I think he means the university.

  Quote:   Awesome set-up!    What kind of spikes are those and how do you attach them?  Do you need to screw/bolt them in?    

Quote: I traded a T1 plus some money for an HD800 and have absolutely no regrets.  The new owner coincidentally enjoys the T1 much more than the HD800.

Quote: Or to end.  Crazy rig man!

Quote:   What were the various Sennheisers and Beyers?    

Quote: Even the Fiio E9 drives the T1 to amp listening levels at 9 o'clock.  That's not what it's about.  Try it on a real amp and the difference will be there.      

Quote: It's way more than enough to bring it beyond listening levels but that doesn't always pan out optimally in reality.  I don't think many people who consider 500mW overkill.

Quote: I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here.  The marker he was referring to is oil-based and is labeled with "paint."        

Quote: I'm pretty sure it's a different product.  Normal sharpies aren't oil-based and don't say "paint."  There's no reason for them to suddenly brand those terms on all sharpies unless changes have been made.

Quote: Do a Google search.  Even from that image, you can see that it says "Paint."  These are oil-based.

Quote:   Thanks!    

Quote: Was it the metallic one or non-metallic?  My HD800 is still in pristine condition but who knows what might happen these days.

Quote: Alienware has pretty nice service.  They even ship you a packaging box and schedule a FedEx pick-up when sending your unit back in for service.  Turn-around time between shipping out and receiving back takes less than a week.
