Just narrowing it down better. Actually, with the way San Jose is growing, it may annex SFO some day.

Actually it's in Silicon Valley.

Does it fit in airline carryon by any chance?

California is kind of a big state. So to narrow this down, it's SFO bay area.

Happy Birthday!

Fungi had an opera for awhile. I listened to it at one of our mini-meets with my K340s. I didn't like the SQ very much and didn't feel that the opera did a good job of driving K340. The sound was thin and one dimensional. It didn't have the height and depth in the soundstage that I get with my amp. Of course, the K340 is a very hard headphone to drive. Anyway, Hiroshi can comment more on the opera than I can.

There's one fly in the ointment regarding CanJam timing. We have to miss John Fogerty, who is playing locally that weekend. At least we'll be able to see Celtic Women later in May.

Me too! Now I just have to build a stand so I can run my turntable again. Hopefully this will help motivate me to do so. (

Mapleshade CDs are quite reasonably priced and well recorded. The trick is to find performances that you like. I've been lucky, I've bought 5 or 6 Mapleshade CDs and only have 1 stinker. Also, as mentioned above, Mapleshade amp stands appear to be quite nice and are much cheaper than competitive products I've seen. I agree that the LP steam cleaner is overpriced. So their prices are a mixed bag.

Pepper jack and grilled French-style green bean omelet with some rosemary grilled potatoes on the side, both with Cholula sauce. Yum.

The current PS-1 vs. HP-1000 prices almost certainly reflect the difference in supply. The demand seems to be quite high for both.

But they don't sound like Grados. Thank goodness for that!

They should have used "Sony". Then it would be a lot more believable.

Definitely not. He's a ginsergic kind of guy!

I've been listening to my SUCKITALO adapter for several days now. It's very transparent. The difference is night and day. Without the SUCKITALO, I don't hear anything!

The Headfive is warmish, but I agree with gtp that it probably won't be better than your Pimeta. As I see it, the main reason to go to the Headfive in your case would be to get crossfeed. If you don't really want that, it's probably a lateral move. Of course, it's best if you can actually compare them and decide for yourself.

Happy Gin Day here too. Of course, you're probably in a drunken, snoring sleep by now.

No, you need to improve your communication skills. It's the responsibility of the communicater to communicate to the audience. You're failing miserably at it. I'll give you one hint though. Demeaning your audience usually communicates something other than what you are trying to get across.

He can't even though he knows it's a good idea. He has to have the last word.

I agree that the point was missed, just not by whom you think it was.

If you need to make fun of one misspelled word to bolster your point, your point must be really weak.

Somehow I can't seem to equate "wonky tone" with vilification. No headphones seem to be more polarizing that Ultrasones. The fact that many people don't like them and are vocal about it doesn't equate to vilification. Sorry.

Wow! I assume that these are 2005? Anyway, I suspect that you just spent more on a case of wine that I spent on my HP2 and adapter. I sure wish that I has something interesting enough to offer in trade for a bottle, but I no longer have anything that interesting.

After the tournament he is having, he should go pro. He can only go down from here. Besides being undersized, he's really not very athletic (compared to NBA guards), which is a bigger problem in the pros. Still, there's always a place for someone who can shoot like he can and has a feel for the game like he does.
