1. Are you familiar with SACD? DSD? Very.   2. Do you own any SACDs? One or two bargain bin ones, like Dark Side of the Moon.    3. If so, what percentage of your collection is SACD vs CD or files? Sort of irrelevant question for me. I EAC my collection, then only get the case...

Prefer active. Passive just incites the urge to 'tinker', I.e. waste a lot of time and money for little gain with amps (at the very least). Or even occupy your mind with valuable thoughts like what you may potentially be missing out on with x amp, compared to that prettier y amp. Active just...

If you're on Win7/Vista/XP you can permanently set the polling rate to 500hz or 1khz.

The Thing (2011) - 10/10 for enjoyment, realistically a 6-8/10 depending on your mood.   I get it, it isn't as amazing as John Carpenter's masterpiece. Considering what they had to work with, to attempt to reverse engineer the old set that never appeared in a completed form is quite amazing...

Public enemy no.1. Let the philistine backlash begin.

1k MAV kills, and you think I spend my time effectively?-> you're quite dim. I don't understand how it warrants a facepalm either, it's a hefty score for a MAV.

BOTH OF YOU ARE INFERIOR TO THE ALMIGHTY MAV MASTER: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/soldier/Borack2134/iteminfo/mav/247304088/pc/ To be fair with other stats, the account is shared on two PCs.

Inclined to agree that APP is bass light, and that suites it like you mentioned. Strongly disagree with your view on room acoustics. When bass frequencies can extend 20dB+ in an untreated room, controlling that is quite significant.

I liked these more than my old HD650s. However, I understand why everyone calls the 650s 'refined' when comparing the two. Great headphones though.
