I enjoy the Hibiki, it was a nice surprise for not big expectations. I like the Yamazaki 12, too......just an easy sip......the Yamazaki 18 was a little sweeter as I remember, been a while; enjoyed that a lot for special drinking. I have seen the Hakushu, but not recently; I'll have to see if my local guy can get a bottle....any thoughts on the "Heavily Peated" Hakushu versus the regular 12?

Wow, RIP to a great great man.....

True, Dan. She doesn't call herself a "real" vegetarian, I'm sure there is a title for what she does (bacon included). Hope you fell better!

I used to own the Ref 3A Royal Masters as well, they did very well with some Wright 2A3 mono's I used to own. I'd also recommend looking at Silverlines. The newest version of the SR-17 is much higher than you're looking to spend, but the previous rev's can be had for that amount or less, if you can find them used.....

I work with a woman who is a bit geeky (she builds her own gaming PC's), and always thought she was a fairly strict vegetarian. No red meats at all, mostly fish and occasionally/rarely poultry. But she just admitted yesterday that she still eats bacon....not TOO often, but loves it. Also stated it as one of the major food groups. I like her more now. Me, today: Boston's Hunger Brunch this morning/afternoon, hanging a bit in town. Then tonight, Jonathan Edwards live. Not a bad day at all.

Shpongle!

Good luck, Jacob, hope you get some relief very soon!

Happy Birthday Adrian!

Happy Birthday!

It's amazing what adults do with/for children. Congrats on a major milestone Esme

Previewing the new album Moon by Snowbird. Simon Raymonde from the Cocteau Twins and Stephanie Dosen. She sounds a LOT like the ethereal whispery version of Elizabeth Fraser..... So far, not a bad album.....sounds a fair bit like Cocteau Twins, which is not a bad thing for me. EDIT: the more I listen, the sillier this gets. Everything is about fields, forests, foxes, owls, bears.....it's getting a little repetitive......

Very Happy Birthday!

OK, I guess I now know where the term "spreading like wildfire" comes from..... Gotta think the wind helped, too, but damn!

Was it this? http://comicsthatsaysomething.quora.com/A-Day-at-the-Park

What about a USB -> SPDIF converter? I think several work in Linux.....

^^^ Like her a lot Stephen....one of my favorite songs is her cover of I Saw The Light......

^^^ Will also check that out, thanks Ian. Me: Angel Olsen - Burn Your Fire For No Witness. Capturing my ears quite well. Tough to describe, maybe Grunge-Country-Folk

Happy Birthday! May it be filled with only enjoyable fluids!!

I liked the Wadia PowerDAC that I had, similar type of unit. This seems to take it a step further with the DSD input, plus line in & out....

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!!

MasNoNoNoNoNoNosetts USED to warn you in advance, but that was part of the cost savings. You have to do it yourself now. I know several people who have forgot..... EDIT: forgot the Head-Case auto-correct

Re: Kingsound: They certainly LOOK nicer. And they take 550V bias, so maybe Stax amp compatible?

Alien Eggs from a Cold-Weather Planet. The invasion has begun.....time to break out the giant robots.

Groovy!
