Just what the NSA needs... Hear Conversations via Plants or Potato Chip Bags http://newsoffice.mit.edu/2014/algorithm-recovers-speech-from-vibrations-0804

It just debuted yesterday at Michael Moore’s Traverse City Film Festival, but I couldn't find any plans beyond that. Could get picked up during, but if it's like his great Up Series it will be on TV in Britain and in limited run in US theaters (and then DVD & PBS airing). A little info here: http://insidemovies.ew.com/2014/07/31/michael-apted-talks-bending-the-light/

And now...

Just drink enough to counter-spin.

Bending the Light. Posting here instead of the trailers thread.

Sorry to hear Wayne. A toast tonight to Aunt June.

Will do.

The Schiit is likely a good suggestion. Move has been delayed till the end of August, but at the time I'll play around with components. Most in my profile. We'll see on synergy and if headphone rig is integrated or separate. Been separate for awhile. Will let you know what works.

Oh, that's a fun mental exercise. Clear Channel v. Ticketmaster?

Glad early signs are encouraging. On the reliability front had to send mine back for replacement - had increasing burning smell (probably your worst fear). That said it was there at the beginning and I haven't seen other reports so may be a lemon. Replacement sent out yesterday so we'll see if the issue is localized. Surprisingly really kinda missed it at work while it was gone. I can only play PCM? WTH? The GO720 seems to be hitting last so I haven't seen many impressions. Some claim the GO1000 has a bit of a U-shaped signature compared to the GO450. Lots of deserving LH criticism and I'd still love to hear the Resonessence Labs Herus in comparison, but as Tyll said earlier (and Filburt referenced recently) - you can get pretty fine sound for a little cash (properly implemented and with complimentary gear) at the moment. Can't think of a better example to how different the audio world is than HeadFest 07.
