Upon initial listening with these buds, I was rather unimpressed as I heard the rather familiar bloated mid-bass, sharp highs, and lack of mids that SKDY's old line carried. Then I realized that...
The VSD1 is the latest in a rather long line of budget in ear monitors including the VC02, GR99, GR02 and others that promises high quality sound for around $50 or so. While I haven’t had...

Funny seeing that thread brought up again, mainly because it was started by JamesMcProgger. Or McFrogger, as a few other Head-Fi'ers and I affectionately called him. Haven't heard from him in ages, probably because he must have gotten himself permabanned (which shouldn't surprise anybody who knew him on here).
Didn't he get Banned, while still serving a Ban? I just realized it's against TOS to discuss said Bans...
Yeah, I have no idea what actually happened. I just know he's been gone a long time, and that whatever happened, it happened while I was taking a long break from Head-Fi. I just keep forgetting it was his thread. It pops up on occasion and it's always amusing when it does.

You're getting the hang of it. Just need a little more tension in the situation to make it more apt, then it's all good.

This ain't nothing compared to the anime thread LOL. That's how I got HS in 2 months time.
Hey, this is pretty good for the subject matter! The level of interest in anime is probably way bigger than the level of interest in avatars. So proportionately, we are kicking a whole lotta ass right now.

However, it seems I am not alone.....
Whoa! LaBrie's trying out for Idol? Must be down on his luck or something...
Because then all the information would be passed in chat and not made public for google
Oh, they can generate chat logs I'm sure...

Zombieland is a fantastic flick. The text overlays from that movie remind me of Grid: Race Driver.

Of course! Should make a photo T-shirt for her that has your face on it. Better yet, use one of the composite faces we made for anonymity!
So why do I always capitalize the "T" in "T-shirts" you may wonder? Because a lower case t just wouldn't make sense visually. Think about it.

Yeah, it is. But sometimes, it's the only way to follow a convo... especially days after the fact. Maybe one day I'll somehow manage to work recursion in as well! Then I'll reach the last dragon and acquire the glow.

I think it takes a lot more vanity (and acquaintances) to properly maintain such accounts. In the end, just another time suck. I'll stick with music, cans, and HF for now.

A fair amount I would think. Was a pretty popular career field for a while.

Music#### might have talked about it a few hours ago, then wiped it out so we'll never know.

I'll probably find out next semester whether or not I'll be able to hack it.
Working on anything fun at the moment? I did that for about 15 years or so. Had to do a fair bit of the design aspect as well... which explains the Photoshop skills.

I know a guy who's scoring a WHOLE lotta gear from a dude in his 70s. It's all first rate gear that's being liquidated because the old fart just can't hear anymore. I got to thinking about that and it made me sad. I take care of my ears, but I know that there's gonna come a day when I can't enjoy music the way I used to. Not to mention death. Being dead is going severely change my ability to appreciate headphones (and music in general to a certain degree).

Oh I totally forgot about B&H! Surprising since I just placed an order with them... I think. Holidays, can't keep track of the orders anymore.

It's less about anime and more about me proving how right I am and bowei being wrong all the time. Which is partly true btw.
Please be noted that the poll is now removed since it's kind of unanimous and set that January is going to be Jude January. Now for more thing to vote on LOL.
Really quick, don't know how closely you guys follow the deals threads around here, but Amazon's got Meelectronics A151 BA IEMs in their Gold box right now for $31.99:

Usually just 2, sometimes 3 (Keurig FTW) in the morning....but I drink a lot of Coke/Pepsi the rest of the time (to the detriment of my physique).
Yeah, we're probably on par caffeine-wise then. I used to be a Mountain Dew junkie, but the sugar levels there are just astounding. You ever get caffeine withdrawal headaches?

LOL, +1
BTW, I say we all go for different movie posters for each person. So the overall theme is Jude and his celebrity status (at least here around these parts). Plus, variety is the spice of life. We'll make sure to embed the TMAC tag of course. What do y'all think about that?
How long will that deal last? And what's the consensus on the UE700? I know of the A151 though. Either case, I can't get it to ship here to Russia anyway, since that's what they decide to put in as their policy for electronic items. >_>

The A151 deal is probably going to be on for a couple more hours (or until stock runs out). The UE 700 deal, no idea. Are you interested? I don't know how much shipping will be to Russia, but I can help forward it along if you want. I picked up the A151, but passed on the UE 700 (mainly because of build quality issues).
Nah I'm good. Just slightly interested since I remember asking for a recc. and the A151 came out. Read about it some more and decided it's not really my cup of tea. Thanks for the offer though.
I just realized it's against TOS to discuss said Bans...
