Won't that be covered under warranty?

 

[Dsnuts]

Not when you pull out the socket. There is no warranty that is gonna cover that. That is physical damage. I feel sorry for you man. It would be one thing if these sounded like crap but you know how they sound and you spent on them cables that didn't fit correct.. Wow..Don't know what to say about that.

Sorry to hear that mochill Really sorry. I will buy the fx850 sooner than I think, and it will be thanks to you and dsnuts that I want it so bad!
 
cheer up, they won't be discontinued at least.

Might be cost effective to see if they'll repair it instead of buying new. I doubt it, but worth a shot.

Feeling your pain.

Sorry to hear about your JVC mochill. I've been following the updates and reviews on them that I know how valuable they are to you. Don't give up... Try and ask for warranty cover coz you never know. Good luck.

My take as well, the Raps/Rants just serve to hold it together as far as I'm concerned, nothing at all lyrically but nastiness, not even clever nastiness (tend not to even follow them closely). On the other hand, his MUSICAL mind is amazing, things he throws together into a fascinating whole are a whole different thing. Unlike others (and, again, I'm no expert, gonna listen to the above music videos after the dog walk), who may rap better over electronic beats and pieces of old recording background tracks looped (and I do like figuring out what was sampled, and it can make for great music), the MUSIC of Kanye's work is original, his creations. Of course, his public persona and nastiness is bound to turn many people off.

Should that be impressive? That should be a prerequisite of any artist with their mettle.

I do respect your opinions on here and enjoy your posts, but on the grand scale of talent, I'm afraid Kanye West doesn't even make the list, in my musical opinion.

I'm in the funny position of championing Kanye, an artist I know mostly because my 20 year old daughter loves his music, so I've listened to a bit of it. I've not listened to tons of Hip-hop, and don't claim to be an expert on it, or even well versed. I have to take issue with the idea that originality is a prerequisite for an artist. My take is that 90-95% of what's out there is derivative, and true originals are rare, even in creative media. I probably have a different perspective on Kanye, not being a hip hop devotee, but to my ears, mostly primed by jazz, alternative music of all sorts, Americana, the MUSICAL creations Kanye puts together strike me as original, involving, and different from what other artists do. I had the thought after I posted, though, that saying a rapper is Great based on the music (not the raps) may be like saying a quarterback who's a great runner but can't throw is great (Tim Tebow, anyone), maybe if the rap is most important, how you Dress It Up is secondary. Not being a steady listener of hip hop, to my ears the music may take extra importance true fans may find besides the point. I do think what he does musically, in the genre, strikes this casual listener of hip hop as pretty amazing. It's all personal taste and background imo. :-D

Newegg has the Tenqa Bluetooth 4.0 aptX earphones for $39.99 today. These are the Cannice Muses1 that I love, and paid close to $69 for initially.

I miss my generation of rap/ hip hop:
Bone thugs N harmony, tupac, notorious BIG, Dr Dre, E-40, Warren G and Nate Dog, Snoop Doggy Dog (not Lion), Wu Tang Clan, The Luniz, Slick Ric...sigh.

There's still some great rap out there. Check out The Roots' album Undun. Fantastic stuff.
 
Then there's Kanye West, the tortured musical genius. I think he's easily the best rapper in the game right now, both lyrically and musically. The man has no equal. His new album Yeezus is a true work of art, especially if you got the concept behind My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
