Do any of you guys know of a decent place to get a watch CLA'd? I would like to put my Fortis back into daily wear, but it looses time like a Rolex. Like minutes/day - when new it was 4secfast/day

The drivers are glued together like newer Grado drivers. If you have undone all of the screws a turn or so you may need to push the drivers out from the back. I would not advocate it in any case unless something is BEHIND the drivers. For gunk IN the drivers - between the ear-side of the driver and where the mesh should be, I'm not sure that there is a fix.

On their heads. What kind of sicko wears them elsewhere?

At a headphone event that shall remain nameless the logistics of getting strippers to wear HD650 (no cables) were discussed at great length.

Thanks! Can you tell me where you think its under-rated? I think a different perspective or a push in the right direction will help.

So I have started a personal quest to re-read or in many cases read for the first time a whole bunch of high school or other classic books. Someone on a dating site asked me for a list of what I have read recently and the email kind of spiraled into a mini-book report of each... Probably TMI, so I'm going to cut that back for her, and share with yall. Feel free to tell me if I'm totally off base on any of these: I am currently reading catch-22 which is AWESOME. I ran out of books during the power outage and this one came off the shelf. Power and internet are back on, and my copy is big and hardcover so I dont take it to the city (where I read on the subway) so I will probably be reading this for a while... The Watchmen - Saw the movie version a long time ago, both are VERY VERY good. I had a hard time following the book in places - I probably missed a key detail somewhere, but still liked it a lot. The Catcher in the Rye - Sucky waste of a week's free time. Maybe I just don't get it which makes me hate it even more. I am only happy to have done it so I don't have to do it again. Maybe its just hard to follow the writing style of the next two on the list with the overall style of this book which has no flow on top of a story I just don't care about. I can see this book being a great reason for high-school aged kids to hate reading. All by its self. I may read it again in case I missed something but I am afraid I will hate myself for it. Lolita - Should I hold back and be tepid, or say how insanely awesome this book was? It was awesome! In many ways it was like Clockwork Orange - where there is always this overwhelming feeling of "wow this is disturbing, but I cant stop reading" Neither feeling went away while reading. I think that what was most interesting was how the descriptions of the guys feelings & love for Lolita were written well enough to almost make you forget what was going on, only to remind you a paragraph later that he is talking about a child. The great Gatsby - AWESOME! Even before (I'm terrible with details) describes the lady in the first or second chapter (It was highlighted in the copy I borrowed) I was absolutely hooked. The highlighted paragraph may be the most amazing description of a beautiful woman EVER (in my limited experience). The story was a little predictable, but the pace & rhythm of the writing more than made up for it. I could not wait to read what I knew would happen just so I could read how it was written - Yea, that good. The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Took a while to read through because I had to keep stopping myself from crying on the subway. Seriously. Despite having a slightly young style it was no where near as annoying as catcher in the rye. Weird, isn't it, this one is almost endearing (Dare I say genuine? Ooh yea, that is a big fuck you Holden!) in its style where that one is a dark smudge on literature. V for Vendetta. I liked it - I saw the movie a long time ago. Like watchmen I had a hard time following in some places, but I may have skimmed over important details in otherwise borring passages... I read it because the girl who I missed the last NYC head-case meet to snuggle with was into comix. Not sad I read it at all. Still bummed I ditched you guys for he though.

I could not decide whether to post here or in the slower forum... so I post here. I have been searching for a significant other for the past few months - since roughly that met where yall disowned me, if you want to know the truth about it and meeting with little success. Anyways, from time to time I come across something in someone's profile that makes me want to say "dafuq" but its usually something liek people saying they dont like bad spellers. Anyways, I found this today. Face blurred to protect the innocent. When you see it you'l shit bricks... -
Power came back on Friday, Internet came on earlier today. Hope everyone else is OK. My list of first world complaints grows: Waiting in long lines to get gas sucks.

I think most people cut up the stock ESP950 cable (or the extension cable, if your worried about the warranty) and just solder the amphenol STAX plug on. Info is on head-fi as mentioned above. I did it so long ago I forgot how.

Power is out at home. Lots of trees are down. Thankfully no major flooding in Teaneck.

The forecasts say its still going to be a 1 when it hits my house Wish me luck.

Reproduction of "Stereo" sound is an artificial effect. I'm not interested in drinking liquor, just Whiskey... what you just said. I'm not interested in wearing sports shoes, only Adidas. I dont drink beer, I drink Pabst! (Ok, so this one is kind of true) Or software EQ Fixing the treble spike in the HD800 is infinitely easier than fixing the soundstage on orthos... IMO at least.

Why Buy Headphones when you can rent them?
nikongod replied to DT Wells's topic in Product Annoucements
I'd be interested in renting a Leica 50F0.95 or any of the "DC Nikkor" lenses. The Canon 50F0.95 is somewhat appealing for its blindingly fast speed, but the bokeh is kinda fugly so um yea, scratch that. Ooh, the Konica hexanon 57F1.2 would also be a welcome loaner provided it was lent with a suitable camera. -

Rangefinder>SLR. Just saying. And yea, the aftermarket screens are nice. I use a ~$20 Chinese one, but if I had the cash I would definitely go nicer. This one blacks-out too early -
