Only if they're happy tears.

Every time the brisket fairy sheds a tear someone wants to use it to boil a brisket. It's a self-fulfilling abomination. Sorry you had to see this brisket fairy!

Comfort food FTW!

Stretch, you'll be happy to know that there's something similar to this in the US. We call it an Egg McMuffin. I think it's more Scottish in origin, but close enough.

That looks delicious!

So sad and so avoidable. I hope that contractor does prison time!

Oh. In that case, it looks pretty good! Phylis Stine was my drag name.

Boudin noir? It looks more like boudin ancien. Please explain the bagel/crumpet? Is that road tar and parsley? Finally, did Colin cook those eggs? You're going to have some adjustments back to yank grub. "Nurse, get me 30 ccs of chicken fried steak stat! And a liter of Cheez Whiz!"

Am I weird if I think the best looking thing on that plate is the broccoli?

Resto-mod.

All of the Wolf ranges, as well as Viking and many other professional ranges, stick past the cabinet faces. Not sure the reasoning, but I'd imagine something to do with heat transfer? Maybe to reach an oven depth standard?

I can recall one time while listening to Chris Isaac, that I thought juices were coming out of the Stax 007 I was listening to. After further investigation, I became aware that the source of the juices was much lower.- 47 replies

Just a virtually unknown little thing they called "The Walkman". Oh, and something called a CD player.

Dusty, the point I'm trying to make is this: When you read an article about a speaker/amp/ DAC/what-have-you review, the reviewer usually mentions the system in which he is using said component. Most will state that they are using their "reference" speakers/amp/ DAC/what-have-you. They say "my" reference, not "the" reference. They say this because "reference" means the item you usually "refer" to over all others. Most reviewers have totally different reference items than others, thus no one component is considered reference by all. My reference headphones would be the AKG K1000. Not because they're the best headphone ever made, but because I completely know their signature. When using them I can therefore better understand the qualities of the component I'm auditioning. Yes, I've heard that a million times. There's post after post after post about it over there. I've listened to numerous Qualia, of each size. Did it make a difference...yeah, probably so. Did it make me like the Qualia any better when listening to the one that fit me best (Lg.) ... No.
-
If they sound better to you than the other headphones you've used, then they are indeed your "reference" headphones. This idea that we all hear the same, value the same sound signatures, or need to use the headphones others say are best is total bullshit! I thought the Qualia left a lot to be desired. If memory serves, you loved them. What's the problem?
