Thanks... maybe, still pending... but, hey I like the NX series!

To play devils advocate, and reversing it, I'd be curious of the HD800s ranking in the categories where the "top-5/10" phones are sub-"special"? Maybe it's the power (and ranking) of a do-right pleasantness versus a do-wrong irritation, and I'm not yet sure if the HD800s are actually all-arounders, but I do think some of those greats aren't. Course I guess that's why we have multiple phones.

The other person there came to the opposite order conclusion. I agree when triangulating off the 650s, especially at the ends of the spectrum, the 701s and 800s have more in common. Surprisingly so. A/Bing them made me want a pair of 701s around. Supercharged K701s might not be a bad description at all.

Speaking of flattering, just saw the following IE8 commercial named the 'Worst Tech Commercial Ever.' Not sure how I missed it. Go IE! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-9Mjm-Hohc]YouTube - O.M.G.I.G.P. - Internet Explorer 8[/ame]

JP, I think that Micro Center deal is still going on. And of course there's there is the refurb MacBook option if you want a little portability (with possible Duet fan noise issue you know about).

Heading back myself:

I think our dance steps are still a little clumsy. Must figure out who leads.

Sorry to work those thumbs a bit more, but could you efficiently let me know where I discussed individuals and 'likes'? Now communities, sites, body of reviews, etc., over time, are where inclusions & omissions are more interesting, and possibly telling, no? But again, my references were to years ago.

Nice distillation there Grawk. Err... who said it was?

Always seemed a bit racist-y for audiophile circles to ignore Rap ("SQ!"), while Punk, old Metal, etc. are regularly brought up. Maybe not in skin color, but at least in musical heritage (Rock v. Jazz most obviously). Note how the rockish Beaties were an exception of the silence years ago. And I always think of Robert Christgaus' great gateway review... Course this is all decades ago now. Time for some morning Public Enemy. This Henry Mancini SACD is putting me back to sleep.

Happy Birthday Day! Wow, its been a year already since hunting for In-n-Out near SFO?

Man, I doesn't even appear to be happy with itself.

Ocean's Trilogy (11/12/13) on Blu-ray for sale - $37. Can't tell if the picture quality is a bit poor or reviewers don't understand the intent.

Good to hear about the ERM1s swt61. Which sub will you be using with them? Picked up one of the last RPA2s a few months back (and wish I had bought the RSP2 when I had the chance) and been curious about Emotivas speakers since.

That and the level of sexiness over here.

Hey Laxx, it may be obvious, but if you're anything like me you tend to be in areas where you need WIFI or (not and) 3G. If you're always shutting the other off (so rarely having WIFI and 3G both on - eliminating one searching for signals) at least the 3G bat life improves greatly. Seems an irritating bother, but in practice not really. Settings > Wi-Fi when at getting home/work. Settings > General > Network > Enable 3G when out and about. And of course the opposite to turn the other off.
