Question for T70 owners, I'm looking at purchasing the T70 used, but the person says the letters on the cups are missing... Are they stickers or something? Or does this just scream counterfeit?- RandomShortGuy

DT990 600 Ohm Driver was intermittent and is now unresponsive.
Hey all. I bought a pair of DT990s 600 Ohm about 2.5 years ago. About 6 months ago my left driver would randomly cut out (they've been subject to falls every so often due to my being clumsy and the really long cord, but there haven't been any serious falls as of late). I could remedy the...- RandomShortGuy

Listening Fatigue with DT990/600s
Quote: Forgive me if I'm being a complete idiot here, but I was under the impression that the Schitt Valhalla had an output impedance of up to 600 Ohm, hence why I bought them in the first place. Also, I couldn't find anything about a ETY P-S cable on google other than them being...- RandomShortGuy

Listening Fatigue with DT990/600s
Quote: Really now? I was not expecting that at all... By The Way was the first CD I ever bought and it's always been one of my favorites, and I figured it'd be the perfect reference. Oh well. The other problem is a lot of my lossless stuff like Parov Stelar have have an intentional...- RandomShortGuy

Listening Fatigue with DT990/600s
So far I've only had about 50 or so hours of burn in. As for music, I'm listening to Daft Punk and Red Hot Chili Peppers at around 900 Kbps as my reference.

how many of you guys cook???
Aw man! Jerk chicken. It's hard to explain, it's a little bit spicy, has an abundance of flavor, with an almost smokey taste to it as well. Great texture to it as well. I highly recommend looking up some recipes for it. It's not expensive to make, and it is delicious.- RandomShortGuy

THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD
Man, you guys make me want to really invest some time into another headphone stand. I just bought a $5 bamboo banana holder, cut off the metal hook and sanded it down to make it smooth. Looks kinda cheesy compared the things I'm finding in here.- RandomShortGuy

We've all had shipping mishaps. I'm sorry that it happened to you, but it's not that bad really. You didn't state that you needed the headphones as soon as possible. Yeah, it's lame you have to wait 2-3 more weeks, but I own them, and they are great headphones. Just be patient and just figure...- RandomShortGuy

As for what I can cook? Just about anything. Now, if it will be good? That's the real question. I'd say I'm pretty good with spicy and cheese emphasized dishes.
