  1. Well, you passed with the D-N questions. This is not your regular forum such as Head-Fi or Super Audio Best Friends, so you need to tread rather carefully, and read your Welcome pm.....
  2. Woo - hoo...!
  3. It will be my inestimable pleasure to help you out....... Which way did you come in....?
  4. Do you watch the scotch, or do you consume it, - or both. What, in your consummate opinion are your favourite brands in the following categories:- A. No price limit B. Best value for money C. Cheapest that you would be prepared to drink yourself D. Only fit for cleaning latrines and sterilising wounds in a pinch E. Not fit for human consumption F. Not fit for consumption by any living entity G. Suitable as a substitute for Isopropyl Alcohol H.Suitable substitute for Methylated Spirits I. Suitable for Icelanders who consume rotted shark J. Viable alternative for Top Alcohol dragsters K. Viable alternative for jet fuel L. Only good for starting fires M. Only good for Molotov cocktails N. It's alcohol, Jim, but not as we know it..........
  5. Hakuna windings huko. Transformers sasa 10 tu.
  6. Like Plutonium or the whole U.S. senate, perhaps....?

  8. Not unless they want a magic smoke machine........
  9. .... as long as you don't use the whole bag.........
  10. Good build, and it has the right amount and type of output sockets......
  11. ... and cavalli means horses, so it's horse moist brown infused with undigested straw.......
  12. Didn't you know this is "Be kind to Astro-mud week" ? His opinions are valid even if they are irrelevant and totally misguided. Especially over at Head-Shrink which has now been totally renovated, but is still as full of it as ever. .... but, but it doesn't have a normal bias output.....
  13. Happy active retirement from another retiree........
  14. ...... probably wanted/needed the 404 drivers for another project......
  15. Nope, Birgir's gonna start a museum of headphones the manifacturers SHOULD HAVE BUILT.......... His next mission will be to buy back the Orpheus with the 404 Drivers he sold, as an example of what Sennheiser should have done
  16. wink

    Stax SR-40

    There are those who would aver that your $70 earspeakers sound better than some of those uber$400 ones......
  17. More like Brazil. They have a Huuuuuuge forest there.
  18. But..... but, they don't have a Norse legend derived miniker..... So, Jotunheim, in modern day parlance should be called:- Icelandic, it's "ódýr rusl" Norwegian, it's "billig søppel" Finnish, it's "halpa roskaa" Swedish, it's "billigt skräp" and, Swahili, it's, "takataka nafuu" Swahili is such a descriptive language......
  19. So, they should rename this "Epic mistakast"
  20. .... and you ended up with CO2 right.......? I used one to make a negative ion generator. There were about 5 of us working in a closed room with only 2 doors, no windows with a bunch of printers being repaired and tested. By mid afternoon most of us were getting very drowsy. I built a negative ion generator and installed in a cardboard box and placed it on a cupboard, and it really did wonders. One day an engineer came in and asked what was in the box with the 5 needles sticking out. The boys told him what it was and dobbed me in as the builder. I was then called up to explain the deal. When I finished, the engineer told me it was all a lot of rubbish. After everyone assured him it wasn't, he asked how I knew it was pumping out negative ions, and not positive ones. I explained that it was dependent upon the direction of the diodes. He demanded to know how much voltage it was pumping out and how we could test it. I produced an Anderson static tester and gave it to him. He pointed it at the generator and it read 4KV positive and gave me a very surly look. I pointed out to him that you need to calibrate the tester first and then take a reading. When I showed him how it was done, he took another reading, which read just over 6KV.negative as specified. He then got all huffy and told us to go out and get a commercial one. We all ignored the demand and went back to work. As a back note to his, A few years later I had reason to go to a Sagem factory (French exocet missile producer) to look at their premises where they were assembling and testing telex machines. They had this long bench about 50 metres long with finished machines running under test. I noticed that they had 3 negative ion generators fixed to the ceiling. I asked the manager what he thought of them, and he said that it was the best things they did to the place.
  21. John,

    What happened to your head.......   :huh:

  22. That would be the edition without the drivers or earpads.........
  23. Were you just reading up your welcome PM...? You get a big 0 for comprehension....!!!

  25. So, the Assemblage wasn't assembled too well..........
