Not sure if that comment was aimed at me but I have been nothing but respectful to you because you own the cans I will buy when the whole spectrum is given equal attention. Th900 or DX1000 are my future laid back listening cans. That's already been decided. I only argue bass impact because I will but it whatever it is. A person comparing 40mm drivers housed in plastic that are tuned very well and do hit above their price line and driver size...... being compared to 55mm cnt drivers with a hard housing...being compared it seemed as being equal or inferior was off the charts. Like I said...objective v.s. subjective. It's not even an argument I'm just a tool for acting like a fool but there is no real debate in there.
PocketSmiley and RPGWizard are assets to this thread. They both post long well articulated posts explaining their position/opinion/facts
I prefer that over snarky one liners 10 times outta 10 myself
HBB, my comment about the thread being tedious was a general comment. Guys quoting thread after thread and not taking the time to cut pics out, and when some of the comments are about a half a page long, well, it does get tedious. I forget the term when you "hide" a portion of the thread (spoiler?) and we can all use it more to save having to sift through a bunch of stuff we've read two or three times already.
I actually think you are an asset to the thread as you've been very articulate with your comments, have taught us all a lot about what a "true" basshead is if there ever was one. The likes of you we have never seen/heard before. Your passion is obvious and I find it amusing. One thing - you've said many times no one would tell you about the SZ. Know why? No one but gelocks knew about it and he tried to get us to buy it from him many times. Kind of wish I had now. You're a pioneer, embrace it.
Regarding your admission about your mother - dude, I hope you've made peace with yourself because in the end it is the man in the mirror that matters and only you can forgive yourself. Your regrets are genuine, that is so true, and I respect the pain you've endured. Hang in there.
