+ foam = with - foam = without

These seem to be the center of some extreme polarity of opinion. I love mine but perhaps it's because I have the ideal type of ear for them and/or how I wear them etc. How do you like yours?

OK, all 'legal' pics that turned out pretty well are scanned and up finally. Mine Bob's All of em aren't perfect but oh well...hard to concentrate on photography with all that gear sitting around. Enjoy!

OK everyone...Bob emailed me the pics he took and they're all up here. Do me a favor and PM/email me if you want to outside link em so I can check the use history out...I want to keep my bandwidth available to head-fi first and the rest of the intarwebnet second. Also, I don't remember who...

It's the II...the only difference from what I read is the fact that the II has a plastic mount (no consequence to me on such a small lens, and a cheep one at that). The zoom I got will hold me over for now..until I can afford to play in the pro-zoom arena. And don't start about the...

(Sorry if any of y'all have seen this on other forums and are growing tired of it) Got most of my help here so I felt compelled to post what I decided upon! After debating for a while and spending the last couple months looking around, I finally ruled out a new camera due to the lack of...

Yeah I can host...but I haven't got my shots developed yet () I'll 1-hour them monday for y'all....email me whatever you've got to derick.shaw@webmail.expression.edu and I'll get em up asap.

Quote: Originally posted by pbirkett Indeed, same here. Not only that, but the poster claimed I'd be harming my computer. Well, seeing as I'm usually doing little else when listening to music, then its not really putting the computer under strain. When I am pushing the computer hard, then...

Quote: Originally posted by Geek I recommend against the vantec nexus for fan noise control purposes: the capacitors on the vantec controller create lots of static, hisses, and pops when you turn them down. It's quite a treat if you want to impress your friends but its a pain in the...

Yeah, I'd really like to pick up a faster lens (1.4 for instance) but I just can't justify the cost now. Either way, the 50mm will provide some super crisp shots for my design work and the cheepo zoom that comes with the kit (which I decided upon) will give me some flexibility for using it as a...

Quote: Originally posted by AIM9x you have seen the light.... now go forth and continue to spread the bad word on the mx400 blind-followers. I bet you have small ears.

I'm my experience the Senn MX's are very dependent on the ear of the listener....especially as far as size is concerned. Mine sound a bit thin without the foam but pack an amazing punch with the foam on (and I have no discomfort at all from listening or having them in my ears). Bass is far...

The HP1000 was listened to on a handful of stuff I can picture but not name...perhaps someone can name off the pile of gear on the 'pricey' table? :P The RS1 was terminated balanced so it got blockhead time. I heard someone mention that the RS1 is a newer version and thus not as good as an...

Quote: Originally posted by daycart1 Thanks for the report! A little off topic if you don't mind: what amp were you using with the Grado 325? I agree that the difference between SEnn 580 and 600 is minimal. I'll bet it is so small that some 580 units outperform some 600s even if the...

First off, a big thanks to Bob for hosting…cool place I took a couple rolls of pictures that I should have developed and scanned up by the end of the week here. Bob took a few too so we should be well covered for gear/people pics. I have limited time to devote to this tonight so I’ll go through...

Its been determined thats what such things are to be put (rather than this thread)? EDIT: As per above advice, I started a new thread in the lounge...mods feel free to move it wherever if this isn't the best place for it. http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showt...threadid=52643

Quote: Originally posted by morsel Kurt is having trouble finding his M-Audio Audiophile USB, does anyone have a decent USB audio interface they can bring for RMAA testing? I sold my Onkyo I'll see if I can get ahold of one of my friends with one and borrow it but I dunno this late.

Good news: I've ghetto-rigged the innards my amp with the shaft from a small maglite and some paper so it functions nearly perfectly! Now I won't have to have it open so people can hold the 1/4" jack while they push phone plugs into it. Any late-breaking need for rides in the Berkeley...

Quote: Originally posted by stuartr True.dat That plus a set of nice sticks (my current pod is a light piece of crap) and a good speedlight and I should be set for pretty much anything. Perhaps a nice fast zoom later when I make some money. Your help has been invaluble. Thanks!
