Very glad to hear you go things under control. Anxiety, especial severe forms, can really poison one's life. Also great to read you managed to do all of it without psychotropics.   Ultimately I am still benzodiazepine free,have been exercising and drumming alot and have been very good for...

Quote: Hello,   I made some measurements on three "modulation" cables. Note that I did not listen to any of the tests, so there is no conclusion. I attached these cables in a manner that would be equivalent to an interconnect between a "liason"  (not sure if he means pre amp by...

Quote: Yeah as crazy as it sounds I can believe that. Cold sweats and feeling like I had the flu happened almost every evening for about a month and a half, generally an hour before I was to take my evening dose of Clonazepam and got worse the longer I waited. 45 mins or so after taking...

Quote: Sorry to hear about your story and thanks for sharing.   It really does seem to be hell if you are on the wrong side of the bell curve when it comes to pharma...   This is absolutely key, and others have touched on it too - Know thy med... or poison as the FDA refers to...

Quote: I never took Diazepam / Valium, I took clonazepam. They started me off in the hospital at 2x .5 mg daily and then I asked to get off it and they switched it to .5 daily. When they switched from 2x a day which was way to much down to .5 it was still too much in the sense morning...

Quote: Lol kinda neat I guess :P.   Sounds like low-rez Astral Projection at the begining... then it sounds like I am not quite sure what lol.

Quote: I have been lucky and had no issues coming of strong pain medication for my surgeries. Both times, after my month and a half script was up, I was merely a bit irritable. So again, everyone is different, I guess it either wasn't long enough or I just got lucky, or both.   Just...

  Well I'd just like to say thanks to everyone who responded or shared their own story.   Here is a small update a bit for anyone who might be interested:   Clonazepam only ended up exacerbating things in the end. Where lorazepam caught me off guard as I did not find it addictive...

  Quote:   Actually the mechanism by which MDMA is believed to acheive this astouding trait is quite interesting, and backed up / explained by numerous theories / models either directly or indirectly. Sounds like a cop out but I don't have the time or inclination to list everything...

Kratom does stimulate opioid receptors, I'm not sure if its the mu-opioid sites specifically though. I would have to double check. IIRC though it is either a partial agonist or stimulates similar sites (or both) which is why it helps getting off opioids/opiates - it eases the withdrawals.  ...

Just like to add my thanks to Purrin for taking the time to produce these various measurements (and a crash course on how to read them to boot!) and those who apparently sent their headphones to him for testing. This was the first time I have been on head-fi in a long time and also the first...

Quote:   Where do you purchase time a time machine to make accurate comparisons like that?   I am having trouble on Ebay, Amazon, and even craigslist... well there are some on craigslist but they don't seem legit.

Quote: Oh yeah! I hear that.   However, I don't find I need an EQ since the vast majority of audio gear can't come close to touching the bass of these bad boys so just the stark contrast alone is good enough for me.   Now, when I am listening to Nero and Deadmau5 I do tend to get a...

The other measurements on headphone.com of the Rev 2 are very impressive.   Between the HE-6, HD 800 and LCD-2, the LCD-2 has the best square wave plots and was almost as good as the HD 800 in terms of distortion.   Would be nice like others said to have Rev-1 measurements on the site...

Quote: great post. Too bad all , or much objective and constructive info/discussion like this gets banished to the sound science forum. Then again, the mob rules.
