It's not because we assume you did stuff wrong, it's because we're not warm and fuzzy that you don't. I mean, don't take that as a permanent criticism -- we realize you're still "cutting your teeth" when it comes to taking headphone measurements. When your measurements start reflecting our experiences, then we'll start putting stock in them. Maybe (some people will never). Of course, I remember seeing the measurements of a pair of ...what was it, the AKG K1000's? And they looked like crap. You know, Headroom have their own faraday cage/sound isolation room. I'm not sure what type of measurement microphones they use, though. And you do realize "measurement microphones" are a special class of microphone, and that you can't just use any old microphone, right?

HD800? Another rumor?
They probably have ones that have suction cups on the bottom already. But you'd need a really smooth wall. Like a window, perhaps. Or a mirror, if you don't want your neighbors to see your...headphones.

The W5000 box is nice, I wonder if it is valenced?

Any opinions on the Pro-Ject Headbox II SE
I doubt most of us have heard a SCD-XB940QS -- you're in Europe somewhere?

What did you do today?
...until you get that HD800.

New Year, new diet!
A lot of times those cravings are a result of missing a nutrient from your diet -- so if you're not feeling hunger pangs, then try to stick to what you're doing, it's probably right. There are also longer term nutrients that you don't need to have on a daily basis, so don't take that as gospel, still monitor your own well-being and adjust accordingly. There's also nutrient interactions (protein earlier in the day reduces the craving for carbohydrates later in the day, etc.), so...there ya go.

Post the last thing you bought!
Me: Approx 3 TB of disk space. Yeah, that way if you ever sell it, you can "restore" it to its original condition.

The Orthodynamic Thread
I'm driving them with the Radii HAP-02 (MG Head clone) okay. A little "cupped" sounding, but they're unmodified.

Your recent music purchases
Depeche Mode? Oh, Death Magnetic...I'll give it a listen. I said "maybe" on Load, mostly because I really don't remember it. I do still have it, so if I stumble across it while going through my CD's, I'll give it a listen. I didn't mind the transition from AJFA -> the black album so much -- I mean, at least it had some great hooks -- as the transition from the black album -> Load -> Reload. Load and Reload lost all sense of "the hook", IIRC.

Your recent music purchases
St. Anger is better than Reload...and probably Load, too.

HD800? Another rumor?
Here's one just for you Billy:

Updated my resume'. Welcome to the world of "I forget to set a deadline".

Post the last thing you bought!
Thanks for the info. No, not really, I was just kidding around.

HD800? Another rumor?
Wide (I.E. look at the upper and lower drop-off frequencies)? Flat? Perhaps a little bump in the presence region? Perhaps a little bump in the 5kHz region (is that "air")? Perhaps a little valley in the sibilance region? There was an article I read once that gave real-world examples of what all frequency regions "mapped" to, wish I could find it again.

What did you do today?
You're right, upon re-inspection, there is no flaking. -10 observant points for me.
-
HD800? Another rumor?
Oh, is there one in each cup? Missed that. I agree with your conclusion.
-
HD800? Another rumor?
I'm betting it's the same as the AKG mini-XLR connector, although I'm not seeing the classic round button.
-
What did you do today?
So the flaking is -- burned skin? Wow, you're a braver man than I. I usually just let my natural hair color grow out before I go lighter, and then I don't go much lighter (I'm usually going darker than my natural hair color).

HD800? Another rumor?
I mean that not only will the reviews be positive, but that the reviewers will be figuratively creaming themselves. And no, I hate bukkake scenes, but one can't be it's hard to be on the internet, male, and not know what it is. If only so one knows what to avoid.
