What about externals, will the firmware fix fix externals?

Actually, looking at the article, the firmware update applies to it as well. The problem is that I already installed one, so they might charge me a restocking fee. (newegg) I'll return the other one, though.

Damn, and I just got two of the 1.5's that are freezing (original story linked me to the story).

I saw on head-fi that you guys were also waiting on my impressions of the T40RP MkII's, so here they are: they're good. Yeah, I know, overly concise to the point of useless, but (a) they're not even burned in yet, and ( not sure about the amplification, will take my Supra++ home this weekend and give it a more extended listen, and © I don't have any prior ortho experience, so can compare it to no other ortho's other than the T50RP which I got at the same time. I'm not even sure I have a Mk II of the T50RP (curved vs. flat pads? I'm not sure I understand...). So you-all will have to settle for pictures.

Air, Virgin Suicides soundtrack -- melancholy, mellotron-y.

Well then, maybe he's just being persnickity, I don't know. EDIT: Or is that before the transformers? Do Raidho's even have transformers?

I will be checking them out, but not planning on buying anything.

I oftentimes have dinner for breakfast, sometimes I have lunch for breakfast. Then I have lunch at dinnertime, and foods usually associated with breakfast for "midnight snack". And then for tea, I have well tea, actually. As in the drink. As in, it's not a meal. For me.

I didn't get the impression from the article that "being sidetracked" had anything to do with it -- it sounds like he constantly has multiple projects going on. The issues were twofold -- he had heard that same study about magnets close to the head issue, and is looking into it (also shielding, and then the weight problem); and amplification (ribbons, of course, require special amplification) -- I'm assuming it's the same issue as with ribbon speakers -- I.E. the low impedance presented across the frequency spectrum, but have not received confirmation.

I have a thermal undershirt on today, because the office gets cold after 7 or so (I think they turn the heat down). I'm comfy for now. Wow, that was poetic. Nice imagery.

Anyone know how to check Dell's Deal of the Day?

According to this page (buried in the last paragraph), he hasn't forgotten about them. But the news is not good. I still say Smeggy should test them out.

What is this superfelt? Is this some sort of extra special acoustic felt, or is it just a certain type of felt that I can pick up at the local G Street Fabrics?

The response I got from Alex echoed the response that Srajan got initially, so I wouldn't be surprised if his interest waned again.

China scoops us C'mon, that thing is hot -- asymmetrical enclosure, with a yin/yang aspect to it (see the pic on the third page), Raal ribbon tweeters... Want. No, wait, I want the Raal omnis: linky. Damnit...

see bottom of page I've actually known about these since October, but missed the fact that it was public information.

Mystified, Pulse Ringer Pieces -- fell in love with this ambient music via Magnatune. (Actually, I haven't bought this yet, but it's imminent.)

Condolences. I just brought my mom home from the hospital and got my allergy shot. I could come to hate these, I always feel like crap for days afterwards.

If the third party was a licensed escrow service, no, but if he's just a random so-and-so, yes -- trust. What if something happens to the amp between when SP lets it go and the owner receives it -- who is responsible?

What about the Crystal Clear speakers? You guys are worthless.

I hate when that happens...when my arms fall off in the middle of doing push-ups...

You guys... I do have access to a camera with a decent macro, but I don't know how soon I will be able to have access to it, so, again, I'll see what I can do. I've never taken a headphone apart before. I'm scared. Hold me.

I follow a lot of music-related pop culture, and I even I don't care about the rock 'n' roll hall of fame.

(le sigh) Not sure I have any cameras with a decent macro...(which I only just learned about this weekend is a requirement to take the kinds of pictures you-all're looking for)...
