It's not so much the gear, as the fact that they have proper houses, with matching furniture, suites, carpets etc.

Somehow I just never made it that far.

I plan to have that. Something like this: http://www.audioheritage.org/images/jbl/photos/home-speakers/paragon-color.jpg
When I get my own place after college, it will be a mid century/60s/70s style like that.

Or something like this... Alex had it right http://www.cgarchitect.com/content/portfolioitems/2012/03/47424/CWO-Night_large.jpg

It's probably because the kitty litter is the place in your house that's most similar to a natural environment they'd want to poop in. It's interesting stuff the amount of instinctual knowledge animals have

Cats are desert animals and are hunters. They instinctually bury their droppings to hide the scent from potential prey.

Don't really know but that is one of the things I love about cats. I noticed that my previous cat could spot a new cat toy as I was taking it out of the bag. He would get all excited. :) I tried eliminating every "tell" I could think of. That never did any good.

You might be the first person to mod their hearing to fit HD800 (I assume they're stock?) as opposed to the other way around :)

Lol, it wasn't voluntary!

They are not stock: they have the cork-ring mod (oj-neg? I forget) but they are still giving me at least some higher notes that I couldn't here before, along with greater vocal clarity.

I am not amping them to their max. In fact, mostly I'm still using the headphone out of my Cyrus amp for convenience. My little GeekOut 450 does a slightly better job. But... for various reasons I do not want a tube amp (a bit blasphemous around here!) and... My audio budget has long-since been nil, and look what I just did!

Minus balls, he is still speaking to me, But not much.

If a. you were in the same continent and b. I wasn't in the middle of moving I'd take you up on that :p

Have 3 in my house. They are all psychopaths

They moved out.

Well... mum has moved them to a place nearby. They will not be nearly as safe, but, even if we were to fetch them back I don't think it would work out. Ever tried arguing with a cat?

Not sure that mum is still counted as our cat... but, come mealtimes, I expect she will be!

... , but it is still okay to spell shit like, well, just s h i t, when talking about... shit and stuff.

I also like NutSac bags. https://nutsacbags.com

I could not forget the Goons! Spike Milligan was one of the Great Grand-daddies of surrealistic British humour.

Born in the early 1950s, protocol required me to be in bed by 6pm. Even when I became a High Court Judge! (see Python). But I was allowed to listen to the, ahem, wireless until quite late, and started enjoying BBC radio drama, as well as the comedies, when I was five or six.

When I was permitted to stay up with the parents and the TV, I frequently preferred the radio. My reason... the pictures were better!

I never thought of modding these 'phones. But if I did, it would be for... more treble

???

Food for thought:

More treble would probably just require less materials than what I listed.

Thanks @Bill-P. Probably my lazy answer will be to replace the Senn foam.

In an ideal world, if I was to undertake a moddification, the aim would be to achieve a more balanced sound, but I don't have balanced hearing. Actually, I found the HD600s pretty "balanced" even before my hearing took another turn for the worse.

Another vote for Anker. They make good USB-Micro to USB-C adapters as well.

My favourite is Aukey, but the vote for Anker is noted and the recommendation appreciated. I have Aukey QuickCharge chargers in the house and car, and quite a few of their cables.

I'm no cable guy, but hey, we now live in a world where many old USB cables won't even charge a modern phone.

The Macbook Pro I have is all USB-C/Thunderbolt 3. I bought a whole mess of adapters after I bought the laptop. That being said, it's kind interesting to be able to charge my laptop and smartphone with the same cable.........if I used Android......

Palemoon is not able to use many of the old FF extensions, but I won't need classic theme restorer as it is committed to not changing to the the recent FF look anyway. I suspect the resources are stronger.

Which will continue if the developer has an unfortunate encounter with a bus? Which is more likely to get updates as more web dangers unfold? Important questions.

I switched to Chrome a while back for several reasons. One is no active flash updates as those are done automatically on Chrome’s end (and I was previously using VMware desktop emulator quite a bit on iPad and Chrome is just plain better for that), another is that it runs lighter and feels quicker. I will prob give the new FF a try though.

Hopefully we can find & settle on a fast, properly-supported & worthy-enough Fork... before the final ESR v52 comes out, I think by June 26th(?), as that's when the Official Security/Patch Support gets dropped permanently. *Sigh* :(

@Koth Ganesh, certainly! but... well, you know, buying stuff needs a quantity of a certain resource. And this case, a rather noticeable quantity! :)

@Koth Ganesh "You want to buy both? :)"

You want to sell both? :)

Even if it didn't end in a deal, that is a conversation I would want to have, at least. I now keep my eye on the HD800 prices online. If the deal you took advantage of came up again, I'd snap it up.

If I was in USA, I'd have a used pair by now.

Now we known what the "S" stands for...

Goes well with the "S"19 perhaps.

The ironic part is "neutral" is bullshit. Its about as obtainable as the speed of light or absolute zero...

...Then if you found "neutral" (which you can't), 6 months of the aging process would take your ears out of it.

There were quite a lot of hijinks going on in Switzerland during WWII. Just sayin’.

Wait until someone starts 'transparecy campaign' !

We got through the night ok and the sun is shining now :)

Yesterday was the most rainfall for the city since the day in 2015 when it did get flooded. But this time, we start with empty reservoirs.

Actually, city desperately needs rain. Just... the infrastructure and management is terrible.

Amplifier, headphones, etc is put away in high place. Staring at an empty desk place.

Cats are fickle, but that's part of what makes em so fun! You get to poke fun at em during nap time, get scratched to ribbons, then back to belly rubbing around dinnertime XD

I get a lot of foxes in my garden making that alarming "I'm being stabbed RIGHT NOW" noise (I live in the city, where there are more foxes than the countryside)

@bengo I am so sorry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR_WkoCE

@monacelli, perforated is not posh, and doesn't pass marketing. They see it and think ulcers. And they are all too young and ignorant to think of the Defenestration of Prague. Not that I know any more than some people got killed by being thrown out of a window

@Lyer25, I don't have a fear of holes, except the subset that are windows. Anyone have the word for that?

Especially windows on the sides of sheep.

@Elnrik, I threw my sheep into the mincer. The meat is all spoilt by bits of glass and PVC.

My /other/ hobby is skiing with disabled people... blind, one legged, wheelchair bound, CP, you name it

I also use a Maltron two handed keyboard daily due to RSI

@bengo, sorry to hear about your rsi.

@Kunlun, Really... that's just the /last/ straw!

:)

Ok gents, you made me smile :) When I first saw the subject matter I was thinking IKEA type bookshelves.

I always have to do a double take when people talk about "BS speakers."

According to me, that would be speakers for playing MQS through :)

And BS for Bob Stuart. What a coincidence! :/
