See from Tyll's recent IF post Pete & Todd are at it again. On the other side of things, sadly the Peak & Butte are no longer listed on Apex.

Has great chapter titles like "Platonic Bed Sharing: A Great Idea (for People Who Hate Themselves)"

NSFW/Chainsaw fun

Episode four of the Serial podcast. Anyone else listening to the This American Life spinoff? Pretty good.

Season 2/series finale of Enlightened Saturday. Season 1 finale of The Knick Sunday. Withdraw Monday.

More information here. BTW, each album appears to be on its own microSD card, then wrapped in a jewel case, that when stacked on the included stand can make different shapes. Or rearrange the order to spell 'NOTE LUBE'.

Astell&Kern Create Special Hi-Res Edition for Blue Note 75th Anniversary – Legendary jazz label Blue Note Records has partnered with high-end audio manufacturer Astell&Kern to offer an exclusive limited edition hi-res box set for their 75th Anniversary. It features 75 of the label’s essential albums, newly remastered from analog tape for the first time to a hi-res MQS digital format of 192K/24-bit. Five Blue Note albums also make their hi-res debut with the release, including Art Blakey, Don Cherry, Andrew Hill, Bobby Hutcherson and Tina Brooks. Astell&Kern’s AK240 hi-res portable audio player is part of the collection, with a 100-page book filled with the original album art, a new book on Blue Note: Uncompromising Expression, and a special stand. Aficionados can now experience the classic recordings just as the musicians originally did. All 75 albums are on a micro SD card in a unique case. Only 1000 of the packages with the custom blue AK240 player will be available worldwide. Price: $6000.

Something tells me your rejections are premature.

Well HAP-S1. You decide the color. Still love this video... http://youtu.be/24U_mt7V62U

Who's buying a Puls? http://9to5mac.com/2014/10/15/will-i-am-debuts-puls-smartwatch-with-built-in-3g-connection-and-voice-controlled-interface/ "The exact price wasn’t given but the singer said that it will be cheaper than an off-contract iPhone."

Yep, it lacks DSD Remastering, but does have DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine). BTW, it sat in my Amazon cart for a bit and Amazon Warehouse "Used, Like New" (with packaging damaged) models fluctuated $790 and up (currently $912). There may be deals out there.

Man, in all the cringe inducing (and in some geos illegal) simplified messages I've heard proposed in the jobs I've had (with at least one foot in the marketing department), I don't believe I've heard anything so far into misinformation territory as Neil's consistent statements. And the rewards of the ends so little justify the means in comparison (though lack of importance is probably part of it). Still I can't believe the pass/support he's getting. If the sometimes strange Apple lawsuits that sprout up on each release starts here, will be interesting to see how Pono defends itself (especially as they spread internationally).

Hope you have a great day! Hope you see this thread.

Les, if you're just now venturing into SACD, why not route over to DSD instead? That HAP-Z1ES sure looks nice.

And somehow the NFL isn't the group hated.

There's also the Arcam CDS27, recently announced.
