Hey folks... do any of you live in Bonn / Köln? I have a spare ticket to a Beethoven concert at the Beethovenhalle in Bonn that I will be unable to attend. Concert will have the Missa Solemnis! Thought I'd offer to y'all since there seems to be a decent slew of Teutonics on this board. It's for...

I stepped on my pair and busted the ball-and-socket joint. Just send Sennheiser an email about how you're a buffoon and ask if you can buy a replacement part. Then they'll just send you the part, gratis, as they did for me. Good stuff. Quote: Originally Posted by penguindude Don't...

While most programs are uninstalled by just dragging them to the trash from the Applications folder, some leave remants within the Library folder, either the user's Library or the root Library. You might miss gobs of MBs if you ignore that area. (been enjoying Macs for the past 14 years...

response: I think their survey got the 1's and 5's mixed up between pages... true? 1) site works poorly in Mac Firefox 2) no comment on 595 Ohms differences 3) dealer locator doesn't help since everyone has PX100s and no one has 650s 4) looks like the 595 image is a 3D rendering instead...

I'm a bit paranoid about my ears. I do have very slight tinnitus which is part of the reason I gave Classical music a decent chance a few years ago--had to find music I could groove on that paid some attention to lower dynamics, or dynamics at all. (So glad I did!!) But on long car rides (3+...

I have a Meier Corda HA-1 Mk II. Don't believe he has any more available for sale (at least none listed, but you could ask). Though you could maybe snag one from TTVJ. I love its simplicity and old-school design. I have no desire to mobilize an amp so it's perfect for me.

After a long period of listening to music primarily in my car, and then upgrading my headphones (and just doing more headphone listening) I noticed that my perception of balance had adjusted to the car setup. i.e. far from ideal, since the left tweeter is much closer than the right tweeter. So...

I've bought from Meier via both Traveler's Cheques and Paypal (latter must be direct transfer from your checking account to paypal - cannot source from your CC). Paypal is easiest if you're shipping to North America.

I found myself equally lacking in impedance once Meier offered his gamble. I was already planning on a purchase so upon that discovery any chance at dissuading myself was lost. But it took 3 weeks to deliver! Argh. Well I got it today and it very clearly sounds great. I had been listening to...

I sort of came to it the other way around. I started listening to more complex music (Jazz) simply because even if I didn't care for it, I should at least be aware of and respect the virtuosity of the these improvising jazz performers. Then I enjoyed it, and moved to progressive rock, and then...

Ack! I think Casio has now re-issued or licensed the Casio PS20 I recommended as the Adesso PS88. Sadly, the "Adesso" version is definitely uglier. Wood is grainier, tacky Adesso logo, buttons are not very refined looking. Gets good reviews still though (as it should assuming the guts are...
