Those are some incredible hearing aids...

No no no, didn't you read the fine print?  he wasn't lying, he did infact hear things he'd never heard before, just, this was the first time he remembered to wear his hearing aids while listening....

Funny stuff, guys. I can not think of a good comeback. But it sure is nice to get paid to listen to music and then say the same thing over and over again.

Does this mean that a frozen wet blanket would make a killjoy diaphragm that's overly controlled, deeply repressed, with tapless toes, and hard to live with? 
 
[slight Atlanta drawl] Might could..

So dampening the damping material will aid to dampen it further, but I suspect that a cryo treatment would increase unwanted reflections, as well as result in potential dissolution of the dampened damping material.

I once damped an ortho wit a dampened damping pad.
 
Worked great until it dried out.
 
(thin slice of Poly-vinyl-alcohol foam, fwiw)

Hmm, we could market this as a "dual phase damping system"...

PATENTED!

I'm an engineer! Everything I say has more credibility! Especially when I use exclamation points!!!

This explains why the YH1000 drivers are so often corroded. Too bad your weren't there back then to point out the misunderstanding before they started the dampening of the YH1K.

Damping: controlling the twitchy oscillatory motion of something
Dampening: Making something wet by throwing water on it
 
That's what I think of when I hear those terms, yet there's a whole potful of instances where the terms are used interchangeably, and on the Intarnette at least, dampening appears to be winning. Regardless, here on Head-Fi, the terms mean the same thing. We're controlling unwanted vibration, whether it's a diaphragm that's become overly eager at resonance, or a headphone enclosure that "sings" along with the music produced by said diaphragm.

let me get this straight. 
 
If you are of a larger persuasion with diaphoretic tendencies, your listening experiences changes until maximum saturation occurs? ( maybe this is why yamaha vented most of their headphones )
 
just saying........dB 

 

[Armaegis]

An autogenous diaphoretic dampening damping scheme... I've got it! We'll hire a fitness guru to act as spokerperson and lead the clients through aerobic routines while wearing headphones. Lose weight and achieve audio nirvana simultaneously!

 

[ujamerstand]

no need for the gym. Design the headphone in a way that induces a ton of sweating, like the HP-1s. Instant sweat in minutes! (You may consider that the burn in time.)

I just got this box in the mail and opened it to a very kinky scene. 

 

 

[sachu]

gah!!..Pm incoming!!!

 

[VulgarDisplay]

Kinky scene indeed.  What is that all over the one on the right side in the middle?

Looks like someone dropped their gummy worm. Nothing to get excited about...
