Thanks for the update Justin!

Yeah waiting for my DPS also. I briefly spoke with Justin not too long ago and he mentioned that it should be shipping out in a couple weeks or so. I think he was waiting on some enclosures.

I owe $40,000+ in student load debts : ( I'll probably be well into my 40's when it gets paid off. On the bright side my credit is actually not too shabby and my credit card debt is practically nil.

I'm still waiting for my Gilmore Lite DPS from HeadAmp (Backordered since Feb) and some HD-555 replacement parts from Sennheisser. I'm expeciting the Senn parts to arrive sometime this Weds (Just got their shipping confirmation email and UPS tracking. I love it when that happens!) Just in...

About 7-8 hrs here. Most of the time I feel refreshed but not always. My Doc thinks i may have sleep apnea so I have to do a Polysonogram.

I'm diggin it for sure. And it looks like the surround audio improved with the new patch 1001. At least on my Xi-Fi, CMSS on my headphones sound more robust and the soundstage seems more prominent. Warning though for those upgrading: It's not compatible with your old games but it fixes a load of...

Great thread. I didn't realize the earpads on the HD555 came off so easily. I need to get them replaced since one of them has a tear. Plus there's a dent in the metal grating. Hopefully I can get replacement parts directly from Senn, but I may as well give these mod suggestions a shot while at it.

If isolation is important to you I would say go with the HD280 since they're closed phones. The HD555 has an open design which will leak sound out (not very good if you want to keep your music "private" which may be an issue with coworkers) and you'll probably hear more ambient noise leaking in...

I'm not surprised that Iran blacklisted it since the Iranians are descended from the ancient Persians. In these times it's not hard to miss how this film lends itself to current affairs/politics. On the movie itself, it was a fun popcorn film. A little silly here and there but it was...

Just from my experience and my own opinion: I use Senn. HD555 for my general HT and gaming needs. It's an open phone and sounds great with surround virtualization. (Via my Yamaha receiver's Surround Headphone Mode and my Xi-Fi card on the PC). I've tried using my office phones which are...

Big fan here also. I've seen them multiple times over the last couple years here in San Fran. Definately one of the more underrated bands out there.

Yeah I figured it may have been the disc also but I was just perplexed that it would play fine on my PC's DVD drive and not on my standalone DVD player. Strangely enough I have a couple other CD's; 2 copies of Delerium's KARMA that refuses to play properly on my PC DVD drive but plays...

This is somewhat of a noobish question so please bear with me: So i picked up a used CD copy of "Le Mystère Des Voix Bulgares Vol. 1". When playing it on my DVD Player (Check my sig below for my specs.) I noticed that around track 6-7 I hear this weird "flap flap flap" sound in the background...

The dark ambient stuff from Cold Meat Industry bands like Raison D'Etre and Megaptera usually creeps me out but in a good way Perfect Halloween music.

I was fortunate enough to see them on September 22nd at the Paramount in Oakland. It was my first time seeing them and it was well worth it. (I missed them back in '95) I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to see them live but I think they are still selling preorders for the live CD's here...
