    The Official Sennheiser IE800S thread!

    After selling my IE800 a couple years ago, the 800S have now been in the house for about a week now. No regrets here, these are keepers. Before pulling the trigger on the 800S, the Beyerdynamic T1 2nd gen were sitting near the top of my list. Not having listened to T1, I'm wondering about their...

    Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread

    Just ordered my second HD600. This after (long ago) having as my first quality headphones, a late 90’s HD580. I ran the other HD600 on a Headamp GS-1, as well as an Anedio D1. This one will connect to an Anedio D2.

    Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?

    Of course in the early days that wonderful "community" was nurtured, supported, and subsidized out of Jude's own pocket, a contribution of which I remain grateful.

    Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!

    It was around last month where I cancelled an order for a Casio GW5000-1JF. I recently ordered a GWM5610-1 instead. Pretty sure I'll be happier with its lighter weight. This is a pic from 1991 taken off the westside of Molokai, where you can just about see the distinctive caseback and side...

    Perhaps on second thought, I could have ordered a mono colored strap.

    Thanks for the help Trihexagonal---I went for the submarine Amphibian. Asked for and received about an 11% discount. Couldn't resist the classic red star for a Soviet era watch, and the manual movement will probably fit my usage well. The other watch with frogman motif is definitely staying on...

    Thanks for the great primer, Trihexagonal. Is your Vostok Komandirskie pictured above USSR vintage? Not being too concerned with wear as opposed to function, what would be a good price range for a vintage user?

    ^ Now you have me looking at this! :O) Anyway I’m *trying* to keep this just below hobby status, but being the information junkie that I am it’s hard to resist! Any comments on buying from eBay...

    They were taking forever to ship the GW5000, so I cancelled the order and went with this. Hate to repost pics but oh well, its Christmas. Would have been cool if the engraved sub were a close likeness of the German Type 212 sub.

    Well, I ordered a GW5000 1JF. Just had to have the whole enchilada. Not very pleased with my self-discipline at the moment. The only excuse is its a remake as I understand it, of a watch that had seen me through many great adventures. There's a Damasko Dsub-1 currently listed for sale, for...

    Do you know if the 5610 will stay charged adequately, sitting on a shelf in a curtained room?

    I had a subdural hematoma at the right frontal/temporal lobe. You'd think the brain matter would pop back in place after the fluid drains, but it didn't. Talk about a life changing experience. Hang in there.
