    Diablo 3

    The monk can't even compare to the archivist and his "shush" attack.
  3. Sherwood, did you get a chance to compare these 3 amps?
  4. Oh, jesus, another one goes to the dark side.
  5. How stable is power coming from a Variac anyway? I know in our lab we use a metered one.
  6. Smart move! When I first started in the Napster days, 8 or 9 years ago, there was no good way to organize stuff and I didn't pay too much attention to it. Big mistake! Took me hundreds of hours and a few weekends of nonstop work to get my library in pristine organizational condition. And it stays that way to this day. I find that with the proper organization, you can import your library into any program and it will be sorted correctly giving you flexibility and ease of use. More music is always a good thing. And there are times when a proper playlist is indispensable (like the gym). But I've found that playlist listening will never replace full listening sessions with a full album run through. I, for one, am a firm believer that albums were meant to be listened all the way through, especially the classics. An experience, if you will, instead of a distraction. Cliched, I know, but true nonetheless.
  7. Weird. Mine clamp extra hard. Pliers+washcloth?
  8. It would have been a good buy. I certainly enjoyed it tremendously.

  10. Emotiva has free shipping. So it's surprisingly close. 11 bucks vs. 8 or so.
  11. I just ordered a 1m toslink. They are also giving a 25% discount to all loyal members. PM me if you'd like the coupon code.
  12. Haha, yes. Unless that.
  13. This is the same reason I suggested against using a sub with K1Ks. When I tried it with HF-2s even at the lowest crossover, there seemed to be some directionality to the bass.
  14. happy bday Jim. Hope that you're enjoying the BA.
  15. Please don't. Just ask about it here. Most everyone here reads every thread and no one cares if you're on topic.

    Deals

    Skagen are well made watches. However, IMO, you have to have a certain look do pull them off (similar to nomos tangente).
  17. I really dislike ATI drivers (unless they've changed significantly) so I will not likely buy one anytime soon. This is surprising, though. I've thought ATI was dead in the water since nvidia 8.

    Californication

    First two eps of this season have been leaked and continues the excellent story and dialogue.
  19. My copy of the Limited Edition Process Recess 3 James Jean artbook just arrived.
  20. It's still useful for stability. Even the micro version. I find tomato to be a tad more reliable but v6 won't run it. If you could find a GL, I'd highly recommend that. The only reason I haven't upgraded to n is the fact that neither firmware is well developed for those routers yet.
  21. Like I said before, I had a tough time transitioning too. That's why I bought my sub
  22. i have a feeling it might be a quick edit to add in a 2nd deal.
  23. any way to increase the size of the page numbers on the mobile theme? maybe make it ---1---2---3---...
  24. I think Aura summed it all up pretty well so I won't go too much details. I was engrossed by the Cicadas as I knew I would be. Midrange presentation is just phenomenal and I much prefer it to my memory of Hornshoppe Horns and even Abbys. Both of those speakers, though, do a better job in the low end than the Cicadas. I wasn't entirely happy with how the Omega Deephemp worked with the Cicadas at first because the crossover was a bit difficult to adjust but once we figured that out, it was a decent fit. The upper bass from the deephemp was a bit more flabby than I was used to mostly because it is a downfiring sub on carpet instead of a hard surface. I think both these guys really benefited from this exchange quite a lot. Both of them got something that was better suited for them and I'm sure they'll happy for quite a while. I'm actually quite impressed by the performance of the Trafomatic. It was definitely a lot closer than I thought it would be. I think in the end, the Moth was punchier and more organic and the Trafomatic had much more texture. I want to say that the Trafo is actually a faster amp. And the fact that it drove the K1Ks was pretty impressive (albeit not well). We couldn't compare the Buffalo to the Parasound due to the clipping, sadly. I ran it from my SB Duet and USB immediately when I got home and it was fine so I don't know what was wrong exactly. As expected, I found the vintage RS-1 to be very aggressive compared to the HF-2. Similar to a newer RS-1 with tamed highs. All in all, it just comes down to personal preference between the 2 phones. I think for acoustic stuff, I prefer the sparkle in the high end of the RS-1s. But for anything with midbass, I tend to prefer HF-2s. But overall, it was more about the people than the gear. Aura and Sherwood are both great guys and I had a great time. Thanks to Aura and his hospitality. The food was great. And of course, thanks for Sherwood for making the 14 hour drive.
