A Great Uncle of mine invented the IBM Selectric typewriter. The one with the big, bouncing ball of type.

I was having this problem again (for the second time in two days) with my roomate's unit. DanG and I had a conversation earlier this year about not dropping the batteries into the compartment, so I knew it wouldn't be the inside springs. tone-deaf, you are brilliant! thank you! I assume...

DanG, I had the EXACT scenario play out two nights ago. Spooky. Hadn't used my player in a while; the whole bit. The only thing I did differently than you was thatI tried replacing them with two extra batteries I have stored (not in a player) and they were as dead as the ones in the player...

Nick, I hate you for that. You are no longer the coolest guy in town. Nope not any more. Nuh uh. Nope. I will never ever forgive you.

That's because you're listening to Electonica music. Man, that's so bad, I have to amend this post.>>>> Actually, no I have not experienced it for myself. I will say however that at the meet this weekend, I got a little static shock as I was handing off the headphones to someone else. I...

Well, it was the "coolest" bunch of geeks I've ever seen in one room. I had a great time and besides being cool, these guys are just downright nice guys. I was practically the grandpa age-wise, but it was great to talk to people about headphones and music and not have them glaze over after 20...

Ha! Well, you don't have to actually spit on them or lick them like well, something. You basically can just wet your lips and "kiss" the tips of the Etys. You know, kinda just brush the tips on the outside of your moistened lips. You'll get used to it. Come on! I know you WANT to.

I use Video Essentials also and it's great. I use it to calibrate my projector and scaler and the instructions are very good. If I can do it, anyone can. There is something out there called the Ulimate DVD. My advise is to run the other way if you see this one on the shelf. It is horrible. I...

Well, HA! You beat me to it......while I was writing the following you guys already had the suggestion, but I want to post it anyway.... Well, as a Newbie, let me say that I'm afraid we as newbies don't thank you guys often enough for being so patient with us. One of the things that struck me...

I'll be there. don't have a hell of a lot to bring yet but I do have a lot of questions. Let me know the specifics. steven TA w/ airhead bag and harness,,, Cosmic w/ traveler bag Ety 4S, Sony V6, E888 Maybe Bose QC for some laughs. I might order the HD600 w/ RED cable tomorrow...

Thanks for the link, Tktran. I knew I'd seen it, but couldn't find it w/ quick searches.

"This is one of my favorite parts of the tour. Say hello to our residents, Pedro and Inez. Pedro is working on an "adobe." Can you say that with me? " "Adobe." "Inez is holding a clay pot, of which she seems to be very proud. She has decorated it with much paint and glaze."

BOOGIE NIGHTS. One of the greats!

Well, ******, that's typical! I'm always the easy mark on a practical joke! "Just flip me over and call me a pancake!"

LOL!!!

edog, I know you are into dance/electronica so I can see how you would want to recreate that "club sound" but that's good that you don't use it w/ the amps. I would tell you to try to force yourself to listen w/out the bass boost for one full day and see what you think, especially w/ the Etys...

17th or24th would be best for me. That may give us some time to get Todd to send us some goodies to demo. BTW--does 50 posts count for anything?

ROFLMAO!!!! People at work here are looking at me funny!

We are such "guys". This list is total "man show" stuff. So I have to put in my plug for "American Beauty". You have to be old enough to understand dissapointment to get this movie, but it's brilliant. And jodokast, people look at me funny when I put Perfect Storm on a great movie list...

Every time I see these D-25s posts I get sick to my stomach. I gave my old one away to my maid years ago. <hangs head in shame>

LOL ! KR if that's true, then the joke's on me! The reason I believed B&Wman is that I hear this all day long at my work with the Muggles I have to work with. People just don't know the truth about Bose. I bet every 2nd desk at my office has one of those Bose radio thingys they advertise on TV...

I agree...my newly-discovered-in-a-junk-drawer V6's are very harsh in uppers. Also, I find the bass a bit boomy. That being said, I have spent a good portion of the past few days playing with these. I like 'em over-all. They just aren't my "reference" phones. But I'm VERY glad to know...
