I know several English majors who now work at top financial/banking companies. Think Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, etc. They make plenty of money with great bonus/benefits right out of college, even without a graduate degree. That's not to say that sort of industry will interest all English...

Well, I kept it on General assuming that it was the non-crossfeed option just based on the name. According to drarthurwells' observations, they're labeled backwards, with General sounding like it's crossfeed instead. I haven't compared the two, so I can't really confirm that.

Quote: Originally Posted by Solitary1 This is WAY OUT of line if you don't have absolute proof. Agreed. drarthurwells also recommends Pacific Valve as a purchasing option for these amps. Cattylink offers the same amp at a significantly lower cost, so I don't see why he wouldn't...

You'd be surprised -- the Sony EX 51 looks the same, but sounds boomy, muddy, and generally unimpressive when compared to some other 'canalphones.' Don't go by just looks alone

Ultimate Ears are very comfy, but aren't exactly known for their low-profile appearance. If she has longer hair, she might not mind that they stick out just a bit. I'm not sure she'd like the over-the-ear style cables, although you could theoretically wear the UEs straight down instead of over...

Well, I haven't found cheap little remotes that control audio components very well, which is why I suggested the Harmony remotes. I can use them blindly, but then I know where all the buttons are and what they should be doing. My only other suggestion would be to just buy a cheap remote that...

Seconded -- Harmony makes great remotes. They can do pretty much anything you want them to do and have a huge database of devices. You could even have it control your fans, computer, lights, etc. I have a 550 and a 720, both of which are excellent. The newer 720 is nicer with slightly newer...

Quote: Originally Posted by jjhatfield As to the what ink to use in 51 vac questions, its a point of debate over at FPN. Almost everyone agrees that Waterman Florida Blue and Waterman Blue-Black are great inks, safe for any pen, and IMO they are beautiful as well. Some folks say...

I'm pretty sure all models now ship with the clear cable, regardless of earpiece color. I had my black Super.fi 5 Pros replaced under warranty due to cracking, and the new pair I received had the clear cable. When I inquired about the color change, they said they were going for a more...

I like the Marriner version of Mozart's Requiem as well. My top 3 are: Marriner, Harnoncourt, and Norrington (a very different interpretation).

This is a great thread with great photography. Some of those photos were making me seriously jealous. There's something about a good pen that's really special. I'm a stickler for Lamy pens, and my favorite inks are Private Reserve, Aurora (great, deep basic black), and of course Noodler's.

I have a couple Lajo cases as well. I prefer clear or aluminum cases to silicone cases because of the dust/lint issue, but the Lajo cases were contructed well. I ordered direct from Lajo's website, which did have design issues, but had frequent sales for major holidays. This will sound...
