I only listened to the L3k SE out of Dan's (former) M

Happy Birthday!

Got a letter. "Dear Toole, Thank you for the time and effort you spent recently in our selection process for Probationary Police Officer. We interviewed many applicants in the job search process. Unfortunately, we hired another individual whose credentials and qualifications were better suited for our needs. We thank you for your interest in employment with our Police Department and County Government and we wish you success in reaching your professional goals. Sincerely,"

Yeah, I think my Yamahas have the most seductive vocals of any of my orthos.

Deposit on four new Goodyear Eagle GT tires in 205/50R16. Get them installed Wednesday/Thursday. Ouch.

The T50v2 sure do have poor treble response, when damped as you had them. If I am getting my history right, Steve was the last person to open these up before I got them, and his initial damping layer had about the wind resistance of cheap craft felt, so about the lowest of anything in my ortho arsenal. They probably started rolling off around 5khz in that form, had absolutely no sparkle, or anything besides pounding bass. I currently have much, much denser stuff (glasses cleaning microfibre, followed by Ludo's black moorbrook cashmere), and the addition of circumaural pads and removal of the stock pads, which act as a bass lense, really help bring the treble out. Heck, I have had them once or twice that I bet MPWI here wouldnt find them too lacking. Well, maybe a bit, but he is crazy.

Yeah, I messed up there too. I was thinking (but didnt make this explicit) about rewiring the electrets to eliminate the SUTs, which would be quite easy since there are no bias concerns. Somehow, this became ESP/10, though I wonder how those would sound off your SRM-1/mk2 too. I had no idea what bias those ran.

The ESP/10 has 2kV bias? Thought just the Jecklin was that high, and it doesnt have tiny transformers in the earcups.

Hmm, floats that good? May need to try and make it over at some point. Ideally after I get tires, but before the NADs are gone, though that seems extremely unlikely. You realize you can just rip the transformers out of the cups and wire it for use with your Stax energizers, right?

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday

Old sextett yesterday, figured I would give it a go. Hope I like it more than the K701 or K271. Last chance, AKG, since your K1000 (which I do want) is out of my price range. for not buying one a few years ago when they were still $380 new.

Thanks a bunch everyone. The birthday went pretty well, though I still feel a bit queezy from all of the cake and cookies, and I didnt even get into the cake at home yet. Still about a pound of deep dish apple pie in the fridge at work, and I finished the last of the Berger's cookies this morning. No real celebration, and I even stayed late (9pm) at work, but decent day. Wasnt able to drink anything last night though, since I had my interview early this morning and I didnt want to take any chances.

Dusty, that is the old T40, not the new RP. Where did you get it?

Just got back from a formal interview with the HCPD. Think it went OK, but just hope that it went well enough.

Yup, I am 1 year, 1 month, and 1 day younger than her. Thanks for the well wishes guys.

You call that a razor? This is what I call a razor: Actually, yeah, I use one like yours, though I have the other one too.

Happy birthday Steve

My ESP/950's

If I could get fiberglass like what is in there stock, I would probably add it, but otherwise, not.

Have Fungi's Lambdas and stuff on the way. Should be fairly easy to upgrade the SRD7 to have a pro bias jack too.

Moar 'stats in '09! These are normal bias.
