My flieger is also my favorite watch... Sinn 356 acrylic

Recently bought a 2011 CR-V.  It is a great practical daily driver.  More pics here.

I also have an Aerospace.  I bought it used and sent it to Breitling USA a few years ago for service.  It came back looking brand new.  It gets the most wrist time of all the watches I own, mainly due to its practicality.  I'm a researcher and use the chronograph + timing bezel to time...

I also used to own both the MS-1 and SR225.  Here is an old comparison I wrote... http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/250464/ms-1-vs-sr225-a-comparative-review-with-pics

I think the easy remedy to this design flaw is to put the U-shaped notch on the other edge of the yoke. That is, have the notch facing towards the inner cup rather than the outer cup. A safer alternative is to make the yoke C-shaped, just as with the stock plastic piece. Nonetheless, glad to...

For one, the "i" version has a thicker cable. You would have to pry the driver from the wooden cup, desolder the old wires off, and solder the new ones on. You would also have to enlarge the cable hole in the wooden cup. Not so easy, IMO.

From what I've seen, it seems like 99.9% of people who claim massive changes after burn-in never compare their "burned-in" headphone to one that is brand new out of the box. This would really substantiate their claims that physical changes in the headphone are occuring and "100% real" as often...

APC New Standards for me. I have one in indigo and one in black. They are by far the most well fitting jeans (or pants for that matter) that I have ever worn. A fit pic of the black pair...

TMK, this mod was originally my idea (see post #2, #14, #27). It is nice to see that people are still interested and benefiting from it. To bad all my Grados already have this mod from the factory.

I just got mine this morning (#213; ordered 5/29). Like others, I did not get any shipping notification email, they just showed up. The build quality on my pair is quite good overall. I was literally saying to myself "pleeease give me a good one" before I opened the box. Other than a tiny...

I just confirmed my order with Todd. I'm not too pleased with the F1 error, but hey, at least it makes me feel better that 480 other units will also have this mistake. Also, seeing that the limit will now be 500 units max will make them that much more valuable.

Nice video. Certainly a good "up yours" to the wiseguys who accused you of Photoshopping.

My fave song to test Grados is Hurts So Good by John (Cougar) Mellenkamp. The growl and twang of the guitars really shine with Grados.
