Quote: Hello there! :)   Impossible to keep up with the pace at which things are going on around here. Plus, in India I don't really have access to any of the essential hardware. I just dropped away until the time came to sell a pair of headphones I just wasn't using (K1000).  ...

It is good to be back and yet again the SR60 has me amazed. I've been MIA for a while I know...and after more than 3 years since I moved back to India, I have just dug out my SR60s from a box. The cable is a bit wonky but repaired with a tie-wrap. Plugged them into my Sony D-25 CDP, popped in...

First post in a long time. Get well soon Ben - if you ever ride again - please let me know so I can buy you a helmet, leathers, boots and gloves with my pittance of a salary. Perhaps your millions will make a lot more sense to you then... Incidentally I ride the same bike...

Oooh...I am getting a lesson on physics!! I'm not going to lean on my academic qualifications in this matter - I weigh 100Lbs more than the kids I race with and I can consistently keep up with them...and I KNOW that I cannot touch them on the straights. A karting track has straights and...

LOL...it is odd how heavier people corner easier and suck on the straights...lighter folks struggle on fast corners but do nicely on slow corners and straights. On slow corners, with my current weight...if I dont keep the revs up through the corner, I am screwed. Fast corners are easier with...

I used to be seriously into karting back in the day. If you can buy a 125 shifter or a decent chassis with a parilla you should be set. Good helmet and overalls with the right shoes (I prefer puma) and you are in business. I like the amateur approach of this website -...

My PC comes in tomorrow!!!

I think he means having the drivers flat against the ears instead of spread out... I do this for rock, hip-hop etc. Works very well. I keep them spread out most of the time. When I lie down and put my head on the pillow with the K1000 opened up, there is some sort of "pillow effect" which...

Whenever I listen to Bjork - it is worse than holding a nail gun to my head... BTW - No mention of "Will Smith" ?? Sting was stunning in "Lock Stock and two smoking barrels". Minor role but he played it with class...

Is anyone using the SA5000 with the M3 amplifier? The recent Rockhopper M3 amp thread piqued my curiosity because I spent a few minutes with the combo at the Maryland meet and liked it immensely. I think this could be one of those cases of instant synergy... or I could be completely off...

Jazz - I dont want to waste time arguing with you so I concede defeat and submit to your supreme knowledge. To the others - the difference between a strong amp and a weak amp is like the difference between an Skyline with everything stock...and a Skyline with everything blown out...high...

Quote: Originally Posted by applebook The SA5000 clearly emphasizes HFs, so to call it "neutral" is plain incorrect. It's several shades bright of neutral. There's no proof that the SA5000 "reveals" anything in sources rather than accentuates or completely colors it. And...

Yes you will suffer from hearing loss with long term headphone use. I would rather go deaf than deal with tinnitus
