Oh shit, thought just crossed my mind -- what laserdisc do you have, not The Space Movie, is it?

You didn't find them different? I found the HE60's more "rock and roll" than the HE90's, IIRC. They also amp quite differently -- what's better for one is not necessarily better for the other.

Maybe they wouldn't bitch if you fucking pleased them.

Yeah, except IIRC, the boxed set one is bandwidth limited (by the nature of the matrix encoding). But you're alright if you have the recent box set, because I think there's a surround mix on there, isn't there? Just not the original one.

Oh yeah, those things are great. Oh, in that case, no.

Happy Birthday!

Dude, just sell them, then you won't have to listen to their fucking bitching.

Zero SACD? So you don't have the SACD of Tubular Bells with the quad mix?!?!?

Yeah, I flip off my gear, too. I went to Leesburg outlet mall (it's like a flea market, only upscale) and bought hardly anything.

I Secret Meeting

From elsewhere:

Did you want to mention that it looked different? Or did you conclude that they just ran out of black?

I watched Justin mod my headphones. I mean, I learned about modding headphones from Justin. Still not as good as the T50's. But this was the first pass; there will be others.

HP Firebird? HDMI and Dual-Link DVI video outputs.

That's awesome, except that's good jazz, you need to torture them. Play them some Zorn or something. There are some great stories on the web of what to say to telemarketers -- yes, far beyond, 'can I call you back at your dinner time'. Things like: "oh thank god you called, I was about to kill myself" "I'm kind of busy right now, can I call you back...hey, you might know, do you think I clip the red wire or the blue wire?" "whatever you're selling -- can I pay for it in food stamps? If so, I might be interested" "do you have to get up in the middle of the night to pee? Frequently?"

The most bizarre food I've ever eaten is sushi. I know, I'm boring; do you know what? Fuck you. I'm not eating a fucking bug.

AudioCubes link So it's kind of like an IV of bass.

So you can get paid to do nothing? Without the frustration factor that causes your basement to fill? What's not to love?

WEGman's English Breakfast, and at Wegman's. Is very good, need to go make some nao.

LP's -- 'Wowsers' is right. SACD's -- Wowsers again, I don't think even I have that many. Are there really that many different ones, or are there some duplicates in your collection?

That Lamy Safari looks very nice. Even the nib is black, huh? I might have to give that a try. I have a couple of friends who are into fountain pens, and've never understood the attraction, but have been curious enough to give it a try. I might just have to follow suit.

No, not really (I am agreeing with the rest of your post here) -- there is only one kind of neutral, anything else is ...well, not neutral. I know what you meant, -- that there is this thing which people incorrectly hear as neutral, but...it's just not neutral. 'Suck' (as in certain frequency range suckouts) is probably a better word for what you're trying to describe, but after all the K701 talk (I remember liking them, but I also remember finding them not doing anything that any of my other headphones did), I'm not going to specifically ascribe those to the K701, since I obviously remember them differently.

Wouldn't that sink your boat? And what is your boat doing in Oklahoma? I have over 5,000 CD's (probably thousands more), and over 2,000 records.
