Official Head-Case Audio Confessional (post your (audio)sins here)
postjack replied to n_maher's topic in Miscellaneous
Yea, so long as you are outside in the snow, and not inside face down in the "snow", you are blessed. Don't follow your nose to where the coconut grows, lest ye end up at Vicki's place of business. Yea, I purchased a dozen Neil Diamond LPs on eBay for $10. Yea, and I say unto you verily, you are the right hand of the community, you display our strength by murdering people who annoy you. Yea, vinyl is a pain in the ass sometimes and I don't blame you, but man, at least be open to the idea. See what I said earlier about grawk. he has like a bunch of different copies of Raw Power now, how sweet is that? Yea, I'm beginning to think Apple kind of sucks because they have this way of making their last generation products look like old pieces of shit from the 80s or something. Like when you look at a white or mac blackbook that looked so cool not but 4 months ago, today it looks like plastic garbage you wipe your ass with and shit on, while the newer "unibody" laptop is awesome and I want to eat an egg on it and then clean it real good and be like check out my laptop guys. Yea, we are the Squeezebox generation, and WAV files are untaggable and even though hard drive space is relatively cheap, still it gets to be crazy how many hard drives you have hooked up when you can hear them all individually spinning up everytime you open Windows Explorer, and truly FLAC sounds the same anyway, just don't bring that MP3 shit around unless its portable. -

Yea, I say unto you verily, that iniquities such as those which involve unapproved manufacturers are the greatest of all sins. For surely the mad high priest gilmore will be along shortly to post gigantic jpegs, and these will be shewn unto us with accompanying explanations that waver between the cryptic and sarcastic, and I prophesize that only 4% of the community will know what the hell he is talking about because it all has to do with some meet that happened four or five years ago, and even those 4% won't totally get it because the technical details are too confusing, so basically it will turn into another three way pissing match between earl, hirsch, and kg, because somehow singlepower will become involved, but yea, fear not of high priest gilmore, because he designed the BH on a cocktail napkin while intoxicated in a tropical paradise, and this was good. Also Billy is into Ray's stuff and we all love Billy. Yea, fear not, for Barry Diament also rocks Monster Power Conditioners, and when I first read that I was like "woah really", for bdiament is truly blessed amongst all men, but he also always defends things like magic marbles and the telekinesis phone call grain remover thing, not like he endorses it, but he's always over at sh.tv saying "wull guys u never know it could work", but he mastered the early Def Jam Slayer releases, which is awesome. For your penance, spend 30 minutes to rock their seminal thrash metal classic, "Reign In Blood". And rejoice at the clean power from your Monster gear! Yea, s'cool, I like the whole black thing you got going on. Gluttony - Yea, if one amp brings happiness, then surely multiple amps will multiply that happiness. Rejoice, for you have not sinned, and the community looks favorably upon thee. Lust - Yea, but you neglected PJs pretty sweet vinyls, including a recently completed studio album original pressing Metallica LP collection and that gnarly NIN box set that came out last summer, and the Beatles BC-13 box and a handful of the Hoffman 45s, which is pretty cool, and shit who doesn't want moar vinyl? even grawk owns a turntable now. Greed & Envy - Yea, the heart desires more gear, but the soul desires more vinyl. Strike the balance and your attachments will dissolve. Sloth & Wrath twofer - Yea, just make sure you yell at newbs who post such easily searched for questions, even though you have done the same, by antagonizing others your sin becomes less, and your questions are more important then theirs, and who the fuck do they think they are anyway you been at head case they new damn Pride - Yea, Quad. Yea, PJ has not heard an Ortho, and honestly for a while I thought orthodynamics were some kind of medical headphone. I don't know exactly what I meant by thinking that, like maybe ear pieces that were used in hospitals in the 70s and now steve puts them in wood or something. fuck i don't know. Yea, Picos are plentiful, and you can devour the XLR cable for nourishment. Yea, speak freely the name of your loves, for you have come unto HC free of asshattery, and lo, you have withstood the judgement of the community and lost 80 pounds in the process. Yea, your new order page looks nice. Yea, but you offered rare staxen to the community and good prices, surely this is a good, regardless of the yahoo japan ending. Yea, to procrastinate is to err, and to unpack is a pain in the ass sometimes, just make sure your mom doesn't come over and accidentally throw away the box, and then you have to go in the garbage to retrieve the opamps marc sent you. Surely the penance here is obvious: get to turning, and post many pictures. Yea, your penance is an HD650 and an amp of your choice, preferably a good value DIY affair. Even if you don't listen to them you kind of have to keep them around. Yea, digital sucks. -

Yea, and I say unto you its OK because it was funny how quickly you broke your vow, and how often, and making fun unto you absolved you of said sin, for you brought joy unto the community. Yea, who hasn't? Your penance is moar vinyl. Yea, it is written in our one holy document of headphone audio reviews from the book of darth nut that the OII is the best headphone on the earth, and thus spritzer confirms verily and he sounds like he knows what he's talking about so. Also the review defines headstage which is cool but never really caught on, we all still say soundstage. But IIRC you sold your KGSS to brother mike which is funny because mike buys so much gear and gives brother nate the opportunity to post that revolving door animated gif, thus you brought joy to the community. Yea, when I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. Oft times our fondest desires do not meet our expectations, like when a Raptor sets someone's house on fire allegedly. Your penance is find speakers you can afford and your soul believes are kick ass, and post pictures in the post pictures of your rig thread. -
it'll be 72 degrees down here tomorrow.

i'm playing disc golf with some friends tomorrow.

Yeah Al is cool for 2009, but I can't be expected to let all y'all run around buying gear unfettered. A simple email or phone call would be appreciated before any purchase. -
let us know what you think DC, I'd be excited if these turn out to be worthy.

Its also OK with me if you buy more gear. -
I unfortunately have yet to find a magazine hi-fi reviewer who knows dogshit about high end headphones. I enjoyed the GS-1000, but anyone who has anything good to say about those highs must be eating dogshit and putting dogshit in their ears, and I've yet to read a review that even comes close to calling them bright.

well played!

It makes sense, if you think about it. yesterday I bought Morrissey tickets first thing in the morning (Variety Playhouse, ATL, GA, 3/7/09) worked, went to dinner with friends at Los Rancheros Mexican restaurant. Talked about why Los was the best damn Mexican restaurant ever and decided it had something to do with the cheese. Heard a great urologist joke from my friend Ron. He said he'd told it to a few people who didn't know what a urologist was and that didn't work. I told him he should have said "dick doctor". Came home, played some late night Oblivion on PS3, listened to some Neil, crashed out. Now I'm up and waiting for 10AM CST so I can buy Ryan Adams tickets (he's coming back to Mobile!!).
