^^^^ Little teary laughter trickling gently to you sir.

I thought it was one of the best audiophile events I've been to .... other than some stellar CanJams in the past. My report here.

Thanks guys and gals, I love my new job. THE Show Newport? Shit, I was there, sorry I missed bumping into you.

I had Mobile me syched to my gmail contactes and it ate my entire contact list ... aarrrggghhh. Too fucking much automation without fine control.

Spent some time with Andy this AM before Jorge and I took the stage. I think I said, "It's good to see you" four times. I love it when I get to spend some time in meatspace with you guys.

Ouch.

I hate to say it, but I think he nails it every time.

Oh yeah. The whole "headphones that are hard to drive" thing needs to be understood much better. Hell, I need to understand it much better.

I think we just had an off day.

Sorry, New one on the left.

FWIW, I just got a new pair of LCD2s and they fucking rock. The highs are significantly clearer. No idea why exactly, but the pads are different.

Vacation! Should be a one way ticket.

Thanks, and this place is home ... I'll be around. I find the K1K "hard" sounding too without proper amping. In my experience, you need a really fast and clean amp of about 20-50Watts to drive them well, when you get it, the highs line up nicely, but not as extended as I'd really like. The bass never really gets there, but I did hook one up on an Aleph 1 with a sub in the room and it was pretty cool. @ Ari Do you find a loss of midrange with the K1K so far away from your ears?

The Qualias suck. Use an Aleph one or some good amp on the K1000, or get the LCD2. Or something... Posting fucking drunk from my MBP corporate bullshit machineee.

I sure will: Thanks Dan. Effective diplomacy at it's best.

Wow. Hope you're doing okay, Birgir.

Happy Birthday Brent!

Happy Bday, Raffy. Have a good year, mate.

Wohoooo! Tick off another one, Happy B-day!
