You referenced the stoning scene from "The Life of Brian" so 

That is what happens when you eat a delicious piece of halibut.

It wasn't the only fishy smell at HA either.  And the chips were soggy.  When I said "the chips are soggy" they said "you're eating them wrong" and "all chips are crispy and what is more all fried food is *equally* crispy" and "I have never eaten chips but I know for a fact that they are always crispy, therefore you are a liar, a moron, and a troll."  But the chips were still soggy, even after being seasoned with rocks and my bone splinters.

Hi. I've been lurking here for a while after reading Purrin's dac thread on head-fi and thought it was time I registered. Reading of the more open hostility between head-fi towards changstar members after having a post of mine edited there (I suggested searching "purrin" and "dac" or something to find the new dac chart), I wish I'd done it sooner.

Welcome Julian67 share your music tastes in the music threads, I am interested in Scandinavian just because i used to eat at a hofbrau when i was young.

Hi all.

I've not done much lurking; I have 'stumbled' around, once or twice, but I've recently joined and have already added a couple posts, BEFORE I spotted this introduction thread. My apologies. I hope that the plank isn't beckoning!!!

I ended up here, strangely, because of another member who mentions their deleted (Head-fi) post (a couple of posts up this page), because of their deleted post (I read it before it.....disappeared). So, thanks to them.

A bit about me:
As my moniker might suggest, bass is of some importance to me. That's not to say that I think it's everything. If it's easy to confuse me with a basshead, as some have, that's understandable. But actually, my quest is more to find equipment, both headphone and loudspeaker, that can accurately reproduce the deepest bass in a realistic fashion; the bass is just as important as the rest of the frequency spectrum, but is so often 'under-represented' (or just mis-represented (or just ignored completely!!!)!!!).

My headphone journey has been quite short; I'm approaching middle-age (read 'past it'), and have done most of my listening via speakers, and would prefer to do so if my current circumstances allowed. But, living abroad, I have now become a regular headphone user and have settled with a pair of planar phones driven by a clone type amp (check my profile for more info).

But basically I like listening through minimalist, purpose built gear, and I turn my nose up at those who listen through ipods (mp3) and personal confusers alike; it's just not 'proper' hifi, no matter how expensive the headphones!

My reason for being here: I guess, like most, I want to learn from the experiences of like minded people and, maybe just occasionally, contribute something of use, to someone (even if it is purely comedy).

Talking of comedy; surely a bit of this won't hurt.

Enjoy (I hope).

Just in case that wasn't enough "Aaaaaarrrrrrrrr M'laddy!!!", for you. Here's a bit more, (thanks to Vladimir the Inhaler).
(As it is possible to have too much of a good thing, I'd suggest playing this clip from around 1.40, so as not to overdo it.)
