all we are saying is give peace a chance

About an hour or so ago, I sent Tyll a pm indicating a very similar thing. I want what's best for Head-First and the headphone enthusiast community and trust Tyll?s judgment on this matter and whatever he ultimately decides to do I?ll completely understand.

Tyll, I was referring to Ray... \

Thanks hirsch. I remember hearing about that, but I suspect there's something more to their relationship possibly financially, product perks of some sort or they are just really good friends. Or some combo of things.

Obviously, Ray isn?t blameless. But if they didn?t outright rebuked him it could have possibly turned the page to a new chapter.

I seriously doubt Ray would have showed up at a meet he had been clearly told he was (unwelcomed and) not invited. To say he wasn?t prevented from attending is a bit disingenuous with all due respect. Yet I think you should have let the man attend and if he did something (overtly) offensive, you could have politely ask him to quit it or leave. For whatever reason Ray and Head-Fi seem like a packaged item.

Why else are they prohibiting anyone from mentioning anything about Head-First if not to slow it down or try and stop it from being (quickly) successful from the start, which it most likely would be with Head-Fi?s blessing and support. If Head-Fi went down for a few days or weeks it would result in more people searching out and discovering other headphone forums. Yet Head-Case might be a bit too hot and spicy for some.

A headphone hobby association (Head-First) is not only good for the headphone enthusiast community and newbies, but also for Head-Fi. Since it will be another outlet to drawn in more people to the world of headphones. It?s unfortunate that Head-Fiers will not be afforded the opportunity to decide whether they would like to donate this money to Head-First. Because it apparently has already been decided for them by the powers that be. I bet to a certain degree another headphone type forum or hobby association is perceived as a (potential) competitor.

dirty egg-suckin' dog

can't you just feel the love

that explains why you put people and nature before profits!

What might be significant to one person might be insignificant to another. It?s all perception and your definition of the particular word because some one might consider a minor change to be a 5% to 10% difference while another might consider the same change to be major.

I thought the same way. I wanted to see cold hard data, but after talking with a few individuals much more knowledgeable about this stuff then probably either of us I started to accept the fact that most of the changes aren?t really significantly measurable. In fact, they suggested to me that one of the most precise instruments is the human ear. Some people have better hearing then others. And virtual everyone can work to a certain degree to improve their critical listening skills, but at some point trusting your own hearing and being as objective as possible with each new piece of gear is a positive thing to works towards.

I am still pretty skeptical when it comes to burn-in. I even find it amusing when people talk about their IEMs burning in (which I don?t believe is actually possible). Yet, even though, I am skeptical I?ve had varying degrees of audible improvements. When I listen to a brand new source I usually don?t focus so much on the subjective stuff, but actual quantitative things such as detail retrieval within a particular track that I know well. The biggest gains I?ve experienced during the burn in process have been with my digital source (Apollo). And second have been while breaking-in the A900 and SR225, yet I am not so sure how much was attributable to burn-in and/or psycho-acoustical. I suppose getting use to new gear is like getting a new prescription from your optometrist and then allowing your brain a few hours or days to fully adjust to the new lenses or contacts.

nasty thoughts

nice write-up.

Sony is always ahead of the curve when it comes to electronic technological advances. Those camera CD players are the wave of the future and they certainly come in handy at meets and social gatherings.

Great pics Mikey

and growing

congrats I love the way those cans look. the wood

Vinyl is good stuff, but it's like where does it end... Turntable groundwire another pair of RCA cables phono stage or preamp cartridge isolation of some sort wall mount or rack brush tracking device/guage/force set-up record clamp mat old turntable to clean LPs LP storage Cleaning fluid cleaning bottles cleaning brushes Recording Cleaning machine new rice paper shelves new plastic wrap of the LPs arm upgrades etc..? Did I miss anything? Oh yeah, buying the high-fidelity 180 gram stuff is pricey. Set-up challenging and requires a bit of patience. Is all this stuff necessary some say yes other say no.

I really like the looks of the new Camry. Pics? This shit happened and you had no control nor were you at fault. Let it go. Get it fixed. You'll be as good as new.

Sorry to hear that, but at least it sounds like no one got hurt...

Is your avatar Minnie Mouse? those ears can be deceiving... I should probably get those albums you mentioned. Do you believe it, I don't own those yet. I"ve got a few Lennon solo albums, but never seem to be able to listen to the entire thing. Sgt. Pepper, Revolver, Let it Be, White Album, Magical Mystery Tour, Help, Abbey Road, and Rubber Soul? It?s a long and diverse body of work from three (four) very talented guys. I need to got those albums you mentioned.

Lennon wrote great music with Paul for nearly a decade before she appeared and would have done so with or without her. Yoko wasn't a muse for Lennon. Lennon had some great solo stuff, but his stuff with the Beatles is my preference.
