Beefy Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 I pains me that I did not add him to my ignore list prior to becoming a mod. Are mods unable to add people to their ignore list That both makes perfect sense, and sucks arse.
n_maher Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 Are mods unable to add people to their ignore list That both makes perfect sense, and sucks arse. I thought that was the case, but it is not, JOY!
Wmcmanus Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 Like butta. Smooth like butta and Barbara Streisand's thighs!
mypasswordis Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 If shortening the cable makes the HD800 as good as the HE-90. Maybe plugging the IC socket directly into the amp would make it sound twice as good as the HE-90? I'm just sayin *shrug* Maybe some of Steve's great advice would help (replace K701 with HD800): You know, it's funny that nobody here has mentioned it yet, but here at Head-Case we've had a fantastic discovery. Now we are a little bit secretive about it, so don't go telling non members about it please. OK, here's what you do...Take your headphones, in your case the AKG K701 (the K701 really is a great headphone for this discovery BTW), cut off the existing TRS phono plug at the end of the cable. Now stay with me here and follow my instructions to the tee, or this won't work properly. Strip about 5 inches of bare wire from the end of the cable (all three or four wires, depending on your specific cable). Now here's where you need to follow the instructions very carefully...PLACE THE HEADPHONES ON YOUR HEAD BEFORE MOVING TO THE NEXT STEP! Now here's where there's a little discrepency between members, some say to place the wires directly into your homes electrical outlet at this point, but I prefer the sound quality from method #2...Take all the bare wires and twist them together. Are you done twisting the wires? OK, now take the bare wires with a little bit of Crisco (trademarked) and slide them as far up your ass as you can get them. No, farther than that, you can do it! Now fart!
Dusty Chalk Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 HD800 modification thread - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio not good enough, needs the full animated
Smeggy Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Between BJ, scattmafia and Jizz that thread is all win!
Currawong Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 I almost sputtered food all over my keyboard, great stuff. Someone needs to rename him TshirtPJ.
Cosmopragma Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Well, did anyone actually try the iPoop mod? I thought personal experience is mandatory here -- before you ridicule an idiotic modification. I'd like to try it since a similar cheap trick once did work well in transforming a L3000 from mediocre to quite good so a change of the HD800s to even better is not entirely impossible but I don't own T-shirts except two $70 boutique T-shirts ..... Oh wait, that would turn this cheap trick into a high end modification by utilizing selected boutique parts.
pedalhead Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Reading that thread makes me want to kick a puppy. HF is getting more & more infected with cable voodoo freaks lately. Yeah, let's all go & slice our headphone cables in half because that extra three feet of capacitance is a killer. FFS! and breathe.

Like shortening a cable Jizz is nearing ignore list if I wasn't too lazy to actually doing it.
atothex Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 I didn't realize Jazz had a rep... Well, I knew about PJ and Scooter at least.
nattonrice Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 Christ... there isn't a smiley to convey this level stupidity. Mind you this is the same guy that said that looking at a cable would make it sound different compared to not looking at it. Misrepresentation of quantum mechanics ftl
screaming oranges Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 I'm gonna put a thong on mine.
Beefy Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 Mind you this is the same guy that said that looking at a cable would make it sound different compared to not looking at it. Wait, what? You can't be serious......
Nebby Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 so the best cable is one that you can't see?
nattonrice Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 Wait, what? You can't be serious...... Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio - View Single Post - Shock! Horror! Cable companies start a Measurements programme
catscratch Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 Quick, somebody attach a turbine to Werner Heisenberg's grave, maybe we can get some free power! Seriously, that's just beautifully demented. Made my day.
spritzer Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 So amps would sound better if we don't look at them...? This guy takes being retarded to a new level
Dusty Chalk Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 Lurch: Uhhhhhhhhh... (walks away, shaking head)
Beefy Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 There aren't enough facepalms or lolcats on the whole internet for that comment
The Monkey Posted September 24, 2009 Report Posted September 24, 2009 That's got to be a lame attempt at humor. Even he isn't that ridiculous.
