SR80 headphones

When I was a teenager, I used to listen to my vinyl seven inches while sitting in an expansive armchair in the bedroom I shared with my brother. We had placed the speakers on the two armrests of the chair, and I don't think the fidelity of any system I've had has been as good as that setup. Granted, it had obvious flaws (in that I couldn't listen to any format but vinyl, for starters), but it had its perks. Later on, when I bought a home theater system with an optical receiver, the quality was very good, but I guess I just never really set it up in such a way that I would be surrounded by its warmth. And now, finally, I have found a pair of headphones (thanks to Zack) that sounds as good as my records used to.

In other news:
Whenever I come across an issue on my computer, I try to see if others have the same problem (a Google search can resolve most problems). One problem that I can't seem to find documented anywhere is the instability of all BitTorrent clients on my iBook G4 12" running Mac OS X 10.4.2. Yesterday, I upgraded to OS X 10.4.3, and the problem seems to have been resolved. It's probably too early to make that call, but I've been running Azureus since the upgrade and it hasn't made my system unstable. If you're running a previous version of Tiger and BitTorrent clients make your system crash, know that you're not alone. I couldn't find any solution, I guessed that it was probably some system level issue, like a TCP/IP stack bug (because it caused all internal and external network traffic like web traffic and local user authentication to die), but I didn't know how to resolve it. I'll post here if Azureus crashes my system again. Hopefully, the next guy who searches Google for OS X crashing or becoming unstable, or "freezes," or "freezing" for that matter, might end up on here.
