  1. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-37927781 Cuba being paranoid? Middle East is going to be much much worse. if possible. Nothing is impossible with Erdoğan + Trump I'm talking like as if I'm living in USA but, as many of you know USA foreign affairs policies directly effect us. Sorry for being negativistic, but it's actually being "realistic". I think he'll be worse than Bush shitholes.
  2. I feel sorry for you guys. Trump did it. Yea they are all wrong choices, and both in Turkey and USA, elections are like choosing the least bad one in a pool filled with shitholes but still... TRUMP ffs. Anyway I picked up my recabled and socketed R-50 from shipment office today. And found out the itching area under my belly button caused by stress cuz of incoming military service health control. Normally they should not take me under arms for I have bipolar type 1. But hey! It's Turkey.
  3. Well, Trump and Tayyip Erdoğan can do really good things for World together... They can fulfill Bill Burr's idea of wacking half of the world's population.
  4. Those glasses, I like them.
  5. I've tested/listened some Hifiman He line up: 400s, 560, 6 and 1000 V1. 400s has serious ergonomic and seal issues: too much pressure on the upper side, and gap between lower ear; neck and shell. And headband was a joke, hurting after 1-2 song. 400s sounded thin, most probably because of gap. (but maybe my head isn't ergonomic for it?!) 560 was okey about ergonomics (most probably because it is lighter than others) and seal, has a bit too much presurre on the upper side but not as bad as 400s ... But focus earpads? Literally cooked my head. 6 was too heavy. And same pressure problem. I guess there is nothing to say more. (could not keep it on my head for 2nd song) Only 1000 v1 was perfect. No ergonomic issue, no sealing issue, and no earpad issues. I don't care about "build quality" that much. But quality wasn't bad. What is laughable about it's build quality, I don't understand. But I highly doubt if Mr. Hifiman cares about build quality. But from massdrop drops, Re-00 was not bad, imho. But as they tried to "warm" Re-0, Re-00 became a bit muddy. So not as good as Re-0 And about HD6xx, if it sounds similar to HD650, I prefer HD600. And yes massdrop version is cheaper than 650 but adding "x"es instead of other numbers and putting "massdrop" sticker on them does not change the dark, veiled and even bit muddy sound signature.
  6. Actually, I'm literally herding them. Not that i want to do herd them but they follow me anywhere I go. And interestingly some of them listen my basic commands. I guess they see me as their leader. I sit with them while they eat, I drink coffee/tea and smoke. After that I play with them. And I can cease their fights and keep dogs and savage male cats out. I guess they respect and love me as much as I do. It started 2 years ago, "Umut" jumped off from balcony and got lost. After that we started to give the remaning cat food. After the package finished, we started to bought 15 kilos per month. Now we give 60 kilos per month. And we spend total 3-4 hours per day with them (me and my father) BTW the knees belong to my father. And really I don't do that for being good or anything like that. The hour(s) I spend with cats are like therapy for me. What I do is most selfish act that a human can do, imho. I've 3 major hobbies I spend time regularly: music, reading and them.
  7. They are like 1/3 of the herd, my good sir.
  8. We installed 1st floor's doors, they are using it more actively now, I guess its more secure. First two residents: Now, we need only fences to cover it. We'll build another one and replace the abomination at the right side.
  9. I shoud've make that clear, I did not use WYRD for sonic improvement and it did not (maybe a little, really little). I used it cuz my computer (designed for gaming) couldn't bring stable signal (too much latency) to my dac. I've tried nearly all digital connections over year(s) with different dacs, or digital chains. The differences between connections and DDCs/usb cleaners were only "nuance" differences. And believe me I've tested them blind to avoid honeymoon and placebo effects for I'm extremely skeptical. The thing we (I) don't like as I understand, if I understand correctly, you behave and talk like a vacuum cleaner salesman, who insist the vacuum cleaner he sold is way better than any others based on no useful basis. And you might be comapring your vacuum cleaner with broomstick. There is no theorical basis, and as it seems there is no practical basis which can be acceptable too. If you wanna make a point why don't you send "the interface" or whatever this is to people that can measure - theorical or hearing based (with blind test) -, and let him/her share foundings with head-case? Or send it to me, I have various digital inputs/outputs i can compare with it.
  10. Did you make any blind test? Or what you hear is just based on honeymoon and placebo effects? No it is not. If you use a transport pc just for running what you use for playback. And i use WYRD it was great. At where? On head-fi? People swim in snakeoil at there.
  11. Well done my good sir! I hope she'll end up homeless, then maybe she can emphatize with other street residents.
  12. I wanted to ask you about the progress but forgot to ask. You are so kind as you still call the bitch "lady". I wish she meet the reaper by claws of (big) cats. Yeah, I know it is nature but, why an animal kills another that they won't eat?
  13. We lost 4th cat today in one week. I burried them all and they are all shreded by dogs as it seems, dead cats were in gardens of blocks. So WTF is wrong with dogs? I called the municipal authorities today, and they said that they cannot do anything. Any advice guys?
  14. With their huge false ego, i bet they love their farts and shits too. So not far away i guess... I felt before my curiosity once again and i asked to my friends to find me Diarrhea, aka. Liquid Carbon. I'll get it soon and listen it for 1-2 weeks min. And no i'm not a masochist.
  15. Watching Rob Roy now. I do not now if it's scenario based on true story or not, but it's like another "Robin Hood" story, pretty good too.
  16. It'd be nice, IF low distortion defines the quality of the sound. I found These on a site, which name is so obvious that I don't need to give it. And I assume from your post, Dr. Kevin you saw that too: Well, he describes O2 as "transparent-fi"... along many other things he knows... Impressive. I'm not sarcastic for this question, I'm asking this cuz I don't know really: Isn't 280ppV little bit low for a measurement of an amp which allegedly can go as high as 1600ppV? And numbers again... i guess THD measurements replaced 80's RMS... And I guess i have a pretty bad DAC, noone knows it's THD... MHDT Lab gives so little tech info about their products... But I must have shitty ears cuz i love my Atlantis. For I cannot hear that low THD numbers, I must have pretty bad ears, so I don't want to hear anything below %0,1 THD for i cannot hear anyway. It's bullshitness is so obvious, why people can not see it I don't understand. Don't care about THD, it means no effing thing below one zero IMHO. As I know you have Sr-207. Can you hear the distortions at 20Hz, 200Hz and 2kHz?
  17. If you don't like using USB, then why don't you simply use a DDC? Less pain in the ass than your method, and you get to use outputs/inputs suit well for digital audio data transmission...
  18. Thank you for doing all those things. Really... For the father, all of my cats that i took care was street cats. And the cats I'm taking care, as you can guess, are street cats. Patience solves all problems. Some cats started to trust me immediately, some took their time. Yesterday I counted the cats at 4:00 pm meal, I counted 35 cats. And only 2-3 of them show antisocial behavior against other cats. Most probably you already know what I'm telling but I just wanted to remind, I guess. Sitting beside him while he eats can hasten the progress. If you have some free time ofc. I'm talking like I'm the expert of taking care street animals but please don't take me as smartass. I just want to help as much as I can. Thanks again.
  19. After Theodore Millon et. al. - Personality Disorders in Modern Life, I immediately started to read Hervey Cleckley - The Mask Of Sanity. The way he analyze the antisocial personality disorder or so called psychopathy is easily understandable cuz he uses stories of patients or epicrises. Can be interesting read if you are interested in psychology. And it can be found as pdf on web, legally.
  20. Good to know... And good luck with Mom. Do you know the people who adopted the kitten? Or will you make them sign any legal document?
  21. Since we have our own topic i want to contiune from here. The shelter is nearly finished. Only doors are not installed cuz they should use to use it first and the weather is not bad yet. Here are the latest photos: Before: After: And the doors: And here are some of our fellas eating: Good things happen too. Well it's not completely finished but, it became completely useable. Again i'm open to any suggestion of improvements.
  22. Sandra Sue Benson Animal Adoption Center Just Google this and made a comment about what happened on Google, even if 5-6 people do that, people who Google the name of the institution will see the comments. And those comments can be seen on Google Maps too. It can be very effective.
  23. I found the institution on google and gave 1 star and made a comment about what happened. If any more things i can do, let me know. Ffs, i thought these kind of things happens only in Turkey... You should sue their asses.
  24. I'm so pissed off... Normally i'm against hitting any living creature. But wtf?!?!?!??! Recently a kitten died on my lap, cuz we couldn't act faster, and the it still punishes me as i remember the scene. How the f.. can someone euthanize kittens? She deserves to be get fired. Anything i can do about it from Turkey? If you can start a online campaign on change.org or any other websites, i can sign and make people sign. Or any other thing...
  25. I feel good when i see people care about animals. And i feel happier after this message of yours. Good to know there are people in forum whom i can ask for advice when i need.
