I like this list a lot, I can't disagree with anything on it as the only ones I might disagree with I haven't heard, which is why I'm not disagreeing. I know Oj has heard the PM-x2 and I think it's a valid upgrade from the HD600, I think the PM-x2 takes the tone of the HD600 and scales it up a bit. $1,100-$1,200 more though? That's where it gets hazy, but I do think it's more of a direct upgrade than the HD800 as I find the HD800 to be more on the analytical side while the HD600 sounds more musical.

Agreed on the Mid-fi purgatory, more or less, though.

If I knew ... Had to download it and open in my image renderer. Apparently Armaegis can't see it either, :shrugs:

I can't even download it. There's nothing to see or click on my laptop. On my desktop I get a weird blank black, and it messes up Firefox and my tab rendering until I close it. 

You guys need to realize that Asians are secretly the most racist people alive.

We already have a bunch of preconceptions and stereotypes in our head even before we meet someone.

It's just more subtle and we generally keep it on the down low.

That's right. Like, Mexicans are very awesome. But u can't really say that cuz it may seem weird to Gaijins.

Found the problem, pic is way too big in resolution.

I call it a matter of invisible walls and distances. Only when there is mutual appreciation, true friendship or you are personally invited over for dinner or an event you are in. If not you might exist but you do not count.

I have seen it in my own family. You control the walls and distances with politeness and a pleasant and/or non-aggressive expression but the other person will never know you for real. Even with close colleagues I maintained invisible walls and distances for it helps to stay detached enough to not bother. No bothering, no opinions, only you doing your thing...
