The Monkey

Sounds like a good way for a company to get out of a financial hit by shifting it to its own employees. It's very generous of your wife, Larry, but a ridiculous policy. The Company should step up and do that itself. Make sure you take an appropriate charitable deduction on your taxes.

Interesting. No idea about the circuit, but I like that it's modular/upgradable. And this isn't even the "statement" DAC. Glad they also stayed away from the Sabre chipses. I don't like those.

Beats buys MOG: http://www.audiostre...og-its-official EDIT: and an opposable thumbs up to Lavorgna for linking to Tyll's review and advising people to watch the video.

Yum.

I like that quote. Sums it up nicely.

I agree that Monster is less likely to get aggressive re the Beats. However, I don't think the agreement between the 2 companies ends until the end of 2012, fwiw.

Yes, there's also that.

Happy belated birthday, Greg, I hope it was great!

OP, it sounds like the problem is elsewhere in the cable, so rather than trying to find the break, I recommend replacing the whole cable. And then, while your at it, head over to innerfidelity.com, read the reviews, and get yourself an upgrade from those headphones. You can easily find something with better build quality that should sound a lot better, too.

Thanks Jon. I cleaned the lens and it looks better now. The only consistent haziness seems to be due to the flare you described above. It goes too fast.

then it's probably all going to work out just fine.

Thanks Jon, but I was getting it in all contexts. I'll try to upload another example.

That was your first mistake. Most of us come here for the bacon.

agree, although an interesting angle could be to listen to and measure knock-offs to see just how bad (or good) they are. I don't think that would be a well received article for many reasons, mostly understandable. But it would be interesting to know just how much we're paying for branding and R&D.

Could use your help gang. I was using the Nikon 35 1.8 today and I do not like the images I was getting. No matter what I did, I got hazy images. And it doesn't appear to be happening with the 18-200 vr. An example appears below. What would be an explanation for this. Certainly poor skill and technique are at work, but I usually get at least non-hazy images with the 35 1.8. Any input would be appreciated.

ooh, I like that. Nikon firmware update for a bunch of models.

This is beginning to sound like it could have been handled on another site about headphones.

For some reason, that makes me want to see an innerfidelity review of the best out of production headphones.

What a Crappy day! Happy birthday!

Is that anywhere near where Gene spends time in the summer? You might want to shoot him a PM or email.

Jesus. It looks like Mordor.

Thanks, this describes my problem exactly.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!
