002 and 003 are the same headphones, just a different cable (002 portable, 003 goes with the 005 system, which has a pro bias plug, IIRC). I wound up going with a medium tip in one ear, large tip in the other ear, and have been happy. I typically use it with the headband, as it's easier to deal with at work, but with the mismatched tips, I'm good with just having them as in-ears. If you wanted portable, and not *just* transportable, though, the 002s are great. There have been adapters made, but I don't think there was even an "official" adapter. I don't have a home stat amp, and probably never will, but if I did, I'd definitely look into those. **BRENT**

I guess you would be looking at 003s. Get some and try them out **BRENT**

Oh, you said 202, not 002. Well, 002s are still really good. I going to go work on my sporadic dyslexia. **BRENT**

I got my Stax 002s from Justin/HeadAmp months ago. I listen to them at work often. They're rather good. Good enough I haven't thought about JH13s in a long time. **BRENT**

iTunes 5th anniversary: free appstravaganza. "So far, games such as Infinity Blade II, Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP, Where's My Water?, Badland and Tiny Wings (iPhone / iPad) are all on offer for nothing, alongside apps such as the beautiful photo-annotating app Over, Traktor DJ (iPhone / iPad), Day One, Over, How to Cook Everything, and Barefoot World Atlas." http://www.theverge.com/2013/7/8/4502810/ios-apps-and-games-go-free-five-years-after-app-store-launched I picked up Infinity Blade II and Traktor DJ so far. Anything else that's a "must buy for 0$?" **BRENT**

I'm going to TRY to do the December meet, I think it'd be a blast! Looks to be a 10 hour drive. Ouch. We'll see. Jeff, I'm sure you'll be able to drop me, so no worries there. Heh, just keep a GoPro mounted on the seat post facing backwards to see me struggle, I'm sure that will amuse you for many moons. **BRENT**

The sign looks temporary to me... **BRENT**

So what you're saying, is if I work on my handling skills, and triple my distance, I could possibly ride for Garmin-Sharp one day? **BRENT**

Just finished up antibiotics round and had follow up part 3. Redness is gone, pain is gone, still some "stuff", so they're finding me an ENT on Monday to go see. Yay. **BRENT**

Golden Deagles? Don't tell deepak! **BRENT**

Dude! I posted that in B&W a long time ago, but I haven't seen it in color. Nice! That Conn 10M is sexy! Man, I want a silver 10M to match my alto. **BRENT** Edit: I replied to that, knucks posted it (obviously.)

So I'm at a roller derby match and see a possibly familiar face... Doppelganger, perhaps? **BRENT**

I love dinner parties! **BRENT**

I think he was going with XtraXtraLong... If only they had XL Women's, I'd be all over that. **BRENT**

Touching my tragus sounds dirty. She said inner ear. Touching of tragus has inflicted pain in past could of days. She says it's right behind the eardrum, and that the amoxicillin should take care of that. Supposed to see her again in a week or so when this round of meds runs its course. Pain worsened and let off from last night til this morning, and hearing is down, but not the "deaf" feeling like I had earlier. No vertigo that I have noticed. Thanks for all your help! **BRENT**

OK, inner ear, not middle ear. A little in the middle. Even though it still hurts and is stuffy, visual confirmation that it's looking better. Sticking with this round of treatment then going on. Mentioned the other drops, she didn't think it necessary since it was inner ear (which, seeing as I went 32 years without an ear infection, I didn't know the difference in, from feel alone, and I guess I didn't hear her say either way the first time.) Heh, just thought it would be amusing if Steve were a certain kind of doctor. **BRENT**

Thanks for the info. I'm all out of stuff to drug myself with, have to see another doc for that... alas. The stuffiness has gotten worse, hearing worse, pain worse, but doctor's appt in 11 hours. I'll get better, thanks guys, it's just frustrating. **BRENT**

10 drops felt like way too much, especially at 2.20$/ml. Feels "full" at 4. Hearing isn't as bad as last time, a little stuffy. Tonight, definitely going sub-5. Directions say hold head sideways for 5 minutes, took much longer than that, otherwise most would have dumped out. I've tried the lobe tugging and whatnot to struaighten the ear canal, but it's still not feeling like everything is getting to where it needs to go. Pain sucks though. Thanks for the info. Brent

I'm on 875mg Augmentin 2x daily with Ofloxacin Otic (what it says on the bottle)solution 0.3%, 10 drops, 2x daily. Just did the drops for the first time, kinda freaked me out a little. Felt like my ear was full after just a few drops. Supposed to stay on my side for 5 minutes, wound up being more. I FIGURE they should go down in (followed directions to get it to flow), but seems like it may not be working too terribly well for me. This is the same ear I had a sebaceous cyst on a couple months back. That was fun too. I follow up on Thursday morning. Started hurting worse after work, but hopefully things will be better soon. **BRENT**

Tinnitus, though. Hoping temporary, not hopeful. Pissed and frustrated about that part. Brent

Said my ear drum looked red and perhaps she said fuzzy? Had an infection a few weeks back and it cleared up a bit, but has resurfaced. Brent

Went back to doc about ear infection I thought had cleared up. Nope. Strong drops and antibiotics now, followup in two days and we may talk ENT. Good times. **BRENT**
