    Honolulu, HI planning a meet

    I'll do everything I can to make it. I'm (currently) scheduled to have surgery on the 20th but that might (probably will) change.

    ExpressCard DAC?

    Does anyone know of any good DACs for laptops with ExpressCard slots? I loved my Indigo IO (PCMCIA) but my new laptop doesn't have that slot. I heard Echo is working on a new version of the Indigo for the Express slot but does anyone know of any other cards that are decent?

    Sennheiser in Transformers!

    Did anyone else notice The Sennheiser HD280s hooked up to a 3' stack of McIntosh components in The Departed? I started laughing right in the middle of the theater when I saw that. Also, if you ever watched the TV show Sports Night (I love it, have it on DVD) whenever they were in the editing...

    How Do You "Back-Up" Your Computer Music Files?

    I back up my music .... on my ipods. I have ~50 gigs and figure if it's on my HD and two ipods (one imodded, one regular) it's probably safe.

    Headphone Sightings 2

    On my boat (I just about live there) I've seen one set of E4Cs, one set of E2Cs, one set of KSC-75s, one set of ER6s, one set of EX71s, and one set of UE5s. Unfortunately I've also seen about half a dozen Triports and Bose QCs and God knows how many ibuds. Very sad.

    Are IEM's dangerous during takeoffs?

    I work on a submarine and I've worn my Ety ER-4Ss during diving/surfacing lots of times. The pressure onboard changes a lot more and just as quickly during that time than it ever will on an airplane, I can assure you. No problems so far. :-D

    Can you hear the high-pitched whine of a TV?

    I can hear it. My parents never could. They would always leave the TV on mute when they were out of the room and it annoyed the hell out of me. They told me I was just imagining things.

    Creative Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA. A worthwhile laptop upgrade?

    I bought the Audigy 2 Notebook and returned it a week later. It made almost no improvement on sound quality. If you want 7 channel sound, go ahead and get it. If you want something for stereo headphones, get an Echo Indigo I/O or DJ. It costs more but it's well worth it. That's what I ended up...

    Has anyone else seen these ghastly things?

    I was walking through Circuit City about a week ago looking for a pair of KSC75s and I happened to notice these ridiculous looking things from Logitech. I did a sort of double take. Then I picked up the box and just stared at them for a minute. Any thoughts?

    K701 or HD650?

    I've never gotten to use the 650s, but I finally got to try out the 701s today and WHOA. They are beautiful. The best I currently have are the Senn 595s and they don't even compare. Also, the two guys I talked to about it immediately agreed they thought the 650s were very colored. Plus the...

    What do you do to take your mind off waiting for e500?

    You can't complain. I'm in the Navy and my boat leaves for a 6-month deployment on Tuesday. I won't be able to buy a set until November! I'm also going to miss X-Men 3 by a week and a half ...

    I went to the shops and came back with a 5G 60gig iPod video!

    That happened to me about a week ago. I went to store not having even thought about buying a 60GB 5G iPod. Yet ... somehow, it found its way into my basket. My wallet and I aren't getting along right now. I say he's not giving enough and he says I'm too demanding. Of course I'm right.

    If I wore my K701s to school...

    Wow. Head-Fi really has made us all pretentious.

    rockbox 5g ipod sound substantially better better than 3g?

    I own both of them right now and I think there is a noticable difference in overall detail and clarity between the 3G and 5G. Also, with my Ety ER4Ss, the soundstage is much more precise with the 5G. I'm using an RnB line-out cable with a Hornet. I tried rockbox for a few days but it wasn't...

    headphone sightings?

    I was walking around a mall in Honolulu and I saw an old guy wearing what I think were E3Cs. Also, I was watching Sports Night a few days ago and they were in a recording room wearing AKG K240s and AKG K171s or 271s.

    Have strangers ever been impressed with your headphones just by looking?

    I rarely wear any phones out in public so, alas, the only comments I've ever gotten are from family. All of my mom's family thinks I'm an idiot for wasting so much money. All of my dad's family, on the other hand, think all my audio equipment is awesome. Go figure.

    questions about the Hornet~

    I ordered it direct from Ray. I asked for a red one but .... alas .... I got a black one. (cries softly) I guess it really doesn't affect the sound all that much ...

    good isolating IEMs that would completely block mowers/weed eaters?

    The best earpieces for isolation are completely dependant on the shape of your ears. I've tried triple flanges and foams and silicone acorn-shaped whatever they're called (clear and black ones that come with shures) and with the Shures, the foams were the only things that really worked for me...

    HD595 Discomfort

    I have no idea what that little protuberance is for (that's a good word). It's just kinda ... there ... I haven't had any problem with it, but I understand perfectly how something small like that can drive you crazy. Have you tried just wearing the phones with the headband farther back on your...
