  1. Pigs' feet are delicious. Now I'm hungry. Lunch time.
  2. This. Though apparently I do like my headphones burned in at least 15 years.
  3. She's kinda hot. But that's not a valid reason to listen to bad music.
  4. Only listening to hi rez off a DAC1 which is better than a $5k DAC playing CDs.
  5. Yeah, but you missed the most important parts to Heart Attack Grill, the "nurse" waitresses, and the orthodynamic headphones.
  6. Mikhail was a genius! That's cool to know, so I guess it wasn't BS. Anybody with poly/teflon caps want to play around with this?
  7. Wow, I never thought about DC "biasing" a capacitor before. I looked up and found an original document from JBL on it and there seems to be at least a little bit of horseshit/random audio voodoo mixed in there but I guess could potentially work. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/storage/3/860249/page10.jpg http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/storage/3/860250/page11.jpg http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/storage/3/860252/page12.jpg He's comparing it to biasing transistors into Class A but it doesn't seem like a good analogy, since the transistor is an active device that needs to switch on if it isn't biased into class A whereas a cap is, well, passive, and "biasing" pretty much just means charging it all the way up with DC unless I'm missing something here. The piezoelectric effect seems to me like random horseshit/voodoo unless you're using ferroelectric dielectric caps, and even then I don't know how much the capacitor would actually "move". Who knows though, I haven't done the measurements, but neither has he. Needing double the capacitance and double the caps (which means double the ESR?) seems like a bad trade-off for supposedly getting rid of whatever effects dielectric absorption has, though I think I saw some other design with just a 2.2M resistor? Have you thought about implementing a Zobel network or altering phase?
  8. It didn't seem overly sour to me, I think there's a difference between sour and tart (it was tart). Also there was a good amount of peach flavor to me, and a good amount of %ABV. I was also in the furnace that is Colin's apt in the summertime, so maybe a cold drink of any kind could have satisfied me. Thanks Colin.
  9. I like the Festina Peche, it's very refreshing on a hot summer day.
  10. Japan's melody roads play music as you drive | World news | The Guardian Woot To The AP: Nice Story About Our Sale — You Now Owe Us $17.50 AP Not Amused By The Woot Story, Tries To Play The Oil Spill Card
  11. Acid Bath - When The Kite String Pops
  12. Seeing pictures of firearms is not a good thing for me right now. Good time to listen to metal.
  13. Gracias a Dios. Physics: Proton radius smaller than believed, European scientists say - Los Angeles Times
  14. On a (Mega)bus to go see some cool HCers. Internet connection is sloooooow, real time porn streaming is out of the question. At least I got a seat with an outlet.
  15. I was curious but had to start reading the review with my eyes rolled, which made it difficult to continue. Really, posting that on a headphone forum? No way. I stopped reading after that.
  16. That makes me wonder how coconut milk would do as a dielectric.
  17. I hear it's pretty painful, especially when the blades are spinning at high speeds.
  18. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nm3138Z1t0 Ninja kitteh strikes back
  19. it's a word i do like to use
