What do waffles have to do with sex? Sorry, hippy, I don't swing that way.

Another Question of Aesthetics
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.

10 minutes of research and Jude from head-fi is revealed for who he really is...
No, actually I was referring to Cartman. Unless you mean that Cartman was calling you a dick.

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.

Why does his arm look like a penis?

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.

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.

Question: Should we bother with phase...?
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.

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?

He specifically asked in the context of headphones.

Koss ESP-950
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...

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).

Question: Should we bother with phase...?
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]).

I think it's time to mix it up...
Disregard my comment -- every time I read GS-1, I think GS-1000. The GS-1 won't need returning, I don't think. GS-1 == amp; GS-1000 == headphones -- you would think I would be able to tell them apart, even in ASCII.

Question: Should we bother with phase...?
It should have gone under 'Miscellaneous'. That was the whole point to that forum. Things like synergy and polarity and how moving one's jack causes your DAC to go out of whack.

Make sure you can return it.
