I have no patience for this particular attention whore.

Not a fan of the dual wire cable, hard to believe it isn't a bit annoying but I'll defer to DOTU's impressions until I get to see them.

It sounds like Colin's meter should have a high enough impedance to get an accurate measurement but I'm out of my comfort zone speaking about such things. What I'd do is call Koss and try to get someone who knows something on the phone. There isn't magic going on here so it shouldn't take much to get an actual, verifiable answer and if it turns out to be 300V that'll be pretty interesting considering that some have suggested running them over 600V for best results.

I agree Stretch, regardless of card the fact that Amex recognized and either consciously ignored or were convinced to ignore their fiduciary duty is the heart of the matter.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I'm with Al, pissed I can't get to that meet.

Grahame, That basic programming trick used to be one of my favorite things to do to the display machines at radio shack. 10 PRINT "TANDY SUCKS TANDY SUCKS TANDY SUCKS" 20 GO TO 10 RUN

My parents were on the cutting edge, straight up TI-99/4A baby.

Wuhoo! And of course, pics or ban.

I'm most concerned about that as well and that's what is keeping me from pulling the trigger. I've already heard from one user that it's range is like less than a foot, which is unacceptable.

Speaking of good tools, I'm thinking about ordering one of these - Tenma Tenma Solder Fume Extractor With Carbon Filter 110VAC Soldering Equipment & Solder at Markertek.com - anyone ever use something like it?

I'll add to Mr. Monkey's musings... Initially I was pretty excited for the pad, as a content consumption device. However, the more I have thought about it, considered its use and abilities I'm almost certainly going to wait to see how the HTML5/Flash battle goes. A big chunk of what I'd want to do with the pad is to use it as a small TV essentially via sources like Hulu and downloaded content. It's unclear to me how Apple will either replicate this ability since it won't support Hulu to start with or how I'd easily be able to view content I download. I don't want to have to transcode and sync everything I download and it clearly isn't going to allow me to download a zipped movie file directly onto it and unzip and watch it. That's kind of a big suck for me.

The key point here is whether the Amex card was corporate card issued to her by Koss or if it was her personal card and in no way directly associated with Koss. If it's the latter and Amex allowed it to be paid with Koss funds clearly being used for personal purchases than I think lawyers are going to have a field day fighting with it. Ultimately I think it's still Koss who dropped the ball but red flags should have been going up everywhere.

Shocking, a credit card acting like a douchebag.

This is the one I have, I paid significantly less for it. Ungar 1095 Flameless Heat Gun edit - here it is, a bit cheaper - http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=360-390%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20&FTR=&CFID=23003351&CFTOKEN=99491369

I'm putting the word out, if any of you ever see one of these douchebags flip these HF-2s I'm counting on you to let me know. I give you my most solemn vow that justice will be swift, it will be righteous, and it will be without mercy.

Bells on, I'm there.

Andrew can have a nice time out too, jackass.

In truth they use a threaded comply tip for ease of installation in the field.

Who's the second poster, I banned the first one for 24hrs for massive douchery.

They are mil-spec and therefore fasten directly to my brain.

I have the premier sponsors forum 100% muted on my version of Head-Fi so I didn't have to see any of that crap.

Mike, If you keep the 302 and need a balanced set of cables, just ask.

Shit Jeff, that sucks. In IEM news, the Mil Spec IEMs have been born.

IIRC the bias on the Koss amp is 600V, compared to the stock Stax bias of 580V and I'm not sure the squealing issue was ever traced to bias mismatch.
