What is a "tinker's cuss" anyway?

Why feel bad about liking the Ed. 9s even if some people here don't like them? I like my Ed. 9s very much and even more after getting them balanced. I think that the Beta22 I bought from thrice is going to make them very happy. Although they sound excellent on my SDS-XLR, I believe that sovkiller is right that they respond better to solid state for some reason. I have had that experience on other occasions, although it is usually the other direction because some cans (HP-2) only really sound good with tube gear. Now, on the other hand, even though I have never heard the 780s I am still quite convinced that any positives about them on HF are warped. People whose ears I trust have said they suck and why, so if you don't like the sound of them, then you are proving your ears not flawed.

Yes, my pair will be there. Plus, I will bring the Ed. 9s.

I don't think the BX5a are bright at all, but I don't crank them up to often. The BX8a are more than the 5a, but something called GigaSonic.com has the 8a for $349, which is a good deal. One thing to note is that the inputs are either XLR or 1/4 TRS jacks. I use an RCA -> XLR adapter cable because my office source does not have a balanced/XLR output. Works just fine. Good luck.

Thanks douchebag.

Ban stick? THIS. IS. HEAD-CASE!!!

My wife grew up in Silver Spring. I would not think Mike would want to live out there as a fresh college grad. What parts of DC itself are habitable?

I don't think the bx5a needs a sub and the bx8a is a larger woofer, so I think not.

Throw another green log on the fire.

M-Audio BX5a or the big boys BX8a. Sweetwater.com has the 5a for $299 right now. Guitar Center was cheaper when I bought them, iirc.

What are you doing tonight? I may have some free time to come over for the Big Test. True. True. Beer goggles for the ears are a very likely contributing factor.

Given your obsession with steam, I have a new avatar for your use. Enjoy:

25 and 21 are good birthdays. You had better fucking enjoy them! Cheers!

Have a great one dude! Which amp is going to get birthday preference?

Gen. Bonkers agrees.

It's kind of a pipe-dream, but I may try to leave a little early and make my way over there. I will just buy a ticket if there are any--and Yoshi's usually has something lying around. JP thought you were going for the 8pm show which was completely out. We shall see, but don't buy anything or move anything.

What show? I am thinking of cutting out on poker early to link up with you guys.

Now you can haz biscuit.

Or just make one of the kids hold his hand over the label while steaming. Amazon kids are cheap so you could just buy a new one when the flesh is too damaged and might get on the precious label.

Oh no you won't! JP says this is better, PJ! OBEY AND FOLLOW!

I really had a different idea in my head... How about you, Reks?

Here are my new racks before putting anything on them. Core Designs (corefurniture.com) does great work, and the fact that owner Arnold Marr brought them to my house fully assembled made for a truly pleasant purchase experience. Arnold happens to be a headphone geek and has a great collection of his own. Thanks to JP#s for helping set them up.
