Rate The Last Movie You Watched
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (5/10): I thought it was quite dull, even more so than the second installment. For the most part, Lisbeth spent most of the movie in a hospital room and courtroom. And there was very little interaction between her and Michael. I thought the first movie...- kontai69

The Breitling Thread
I also have an Aerospace. I bought it used and sent it to Breitling USA a few years ago for service. It came back looking brand new. It gets the most wrist time of all the watches I own, mainly due to its practicality. I'm a researcher and use the chronograph + timing bezel to time...- kontai69

Symphones Magnum upgrade for Grado SR325 and Alessandro MS2
I think the easy remedy to this design flaw is to put the U-shaped notch on the other edge of the yoke. That is, have the notch facing towards the inner cup rather than the outer cup. A safer alternative is to make the yoke C-shaped, just as with the stock plastic piece. Nonetheless, glad to...- kontai69

Grado RS-2 without the "i"...
For one, the "i" version has a thicker cable. You would have to pry the driver from the wooden cup, desolder the old wires off, and solder the new ones on. You would also have to enlarge the cable hole in the wooden cup. Not so easy, IMO.- kontai69

Burn-in Naysayers:
From what I've seen, it seems like 99.9% of people who claim massive changes after burn-in never compare their "burned-in" headphone to one that is brand new out of the box. This would really substantiate their claims that physical changes in the headphone are occuring and "100% real" as often...- kontai69

Symphones Magnum upgrade for Grado SR325 and Alessandro MS2
Quote: If you have already sent in your headphone for modification, you may opt to receive the magnum enhancement with stock MS2/SR325i/s drivers, depending on your original model. Once the new coating has been perfected, we will send you the improved drivers, which can be user installed...- kontai69
