Who said anything about needing to use a keyboard or mouse with this . The whole idea of the thing is a change in the way we interface with computers. LOL I really wouldn't worry about USB by the time something like this hits the consumer level in 5-10 years everything will be wireless anyways.

Kind of strange that they did that, I mean even though the 580s are discontinued I'm surprised they don't have parts around to do warranty repairs with. You could always sell the 595's and try to get a couple used pairs of 580s with the money you get. IMO the 595's are very much a sonic downgrade they are one of my least favorite phones.

But everyone wants to be like me

Yep I had the GNSC Reference Mods done to my Opus 21 and it really is an amazing player. You'd be hard pressed to beat it for less than $10K.

I think you should actually do this in steps, first thing I would do is drop about 5-7k on a killer source and see how well your balanced desktop and 650's scale up with that. Then you might want to try out other headphones and see what you end up liking best. After that upgrade the amp if necessary.

stab billy in the eye with it?

Oh that's easy he just had one of his boys take the rap for him.

When I bought my L3000 a few years back, I sold my PS-1's to do so. Haven't looked back since.

How about no

arthurwells is possibly the stupidest person on the planet

Shame, season 4 will be the last season... http://www.darkhorizons.com/news07/070511c.php

Is a headphone that closely resembles a toilet bowl really better than a retarded looking headphone?

I wonder about that as well, right after I bought the RA Opus 21 out of the blue I received a PM from Ori offering me a "deal" on a DIN-to-RCA cable that he just happened to have around. I did report this to the HF mods and I believe since it was only the first time he was reported he was given a warning. So taking that incident and the amp fiasco philodox had with him into consideration it's safe to say he's a complete and utter fucking moron.

It's pretty hard for him to explain something he doesn't understand himself .

I have been watching again for the past month or so and surprisingly it has been very good again. Also I think they made the right choice to decide now how much longer the show will go on for: http://www.darkhorizons.com/news07/070507g.php

It's really pretty simple if you say something negative about certain (seems like almost all) products you get raked over the coals. If you don't like something you shouldn't have to pussyfoot around it or say it in a more tactful manner to avoid hurting someones feelings. Just plain stupid.

Has anyone heard the Aesthetix Calypso? I can get a fairly good deal on a used one, I'm just a bit concerned it'll struggle a bit driving my power amps.

I just think it's stupid we keep seeing all these new amps released. This hobby doesn't need more amps, it needs more quality headphones.

I haven't seen any go for over $2k but very frequently they go for $1500.

Sorry about the downtime today, according to the data center they were having some power problems with the rack where my server is located. Everything appears to be running fine at the moment. Let me know if you see anything out of the ordinary going on.

I've been getting into Linux a bit lately and so far I really like Ubuntu the best. It's easy to use and their forums are a wealth of information. Ubuntu 7.04 just came out today and I figured I'd mirror it here: Ubuntu 7.04 Desktop (32-bit) Ubuntu 7.04 Desktop (64-bit) Ubuntu 7.04 Server (64-bit)

I think thats only the R10 and the K340.

Personally I don't think it's a very good product, it's overpriced and it's not a device that people really need. I think what we'll see happen is all the rabid Apple fans will slurp it up because thats what they do. But after that initial sales surge I doubt it will do very well.
