![]() ![]() While firearm restrictionists will likely soon be clamoring for laws to rein in private production, there's only so much they can do: Communicating instructions for how to build a gun is constitutionally protected speech, after all. But if even moderately skilled people can create their own weapons at home-and increasingly they can-then passing laws to regulate commercial manufacture and sale starts to look awfully futile. That simple fact tends to be ignored by pundits and politicians in the debate over gun control. It's also perfectly legal in most American jurisdictions. For those who already have basic firearm know-how and competence with common tools, it's easy to make a gun that's just as safe as one bought from a store. There's no shame in buying a firearm from a reputable manufacturer and then taking a class to learn how to handle it safely, defensively, and intelligently.īut do-it-yourself has its appeal as well.

Contrasted against an LCD2 or HD650, they have very extended, clear and natural treble. These are smooth, warm, detailed headphones that sound very expansive despite being a closed-headphone. I may go as far to say it surpasses them in the aspect of natural, linear tonality. I highly recommend checking out his HD540 Reference (1985) video, but also the rest of his channel.Īnd when I say classic, I’m putting these up there alongside the LCD2 and HD650. With his videos, I would never have sought this out. I'd like to first thank who has helped shine some light on these old classics, in particular the HD540. Even more surprising, there is little fanfare here at and no dedicated appreciation thread. Well, I’ve only had the Sennheiser HD250 for a short while, but long-enough to realize what an incredible classic I have come across.
