Though I don't completely discount the idea of complimentary synergy, I too tend towards what I once read Jahn call "additive" synergy. My 840C > 840A > Quad 12L is a great example of this, with a super clean sound from top to bottom, and a cool but liquid midrange with good treble extension in all three components. Also, the way you organize your records looks kind of like the way I organize mine in the extra bedroom, which has become the "throw all your audio crap in here" room.

just preordered the watershed vinyl + CD. $30 shipped direct from relapse. not bad really. I love bands that include the CD with the vinyl.

one step baby, s'all you need! grats on the sweet OII deepak.

the cary is my dream source! tell me more! nice modwright 777es as well. i hate that dan doesn't mod them anymore.

good get deepak. I'd like a comparison between the Diament and MFSL Exodus if you could oblige. Me: Megadeth - Peace Sells, but Who's Buying (original Combat release) Megadeth - So Far, So Good, So What (original Combat release) Mogwai - Young Team (recent re-release, remastered with extra disc) Neil Young - Reactor

yay staxman!

chef salad from lennys sub shop. Very tasty!

Nice. I would say it takes between 100 & 250 posts before optimum performance is achieved.

I was an early adopter of Vanguard, and it was definitely not ready for prime time upon release. Has it gotten better/less buggy?

great topic, and I look forward to other responses, because my answer is I have no idea. I find I mostly don't rip my classical and just listen to the CD. \

Morbid Angel - "Altars of Madness" UK First Pressing Mastered by Nimbus Huzzah for non-brickwalled death metal!

gang starr is still the greatest IMO.

yup, the mac n chee is still delicious! as is the chop steak and liver and onions. its a great place to eat good cheap and fast. I don't know if I've ever been to sonn'ys.

Cool thread. Today I woke up at 9:30am, played video games, mowed the lawn (reminds me its that time of the year to bump an old thread). Then my girlfriend came over and we ate lunch at Ruby Tuesdays. Then I met my parents for dinner at Morrisons. Then more video games, then music.

me and my girlfriend are taking our vacations the week after July 4th, and we are thinking of heading up Atlanta way to see Boris play. Anyone ever seen Boris live? I can't imagine it would be anything but amazing, but I still wanted to ask. this would mean I'd see Tom Waits and Boris in the same week. sweetest week ever.

The HA-2 is long out of production. I bought it used in the for sale forums here.

I completely don't understand why buying one of my favorite albums makes you want to have sex with men. more for me: Southern Lord Resonance Package: * Om-"Live At Jerusalem" LP * Lair of the Minotaur-"War Metal Battle Master" LP * Pentemple-"0)) Presents...." CD * Ascend-"Ample Fire Within" CD * Invocation of Sacred Resonance/Southern Lord Label shirt 2008 -T shirt * Invocation of Sacred Resonance /Southern Lord label compilation 2008 Porcupine Tree "We Lost The Skyline" LP, black and marbled versions. The black is for listenin', the marble is for framin'.

woot, grats! I got hear these things again at Canjam and regretted selling them. Such superb cans.

I think I'm ready for that Nate, I'll send you a PM. I'm doing vinyl through this thing for the first time, and the result is just exhilarating. I'm glad I don't have work tomorrow because I want to listen for a while.

Arrived on Thursday, I got it on Friday: I've had a couple of days to listen to it, and it really is a superb HD650 amp. Reminds me of the first time I fell for the HD650 with the PPX3 Slam. Impossible to say which is better since I haven't owned the PPX3 for over a year. The bass is in total control and reaches lower then I recall it ever reaching (I have actually turned around a couple times to make sure my 22Ls weren't on). The amp makes the HD650 do all those lovely audiophile things, like create a nice space around guitar plucks and the like. Also does a damn fine job of recreating electric guitar crunch. This amp has certainly made rediscovering my HD650s a lot of fun. I can say with authority its a richer and more balanced sound then with the single ended Dynahi. Soon we'll see what the Balanced Beta22 has to say about the Wheatfield and HD650s. This is also the hottest running amp I've ever owned. I could scramble an egg on this bitch.

I need a KGSS, but I want a Blue Hawaii.

the flaming lips are just out of this world good. that clip of "yoshimi" on the second bonnaroo DVD is transcendental.

Baroness - Red Album. This one was recommended by an old friend of my girlfriend who we ran into at the Ministry concert. He instantly knew I was good for Melody (my girlfriend) because I had on a King Crimson shirt. So I'm thinking this one will be good. Ministry - Psalms 69 Ministry - Cover Up

even if it just works as a DAC, you got the most smoking deal on a DAC I've ever seen. Congrats!

Great looking combo tkam. I love the black. It'd be great to hear some impressions from you, maybe a comparison between speaker rig and OII rig listening experiences.
