  1. What current production Audio Technica headphones are closest in sonic signature to the leatherhead? Basically: a nice extended frequency response in both bass and high frequencies, no weird humps or lumps (at least, not extremely so); closed; smooth in the midrange, really smoov. ATH-W5000? I missed the boat on the leatherhead, and am regretting it. Yes, I could buy used, but in the meantime...

    The sheep option was included (right there at the end).
  3. Actually, it's quite common, during an accident in which one vehicle rear-ends the other, for the rear vehicle to be totalled, and for the front vehicle to be fine. Both cars are in the process of braking, which lowers their fronts and raises their backs, impacting the rear car's most damageable portion (the radiator area) with the front car's most defended portion (bumper).

    What do waffles have to do with sex? Sorry, hippy, I don't swing that way.
  5. Unholy carp! I don't think even Hirsch has that many...

    This poll is biased.
  7. Fugly means fucking ugly, wherein fucking is used as a predicate adjective adding emphasis. Bug-ugly means ugly as a bug. I have no idea what bug-ugly-fugly means, other than really really ugly.
  8. No, actually I was referring to Cartman. Unless you mean that Cartman was calling you a dick.
  9. I thought it was akwok as seen through beer goggles.
  10. God-DAMN, those are some bug-ugly-fugly dogs. "Thyroid" Oscar is the least offensive of the bunch. Sorta like watching M*A*S*H when there's nothing else on.
  11. No, but that is one fugly dog.
  12. helios multi. On sh.tv, I like Darth Vader more than Black Gold.
  13. vinyl records are made and [url= (those of us who hang out at sh.tv can ignore -- it's the same ones he posted) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poGTK5CSENY&mode=related&search= -- music video by Karl Bartos This is how I picture the head-case logo -- look at the guys in the audience, something simplified like that. Just like the main character, except with outlines on the arms. And wearing headphones. And a straightjacket. In the shape of a pretzel. Godamn, I wish I knew how to do graphics.
  14. Time to get new equipment.
  15. Thank you. And thank you Todd.
  16. And I'll be urinating in the hamper. Where THEFUCK is my white text on black background?!?!? Never mind, found it. I'll go throw the laundry in the washer and start it up.
  17. Honestly, I don't know. Yes. But there are only certain places and ways one can do it. You can do it in the DAC, because it is done in the digital realm. You can do it at the speakers -- but not if they're electrostatics -- because there is no "ground" per se. You can do it in the preamp, but only if the preamp lets you, you don't want to do it yourself between, e.g., the preamp and the power amp, or between the source and the pre, because they might be sharing a ground, etc. It's just a matter of swapping the + and the -, I.E. changing the phase of the angle 180 degrees.
  18. Dude, that's the whole point of this place. It's like the island of misfit toys -- those who get banned on Head-Fi come here to brag about it. You really are new here, and don't know how things work! dialup?
  19. !!! Really?!?!? I like the HE60, the interest in this just bumped up a notch.
  20. He specifically asked in the context of headphones.
  21. Anyone heard these? How do they compare to the Stax? At US$600, I'm almost tempted to try them, but I should save up for the 4070's that I'm going to get...
  22. Strongbad is awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0ipsbB1OYQ&search=strongbad .
  23. Two: and Gorillaz Live Note: those are cartoons. I love the mix of fake CGI characters and realistic lighting and shading (in the latter vid) and angle shots (former).
  24. Well, if you had HP-1's, it would be as simple as switching two switches, and if you had the Audio Alchemy DDE v3.0 (which I do), it would be as simple as pressing a button. More on what it would do later, but the only place it should be important is on the initial transient, and whether or not the soundwave starts with a localized pressure peak or valley. The other way just shouldn't sound "right", but because of the mind's ability to adjust, it would still sound "mostly right" (or, in the case of those of us without golden ears, "right" [and I include myself in that category]).
