    AKG K702 Vs. Sennheiser HD 598

    I bought the K702 due to its reputation as being light on bass, my Sennheiser HD555s had too much! The initial few months of use...they hardly got used, I could listen maybe for 15 minutes before my ears would hurt. Piercing highs and no bass to speak of!    However, after a year or so of...

    How can I feel something this intense? - A surreal feeling of infinite hope?

    I don't really think what you describe is that uncommon. After all, the concept of hope in the face of adversity is an oft-used theme in all sorts of artistic work.   For me, Armin van Buuren - Burned with Desire has this sort of happy/sad epicness (?) that you are talking about:

    Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!

        Here is the Antea KS on a 6.25" wrist. The slim bezel and white dial really make the watch wear larger than it really is, but as you can see it looks fine here! I'm not a fan of the lugs, a bit spartan for my taste, but this watch is up there when it comes to timeless beauty.  ...

    Oh yes, House of Cards was utterly brilliant. Go on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4aiZnPHGfA&feature=related  and you can see all of Francis Urquhart's most searing lines :D   Quote:

    New Tomb Raider/Lara Croft preview @ E3, featuring a very familiar IEM!!!!

    The narration was waaay over the top, it got annoying after the first 10 seconds! Now they need to make the in-game graphics look like that trailer and it should be quite spectacular.   wind016, Square Enix bought Eidos, the original owner of the TR franchise, so SE is now the title publisher.

    Do 320kbps mp3 files really sound better? Take the test!

    Listened to them about 3 times each, and I picked #2 :D. Listening again, the major difference I can tell, and would appreciate to have, is the 'spacing' around the vocals in #1, they are more clearly defined among the other instruments than in #2! They both sounded just great though, more than...

    HOT SAUCES, A FAVORITE OR THE HOTTEST YOU'VE EVER HAD!

    Generally I am not a fan of HOT hot sauces...I don't consider heat to be a flavour. I do love sriracha though, mainly because it is delicious (and with a small kick of heat at the end). Scrumptious on toast with cheese!

      Took this shot ages ago but I didn't really pay attention to it...sometimes it helps taking a second look at old shots that might have gotten lost in the set!

    Q&A (questions and answers) - Head-Fi TV, Episode 005

    Quote:   In the previous thread it was mentioned that Colorware will be willing to do this for individuals as well. I think the price is around $300, pretty normal for Colorware. Very cool but very pricey ;)

    Amelie - Jeunet

    I love this movie, utterly brilliant, with an equally brilliant soundtrack (Comtine D'un Autre Ete: L'apres midi  has one of the highest play counts in my itunes!)   Maybe I should get it on Bluray :D

    Uncharted 2. What an amazing game. Polished to perfection, I'm trying to play it as slowly as possible, just to make sure I don't rush through such a rare gem.   Also 'playing' GT5, I've gotten to professional level but I now need to grind in order to get more money to continue, and sorry, I...

    Tron Legacy 5/10   This is a movie that looks and sounds brilliant, but has nothing more than that! It's shocking how epic some of those scenes looked, so perfectly envisioned. All for a crap movie.

    My summer shoes, Adidas Kundo:   These shoes are best worn in a hermetically sealed environment, very hard to clean, and they scuff very easily :D

    Keyboard-Fi

    Enermax Aurora in silver is what I use. A solid block of aluminium with plastic keys, the thing weighs a ton and the all-silver look matches my (old style) macbook pro very nicely :D I've had it for around 3 years now, the finish is just like it was when I bought it.   The key action is...

    What book are you reading right now?

    Quote: I've finished reading the first two books, currently on the third (System of the World). Quicksilver can be quite slow at times, in fact the whole series is a slog. The end part of the second book was really good, almost worth reading the preceding parts, but I would start the...

    Never Let Me Go - 8/10   Superbly shot film with some poignant imagery and great acting that ultimately doesn't really go anywhere.  It can be very depressing at times with its desaturated colours, slow pacing, and characters who are on the brink of death right at the apex of their youth.  ...

    High-'end' chocolates: Toblerone, Ritter Sport, what else?

    Ritter Sport Neapolitan Wafer is my favourite, Yoghurt being second in the Ritter Sport range.   Valrhona is good chocolate to savour, but my go-to is Lindt Sea Salt. There is another chocolate thread on here somewhere too!

    Black Swan 10/10   Natalie Portman was totally brilliant in this movie, particularly at those moments when the black swan is revealed (the finale was done very well!). The movie itself is a rather in-your-face look at the sacrifices artists make in the name of art, but I'm not really sure...

    Free 88/24 music download from Benchmark, makers of the DAC1!!

    'In the Water' is just amazing! It sounds so...alive.   Here is where the recording really supports the style of music, it reminds me of Meaghan Smith's The Cricket's Quartet.
