Another young one here. I'll try to make it and bring what's in my profile. I would love to hear others' Bijous and how much better they are than mine!

^ age shouldn't matter at all. No need to feel weird.

I'd be up for a meet. I'm in Cincinnati so I'd prefer a location closer to there. I can bring the stuff in my profile.

Do they need to be full size headphones? I use the Sennheiser MX75 for running and they are perfect. Since they are earbuds, they don't have much isolation.

Heck, I'd wear it. I'm confident enough in my own sexual identity that I don't really worry about how others see me... I think the hello kitty shirt is kinda cool/unique myself. It seems like Americans are too concerned about looks and how it ties in with your identity. Clothes are just...

They are quite efficient. Impedance isn't quite everything when it comes to driving headphones. Sensitivity is also a factor and the KSC 75's have a slightly higher sensitivity rating than Grado's. From personal experience, I find the KSC75's more easily driven than my Grado's. You should...

I have to say I am very happy with the performance of this amp. I built it P2P a few months ago and have been using it as my main amp. The transformer DOES get pretty warm and sometimes makes a high pitch whine (not in the headphone output, but physically) if it's been left on for a few hours...

I had both and ended up selling the W1000. The RS2 just does almost everything better. IMO the W1000 has better soundstage, but the bass isn't as punchy and the mids are kind of ... strange.

I'll be in town from christmas until February. I'll be bringing my CKKIII if you are interested in listening to that. (I MAY bring my Bijou)

The body is completely different as well as many many other things. My suggestion is to spend a few hours reading about them here: Nikon Digital Cameras: Digital Photography Review I would also recommend going to a store and just holding the cameras. They feel very different.

6MP and 10MP isn't as different as camera manufacturers would like to have you believe. I have had a D70 which is 6MP for the past 3 years and never felt that I wanted more. When you actually compare the image dimensions, the differences aren't that big. 3872 x 2592 (10.0 MP) vs. 3008 x 2000...

Might I suggest also Stowa watches. They are an excellent value. They aren't quite Omega level, but they are very nice mechanical watches for the money with excellent craftsmanship. You would order directly from them. Customer service is said to be top notch, and the movement is easily serviced...

Another vote for thailand. My parents from there and it's a great place to visit. The US dollar still goes a long way there too.

I would take it. If you end up not liking it, you will have very good job experience you can put on your resume. You can always leave after a few years (but stay long enough to get reasonable experience and so you don't look like a quitter). I am assuming you are early in your career. This...

Numerical Methods on Monday, Combustion on Tuesday, Travel for apartment hunting on Wed. Graduation ceremony on Sun. Hypersonic Aerothermodynamics on the Tuesday after that. Sigh...

I own the SR-125 and had the SR-80's for about 2 weeks. I'd stick with the SR-80. The termination is a little more convenient unless you only have 1/4" jacks. In terms of sound, I didn't really hear much of a difference.

What an idiot. He can afford a car like that and can't afford some track time? Sad.

Sign me up!

Well, it's great to see that there are a decent number of people attending. Is there anyone who can take the reigns as the arranger? I an finishing up my last semester here. I just got a job so I'm working on arranging that stuff (relocation, paperwork, etc) and won't be able to responsibly...

Grado is the best

Oh boy..... it hurts

Maybe some Super.fi's? You'll find the er6i's too lean.

Bottom right, Archimede Pilot?
