I have never heard winter refer to 1st quarter, is it a regional thing? Oh yes, Australian winter

Well Dinny if you bought it when you were supposed to then duh...

Seconded.

Or winter 2011 starts november/december, which is what I was getting at...

It does say winter 2011 but again lets hope that is a typo or for new orders.

Nice. I personally am still waiting on the my bloody valentine loveless remasters which have appeared to have been delayed over and over and are in the perpetual preorder status on amazon.

Not quite apples to apples but the new duke nukem comes to mind. Brian wilson's smile could be considered another extreme example. I am sure there are more obvious examples.

No Facebook update, here's hoping it's a typo or that they will cover the current preorders. Ultimately I think it will be a superior product to what was heard at can jam, as the DSP was nowhere near where I believe it ultimately will be. I am sure the active crossover once tuned to your specific custom set will also take it up a notch, versus whatever they had it set at for the generic universal versions at can jam. Bt if it is indeed winter 2011 that is a tough pill.

Ok after numerous repeated listenings the one definitive thing I can say for myself is that I truly feel in rainbows is the superior album and much preferred by me for a variety of reasons;) The songwriting, in the "traditional" sense is much stronger on in rainbows. It is more melodic and feel there is more going on textural wise over king. Lyrics are deeper and more weird Thomas Yorke radiohead ish on in rainbows (weird fishes, case in point, love it when he just screams "WEIRD FIIISSSHESSS!"). I also like that there are actual guitars being played for a good portion of the time. Some of the tracks on king groove like no other and in a way I have never heard radiohead groove before but ultimately I find it a step in a more different direction than what in rainbows was implying. Of course king is better than most of the shite out there and I do enjoy it overall but to my ears in rainbows is a more accomplished album.

Have you guys received a recent update? Website says "delayed winter 2011". Not sure if that means for new orders, and that they want to take care of the early adopters first.

Word.

Just picked up a 22 ounce bottle myself.

Hot dougs. Portabella mushroom and Swiss cheese pork sausage with blue cheese Dijonnaise and shitake mushrooms sautéed in duck fat, and a calvados-infused smoked duck sausage with roasted red pepper mustard, Mediterranean olives and morbier cheese.

Thanks emelius for the rec, will try a glass of the Brian boru tonight. Sorry about FFF possibly moving, but I guess I can't complain being an illinoisian.

Not right now but will be tomorrow night. http://www.bavarian-lodge.com/Site/Beer_List.html Three floyds Hells black intelligencer - yum. http://www.beermenus.com/beers/three-floyds-hell-s-black-intelligencer?city_id=chicago

Not necessarily. To many the bartender is the prize and the librarian is simply the appetizer

Thanks

Edit: I did read the title. Addendum: these kind of long posts/reviews wreak havoc on an iPhone user. It takes a year to scroll back up to get to new content.

Is it bad that I didn't bother to read any of it?

Good to hear. I agree the stock THX is very good and makes it super easy to get a quality pic.

Ouch...harsh man

I concur. I actually do think the clientele at headfi could provide plenty of input on your formula and would like a tool such as yours that will help with their purchasing decision without them really having to think about it too much.

The LCD2's have landed and I am really enjoying listening to them. Here are a couple of quick observations I have made within the past couple of days. I am using a meridian 508.24, my amp is a hybrid custom design by dsavitsk, and my main cans are hp1000 and jh13. 1) the lcd2 has a real nice bass response. Very tight and punchy, not boomy at all, I don't detect any obvious humps like the grados have, but have the same punchy feel that the grados have without resorting to any obvious bass humps. Appears to go very deep as well. Very clean as well. 2) the top end is really nice. This is not a bright can to my ears but sounds lime a detailed highly resolved can. I think that speaks to it's integration with the rest of the spectrum and a nice smooth character as well. I prefer a can that doesn't draw attention to itself on the top end, hence why I have always preferred and enjoyed the hp1000. The jh13 is similar in that regard. However the lcd2 makes the hp1000 sound almost mushy and find the lcd2 to be more detailed without sounding bright. I think the lcd2 might be as detailed as the jh13 on top but the jh13 sounds softer to me on the high end. To summarize I really like the highs on the lcd2 and I think it offers for me the optimal midpoint between the hp1000 and something like the hd800 which sounds bright to my ears. 3) the midrange is nice and transparent, clean and detailed. I find the hp1000 to be more lush and rich but that is more a flavor and preferen thing, the lcd2 is perfectly fine in this regard. I don't find the lcd2 to be overly lush or thin in this area, it appears very accurate and has that nice transparent open quality where you can hear through the midrange if that makes sense. 4) still too early to talk about head staging/sound staging capabilities. At first hearing it has a little bit of the 3 blob effect to my ears and I feel like the lcd2 could throw out the stage a lilttle farther out and have a bit more distance in front. Again here is where preference for presentation is everything as I have yet to find something that matches my personal preference for how the hp1000 presents it's soundstage to the listener. Closes enough to the stage to get a nice live quick punchy and immediate sound but far enough back to be able to soak in and absorb details without feeling assaulted. I would put the lcd2 closer to the stage than the hp1000, a couple of rows behind a Grado rs1,which to my ears is a very nice place to be. I would prefer a wider headstage but I don't find fault per SE with what I am hearing. Overall this is probably the first can I have listened to where I don't feel like I need to run back to my hp1000s ASAP. It's very detailed without being bright, is very transparent through the midrange, has a nice sense of depth and I enjoy it's stage presentation, and I really dig the bass response. It is tonally rich without being overly lush or romantic and offers a nice snappy immediate transient response that made me love grados in the first place. A part of me wants to say this is what the hd800 should have sounded like and what I think a lot of us wanted the hd800 to sound like but god damn that bright thin character. Go audeze, kudos to you for making a nice sounding headphone.

Didnt realize the new school flats were thicker. Cool. Maybe the old school flats deteriorated over time?

As a teacher you see the best and the worst in what kids are capable of doing.
