Woodied Sennheiser aka SennGrado Tour Thread
I was thinking of gently placing toothpicks in the driver vents (to keep them clear) and then applying clay to the entire rear - thought about it when I saw the driver, but not sure how well this would work out.- Suisou

The Canon Thread
Love the L-lineup loads, but I've yet to find a lens that gives me the fizz to be hadfrom a manual focus lens. I've adapted several takumars, yashicas, CJ Zeiss and Leica lenses to my 5D. Samples: Tack sharp, but I do miss AF in certain situations.- Suisou

Best dac/amp for under 60 dollars. im a noobie
This is probably true. I'll know for sure once my Burson comes in. All I know is I've heard a $6,000 speaker setup and I've been chasing the high ever since. Granted, speakers are another realm.- Suisou

The Canon Thread
I prefer primes over zooms, but there are times when the convenience of a zoom is much needed. Sharp images on my copy of the 16-35L MK at 1/20s was unheard of. If it wasn't the softness, it was the backfocus. And if all else failed, chromatic aberrations were there to seal the deal. I'm...- Suisou

How do you like your 16-35L? The copy I had a few years ago had backfocus issues along with it being unsharp wide open.- Suisou

Not sure if I fully understand what you mean, but if it's what I think you mean, I still get odd looks when I tell people how old they really are. I would recommend a pair if you could find one, but can't speak for the MPs and LPs. I've heard goober-george's LPs and can't say I liked...- Suisou

Sorry, I should have clarified what I've already done to them. I couldn't stand the rotting foam....they would flake off and leave traces everywhere. I was finding bits of foam around up to a week after I had changed out the foam. I originally wanted to remove the foam completely and not...- Suisou

I've got a pair of Grados on my head at this very moment with a pair on Sennheiser 600s next to me. You're right that the brightness is the sound signature that many of us (I presume) enjoy from them, but there's a fine line between being bright and being overly bright to the point of...- Suisou

The Canon Thread
+1 But as a Canon user from the beginning, I cannot empathize with users who are looking to switch to a Canon for the 'colors'. They're all inherently good when balanced IMHO. For me the path was 20D - 30D - 50D - 40D - 1D MK II and then I met the 5Dc. Promptly sold the rest...- Suisou

I own a pair of EP sextetts and absolutely adore them. They might not sound as good or balanced as other cans I own, but the mids are 'magical' for the lack of a better word. I'm considering re-cabling them with solid silver core cables. I tried dampening the driver with organic...- Suisou

Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!
I agree with this sentiment completely, so much that it hurts. There's a level of intimacy I have with my mechanical watches that I don't feel for quartz watches. I've owned a small handful of quartz Omegas and accutrons over the past few years and ended up selling the lot. To each his own I...- Suisou

Well, the setup I listed above is an all-tube system. Granted, they won't appeal to everyone and won't have the PrAT of a solid state amp, but the warmth and imagery makes it an extremely casual and pleasurable experience. To each his own I suppose.- Suisou

Maybe just a DAC? At 48 Ohms, you could potentially hold off on the amp. Either way, I'd recommend the uDAC.- Suisou

Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!
And I agree with the points you've made, but I guess I am bitter over the quartz crisis. As humans, we are obsessed with time. But I do not require the accuracy of a chronometer or the detailing of a patek phillipe. I've owned three Tissot Seastars and oddly enough, I prefer them over my...- Suisou

Ask and ye shall receive. I owned a lot of watches over the years, many Omegas and Tissots, but this one has turned to be my favorite. Not initially, (not by a long shot), but it has all the qualities I look for in a watch; exceptionally accurate, simplistic face and strong - but short and...- Suisou

Best keyboards for gaming!
+1 Played FPS and RPGs with my old thinkpad keyboard for 3-4 years and absolutely loved the keys. I know a few friends who play RTS games and swear by keyboards with anti-ghosting and allow for custom macros, but cannot attest to this since I tend to gravitate away from that genre. I...- Suisou
