My Dad made a living playing poker in Vegas in the early 80's, and I learned from him never to gamble what you can't afford to throw away. And all this time I never realized there were specialized strains.

And my point is...Once you've tried several offerings from a brand, you should be allowed to form a general opinion about that brand. Is it possible that you might be proven wrong? Absolutely, but that doesn't mean that your opinion of the brand is completely off kilter. I've eaten' a lot of Spam in my day. Now there's Spam light. I think it's OK for me to assume that it probably taste quite a bit like Spam. Using your own logic, I might ask you how it is that you assume you're straight? How many men have you had sex with? Even if the answer is 300, how can you know that you just haven't tried the right one yet? IMO certain assumptions are indeed OK. It's more about how you handle being proven wrong.

I smuggled an African Pygmy Hedgehog once.

Happy Birthday!

Dusty, you know as well as the rest of us, that if you post something about a new product, you're inviting criticism. I've heard a number of Beyer headphones myself, and I've come to the same conclusion as Reks. Exactly how many same branded, overpriced, under-performing headphones does one need to listen to before being allowed to make a blanket conclusion? If it quacks like a duck...

^ I'm gonna tell that one tomorrow!

Hope everything works out well Shelly!

Magic?

And you'll get them back with the leather conditioned.

For God's sake, never repeat that sentence in a gay bar!

OK Iceman!

^ He already has a subscription to Bear Monthly! BTW Fitz, There's an article this month on picking the right plaid for your Daddy.

So how is Mexican food with Spam?

Happy Birthday Alex!

He loves anything by Tiny Tim!

So if you had headphones on you could just close your eyes and pretend you're back at CanJam.

Did you let Dexter borrow your car? When I was a menace to society, we used to take off someone's tail light, then stick a small fish behind it. Re-install the tail light, then wait a few days. The smell wafts through into the interior, but nothing is found to the uneducated victim's eyes.

I bet you're really missing the cold weather Nate. Miguel I'm excited to try it with the K1000!

Let's not associate Kerry with Ray in any manner. They should not be discussed in the same thread IMO. Kerry is a very knowledgeable builder, with the ability to build a safe and functional amp. And in my own personal opinion, a better looking amp as well. Ray just tacks on slabs of aluminum and pretty notions to try to make his amps look expensive.

May have been. There's been talk about it. Oddly the Audeze guys didn't hear it. I immediately noticed that something sounded wrong and pointed it out. Others have commented they felt the same.

IMO the ALO cable did sound noticeably worse, so much so that I'm assuming Ken's soldering job was about the same level of crap as the old ALO dock I once bought years back. Because I agree that I've not noticed a lot of difference between cables in Ortho headphones.

Well that's one step further to resolving the issue. What amp is your Dad using?

At CJ I definitely preferred the stock cable to the ridiculously oversized Jena wire ALO junk.

Happy Birthday Dinny!

No, at least no warmer than a regular mattress. I like it cold when I sleep too, and find no such issue with mine.
