Bulllllshit. Maybe compared to the DT770, but who wants to compare anything to that.

Arrived ~11:30am, made it over to the hotel, promptly sat down in the Headroom room and after giving the Senn rep a short ration of shit about his shipping priorities I checked out the HD800s for 20 min or so on the new Balanced Ultra DAC and what I believe was the MAX balanced amp. The 800s are seriously good as was everything upstream. I'm going to try and spend more time with this setup tomorrow. Then I ran into Dan, Vicki, Nums, Jacob, Jeff, Mike and Dom and had a short visit with them before leaving to hang out with my little sister. A double-double animal style has been consumed, now time to chill and give my liver some rest before tomorrow.

I think we need to sick our class action lawyer on Apple. The location of the moisture sensor in the dock connector is insane and the fact that sweaty palms are enough to void your entire warranty just can't be legal. The next gen Iphone better have improved upon this. Apple's Rules for Correctly Using Your Iphone: #1. Do not touch your Iphone, it'll void the warranty. #2. Do not breathe on your Iphone, it'll void the warranty.

Wuhoo! There's a better than slight chance I'll be swinging by the hotel ~1pm on Friday, anyone going to be around? If so look for the tall, pasty white guy sucking down drinks in the bar.

Lots do on their full sized gear, which in particular are you wishing did?

Which finger?

25 years, man you're harsh.

If you want to bring it that would be great. I'll be using whatever is provided on site.

Todd is supposed to have a pair in his room. And that's a pretty big kick in the nuts to Headroom that Todd has his now and HR has orders in for hundreds of units.

You should have had them sent to the hotel, duh!

Yeah, and the practice makes no sense to me given the current price of jet fuel. A quick check says that the price is down over 60% from a year ago when the hidden fee madness began.

I will be unable to help as I will be too busy cutting off the stock connectors and reterminating cables.

Nice! I'm pretty nervous about packing since all I'll be bringing is a carry on.

I suppose it all comes down to how early you want to go to bed. Sure, if you want to nod off a 8 pm you might pull that off. Of course you'll feel like you have zero life but it might work. And no offense to your friend but sleep math is not normal math and in this case 3+3+3 does NOT = 9. And I still say that one day I'm going to write a book on parenting and it's going to be called "Life as a Series of Naps". Lily rarely, if ever during the first 6 months slept for longer than 2 or 3 hours at a time. We eventually split shifted the night so that we each got ~5 hours of semi-peaceful sleep.

You're not serious are you? I don't think that anyone is going to sit around taking notes as Todd passes them out.

And still 3 months from now you'll be longing to sleep as late as 5am! I'm finally far enough removed from it that I actually miss feeding Lily at 2am, well occassionally anyway.

You and Ray Samuels need to meet Smeggy.

Moon Audio will have one at CanJam, allegedly it's the first to ship in the US and will be coupled to the matching transport.

This is what I was thinking of. Apple discounts replacements for waterlogged iPhones | iPhone Atlas - CNET Reviews

Well, it's one shiny-er, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be ok at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten. Where can you go from there? Where? Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Eleven. Exactly. One shiny-er.

Hasn't Apple already had to admit (at least in part) that the sensor is too, well, sensitive? Isn't this part of the whole lower priced replacement they now offer?

I cleaned this up as best I could with limited time, have at it if you must.

IIRC the pearl setup that was being used then was seriously low output, like ~.5V or something along those lines.
