^Why don't you get another RS-1? I know you loved that can. Either that or get the PS500. I would personally stay away from the HiFiman stuff but that is just me.

Good job Mike! I really should try one of the younger HPs - it's just that the 18 is so good...

I love the HP 18 and will probably buy another bottle every time I run out. Have you had Talisker 18 Stretch? It isn't really like the HP but it is fantastic - one of my favorites!

Thanks for the link, I should make an account. I probably should keep track of them before I forget. I'm interested in the Hakushu, I saw a bottle of the 12yr here and it was wondering about it. My first bottle of Japanese whiskey was Hibiki which I love. My second bottle was Yamazaki 12yr which was good but didn't blow me out of the water. I'm having the Glendronach 15 right now and it is very nice. I like the Aberlour A'bunadh more though. I haven't been a huge fan of Balvenie so far. I got a sampler pack of the 12/15/21. The 12 was fine, the 21 was better and the 15 I liked the most of the three but maybe not enough to buy a whole bottle. It isn't too hard to get samples of the Balvenie stuff and I would probably do that before buying a bottle.

I have some Hibiki and it is great, very different than anything else I have had. Would any of the mod be willing to switch this title to Scotch-Case?

Coconut oil in steel cut oats is pretty great.

You like them more than the the SR-307?

Missed Jacob's back problem - sorry, that sucks.

Yuck.

It depends what you call cold. I would call anything under 60 degrees cold and this weather miserable. We get snow or ice storms every once in a while (not every year) but they seem to be happening more often recently. The freezes in the winter we've been having and the drought we had a couple of years ago have made my banana trees very very unhappy! The good news is the ice storm has caused classes to be canceled today so I can stay home and do research.

Happy Birthday Adrian!

When I went to work today it was 60 degree and nice, now it is 35 degress and rainy. We're supposed to get freezing rain here tonight and possibly extending until noon tomorrow, WTF??? Hope we don't lose power.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

I guess we all expected that.

Happy Birthday Mike!!! Have a martini or two for me!

According to this, 320 kbps streaming is only for premium customers. https://support.spotify.com/us/learn-more/faq/#!/article/What-bitrate-does-Spotify-use-for-streaming You also have to be a premium member to use it with SB Touch. https://support.spotify.com/us/learn-more/faq/#!/article/Logitech

Seems that Spotify Premium is twice as much as Mog (the basic plan is $5 and allows you to stream on desktop plus logitech app,...). I don't like that.

Dammit, I have been really enjoying MOG. Anything else that streams 320kbps, works well with SB Touch, runs in a browser, has a large collection, and is reasonably priced?

Congrat on the G-Lite!

Starting The Wire over again - Season 1 Episode 1 - I love this show.

I sold the PS500's a while back so that isn't going to work. I have actually been using the 404LEs quite a bit recently (more than any other headphones at home) but I could give them up for a couple of weeks. I am still hesitant to let people borrow stuff from the house because of the bbs but mostly likely they are fine. For example, all of our clothing is still is giant ziplock bags (it was dried on hot and then put in the to keep the bbs away) and our bed is still isolated in the middle of the room with climbups under the legs. It's is probably about time to get back to normalcy (it has been at least 7 weeks since I have gotten a bite). The Torpedo amp has been in the office the entire time so it is much less of a risk (although not completely risk free). Thanks Nate! I do really like the amp so I might ask you if you could do this later in the year. For now (because of the very small risk of spreading bed bugs), I wouldn't want to ship it to you. The risk is pretty small but I would hate myself if you offered to help me out and I gave you bed bugs. Nate built it. I don't know if that helps at all.

I usually fry an egg on lowish but I use a cast iron pan and I use butter.

Would they work on the prototype? Oh wait, I don't think I should be messing with HV just yet.

Joel, When you get an dynamic headphone, let me know if you want to borrow the DIY Torpedo. It has been in my office so most likely bb free. It is a really fun amp and works with high and low impedance amp. The only downside is it has a hint of hum which I don't notice at all except when there is no music. According to Doug, this has been fixed in the newer version.

Heat it up until it just starts to smoke? Would 15-20 minutes of smoking oil be enough?
