What you see in the picture illustrates a scam.  You may not be interested in Headphones, or  Frequency Response Graphs, but the principle here is cross applicable.  So just consider the following. Let me keep it simple. AKG produced the k601 some years ago, with an MSRP of $300usd. Then, after a while, it discontinued it. You know why? Because the quality of these phones is similar to high end models now being sold at more than a thousand US dollars (click image above for a clearer view of the similarity between the $300usd k601 and the $2000usd Audeze LCD X). So AKG realised that they were selling us real quality at a relatively low price with the K601. Now, even for the best AKG headphones, like the K712 or K812, the latter of which costs more than a thousand dollars (approx: $1500usd), you can't get the quality o f the k601 in terms of frequency response curves. (click image below.  The $1500usd K812 is only slightly better only at the 1-3khz region....

If you thought it was ok to ‘retaliate’ after 9/11, so why begrudge them a similar right in the face of your actions in the middle east?  I’m just using your own standards - except that it wasn’t the middle east that has be...

The rise of eating disorders such as anorexia among teenagers is a sign of "narcissism" in society, broadcaster Baroness Joan Bakewell has said. In an interview with The Sunday Times , Baroness Bakewell, who is chairing the Wellcome book prize panel, said she was "alarmed" by the illness. "No one has anorexia in societies where there is not enough food," she said. It was "a sign of the overindulgence of our society, over-introspection, narcissism really," she added. - bbc Well, are you surprised. Just look at the nonsense the west keeps promoting in their fashions, celeb-worship, lax sexual attitudes, movies, music, pop culture..... Freedom for such a breed (of narcissists) is not wanting to aspire to more than the worse you can legally do.  In other cultures, the effort to curtail our worse impulses in search for our greater potentials is viewed as freedom - freedom to be more than our first impulses and the appetites of the day dictate...
