*sigh* So today I was in my engineering class cutting reinforcement for a job we where doing, and even though the obnoxious squeals of grinders is such a soothing sound I decided that it would would be best if I use my IEMs, CX-300-IIs in fact, and I was there working merrily listening to "Awesome Mix no. 1"... that is when it happened... as I finished sawing through the tubing, it gave way causing the saw to slam down a little bit, normally not a issue, but today... today was different. The impact caused one of the freshly cut tubes that I had yet to de-gnarl to roll off the table, and before I could do anything it began to tumble down to Earth, and that is when the razer sharp gnarling caught my IEM's cables slicing through them... and then silence, there was no more tunes, no, there was just the sound of the chop saw revving down, and the tinging of metal on the concrete floor.
I loved those IEMs, they were the first ones that I truly loved the sound signature, and that I found actually comfortable. So what was some of the old tech that you had that you makes you wish you could turn back time, and keep from perishing on you?
