The science of opinion ...

thyname,

I am serious. My IE 80 are even balanced. How about your headphones?

I have been to Herford a number of times.

@glupson, yes to some degree.  I've been lucky enough to be in a test group for the Watchman unit.  You may have seen the ads...

During rehab for TAVR, it was noted that I 'defib' spontaneously.  Not enough to keel over, just...a 'pause'.

They really didn't want all the trouble and expense of repairing me to go to waste, literally.  So I've gotten to be a part of a study to explore an advanced defib/pacer.

Instead of the defib going off like a hammer in my chest, this one 'gently prods' my heart into motion again, with the pacer resetting the beat....so to speak.

I have noticed it 'doing it's thing' occasionally.  I'm quite happy about that, overall.

Oh, I can be a 'poster organism' for TAVR.  They didn't know Why my aortic valve went bad (<10% function) until they went in...

Mutant valve; only 2 flaps instead of the usual 3.  Apparently genetic, my older brother passed 2 years ago, likely from the same thing, undiagnosed.

My nephew's first born had heart issues.  Yep, bad valve.  Expresses in the males.  *sigh*

Now I be Borg.  "Resistance is...expected." *L*

Since you are being serious... I no longer use headphones at home. Just speakers. I was big into headphones until a couple of years Ago, and when my kids were little. Now they grew up, so no issue with cranking up speakers.

My last headphones pair I sold less than a year ago. Focal Utopia. You can see my transactions history here on Audiogon, Head-Fi, and US Audiomart (same user name). I had owned other headphones too, about a dozen, my second favorite was Senn HD800. Headphones amps too. Several. My favorite was Headamp GSX MKII. 

They nearly 'lost me' in the OR.

Just think: Y'all might have been spared my blunt wit and suspect personality.

On the other hand, y'all can continue to...well, deal with my existence.

I'm more or less pleased with the situation.

...and I do try to be tolerable...kinda....maybe...perhaps...etc., ad infinitum...;)

asvjerry,

Wow, that is a story.

In my question, I was really trying to separate arrhythmia and "heart attack" (infarct) from obstruction, etc.
