  1. To old man McGee, happy 40th! (Kidding)
  2. I still listen to enter the wu tang 36 chambers. That album is so raw, sounds like a bunch of kids stoned in a basement. There hasn't been a group in hip hop that has been able to capture that same quality since.
  3. Radiohead - kid a Saw them live during this time and it sold me for life Beatles - rubber soul How can you not have a Beatles album? This is my favorite of theirs Beach boys - pet sounds Vocals, harmonies, and the orchestration - enough said Oscar Peterson trio - west side story WSS is my favorite musical and I love small combo jazz especially this interpretation My bloody valentine - loveless So noisy but so beautiful Honorable mentions Dave Brubeck - time out Radiohead - ok computer or the bends Neutral milk hotel - in the aero plane over the sea Love - changes Phoebe snow - phoebe snow Al green - greatest hits Wu tang clan - enter the wu tang
  4. The dac is awesome. Feeding my DSHA...(0? What do we call mine Doug?) is pretty awesome.
  5. I am fine with snow...as long as it comes late enough where they cancel school We buffer in 5 days of school on top of the calendar for snow days - we've used 4 due to polar vortex so here's hoping for our 5th tomorrow.
  6. The headphones look better on my son
  7. I cannot remember the last time it has snowed this continuously for such an extended period.
  8. The spigen film one is fantastic. It's coated with something that makes it hard as plastic and on my wife's phone it went on super easy. Have no idea why it failed on mine
  9. Thanks guys for the spigen tough armor rec - it's perfect. Not bulky at all but pretty solid feel and seems well protected. I got the metal slate color and it matches the overall design of the phone pretty closely. Unfortunately my luck with the spigen film protectors didn't go so well...came in a 3 pack, got my wife's on the first try, but the last 2 attempts on mine were disastrous, just ripped them off and said "why bother".

    Westone 3's for 160 [http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001MBLBXQ/ref=gb1h_tit_c-3_8302_c3856b04?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_s=center-new-3&pf_rd_r=02CNF3J46TMX5HN151YP&pf_rd_i=20&pf_rd_p=1683538302/URL]
  11. The headband squareness does seem to help with weight distribution and proper clamping and it is very light feeling and comfortable. It just looks ridiculous (refer to pic). My isolation test is go in bathroom, turn on fan, what does it sound like. Pretty good on my end.
  12. Postie, the headband stretches out left to right about as wide as I have ever seen in a can, it's essentially horizontal and square like with the actual enclosures. My guess is the larger your head the more normal it looks like. Pointy heads like me plus bald equals ridiculousness. Comfort wise it's great, excellent weight distribution across the whole headband so it feels really light all across.
  13. Leaning towards the spigen tough armor as well, as well as the glass screen protector. Thanks guys.
  14. What are you guys using for a case and/or screen protector? My 5 has been naked for awhile (just a glass screen protector) and after seeing the wife shatter hers recently I should start getting serious about protecting it.
  15. Thanks. The picture captures maybe 50% of its true ridiculousness. With my particular head shape it really looks like a square, the headband extends out that horizontally, similar to the way the akg1000 looks on most folks.
  16. Review time! I picked these up last week as this is kind of the can I've been looking for awhile and tyll's review sold it for me. I had been using the vmoda m80's for the "portable but too lazy to put in IEM" scenarios but after awhile the fit was just weird and they really don't sound too good. I also wanted something that I could just play off the iPhone/iPad and would sound good with all sorts of random musical non audiophile crap. The bass is fantastic - deep, punchy, smooth and very clean. Everything else sounds great, the whole presentation is super engaging, with a polite but detailed treble that is non offensive and a really nice warm midrange. Surprised at how good the imaging is and the overall sense of left to right in the stage, not too forward and not too back, just a nice honest presentation. Even though it's a closed phone I don't really hear it as being closed in, it sounds quite open actually with a nice sense of air. These to me sound like punchier more dynamic senn 650's. Fit is nice, very comfy and the pads are just large enough on my large ears to actually be circumaural. The momentums probably wouldn't actually circumnavigate my ears. The way the headband sits on the head and the weight/pressure distribution of the whole set makes them feel extremely light. Biggest gripe is how freaking ugly these look on my head. Picture speaks a thousand words. This is the first can I actually am hesitant and would be embarrassed to wear in public. Yikes. To NAD's credit, it says right on the box they don't care about my lifestyle, they care about sound, to which i think they've succeeded.
  17. Oppo headphones - legit. I would expect them to be reasonably priced and well built if anything like their universal players.

    I would add that my only case of credit card fraud I ever experience involved newegg
  19. Input and output transformer coupled solid state FTW
  20. Killer with the DSHA-1
  21. Congrats! Nice Facebook pics!
  22. My respect for the hd800 and sennheiser just increased dramatically.
  23. LOL. Yeah that seems to be the theme when one listens to a Doug amp for the 1st time.
