So, when balancing one's headphones, do you measure in grams or are you a purist and measure in grains? Do you also spin the connectors to make sure they are in balance too?

From the CanJam impressions thread:
 

Prototype audiophile quality pen by AudioQuest (center). Suggested for use only at CanJams to take notes on high end gear. Expected retail price $499 for the silver and $899 for the gold. I haven't A/B tested it yet with the beyerdynamic pen or the Sennheiser pen. I expect the SennPen to draw warmer and deeper ink and the beyer pen to be brighter and more controversial.

Look Guys, i Trust my ears more than anyone here.

 
I used to trust my ears like you, then my brain informed me that that my ears were filling the memory-banks with idle gossip & innuendo, which was kinda bi-polarising for the brain (I tried the recommended 'in one ear & out the other' methodology with not much success).
 
moral of the story... sometimes you hear good things other times bad, at the end of the day it's all a matter of choice what you want to hear & believe.

Awfully quiet in here, lately... has there really been nothing amusing on the whole website, this past few weeks?

Apart from Astell&Kern's pricing (cf. their crystal cable at 800$), nothing of notice.
