Haven't purchased anything since getting JH16s a couple years ago (I was in line for a JH3A, then that fell through).  Got a Woo Audio amp and a few other things gathering dust in the garage.  Main reason being, I want portability and that means I didn't want anything beyond the IEM and the...

Long time no see guys, might be in Seattle the day of your meet so ill see if I can pop in and see how crazy the LCD-2 meets have become these days. Only use my custom IEMs these days so not much I can share on my side...

got my iphone5 today and this as well.  Got to admit, for a freebie that comes with the phone this is actually very good.  Too much mid bass, but that's better than the nonexistent bass of the old apple earbuds.  The fit is good too, and for now very comfortable.  Definitely feels like there's...

There's no such thing as an indestructible headphone.  If you want something close, get one with a good warranty on it.  Koss 'phones are a good start, though that's my preference.   You'll most likely have better luck figuring out what's breaking every time and taking steps to make sure...

it's Portland though, wouldn't you want something with fenders on it?  Loving the heck out of the 2010 Jamis Aurora I picked up while I was in P-town last year, comfy and rides pretty fast (hills do become good workouts) and can withstand the occasional monsoon that comes along in this area.  ...

have purchased both my ipads there w/ zero issues.  they have a phone line with real people behind it, which seems like a rarity these days.

Ear impressions?  I thought this was supposed to be a LCD-2 owners' convention.   If I-90's thawed out by then I may have to see what's up in the meetups now.

Got Salk HT1-TLs second-hand that just barely meet the price criteria new (plus 800 or so in veneer upgrades).  The speaker gods will probably kill me if they realize I dont run enough good recordings through them and primarily listen to horrible anime music, and with nothing other than one of...

Quote:   When I get back into it it'd be in moderation, for sure.  This summer I was doing rides to the local HS/MS (or a not-so-local one for a longer... uh, warmup?) for short 2-3mi runs around the track MWF, really helped me get in better shape.  Should not have tried that 5K and...

I'd love to get back to running if I could.  Have been fighting plantar fasciitis that I haven't been able to get rid of for a year now.  Those barefoot shoes would have been nice to get into and try out pre-injury, but nowadays I'm afraid of taking any steps w/o orthoics or a form-fitting...

I was impressed with the LCD2, but let go of it because I couldn't keep that much weight on my head without it becoming uncomfortable within a listening session.  Guess I'll have to get to another head-fi meetup when people get these in so I can give them a whirl.

Quote: There are states that make it illegal to ride on the freeway, but any other road should be fair game unless they explicitly state it isn't.  There's still Far Right as Possible laws though and it's also never a good idea to tick off idiots driving two-ton vehicles regardless of...

Just learned about the spec change for JH3A.  What the...   It sucks that JH decided to hide this from so long ago.  Anyone that's had to go through all the way with this deserve at least the few piece of trinkets they're handing out, and the supposed adapters that they're talking about...

Watching Food Inc. made me glad I buy organic chicken.  The value packs have this unmistakeable stench to them that I can't stand. I don't really like the way people are so 1 or 0 about these things, though.  On one side you got people eating sickening amts of meat, on another you got hippies...

buy decent puncture resistant tires, if it's not enough get some tuffy liners.   Vittoria Randonneur tires on my commuter routinely gets 1/2-inch tackweed thorns in them, no flats after 1500 miles.  If you must have thin (yeah, as if rolling resistance or 100g weight makes a difference for...
