Short tale:
Friday my old friend Chris called out of the blue babbling about some IEMs he just got (In ear monitor). He is a speaker designer as well. Basically he was dumbfounded. Eventually he said "I'm sending you a pair" and hung up. I thinks "that was strange" and go on my way.

Today they show up in the mailbox. A new pair from Amazon. So I put them on sit down and fire up my reference tracks.... FUCK ME!!

I'm used to 700$ reference cans and 1200$ reference IEMs and you don't want to know what my 9.2 reference system is worth so when I say these are something special keep that in mind.

So I go on Amazon to see what these cost, I'm expecting 100-200$

my jaw hit the floor...

I won't say these are reference quality, but for what they are... Holy shit they are good.
HA HA, another convert for the cheap Chi-Nee IEMS... :xD:
The Pistons have been a diamond in the rough since version 1, does the packaging still smell like chocolate? :tunez:

Which Ref Cans? Would those be Jerry Harvey IEM's by chance?

And you post about some cheaper cans over on ECF... :D

Nothing like the unconditional love of pets.
Which is why dogs are better than cats. Cats only love ya when it fits whatever diabolical purpose they have. Accidentally step on your cat's paw, she won't come near ya for days. Accidentally step on your dog's paw, 30 seconds later he's giving ya kisses.

Yay. Back down to 80.1 "feels like" 84. Weather Underground says we're getting soaked tonight. 50% + their 30% = 80% chance we get rain. Be raining in the morn too. Is what it is.

Spoke with a life long friend last week. We both took up life & went different ways. Think we both realized one of us grew up, changed, the other didn't. The conversation was general and only a half hour. We left saying now we knew how to get in touch with one another, "see you then".

Yeah. See you then.

Grew up going to Mennonite summer Bible school with him. We were brothers in all but blood. Well, so life goes I reckon.

I am a secret cat lover & yes, I now hate on you. Yeah, sure, right. :p :)

I do love cats secretly though. Bucky doesn't tell his Mim. He loves on me daily. For an asshole, he's a nice cat. He tries to get along with the dogs without killing them.

Cats are more like humans than dogs are?
No Lord Cromwell, humans are humans on this earth in which you are studying. :sneaka:

Tried to pet my sister's cat in a drunken happy stupor. "Kittay kittay kittay", lol. She bit me. I guess I deserved it but now I will be forever afraid. And maimed!

Gonna tell ya a little secret. Gotta promise not to tell my wife though. Several years ago while my step daughter was in the rehab hospital, my ex's sister wound up with some kittens in her yard whose mother had been killed. My kids convinced my wife that Lisa needed one of these kittens for when she got to come home. I said no way in H E double hockey sticks are we getting a cat.

All right, so my wife's aunt agreed to take a couple of the kittens in. Secretly one of the was picked out to be Lisa's. The kittens even went to visit her in the hospital. When Lisa finally got to come home, we are visiting my wife's parents, her aunt comes down with the kittens, and they hand the one that was supposed to be Lisa's to me. Lisa was so excited I couldn't say no, and besides, the little monster was cute.

OK, the part you can't tell my wife, cuz I still tell her I hate cats. I actually fell in love with the furball when I was holding her, and sometimes when wifey isn't home, I'll let her sit on my lap and I'll pet her. At least till the pup gets jealous, cuz he knows he's mine and the cats are my wife's. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that my kids convinced me we needed a second one, after a local shelter got some Katrina survivors? Yep, I love on her too, but only in secret.

Dang Kad, you're just a wonderful person and I'm so glad you, Lisa and your wife have those precious furballs.

"...when you yell at a dog, his tail will go between his legs and cover his genitals. His ears will go down. A dog is very easy to break. But cats make you work for their affection. They don't sell out the way dogs do."- Robert DeNiro

Hm, maybe DeNiro can come train the one we got leaving. He does completely the opposite. Totally ignores you, goes on and runs around like he wants.

There are two kinds of cats. You have the annoying lil fuckers who constantly are rubbing on you and meowing at you. And then you have the ones you bring into your home, feed them and take care of them and they give your the GFY attitude. Donno why but the latter ones I always loved lol
