I think I must be psychic or something... I woke up and put on Rush - Moving Pictures then started reading this and everyone is talking about Rush lol

Really sad to hear he is struggling but I guess it isn't surprising, some of the notes he hits in his older albums are insane!

Yes, and consider how long the band has been performing for. I used to be able to sing most of their material fairly well and I can tell you, there is no way in hell my voice could do it now. Same with the drumming as like Peart I have bad tendinitis in my right arm (sold my last drum set because of that actually).

Interesting stuff. This website is the most positive one I've ever been on

Anyway, keep up the good work yal, I've got the wheels turning for finding better employment and if all goes well I can join the z1r club soon!

{Removed OT post section - sorry my bad}
 
I hope you do have a change in employment fortune. Believe me I know how tough it is. I have decided to get a Masters degree myself in Social Work as it is very hard to make your way at least here in Ottawa without an advanced degree in a field. Ottawa is off the charts in terms of an educated population so the competition is really stiff and this is not at all an area with any industry to speak of so either you are into IT, high tech, the government, or you work in some kind of field that sells and services the needs of those who do make good money.

The statements above are a bit worrying for me. I am on the brink of ordering a pair, and one of the major selling points of the z1r for me is the fact that they're closed. I will be using them in front of my computer at home, where I currently use a fan. Today I am using a pair of dt770s which are doing a good job of providing isolation, but the sound is not exactly high end. Would anyone who has experienced them both care to describe how they compare, isolation wise?

Pardon,
 
Can Sony MDR-Z7 and Sony Z1R share the same balanced Sony/Kimber cables?
thanks

I've got the Z1R which i use in the family lounge, i'm sat infront of the tv with nothing playing through the 'phones and it's as if there is nothing over my ears at all, i can hear everything.i am not saying this to be critcal, just factual. Not everyone has a 'listening ' room. I've gone from Bowers and Wilkins P7's which isolated a lot better, but..........i wouldn't go back to them for all the tea in China

The fan noise cannot be eliminated completely. You do not just have the motor and fan blade noise, you have air flowing over your ear cups which generate noise too.
Not even the qc35 can eliminate noises generated by wind.
I do have a fan behind me at 2.8 meters away, while I am seated infront of the PC. But it isn't that bad. I could only the sound of wind rushing past the earcups.

Can we keep politics out of these head fi threads.

Do the Z7 cables work on the Z1R?

 

[Rowethren]

  Do the Z7 cables work on the Z1R?

 
As far as I am aware it is the same connector so they should do.

Sure, my bad, but that was pretty minor. I have had to read through all kinds of crazy OT stuff and if it is only a post here or there I really don't care or think it is a big deal. Obviously you don't agree which is fine, and you are correct the TOS for this community clearly states we should refrain from such topics so hat in hand I will apologize for the bad behaviour.

 

[GU1DO]
