F1GTR

That is a great part II to his review. It had been so long since the first part that I was pretty certain we would never see this. Anyhow, after reading his review and the impressions here and on head-fi, all of the opposition is making really want to try the GS1K's to see where I fall. I've also still yet to experience the RS-1. I took the HF-1 -> HP2 -> PS1 path and skipped a few steps in between. Hearing those two is on my list of things to do but that damn elusive Qualia still ranks highest at the moment.

Congrats Elephas! Excellent photo's. Thanks for sharing. Out of all the top headphones I've yet to hear(HE90, HE60, L3000, OII, Qualia) the Qualia's rank #1 on my list, probably because of my love for all things electronica and how I read that they excel there in almost every review. Hopefully sooner than later I'll be able to see if I fall in to the love em' or leave em' camp.

x3 What a fucking joke. $1500+ for some RS-1's. The smell from that bullshit is thick.

That dumbass is over on the rock grotto forum, where he goes by "el Rickamundo". The epitome of fucktard.

Fresh out of the oven Krispy Kremes.

Well I would hope so, considering it's a 5 figure amp. Although it still doesn't look like one IMO.

I really need to hear one of these Singlepower amps so I can see what all the fuss is about. I don't know of any other manufacturer that has such staunch defenders, including Sennheiser. The one thing that has always kept me away from ordering one of Mikhail's units is the absolute ridiculous amount of upgrade options. IMO there's just too much to choose between and leave one indecisive. Couple this with all the recent accounts of people needing to have their amp looked over once more after it's been shipped, and this just isn't a good look. They seriously must be incredible in the sound department for the same people to continue to put up with these delays, and occasional qc issues, over and over again. So is the 20 hexbolt assembly an additional build option? I keed, I keed!

Thanks for the welcome. Damn those political ice caps. Too bad I couldn't have gone out on something a bit more substantial. I should have made my last thread C.S. Lewis Jr. supports Ron Paul for 2008. Anybody a Mr. Show fan? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44glqYGWZQA]C.S. Lewis Jr. Patriotic Country Singer[/ame]

Me too. You can tell head-case has a much better vibe just by reading through a single thread. The nice thing is that the majority of those I liked on head-fi are already here.

Thanks man! It was pretty cool to see McLaren take 1/2 in Italy but overall a pretty boring race. That pass Hamilton put on Kimi at the end was pretty awesome though.

Yeah it's too bad. He's dominated the debates but the American public isn't getting to see that via the establishment media. Sly isn't a bad idea. After seeing that gruesome trailer for the new Rambo film I'd say he's competent, at least more so than Arnie.

Yeah it really is interesting seeing head-fi's interpretation of what they deem to be unsuitable. It literally changes on a daily basis and is clearly specific to the user in question. I'm probably going to give my vote to Ron Paul this year but I'm all for seeing a Democrat take office as long as it isn't Hillary. Obama's got the "Oprah factor" kicking for him now so that should definitely give him an advantage.

If I start vaporizing instead of combusting may I please be allowed back?

Yeah I thought I would clear that up because it was apparent just how many had come to the same conclusion. I was never one for l33t speak. I missed that generation by a few years.

Ok cool. I was hoping he was still reachable at times. Hopefully he'll drop by from time to time.

Excellent. I was probably pissed off at something that had to do with that place and made a blanket statement you may have taken offense to. I remember you from over there and know that nothing I said was ever directed at you. Many people confused my screenname there as a play on the word FIGHTER, which I didn't even realize until a few months ago when someone called me that in a thread. Funny thing is that it has nothing to do with that, although I can obviously now see it. F1 stands for Formula 1 as I've been a huge fan since 1993 and the GTR is for the McLaren GTR which in 2004, when I registered at head-fi, was one of the cars I was currently obssessing about.

Thanks for the tip and the welcome. I'll look it over. I know exactly what you mean by wading through the muck on head-fi. Too many 14 year olds joining over the last two years taking away from any substance the forum used to have "back in the day". So has GoRedwings19 found this place yet? I missed Mikey over at head-fi. Has anyone spoken to him in the past year? What about you Reks? I remember you two were tight when he had you lend me those HP2's that one time.

Thanks man. I sincerely apologize for never getting back to you on that last PM you sent me over there. I appreciated your input on the subject.

They've had it out for me for quite some time now. I've been on their shitlist for probably over a year and they were just hoping and praying for the slightest little enfringement so they could officially give me the boot. Late last night before heading to bed I created a thread in the Member's Lounge concerning this article about an arctic ice cap twice the size of the UK melting in the last week. Apparently an environmental issue affecting everyone is construed as political in their fascist realm. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2007/sep/04/climatechange The thread had five replies in under ten minutes and then poof it was gone from the main page with no explanation. Each time I've posted something "controversial" according to head-fi standards I've at least been notified as to why it was being pulled, but not this time. DanG and his stupid fucking cigar deleted it. He was the only moderator logged in at the time. So as a personal fuck you I posted the thread once again. This time it stayed up for at least 30 minutes, but I went on to bed after that. This morning I get up and go to log in and it says the usual "F1GTR logging in" but then takes me to a screen where it says "banned" and date lifted: never. So then I check my email and I find this patronizing bullshit in that oh so typical head-fi fashion. I love the "I hope you can understand" line. Ryan, You have been permanently banned from Head-Fi following your posting of a political thread. You've repeatedly broken the rules at Head-Fi, you have been warned many times (most recently just one month ago, specifically about politics), and you've even been temporarily banned on one occasion. If the moderating staff had thought that another temporary ban would result in the cessation of your violations, we would have taken that action. But as the previous warnings and ban were not sufficient, we felt the only effective recourse available to us was a permanent ban. I hope you can understand our position and the reason behind this final action. Sincerely, DanG Moderator, Head-Fi.org So I kindly replied with a very cordial fuck off thank you note and here I am. Muchos gracias to you, Tkam, and the ten others.

Howdy people. Looks like you'll have a real forum here. I want to say thank you very much to postjack for informing me of this site. Much appreciated sir. It's officially time to add my name to the list of head-fi banees. What a relief to finally be permanently banned from that fucking fascist joke. It's painfully obvious they've been going downhill for well over two years and nothing is going to change that. Elrod-tom and DanG, if you're reading this, once again go fuck yourselves royally, especially you Tom you reject fatass. Man that feels good. I look foward to hanging out here regularly. I hope I'm welcomed here. It will be nice to have a place where opinions can actually be stated without being mysteriously deleted and whisked away to never never land. Who may I thank for creating this lovely place? Ryan
