I got a few Starbucks gift cards, so my caffeine fix will be taken care of for a little while..
so far, Super's post is the embodiment of the Christmas spirit.

Hey Jason, I got a Braun Activator shaver as well for X-mas. I love it. I've had Braun shavers in the past but have been using a Philishave lately and didn't like it at all. This new Braun is awesome. Hope you like it as much as I do.

From Amazon, I got them shipped for a total price of $43.
My next step up in sound quality would be the SR60s, but I love these cans and hopefully they're rugged enough to stand up to years of listening!
Grado sure does make killer headphones, though. 
My friend(an uber-audiophile) had a pair of RS-1s, but he still wasn't perfectly happy with them!(what are they? like $700???) Anyways, now he runs some top of the line beyerdynamic phones.
I guess he spends all of his money on audio gear, while I have to split mine between school, car stuff, and audio stuff.

| I work on a hobbyist basis recording local musicians live to 2 track in hirez 24/88.2khz and our lead engineer uses RS-1s. They are very revealing and natural sounding. I spend all my money on audio when I'm not detailing.  | |

Join Date: May 2005 Location: MD/DC Posts: 723 | I got a bunch of bar tools - speed pours, shakers, strainers, jiggers, bitters... I love mixing drinks (I'm also approaching small bar status with approximately 80 bottles on the shelf)
And a couple detailing-related items:
- QEW (though I think it's more for everyone else here... so I'll wash their cars in the winter)
- Optimum Compound
The neighbor thought she was being funny... "I saw this and HAD to get it for you":
- "GardenPlus Flashlight Nozzle" from Lowe's - yes, a trigger sprayer nozzle with an integrated flashlight. I guess I spend too much time washing cars after sunset
