The stock D5000 & up would have to sound pretty different than the D2000s for me to even consider using them as the starter phone. The whole thing reminds me of Darth Beyers, where most seem to end up happier starting with a better headphone to begin with. The D2000s are probably the least neutral phone I've heard.

FYI it looks like they are scrapping Speak No Evil Music Matters release. They are replacing it with Wayne Shorter's JUJU album. This was from an Elusive Disc email sent to me.

good lord.

Thank you all

It really would be a whole lot easier, as opposed to the mandatory bloodletting if they dont.

noice

No. I think its all but vaporware at this point.

lol @ bottom right

In my experience it cant touch HD650s (only full size can in my possession currently) in terms of long-term comfort or soundstage, being closed and supra-aural. Everything else is at least as good though. I do wish the cord was about two feet longer. I used to have D2000s. These spank them. Hard.

I'm not arguing the intelligence was wrong, I'm arguing that everyone believed it at the time. If I were president, and given that information, I would have invaded too. As would Hilary and Kerry, who were both on record believing the intelligence. At the time, the choices were to believe the reports or take Hussein's word for it. I have friends and classmates in the marines, and their lives aren't trivial to me. Believe it or not, some of them side with Bush on the matter. I'm not blindly defending Bush, I'm attempting to weigh the positive and negative, something you've repeatedly refused to do. I've already stated he did things that pissed me off. But following flawed intelligence reports is not something I hold against him personally, as there was bipartisan support for the war at the time of invasion, and no amount of emotional pandering will change that.

Well every republican voter I know is pretty pissed off at the spending that occurred under Bush. Some to the point of calling him a bad president, but not all. The basic argument for the spending is obviously that those in charge felt it necessary, and put safety above all else. "Spend now or spend far more later". To me, Bush was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. Had he not used all the resources available to him to prevent terrorist attacks, and had a repeat performance of 9/11, it would be political suicide. That said, I'm disappointed myself, but not to the point of considering him among the worst of the worst. People seem to forget the evidence presented of WMD's, and Hussein's own history of biological weapons. Pretty convenient. Its also a bit odd to me to pretend that a democrat would not have spent similar money, even if in different fields. The global warming thing became a runaway train in the press, and probably would have spawned significant damage if mandates and spending grants were given out. That too would be ridiculous to some, less ridiculous to others, the same way defense spending is now. With all the attention given to "pork" these days, its my hope that both sides of the isle will get with the program. Hopefully we can get the "Google for government" people are talking about.

oldie but a goodie

Yes. According to reports, the older ones had sleeving that became brittle and cracked. Maybe dry is the wrong phrase. I'll go with brittle. Brittle is good.

Old models = conduit that dries, cracks. New models = supposed revisions to conduit.

Just Fucking Google It

For that money, I'd really like to see a different headband. Something like the L3000, so it doesnt look like you have a roof antenna on your head.
