  1. because lying is fun
  2. tell her you appreciate the sentiment, but that you'd rather she pick something out for you. That you trust her judgement.
  3. Shouldn't someone in the measuring contest have more than a quarter of a decimeter?
  4. 4 homeschooled kids aged 1.5 to 10.5
  5. My wife puts up with a ton. But with 4 kids, things are what they are
  6. [me=grawk]wouldn't trade being married for not being married. The loss of some things is worth it.[/me]
  7. 2 celtic ale glasses, narrow 5 oz tulips 1 7 oz brandy glass 1 case of rockstar zero
  8. The point to sponsoring a headfi ad is humor, not traffic.
  9. because you get cred based on your gear. The shuffle being the peak of hifidom.
  10. i sent a few pms, and it forgot completely about my old ones
  11. instead of "has become" it's "has always been" And we've always converted imgs to links for NSFW images. Stops aerius from becoming too big an asshat...
  12. Just trying to keep things local Don't show up somewhere, bitch about the coffee, and expect people to treat you like a god.
  13. As jacob said, just because you don't like what we tell you, doesn't mean we're stopping you from saying anything. Just like in the real world, when you're an asshat, you get treated like an asshat. Walk into a bar in dupont circle and start talking about how fags are ruining your life, and see how long people continue to treat you with respect.
  14. That'd never happen at postjack's forum
  15. The impedance is the difference between the P and the S. The S sounds better with an amp, but needs more power to drive it. But ety (and a number of other people) sell 75ohm adapters to convert ER4Ps into ER4Ss, which is why I recommend the P instead of the S.
  16. Get the ER4P instead of the ER4S, with the P, you can add a cable and get the benefits of S. As to amps, there are lots of amps that work well wtih the etymotics. I'd probably get a low gain mini3 at this point, or the headamp pico w/ dac.
  17. I mostly ran midside, so I wasn't making any decisions like that in the field. But then even when I ran matched pairs, I ran ORTF, and wasn't tweaking live.
  18. Because the listening environment is far from ideal. I was a taper for several years, and all you can do live is confirm that you're getting decent levels. Listening after the fact is better for deciding if your recording actually turned out good. And then, you'll want a better source than using the recording device. A good dac of some sort.
  19. No idea, I've never heard the etymotic H2s. The er4ps would be better, but you're not getting details in your listening while monitoring live anyway.
  20. You'll be fine with a govibe or mini3 then. Louder is all you really need in that situation. You'd lose any improvement in resolution you'd get with a better amp given those headphones.
  21. I never had that issue with on demand from comcast in reston. There are a lot of stupid settings on the hd pvr box they provide however, so you have to be careful to get the right settings.
  22. I knew what you meant, I was trying to explain to you what people were asking for. That you're using mics doesn't help at all for an amplifier recommendation. I will suggest that most AKG headphones will be nearly useless for live recording monitors, as well, as they're open designs. If you're talking about the closed akgs, then you'll be fine with the mini3.
  23. by source, they're asking what your playback device is, not what the software is you're playing back.
  24. If you like sports, or nature shows, it's definitely worth it. Otherwise, I'd say it's a tossup. There's a lot of content now, but most of it is kinda pointless.
