FS: Woo Audio GES - Lower price. - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio That wouldn't be a bad starting point, Jacob, if you could talk him down just a bit lower.

You know there's only one solution to the active desktop question - 12L.

If all goes well over the next night or two I might have something that'll ease a great deal of pain. Or cause significant pain that you won't have it on hand for the meet.

That rig wouldn't give you bragging rights around the office? What are you office mates running that come anywhere near to competing with that?
-
I love how the price is "firm" so you can't even bait him with offers of $100. What an ass.

My suggestion, based purely on speculation would be something like SRM-717, 404LE with the source of your choice. Yes, it's not top shelf, but I'm guessing that like me you don't or won't get to really actively listen while working and that there will always be some level of ambient noise that tramples over the finer details.

Assemblage 2.6/2.7 and Icarium rants
n_maher replied to dreamwhisper's topic in Home Source Components
NoNoNoNoNoNo's situation has as much to do with other things as it does his purchase and subsequent flipping of the 2.7. It's not like he was banned here or at Head-Fi for one specific reason or a particular action he took. -
I've always had it happen with checks and felt it was perfectly reasonable to do so since it's not like they should be at risk for the check I just deposited. But with fracken cash, I mean come on. And you'd think they'd see I have 10x the deposit amount in other, linked accounts... I mean, I'm not a rich man by any stretch but I've never cost this bank a dime.

For once in a very long while there is actually money going into that account, rather than a continuous stream out of it. I'm as shocked as they are.
-
For a bit of irony I figured I'd post this example of how financial institutions treat different levels of customers. I went to my bank at lunch and deposited a relatively sizable sum of cash, as in a wad of $100 bills. I just logged into my account to check on the status of a paypal xfer and saw that they had only credited my account with $1000 and that the remainder of the deposit was "under review". WTF is there to review about actual currency?!?

Open it up, I'd guess the truth is in there and not on the panels. Otherwise, if it's a 2.6 I hope you didn't pay for a 2.7. -
If he posts "ne1" one more time I'll give him the .

Here it is in a more digestible format.

Stax amp with DC input instead of IEC?
n_maher replied to Patrick82's topic in Headphone Amplification
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.
