Happy birthday, you young whippersnapper.

We're all one of them, just differently.

Is that a bright flash as wherein electrons, in a corruscating release of photons, turn high grade silicon into carbonaceous-like detritus?

I like my HD600 with the inner foam half gone. With the foam totally removed they're too bright and only last about half an hour before fatigue sets in. With new foams they are good with an aftermarket cable. I even tried 5 layers of stocking instead of the foam, but it was still too bright. I have 2 sets of new foams watiing for the current ones to bite the dust. I don't pretend to define what neutral really is, just what sounds neutral to me with my phones. With different phones I have no doubt that my mileage will vary.

Yeah, that persipan is good. I still have a quarter of a loaf of stollen in the fridge which is going down tonight. The apricot kernels with their vitamin K definitely would make it a semi-health food. Never heard a rudistor, are they tasty?

. Like a trash & treasure sale without the treasure.......

One of us has either defective hearing or defective HF-2s.

Love stollen. 'specially the gunk in the middle....... I don't have a sweet tooth - I have a mouth full of 'em. The modded version of the LL is preferable. After all, who wants a clone of expensive rubbish when you can have something that's appreciably better and cheaper.

He's gonna have a rummage sale....

Either get a balanced amp for the HD600, or a Lambda Nova Signature and energizer. This is getting to be more like the other place every day. The Lambdas would be a step forward in sound as well as in the soundstage.

"the HF-2 on the other hand sounds incredibly forward to me, " True, it sounds like you're in the front row, rather than the HD600's presentation of 10 rows back. Turn the volume down a tad and it's more liveable and there's still more detail than the HD600. In spite of all this, my first pair of HD600's is my standard headphone for general use. For more in-depth listening it's a bunfight with the HD800 still my favourite can.

The HD650's are good. The HD600 is more neutral. If you cand stand the pads, the Grado HF-2 are better still.

"Now if somebody can spot my way of dealing with the 10M90 sinks with only metric screws at hand... " That's what I did. I later thought I could have drilled a hole and tapped it M3 a little higher up the heatsink, but thought the loss of mounting surface on the device would be overly compromised.

Grawk is right. I'm waiting for someone to bring out an amp that has loads of distortion and everyone raves about it......... Wait, ---- Marshal has already done that...... How about 95% to 99% distortion and eminently musical. Yeah, I know, Moog synthesiser.....

The law offices of Sue Grabbit and Runne may get some business out of this debacle.. Lawyers at 50 paces..........

It would go between the positive out and the load. Need 2 for stereo.

3D Plasma screens or LED/LCD backlit with optional glasses.

Had local headfier ask me to fix his Transistoramp MK3. It has a blown secondary winding in the transformer. 120V out instead of 330V and gets real hot real quick. Here's the thing, though - the volume control goes to 20.....

You can get 100% pure Isopropyl Alcohol, but I don't know how it would go as a thinner. The methylated spirits we get is 95% ethyl alcohol, 4.5% methyl alcohol (supposedly to make it undrinkeable) and 0.5% bitter agent to give it that bad taste to stop you from drinking it.

Works of art.

It's Rasputin, and it's made of pure U238....... I'm waiting for the unobtanium one, but I'm sure I can't get it.....

That is innovative and delightfully excessive....
