First off, I want to thank John for inviting me over to check out the amp. I appreciate all the nice things he said about me, but it really takes a special person above and beyond to open their home for someone. John is one of THE nicest, most generous people on this board. As far as the...

If you can get a good fit, The MX 400's or 500's would be an excellent choice. Reason I put it that way is that I own a pair of 500's, and I get almost no bass or bottom end with them because I find them to be large for my ears, so I don't get quite a good fit with them.

If I had a choice I'd get the dish. Cheaper, plus I wouldn't have to deal with Cablebision.

You know, I tried viewing "new posts", but sometimes when I come here, not al the new posts come up when I use that function. For instance, I just got back on here from whenI posted this thread this morning, and I tried the "view new posts" function. The new posts in this thread didn't...

With this talk about "people won't see this if it's posted here, etc", I figured I post this to find out where you all like to perouse the most here at Head-Fi. Lately I find myself mostly in the music, portable, and the Lounge (including both subforums). I almost never go in the...

I hear what you're saying, and agree to a point about Clemens. Just to be fair though, I don't ever remember Clemens taunting another player and pointing to his head or something to that effect. I also think when refering to Clemens in this manner, you have to include Martinez in the same...

I fully agree with Rizumu. Don't forget, the common folk have been getting free headphones with almost all of the portable equipment they've been buying over the years. So they may also have the perception that it's really foolish to buy something when you're already getting it for free...

If it's the non dockable, what kind of battery life are you getting? If I remember correctly, the 2G Ipods last considerably longer than the 3G's. What is it, about 10 hours you should be getting? How much battery life do you need?

...Red Sox Nation, Cub fanatics, Fish lovers, and us admirers of the Evil Empire. If last night's game was any indication, the two Championship Series, results aside, are going to be two of the best to happen in quite some time. There's going to be some great baseball played ahead, Enjoy...

Zep, with all do respect, Vwap is totally correct. Your knowledge may not be up to snuff either (as mine might not be as well). You are absolutely correct about taking pitches, but in that situation, you have to protect the plate. If it's in any way, shape, or form possible that it's a close...

I still don't think that the pitch Melhuse struck out on was a strike. I don't believe it ever caught the plate. That to me was a bigger call than the last pitch of the game, as there was only one out at the time and a fly ball could still tie the game. Of course I still don't believe Dye was...

Well excuse me, but I played the game as well. And I don't appreciate the insinuation that even if someone didn't play the game, that they couldn't imagine what it might be like to measure a potential ball versus a strike. Name drop and rattle off all your experiences you want. It doesn't...

Zeplin, two things. 1) If you have to consult replays of the pitch to see whether it was actually out of the strike zone or not, you HAVE to swing at it. You can't leave it to the umpire. Foul it off and wait on the next pitch. You don't lean on the umpire in that situation, or wait for him...

I'm not sure that the pitch was high, all I know is you DO NOT take strike 3 in that situation. If it's anywhere near the plate, you're swinging even if it's just to foul off the ball. And what exactly is Macha thinking about when he pinch hit for Dye? You don't always go to a "lefty-righty"...

Quote: Originally posted by Matthew-Spaltro It's game seven of the world series. The two teams are the boston red sox and the chicago cubs. The inning is the ninth. The score is 1-0 red sox. The count is 3 and 2. The pitcher is Pedro, the hitter is Sammy Sosa. The bases are loaded. The...

Quote: Originally posted by fewtch Don't forget, you've got to have the 'proper' amp for these. If you do (and don't like them), something must be wrong with your source. If you've got a good source, it must be your interconnects. If you've got pricey interconnects, maybe you have wax in...

Winning the division doesn't really mean anything now, since the wildcard was introduced. If you're in, you're in. But it is cool that the Cub fans got to see their team win and celebrate with them. Good for them, it's always fun.

Not to dull the love for the Cubs and their accomplishments this year, but don't forget they were in the playoffs in '98.

This is what I love about this years playoffs: Twins Marlins Just two more daggars in Selig's "can't compete with smaller payrolls" rubbish. Plus the Royals hung in there till the end, as did the fighting Phils. And you have to hand it to the Brewers. Way to play tough and be the...

If it happens I'm looking forward to another Yanks/Red Sox ALCS. That should be fun.
