Red, green, yellow, massaman, or panang? Not that it matters, they're all good, I just want to know what to be envious about.

You want some cheese with that?

Heart murmurs == felt bass; I was talking about hearing bass -- I agree it's not the same as standing in front of a subwoofer at a concert, but I wear earplugs at concerts, which reduces the volume to similar levels that I listen to on headphones, if not slightly louder. So if we're talking about purely hearing the bass, I stand by my disagreement. Getting bass any louder out of headphones will only make you go deaf faster. I find headphone bass and speaker bass at the same level of listening perfectly comparable. The volumes at which one would have to listen to feel visceral bass I wouldn't dare listen at, on headphones. If I want that, I go to concerts, but I wear earplugs, so it's a totally different experience, one which I am not attempting on my home rig, headphone or speaker based listening.

[me=Dusty Chalk]shrugs off JBLoudG20 as an idiot[/me] ...which is kind of funny, considering my stance on R10's. Oh, well, such is the duality of human nature.

Yeah, exactly...so why would anyone associate them with me?

You are familiar with the inverse square law, aren't you?

Re: War of the Worlds -- one of my favourite double-record concept albums of all time. I would liken it to Alan Parsons' I, Robot in a lot of ways.

I think what Dusty is trying to say is, "I remain skeptical". And it's R10, not K1000.

Whut?!?!? Why me? They're not (entirely) black... And just because I haven't touched real boobies in longer than I care to think about, doesn't mean these will in any way suffice. I'd rather go to a strip club and pay for boobage, if only to look at.

Uh...yeah...D5000...I got it confused for that other 5000...

Really?

postpixplzkthnx And: what was wrong with Norah Jones? I know you're too busy listening to music that doesn't break up to care, but report back once you find out.

I thought it was going to be a reference to GTR:

You forgot: Denon W5000 = poor man's L3000

So you can listen to the speakers, but you can't listen to music on the speakers! Argh! :defenestration:

'tis. Or a whammy bar! Or that lever that Conan pulls for Walker Texas Ranger clips. Actually, piano black is really easy to hide fingerprints on just by not lighting them directly. In ambient lighting, they just disappear.

Welcome to Head-Case! Greatest second post ever. Alright, maybe not, but greatest one that I remember. Sorry about your thin skin and all that, but I suspect that will come later. I don't think you're going to get any crap for anything you've posted so far. Nope. I love my toaster-style enclosure.

I've got two words for you: dew eat. And then after a couple months of trying to match an amp to it (it's weirdly fickle), sell it to me. The schematic to the HA-2 is widely available, you can always build yourself another one.

Kick drum You got any you find amusing?

Yeah, it took me a couple of tries, but I finally got it right. The trick is to use the actual address of the UPS site at which you want to pick it up. And yeah, that's pretty much the reason I wanted it that way, too. That, and being able to pick it up at my convenience. USPS will also do this, believe it or not, but of course they're not going to make the information easy to find, since they'd rather you rent a box. The only downside is, it'll only work for UPS. I believe FedEx has the same service, but you would have to verify with them. UPS link The alternative is to rent a box at one of those stores, I forget which one, I think it's Mailboxes Etc., which actually let you provide a street address to shipping companies like FedEx and UPS.

I don't know how DHL does it, but with UPS, you can reroute a package -- I used to usually have them "hold for pickup" at the UPS site -- it was actually easier for me. Eventually, I just started giving them the address of the UPS store itself, give them my name, and "hold for pickup". I found that easier than anything else. Oh, and: bummer!

For some reason I thought this was the "detangle your headphones" thread.

It's missing a couple: [ame= Abduction[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFmgsydpA_U]first aid[/ame]
