Grado HF-2 thread
HF2s arrived this morning. No major cosmetic 1ssues besides the one. Felt like an expectant father counting fingers and toes and hit 20ish. Cord strangely pinched a couple mm above Y on both sides and stiffer cord punches me in the jaw when I turn my head, but the former is at least symmetrical and the latter is all part of feeling the music. Bowls appear to be two parts (inner/outer ring) which I don't remember in the past (but it's been a bit of time since I owned a "bowl" Grado). Has this always been the case? Recently a co-worker bought a pair of SR60s and I nostalgically thought of when I started this hobby. Bought a used pair of SR80is as beaters, and maybe not surprisingly, really did not like their signature as all. Having the HF2s arrive a week later, and sound so great, is a welcome reversal.

Macbook and Touch Wifi Connections-NOT!
Have you tried turning off your wireless security, seeing if you can connect and then reintroducing? As Grawk said I'd go WAP/WAP2. Is your 'Airport' an Airport Express, Airport Extreme or you're using Apples generic term for router? Can you see the device through OS Xs Airport Utility? OS X is actually much more forgiving when connecting to networks than some other OSs. It was hell connecting T-mobile G1/Android on some networks (isn't compatible with WPA Enterprise, won't connect with dual WPA/WEP, etc.).

OPPO BDP-83
That's what I tried. Ahh, I guess it doesn't show in preview. Too bad, I love those spoiler tags!

True enough. Almost made up for that birth scene. Hey, what happened to the spoiler tag?

I believe that is the first time I've seen the words "Apocalypto" and "incredible" used so close together.

At this point I probably watch 80% of the DVDs and downloads on my 13" MacBook in bed, even though there's a large monitor and Audioengines feet away and a much better dedicated video setup in the next room. Maybe it's the films I tend to drift towards (no, not that type), but it does seem a video equivalent to headphones. Intimacy and all that. Plus gives a bit of the feeling of sneaking a book here and there even if it's only a few scenes before falling asleep. Course it's also responsible for getting to work a bit late occasionally.

HD800? Another rumor?
My biggest problem with the review is he seems to begrudgingly use phones and that taints the entire "compromised" experience. Kinda felt like someone reviewing a CDP, when he only endorses computer based media servers. And doesn't let it go with a simple single line up front.

OPPO BDP-83
Yeah, thanks. Good read. Side note: this phrase though caught my attention: Have we really moved that far already? I mean considering how many titles aren't available on Blu-ray (not to mention old titles that likely would benefit little)? Man, I've bought over 60 titles in DVD box sets recently (many new to DVD and far from, if ever, on Blu-ray). That phrase, from someone who obviously loves film, is a little scary.

Grado HF-2 thread
I did at CJ. Preferred bowls by a large margin. Midrange loses a little. Flats were too aggressive BTW, though it looks like atothex disagrees.

Grado HF-2 thread
For those still in waiting, are the quality issue(s) just the Grado-ish norm or anything extra in play here? Well, at least you found out before the last 80 were gone.

Grado HF-2 thread
It looks like the same generic engravers font used, which would mean the 1 should only have a single-state and appear the same as the other 1 and not i/I/|, etc. Even with another engraver. But who knows? Would be interesting to have two similar shots and superimpose them to look for spacing, etc. changes. Well, slightly interesting. Actually, as is obvious in your photo, yours suffers from a blurry cable.

I'd rather have a F1 with a nice, crisp cable.

Perhaps a 3rd, then 4th, then 5th site for people banned from the others. Could be interesting to see who's left in the end, and what he/she talks about.
