I'm on the lookout for a first generation Schiit Mjolnir, so if you've got one that you don't need (and you're willing to ship it to the great white north) I'll be happy to buy it from you. Cheers!

The Lone Ranger: uninspired, directionless, tacky, ham-handed and entirely forgettable. The visuals, while impressive, did not make up for the utter dearth of talent in both the writing and directing . The acting was second rate at best and flat out pathetic at its worst. Without Johny Depp this...

Pretty much what the title says: I'm looking to move up from my Fiio e07k and was wondering which amp+dac you guys thought would a better match for the AKG Q701s. From what I've read, both are a great value and it's hard to go wrong with either, but I just I'd see if you guys had any opinions...

Quote: Well put . Though I have to say, those creepy looking babies do detract from my enjoyment of "Babycakes".    In other news, I just registered for BronyCAN. Here's hoping it's good.

Quote: That's pretty cool. Art of the Dress would be pretty hard to translate into Japanese I'd imagine, what with three syllable lines throughout.    Does anyone know if MLP has been/will be released on blu-ray? All I've been able to find is an announcement of the season one Blu-ray...

Quote: How are the songs done in Japanese? Are they the same tune? I imagine the lyrics would be roughly the same, right?

Quote: I knew there was something different about season 3.   I'll have to disagree with you about "To Many Pinkie Pies" though, I thought it was a brilliant Pinkie Pie episode. At least in parts. Okay Pinkie's motivation was kind of lame and out of character, and the clones all having...

Quote: I don't really know the different writers that well, so I tend to lump them all together.   In other news: I picked up a Build-a-Bear Rainbow Dash, and it was pretty much what I expected: low-quality loose mane, one sided cutie mark and strange sparkly wings. But on the upside...

Quote: Season 3 Spike just seemed a little... off. In "Spike at Your Service" it was really weird that he suddenly became inept after years of competence and the whole dragon code thing also sort of clashed after he turned his back on being like other dragons in "Dragon Quest". As for "Just...

Quote: Hmm. I guess I just like spike a lot. He doesn't really need something big, just a little ditty like Pinkie Pie gets every once in a while. I'll be choked if Nicole Oliver doesn't get another song, though.

Am I the only one who thinks it would be really cool if spike were to sing in season 4?

I only ever read a handful of his reviews, but those which I did read were quite well written and tasteful. I shall certainly miss sage critiques.

Is it just me or are the Japanese credits a lot longer than ours?

Off topic, but has anyone heard anything about the new Build-a-Bear ponies? All I can find are press announcements and the "official" pictures, not actual feedback.

Quote:   Heh, and I thought season one was supposed to have all the animation errors.  Quote: I may not be looking forward to the content of the episode, but I'm certainly looking forward to all this wild speculation coming to an end. Keep calm and trust the writers.

I gotta say I wasn't thrilled with today's episode. The tie-in with ep. 11 was cool and the animation was up to it's usual high standard, but the story and writing just seemed a little "off" somehow. 

This happened a few years ago, but it thought it would be worth mentioning. I used to be a background performer (extra) and on the set of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, the dude holding the boom mic was using Beats to monitor. I'm not kidding. More recently: Bose. Everywhere.

Just saw a Sony XB something, yesterday a B&W P5 and a Panasonic RT-HTX7 a few days before that.

Heh, I wish . Vancouverite here. Thanks anyway, though. 

Thanks for the replies. HD598 is a little out of my price rang (~$300 here in Canada), I hadn't thought about Grados before, I'll look into them. Maybe see if I can listen to a few.

So: a few months ago I purchased the ATH-M50 and am quite satisfied with them. However these headphones have limitations and are best suited for certain genres. I am seeking a headphone in the ~$200 range that will do what the M50 cannot. Specifically an open can with a large soundstage, good...

Quote: Well even if the worst possible thing happens (whatever that is), it'll still mean princess twilight toys which I for one am stoked for.

I completely agree with the previous two posts. As an M50 owner I can say that it is certainly a competent headphone for the ~$100 that i paid for it, but if you are willing to go to 200 euros there are certainly much better options. such as the HD598. M50 is also terrible for gaming due to it's...

Quote: Yes, I think that "moderately recessed" would be quite an apt description. Depending, of course, on your definition of "moderately".

Quote: As an owner of the newer model M50s (white box), I can say that they are neither bass light, nor do they have forward mids. They do not, however, have the molar-rattling-bass that some have reported on the older M50s. I would not describe the highs as edgy, but there certainly is a...
