  2. Michelangeli - Grieg concerto, Debussy preludes
  3. Wow, that's exactly what happened to me! Stung in the back of the neck. Definitely hurt like a bitch. Hope you feel better soon, Dinny.
  4. RIP Myron. Nice pics, all. Jin makes me curious about shooting film...
  5. Michelangeli - Beethoven Emperor
  6. No argument from me there and headroom is nice, but I don't understand why volumes would be higher for speakers... why wouldn't they be similar? I actually find it the opposite case for me, I like listening at low levels with speakers. Edit: Well if you factor in distance it makes sense, actually.
  7. Anyone want to send a pair to me for review, go right ahead.
  8. I think pee bottle may become the new penis gourd. More on Malodrax: Found malodrax's sex doll story on another site lmao - Bodybuilding.com Forums Blog 3: The Home Made Sex Doll
  9. Yup, as we all know impedance can vary drastically with frequency in speakers, but it's more tame in headphones due to needing only one driver and no crossovers so usually dynamics have got a hump in the resonance frequency range and then slowly rises with frequency due to inductance. Edit: Oh wait, nvm. That second statement is exactly my pet peeve. It can 'drive' them since it does get loud enough. It's the other factors that are lacking.
  10. I think you are overcomplicating things. If you want more volume, you will need more output power to prevent clipping/distortion/compression. Whether that be extra voltage swing or more current depends on the load. If you don't listen that loudly, you will never use that extra power. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine when people say certain amps "can't drive" certain headphones or speakers, when in reality it is most likely the other characteristics of the amp that they don't like. But then again, given some comments of dumbasses I've read over the past couple days, I guess a large number of people really do listen at what I would consider ridiculous levels, but what they would consider "live" so I guess they do need that much power. Bridging not only can double voltage swing, it doubles output impedance and slew rate. Granted, the output impedance of the NAD is probably small so that shouldn't make much difference, but it definitely makes a difference in OTL designs with inherently high output impedance already (no to minimal NFB). How the amp handles different loads is definitely important, but for normal dynamic/ortho headphones, no more than a couple hundred mW (measured into the load! is ever needed. Do correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.
  11. An amp needs to get "loud enough", past that is overkill and there may be issues like noise floor. Given an actual 810mW max power going into the 91dB/mW LCD-2 means 120dB peaks, and 2W means 124dB peaks. I wonder about the WA22 though, if it's really just a balanced WA2 then I wonder what the output impedance is and thus how much power is being transferred. Regardless, I'm pretty damn sure the stock tubes can output 200mW into the 62 ohm K701, and with its sensitivity of 93dB/mW means 116dB peaks. Edit: As in the maximum a K701 is rated to play at is 116dB. Shave a couple dB off all the above numbers just in case and you still have mind-blowingly loud sound.
  12. I guess you must like a rounder instead of boxier sound.
  13. Epic chassis is epic.
  14. Argerich - Prokofiev 3, Ravel concerto, Gaspard de la Nuit
  15. Good luck to your friend! Sounds right. Some people are a bit afraid to strike cleanly and decisively in the beginning, but that's what the armor is for, and smacking people with a bamboo stick is what kendo is for. Good stress reliever.
  16. You'd have to become an 8-dan through rigorous testing and training, minimum age 46. Then go to Japan, go to the best bogu craftsman and ask him to make you one with the finest materials. The millions would be in yen, but hey, that still ain't no chump change.
  17. Yup, they usually have gear for you to borrow. Bogu (the armor) may not fit perfectly since they are meant to be fitted exactly to your measurements, but it works, and you probably won't even get to using it for the first couple months. Getting a shinai for practice is super cheap, like $20-30 shipped. Buying bogu is a lot more expensive, if you want a decent one it's $500-700 and if you really want you could spend thousands.
  18. I wish I had started earlier, going to have almost no time to commit to it this year but I wanted to test for rank and compete and stuff. Thinking about starting?
  19. Michelangeli - Rach 4, Ravel concerto
  20. penis gourd.
  21. NSFW Worst possible "date" ever...I don't even... FML (serios) - Bodybuilding.com Forums
  22. Needed to amend my previous statement. Just ran through most performances of Rach Prelude Op. 23 No. 5 on youtube and Gilels is indeed the best. The worst "good" players being Kissin and Lang Lang. Prokofiev, even with his extremely wobbly tempo, manages to make it creepy as fuck in favor of grandeur.
  23. I tend to go by musician rather than label when it comes to classical. Going to listen to some ATOS trio now (the CD we got at the concert):
  24. I just realized you have to be logged into HF to view these... pics downloaded for future reference.
