  1. naamanf, I'm not in need of anything, but just want to say this is a pretty wonderful thing to do, plus it's nice to know you'll be home for the holidays. Happy packing!
  2. I'm quite happy with my 2900. I'm going to assume the 3910 is at least as good (I've not heard one), and that's a really good price from what I've seen. I'd try it out. If you ended up not liking it, you could easily sell it for what you paid.
  3. Since I have the technical knowledge of that block of wood, I can only say that the pics look great and I'm really impressed you're doing this at all.
  4. See what what happens when your birthday falls on a Monday! We almost missed it, but with two hours left, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
  5. No idea. They're stashed in boxes somewhere, though I'm not sure where that may be.
  6. Nice. My boss says he's going to get me one, but we'll see.
  7. Hate to say it, but without that receipt, you're probably screwed. Worth checking with ebay, but I'd get on it, and I would at least pressure Mrs. Y, and tell her that you're going to the police. Maybe she cares, and maybe not, but you've got nothing more to lose.
  8. I bought my pair when they first came out so have one of earlier ones. They do sound different from a pair I heard that was bought about 6-7 months later, with the later pair having more treble emphasis, and a bit less on the mid-bass (iirc...it's been awhile). Both sounded good, just a tad different. Neither had too much bass imo, and I'm not a basshead by any stretch. I think slwiser didn't like the bass of the earlier ones, but NightWoundsTime has a pair, and I think he's pretty pleased, and Dan's been using mine for a bit now, and might be able to comment. If you're going to use standards that compare them to excellent full-sized headphones and rigs, they are going to fall short. Yet, they are really enjoyable, excellent sounding closed headphones made for portability. I really like you can get a hard case (just bought another), where the pico fits perfectly in a pocket, with another pocket available for the usb cable or lod, and you can pop in an ipod there as well and have a compact, take anywhere great sounding rig. Got this pic off google search. It's not mine.
  9. I'd notify Mrs. Y and tell her you're filing a police report, and then do it. $2000 isn't a small sum.
  10. Yup, but get one with the PSU. It really does make a difference. As for me, curiosity got the best of me and I bought a pair of ATH-ESW10s that will be released on the 17th of this month. As you guys know, I'm a huge fan of the ESW9's sq for what they are (closed, portable, don't need no damn amp), and read that the 10s have different drivers. It's unlikely that I'll be able to hear them unless I buy them, so I figure I'll compare the two and sell the one I like least. I can't have an uber-cool set-up like Al's or Mike's at work, and these will work best for me.
  11. I still have a bunch of cassette tapes lying around somewhere, but haven't had a cassette player for years. Don't even know what I have.
  12. yes...with diced apples and walnuts. But now I remember why I don't make waffles often. It's too much of a pain to clean up to be worth it for one person.
  13. Done. Thanks for keeping things going and thinking ahead, Todd.
  14. Peter, if you like the 750s, no one here has a problem with that. Contrastique likes the 750s, has said so at every turn, and no one has a problem with that and/or her. I think you'll find that many of us have tried the 750s and/or 2500s (I owned the latter and listened to the former at a couple meets) and other Ultrasones, and don't care for them when compared to other headphones we've owned and tried. Enjoy them as you do, but I'm just going to suggest you don't try lather up your praise of them here.
  15. I bought my R10s for that price. I really like the PS1s, but that price is just insane, but then again, I think the current price of R10s is insane. Oh well.
  16. Congrats, Al! I'm happily jealous of you. I have bought nothing interesting of late. Did pick up some cat food last night \
  17. Definitely want to see pics of that, Peter.
  18. Happiest of happy birthdays to you!
