And I thought the "Harleyfication" of digital audio was bad...that sounds like something "The Absolute Sound" would make up...

Isn't that from 4chan and intentionally made as a misleading joke?

This comment on Innerfidelity was pure  facepalm :-0

The World of Audiophiles does not need more Pirates or biased users on Head Fi.  Tell Purrin and Anaxilus to sit down and hush up.( the latter who is known to enjoy boasting about his own God like Audio knowledge to people on Head Fi ).  Plotting and charting are just one part of the headphone buying process, nothing more than a tool, another piece to the puzzle and not to be solely relied opon.  Don't call yourself an Audiophile if you are obsessed with graphs and measurements, call yourself a Snobophile. REAL audiophiles love all headphones and music, enjoy the experience of it all even if its bad.  Listening to bad headphones is hilariously fun sometimes.  Everyones ears are different, I wish Tyll would make a statement on Head Fi and say stop crying, stop complaining, stop bashing others for their preferences and definitely stop brandishing measurement qualities as the end all be all reason for buying a headphone.  Enjoy the damn experience, enjoy the journey where ever it takes you.   There is a serious problem in the audiophile world with bias and snobbish behavior.  Grow up.

I just had to look that up. Wow...

"Very clever, deleting all the other comments.

But anyway, I forgot this is a pirate forum, and you-all support pirates. i.e., thugs and criminals. That's what pirates are, boys and girls. Although I seriously doubt there are any girls here. So I'll leave you to your fantasy swashbuckling and I'll go back to the real world."

At least he still has a bit of humour. Just sometimes... (Yes this is from the same thread)

Kiteki is Swedish. Formerly residing in Melbourne, Australia.

He's now in Jakarta, Indonesia. No idea what he's doing there.

I've had the pleasure of meeting him quite a few times!!!

I..   have my reservations...  about his character and mannerisms..   which I think I shall not disclose in the WWW. He is a very passionate man to say the least.

Now lets head elsewhere!!

Me: *bitching about the strange lack of treble on the HeirAudio 8.A spite boasting a ultra-high freq driver at a very well known store. Maybe the ultra-highs are specifically tuned for bats.*

WillNotBeIdentified: No bro, I'm not sure about your pair and how long you've got them but I'm gonna let my pair burn in for a week at least. The cables need to burn in. And most importantly the CIEM crossover needs to be burned in. This is the most important step for the treble to shine through..

Me: *tries not to break down in tears*

Rotational velocidensity affects all audio files encoded with lossy compression. These include mp3, aac, and ogg.
The most notable effect of rotational velocidensity is the loss of bitrate in files. A lossy audio file will lose an average of 12kbps a year. But, this can vary greatly depending on the type of storage media used.
Examples:
SATA HDD: ~12kbps
IDE HDD: ~15kbps
SCSI HDD: ~7kbps
DVD: ~16kbps
CD-R/RW: >21kbps
This can be overcome by compressing audio using lossless formats such as FLAC, APE, or TTA. These formats are designed to never lose quality over time, and will sound the same right now as they will in 10 years.

What part of not being angry
Submitted by Jazz Casual on September 17, 2012 - 9:41pm.
"Which part of not being angry or upset did you not understand? Oh I see, that would be the angry part. It's nigh on impossible trying to have an intelligent conversation with you as you continue to distort what's being said.

So yes, please move on by all means."

So I bought a pair of Sennheiser hd598s (the cream colored ones in case you are wondering).
They work pretty well for my mixing and mastering endeavors, but when I went to record with them we experienced some obvious delay/lag when the track was played back with the vocal recording on top...i assume the same would happen with an instrument? Havnt tried that yet.
Is it because of the long cable cord? Is it the headphone itself? I believe this issue arose when attempting something with garage band. This was all some months back as my complicated life has taken me away from producing anything for a while.

I got a bluedragon cable and it sorted out the treble, it was like shattering glass with the stock cable. I also taped over all the non essential holes under the pads to tighten up the treble a bit too.
