  Have NOT gotten to the modding yet!
The cars took longer than I anticipated on Saturday.
Plus after seeing Lors' encyclopedic modding guide, I want to try something inbetween the "Gentleman's" and the "BassHead's".  Need leather.  No Blue tack at the house.
 
Lors,
THANK YOU for staying on!
The honorary HYPE-Master baton is in your capable hands!

^ D'YAM Godfather Pata is a BALLA'!!!
... i see your hustle now, with all the monies saved from these Logans go buys cars with them.

BOSS!!!
 
 
 
  Cable-rolling update:
 
Tried the Auvio 3-ft. cable ($14.99) at Radio Shack (also come in 6-ft length for $17.99).  They come in several colors, including purple.
 
Cable is fairly thin and gnarly (doesn't "lay" nicely).  After about 15 hours, they give a snappy and lively 3-D sound with fairly smooth extended treble, slight midrange forwardness, (tight) midbass warmth, and nice rendering of cymbals and strings.  Soundstage seems a wee bit smaller than stock cable, though.  A fun and lively listen.  Give it a try.  Radio Shack is good abou returns as long as you save packaging and receipt.
 
There is also a "Radio Shack"-branded cable that looks exactly like the Auvio, but costs $3 more. 
 

^ Thanks for takin' another one for the Logan Hype Team meng. Cable rollin' is gonna eat into your cars fund BAD though!!!

me in deeeeep meditation......
the comfort of this monstrosity makes me feel guilty.
u guys are SUFFERING in silence,
having to toe this hype like good slaves.with a vice on your head. 
those bruised ears..need healingpads. :p

 
yes a gentleman's crossbreeding into a basshead is the ultimate.....
i meant to keep this secret for awhile, only for the initiates,
but it seems it's been revealed to none other than the HIGHPriestPataBurd 
Now to find some rhinestones...
 
May the HYPE n great sufferance  be with u all...

This alphamod was begging to be birth...
precipitated by the desecration of my NtuneCrapads.
And that deep seething pain n pleasure,
each time i put on the vice...urges me on.
 
Opened the drawer, behold a CD cover..!
Inexplicable glance at the size of the alphapads-without a mission.
I said to myself, one last effort
for the Hype community...silently seeking salvation,
compassion,  stupidity overwhelmed me.
 
With deft hands, precise snipping skills...n dimming eyes..
10mins  n IT IS FINISHED. What a Beau...this side of things. :p

well I ordered them... (obviously to get the $35 free shipping with a phone case I needed... lol). They should arrive wednesday. I'm expecting godly headphones after all this hype :p. Oh and if you need to destroy the earpads to mod these what earpads that don't cost a ridiculous amount of money ($60 alpha pads for a $70 headphone... pshh) work well and don't alter the sound too much.
 
Dude sf, have you heard of "The Wind Rises" (the movie) going to try to get time to go to san francisco to watch it this friday... I think that's the release, seems like an interesting movie (probably not the right place for this lol, but you know Bay Area and all)

Y dun u just go ahead and order a few more.:p
 
be patient n giv your head/can a chance to bloom...
then bend a little, tweak a little, n u have a HE6 killer, 
a D7kT1bomber...out of a sansaclip+.
 
=========================================
cups..? any spare cups in your drawer are potential victims,
i look for stuff in drawers around the house. :p
 
Just saw this sheepskin for Sony7506, 30bucks..its slightly too big for the MikrosCups..just slightly.
Not sure if u can pull it off with the cupmod...if u do, then it wont look that "naked" from the outside angle ;P

Hohoho, my Mikros have apparently arrived at my local post office. I don't think I've ever had an international order ship that quickly.

Now I wonder how long it'll take the post office to process them. Probably longer than the shipping took :rolleyes:
