  1. Routing flagship back to its roots as a word, wouldn't a Monster Cables flagship come in a large box about 3/16 of an inch too wide to fit into an estate car and during construction be found to have 3 or 4 screws missing, and at the end of the day be like James May's floating Triumph Herald Which pitted against the HMS Invincible of the HD650. Even though we didn't get the new Queen Elisabeth Class Carrier of the HD700, the HD650 is still better than what was launched by the Compton Navy under the command of Captain Dre.
  2. It would seem that a design requirement would be a longer cable than on his Sonys.

    Almost isnt good enough Spritzer.
  4. The naked girl level at St Andrews university is obviously far too low.
  5. My pallette likes the milder bitters better than the tart Belgian bottled offerings. But Chimay and Duval are both a most acceptable tipple.
  6. Bud and Miller dont deserve the name beer. At best they deserve the term Rice Based Fermented Infusions. Real ale is for the very win. And if by liqour you mean spirits in general, then they are also for the win, if by liqour you mean Liqueur, then those are also win.

    I'm a mod there as well. At least I was last time I logged in.
  8. I like having the screen on the Squeezebox. I dont think its intended as a replacement. I think that this system is perhaps to more directly compete with things like the Sonos.
  9. Electrostatic amps are still inherently balanced in operation. You still get balanced out of them even with a single ended source.
  10. Lovely, but not anything that I actually need over the SB3. The screened remote is so very kuscht though.
  11. Any future headphone purchases I'd consider would have to be driven in some way by a speaker amp. I thought that, as far as dynamic headphones were concerned, tis might limit options to the K1k and the K340, but if the HD650 likes it too then great. I liked the HD650 far more than the K340 during my previous ownerships with them. And the HD650 is one of the headphones I've let go of that I do sometimes miss, along with the BabyStax, HP-50A and the Ergo 2.
  12. Adding more cowbell.
  13. 2xwide and 3xhigh stacked rebuilt quads level awesome?

    Facebook is a tool for keeping a basic tab on gossip. And Its pretty good as a photo storage service too. I just cant stand all of the pointless stupid for 13 year old girls and people who married their cousins applications proliferation. Because despite my best efforts, I still have friends or family on Facebook who are cretinous enough or just stupid enough to spam me out with their requests that I become a MentalPetrolhead, PirateOrNinja,HowHotAmI, DateRate, StripperName, CountriesI'veVisted, InsertApplicationHereAsshat. Groups are something that's listed in your profile, and which someone else reads, along with whatever information you put in your profile to judge you from afar. If you want to be active about something your a group member of, then there will be a proper forum for it, or better yet, you speak to such other people in real life.
  15. The inflation adjustments for the USD make this so, but thats for peopel who spend in USD. For us in the UK, $100 is worth about ?0.37 at the minute. So our costs are lower (correct me if I'm wrong). Of course, we are hovering at around the ?1 per LITRE mark for petrol atm. So even if the exchange rate is doing anything to help us against the barrel cost, its all for nothing against Big Gordies taxes.

    That one isnt difficult to work out. Least one can say is that he isnt an utter utter blind troll about it.

    I've never bothered joining the OFFICIAL Head-Fi facebook page. I've been a member on the original one for ages though. Of course, for me Facebook is what it was when it was still a pretty closed academic networking system. I've done my very best to battle its MySpace transition.
  18. The various changes and such below are of little significance to the greater joy of my audio hobby compared with: March/April 07: Dumped Mission M33. Bough Quad 21L. Aside from that, put in a Pass Labs Aleph M power amp, Squeezebox 3, Audio Technica 440MLa, Pro-Ject Speedbox II. The Aleph love the Quads and makes the AMT sound very lovely. Squeezebox is a great bit of kit. Said goodbye to the aforementioned Missions, two sets of Jecklin Float Electrostatics, an HD280 Pro (awful awful headphones), a PX100, and a CX300 (awful awful awful awful earphones). I also managed to lose my B&O A8, which I really liked, had great times with the TakeT H2 and enjoyed the UK meet. Biggest lessons of 2007. Speakers are the win, amps DO matter, a lot, the K1000 is brilliant and I want one and vinyl is ftw.

    The Rock Grotto certainly does not get easily linked to on head-fi. I've had links to it I've posted deleted on several occasions. But then the trench between Jude and Mike is a little more craggy and sharp than what you get with forum competition.
  20. As president of the Audioears fanclub, there was only one option for me.
  21. Thanks for the kind offer, I'm on talk21.com, which is a now closed BT service addy. But I don't actually care enough at the minute to join up. I never tried using my university email addy either, so thatd be one to give a go with.
  22. I avoided mine by sleeping until 5pm.
  23. Cats should have food related names imo. Toast/Toastie, Crumpet, Marmalade, Marmite etc
  24. Audiokarma wont let me register. I get told my email address is banned and they dont reply when i ask why.
  25. I demand a seperate Scottish Head-Caser of the year award. With a cash prize.
