The stock Yamaha YH-100 sounds like it's under water to me. Once I put those drivers into a properly damped Donut housing the transformation was nothing short of amazing to my ears. Not only was there no veiled, layed back quality, but I'd actually characterize them as a bit forward sounding. Also crystal clear and extremely smooth sounding, so I have to think that better damping would change the character of your pair Monkey.

Happy Birthday Stretch!

SOB! You're right! All this time I thought the tune was actually penned by the Burtmeister. Now I have to dig into my collection to find out what caused such an embarrasing mistake.

Are Canadian opinions allowed? Just asking.

Ditto!

She ain't heavy, she's my Mother. (waits to see how many get that reference) Hint: Burt Bacharach

They were machined...machined by Dr. Wood. And thanks for the kind words, your free headphone stand will be shipped soon, as per our agreement.

From the comments of those I know and trust, I think the Buffalo32 will be just my cup of tea. We'll see soon enough. I really want it to be that good, because I'm actually feeling ready to settle into a rig for a while.

Simple, what are you doing say Friday? Oh and bring some soft music to the mud bog. Yeah, we don't want them to feel left out.

Or so your parents tell you...how the fuck would you really know?

Good lord! Tell me that my router is not involved in these plans! They don't even need to ask your address anymore, do they? "Wrap up another Duggeh special Charlie"

Shore? Hell that's the aquarium in his living room!

Maybe he dug the accent.

To even up the score I think we should give pigs gonorrhea. Who's with me?

I thought they broke up years ago? In fact I'm sure I watched an interview where David Gilmore talked at length about it.

Could there be a Skylab reference in there? I liked your review very much myself Monkey. The DAC that Naaman is building me (Buffalo32) also uses the Sabre chip, although it's the ES9018. I also like a kind of forward, punchy midbase, so it'll be interesting to see how the Buffalo32 sounds. Of coarse my K1000 is already tilted toward that type of presentation, and my β22 is pretty neutral, so we'll have to wait and see. I have no idea what my Pass F5 clone's signature is yet, so that may add to the mix. A very good read though my friend. And it makes me look forward to auditioning my new DAC all the more.

I was being a clown, by patting myself on the back. I built that jack with help from a really cool jig Marc designed. It is a fantastic jack though, and it really has a quality feel when inserting the Stax plug. If you knew Marc (luvdunhill) like many of us do, you'd expect nothing less. I hope it's safe to out your plug Marc, considering I already did so quite a while back.

Little Solo went to his new home Saturday. Literally 15 minutes after the handoff I received a pic of him lounged out on his new owners bed. No adjustment issues whatsoever.

No, not at all. That's funny shit! Oh come on! The funniest part was that Joey McIntyre did that. Didn't he become born again a while back?

Well obviously if you can catch them when the 'Hot Now' sign is lighted they'll be at their best, but I think they still hold up well at room temp.

Thanks. What a complete fuckin' dickhead! Even Beyonce seemed mortified.

Well that's a trend I can get on board with. Bring on the ham!

I guess I'm not up on my urban music, 'cause I'm completely lost.

Oh I like fish OK, especially my native Halibut and Salmon, but not in my pastries. I know you Vikings, and most of you like to sneak fish in everywhere.

Hah! Love the double decker design Al. And that Stax plug is fantastic!
