Joel, listen to Ari, he knows what he is talking about. Also, don't do/say anything too stupid here - a warning. Also, when you joined there may not have been a welcome message, so I might as well tell you to read this in case you haven't already.

Mmm Fred.

Mmmm bacon.

Hmm, I guess I'll just have to decide if they are lying about the CE certification or not I guess. The thing that worries me is that Emotiva buys these from a Chinese company and rebrands them (adding a warranty and supposedly a CE certification). I just don't trust that the random Chinese company would do something that costs more. Edit: Here is what the president of Emotiva said "QMS is the local market brand name of their manufacturing partner in China. Emotiva developed a version of this monitor product for their exclusive use under the Emotiva Pro brand. It was a brand new project for QMS, and they had already opened some of the tooling. Emotiva loved the look, so they purchased rights to use it, and they have exclusivity for the USA. Also, please note that the Emotiva units are voiced quite a bit differently and subject to a completely different quality standard than the locally produced versions, as Emotiva's QC standards are very high. Also, the prices shown for QMS are for local market China sale. A consumer trying to buy these in China to import them to the USA while paying duties, confirming that the China made variant is RoHS compliant and will even be allowed to enter the USA, would be cost prohibitive and very difficult. Then, what does the consumer do if it breaks? Send it back to China to some trading company? What they do with variants of this product in their local China market is out of Emotiva's control. Remember, Emotiva buys them by the thousands, literally! Emotiva certifies them for safety compliance, ships them to the USA, pays freight, duty, and customs fees. Emotiva does incoming quality testing, etc. They then ship them to you FREE with a 30 day in home trial, and back it with a 5 years parts and labor warranty. This is something you can't get by buying a variant from China." So it seems like Emotiva might have designed these after all.
