Sansa Fuse + ATH-ESW10JPN with a Nuforce Icon Mobile hidden behind the Sansa
Can you or did you post a pic of the Nuforce unhidden? I guess I could google that for myself...

Satriani Sues Coldplay
Thank you -- at least you aren't making the classic mistake of technical virtuosity <> musical ability. But then you go and say this -- implying that just because it's the majority opinion, it should somehow influence mine.

Awesome, I thank ye. (You know the soundtrack in my head goes something like, "du-dudu-du mm-mm doh-doh mm dideh You can't touch this du-dudu-du mm-mm doh-doh mm dideh You can't touch this Dude, I'm serious, stop trying to touch this, you can't. No, I mean it. I'll mess up your hair... Everybody over here say, 'oh!' Everybody over here say, 'oh!' Okay, just the grass now, 'oh!'..."

How has your rig changed in 2008? And do you have any plans for 2009?
I thought you people were against stem cell research. KIDDING!

If, by "whole thing", you mean the entire "Dr. Horrible", then yes, but no commentary, behind-the-scenes, etc.

They sound like duct tape between the pads and the earspeakers?* *My apologies if this is a proprietary design.

2 headphones at a time
Three issues -- impedance mismatch, sensitivity mismatch, and different listening levels. So potentially you'll have an impedance mismatch, so try to pick phones of similar impedance. There could still be variations at certain frequencies that peak or dip at the same time, making things worse for the amp, and exaggerate a frequency issue that wasn't there with just one. Unlikely, but potentially a problem. Sensitivity issue -- same results, slightly different cause (albeit related). Listening levels -- previously discussed and self explanatory, I would hope. We actually had this problem when we were doing some listening tests with an EAR headphone amp. The Sennheisers were much less sensitive than the Grados, so the person listening to the Sennheisers was at a disadvantage at being able to hear differences, much less anything. I have a reputation for listening at an entire notch lower than anyone else, but the difference was too much even for me. So don't think that you can necessarily cancel out the third problem with a judicious choice of headphones.

Some Test Results (SE vs Balanced vs Portable SE)
Okay, so you just multiplied everything by a constant -- that's not the same as digital compression normalization.

Stupid pheasant. Or quail. Or whatever it is.

I disagree, they're plug'n'play if you buy a system (earspeaker/amp combo).
