You can't select any more than one frequency (I don't mean select yes/no; I mean select as in I want this one at 2134Hz, and this one at 2233Hz, and this one at 2345 Hz, etc.), though, can you? To me, it sounds like the GS-1000 has 2 or 3 peaks and valleys real close together in a rather important frequency region.

May I just be the first to say: did you try hitting yourself on the back of the head with a shovel? good luck with that. Floorstanders don't take up that much more room than bookshelfs/monitors...if you put them up on stands. Have you tried it? Just bring them into the middle of the room, and listen to them nearfield. It'll give you an idea if you're heading in the right direction. You may reconsider your "no room treatments in '09" stance, too. Did you try plugging the ports with old socks/ERS paper holebungs? Spendor's S3/5's sound great nearfield, if only at modest volumes. JM Labs Tantal 509's sound great near-ish field (a couple feet away), and I have them backed into corners -- but that may be what you consider boomy. The bass is well...present. I've had the Dynaudio Special 25's corner loaded with the holebungs in place -- sounded great, but then I'm definitely a basshead. Mebbe I should just stay out of this thread.

Not bad for wireless. Will check wired later.

Good luck with that, Al.

Both with (roughly) the same amount of right leg up. I think what threw me (although for only a minute or so) is that it wasn't funny, just interesting.

Dude, that is by no means complicated. I'm talking multiple variable-width, frequency-selectable ranges that only a computer could control, no set of knobs would be sufficient (that I'm aware of). I mean, yeah, it's Grado's most comfortable headphone, but...just not worth the effort.

Yeah -- the difference in what he wants and those "saved searches" is the immediateness of the response. One of those things that as soon as the item popped up, he'd be alerted. I'd wait for web 2.0. Me, personally, I just sign up to paying more for the item.

I was thinking of EQ'ing it to where I'd like before judging, but then I don't know of any EQ's that complicated.

I'm thinking it might not be linear like that.

I guess it depends on what the truth behind the stories are. Right now it reads as a he-said/he-said type argument. There are certain computer hacker types I'd like to take a napalm to.

Probably because it was designed before anyone other than Headroom was balancing headphones on the then-named Blockhead. It hadn't really caught on yet. I wonder if it could be rewired to do so. It should just be a matter of taking different leads off the transformer, neh? I doubt you'd want to do it as is, as they're designed for different impedances.

If 120mm are quieter than smaller fans, I wonder how much quieter a 120cm fan would be?

What? No, I mean getting your own receiver. (Web access shouldn't be a function of where you are.) And: I have no idea.

Nate -- have you thought about satellite? Download speeds are supposed to be great (which is fine for browsing), upload speeds are atrocious. Mac on a 100: and Windows on a 1G:

Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem theoretically -- you only need USB1.0 for 24/96. I have had other problems though (not with USB, the bottleneck was the bus).

I heard that there was a middle period of bassy ones that was supposedly targeting the US market, so early ones and late ones are the good ones. I think older ones of the non-bassy variety sound better just because they're burned in moar. No, I don't know the numbers. Stephen might.

What you are looking for is "web mining" or "web scraping". But I have a feeling they're going to charge you a lot more than you'd be willing to pay. From a brief look-see, it looks like they're targeting not the buyer for this, but the seller, in terms of establishing a market price for a new product. The problem with this "hourly" stuff is that most sites don't like their sites being constantly searched by monkeys and lackeys that frequently. Once a day, maximum, please.

Does it know the words? Okay, sorry, I had to get that out of the way. What happens if you leave your receiver off and turn the ht bypass on? And I assumed you tried disconnecting the receiver from the pre, and verified that the hum went away (since you're blaming the receiver). If not, do so. Also try cranking up the volume on silence. Also, how are things plugged in electrically (all on the same strip, etc.)?

Oh, hey, look at that, they changed the description (it used to say 1920x1200). I guess I wasn't the only one. So that leads me to this: so you-all know I've been drooling over my coworker's 2560x1600 monitor, and it makes sense in my case to "settle" for 1920x1200, but how does that work with DVD's and stuff? I mean, there's that whole thing about refresh rate in televisions, and 60Hz vs 120Hz (try googling), but most LCD computer monitors don't go up much past 60 Hz. And I'm not sure they do any of that "3:2 dropdown" stuff, anyway. Anyone have any ideas/recommendations?

Loudness is usually measured relative, not absolute.
