  1. I wonder how it would go with my ATH-ESW9s, that I also don't know why I bought (but I'm happy I did). ooooh. Nate, whatcha building? I just dropped way too much money on three-month package (3X weekly) with a personal trainer at her home. I've worked out my whole life, but after my last ankle surgery, got lazy, got busy, got lazier, and then turned into a potato-chip-munching slug. I'm not fat, but my muscle tone is crapola and I have hips I never had before. I finally decided that I need a kick in the ass so my ass doesn't get any bigger. Sad, but money on the line tends to motivate me. I'm actually excited. If I have to be 47, that's fine with me, but I refuse to limp into middle-life all flabby and accepting. Ain't happening. Going to meet with her now. Gonna sell some gear later.
  2. Is hell comfortable these days?
  3. As long as you don't break out the Umbrella song for reviews, congrats! I tried listening to them once, but had to hold them to my ears. Not good.
  4. Can't be done. They're lost in a AT mid-range suck out somewhere, though mine's only an upper-mid minus.

    Poor Satie. :'(
  6. That would tickle I suspect. So Salty, better get some impressions going here. We're ruining your thread while waiting.
  7. Wow. Looks like he had to shave everything to get in that costume. Wonder how long that took. [/thread derail]
  8. I'm having a beautiful vision of these three stooges representing a couple of penguins in flannel shirts. Reks, wanna write the script for this scene?
  9. Hmmm. This is an interesting post. Congrats on the new amp, Salty. I've heard Thrice's beta twice now and was very impressed, moreso this last time, but coulda been I wasn't listening with those Denons, and had my beloved Senns on.
  10. very cryptic They'll be my work headphones, though since I'm lounging in bed right now, I'm thinking they aren't too bad here. My other headphones are too large to be comfy with a pillow. These are just right. They aren't in the same league sq-wise as my other headphones, but for work, they'll be perfect.
  11. Nice. If you can't find a way to listen to them at home, I'm gonna seriously worry about you. I got my ATH-ESW9s today. For portable headphones, these sound damn good. I'm pretty happy, and I haven't been happy with a headphone purchase in a very long time.
  12. Here's the deal re 744 from Phil. It's his preferred opamp for the PRII. http://www.ipastudio.com/forums/showpost.php?p=20456&postcount=1
  13. I'm supposed to be buying Christmas gifts for family, but so far they've all been for me Got the ATH ESW9s today. For what they are, I like them a lot. Grand Engima, I agree with you on the PRII. Congrats. Which version did you get? I'm assuming the 744. I've never heard it, and am quite curious. I have the 8620, which I like enough to say, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
  14. Okay, not really worthy of a thread, but that's never stopped me before. I found this rather curious. Anyone bored enough to try? http://www.householdhacker.com/?p=7
  15. A must for everyone's holiday reading list. I have to buy a new one every year because I always give mine away. My fav story is "Dinah the Christmas Whore." It's really very touching as well as being hilarious.
  16. I've listened to it with K1000s and preferred both the F1 and Sig 30 to it. That was before Craig tweaked it some more, so I'm not sure how it sounds now. IIRC, he designed it around the K1000s, so it should be sounding pretty sweet about now.

    Oh yes. Thanks. I was going to add a pic I took of my neice and nephew playing in the ocean to rub it in for everyone (you can get me back come summertime), but since I'm easily distracted, here's this instead:

    ooops. I went to add something to my post and accidentally deleted it. Self-abuse mod style Don't remember the original now. Time to go to bed.
  19. I got you covered. See, some of us still think of others.... Meanwhile, I was just readying myself to curse at John when he pretends his cell phone is going dead. "Hello? hello? I hate my cell phone." That's what he said. Likely story.
  20. Congrats! Nice purchase!
  21. Bah. Like I'm not buying a ticket to California sooner! I want in on Langerado this year. I'm actually not working for the first time in four years on Friday and Saturday. Also, I'm picking up two tickets Eric Culberson next week? Do you want in? I'll get more. John, you bastard, call me! I don't have $1500, but I still want first crack if reasonable, if that high price is a lie.
  22. Hey, I called dibs on those. You're breaking the Florida rules, which is punishable with whatever our ramshackle quorum can come up with at the time of assembly. Calling Gene, Matt, Mike and Wayne! We've got a traitor, selling out friendship for bucks!

    Dusty, drinking isn't necessary for the good times. I may be the only member of Team Sober in Florida, but I represent well, and have as much or more fun as the rest. Good to know
  25. John forgot to mention that it's a great PS1 amp as well Nice to know that you still have it, since you go through gear faster than anyone I've ever known. It is a pretty special amp, imo, based on the few times I got to hear it, and that was before recent tweaks. Tell Al to get planning for February, so I can book my ticket.
