Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?
Wow, this thread is still going! (Member since June of 2001) I'm rarely active anymore as I don't think I have much to offer! My only complaint is the label finally came off of my official Head Fi coffee mug. Is there a warranty???- Budgie

Results of a lossless versus lossy blind listening test
I believe your test was successful in that it eliminated confirmation bias as a variable. My opinion is confirmation bias is one of the biggest factors in audio preferences.- Budgie

Sony MDR-7506 repair? Never done this.
If I remember correctly, there are a three Phillips screws under the foam covering the drivers. I was able to squish the earpad aside enough to get a scew driver into the screws by poking it through the foam. The screws are recessed into indents in the plastic. That was several years ago. Maybe...- Budgie

I would suggest taking a look in the plumbing section of a hardware store - lots of different size plastic pipes and end caps and such - as a possible source for weather proof outdoor ready enclosures.

Focusrite VRM Box
Don't have a Mac, but, it does not display any weird problems (stops, etc) on my Windows 7 machine. I also have used it on an older (1.6 ghz celeron) laptop (Win 7) without problems.
