  1. Just preordered Portishead "3".
  2. welcome to headcase jeff!
  3. Artist: Drive-By Truckers (Mike Cooley) Album: The Dirty South Song: "Carl Perkins Cadillac" Life ain't nothing but a blending up of all the ups and downs Dammit Elvis, don't you know You made your Mama so proud Before you ever made that record, before there ever was a Sun Before you ever lost that Cadillac that Carl Perkins won Mr. Phillips found old Johnny Cash and he was high High before he ever took those pills and he's still too proud to die Mr. Phillips never said anything behind nobody's back Like "Dammit Elvis, don't he know, he ain't no Johnny Cash" If Mr. Phillips was the only man that Jerry Lee still would call sir Then I guess Mr. Phillips did all of Y'all about as good as you deserve He did just what he said he was gonna do and the money came in sacks New contracts and Carl Perkins' Cadillac
  4. I actually liked Toby a little bit more before his character was developed. He was perfect as the emotionless corporate human resources guy, and his complete apathy with regards to Michael's perpetually awful comments about him was hilarious.
  5. ooh, I want black and white ebony.
  6. nate, what kind of volume pot options do you have available for this amp when it goes into production?
  7. they better all be low serial numbers, so I can sell mine for a sweet profit.
  8. very pretty. i'm assuming that really they are just stock 325i's in a pretty box? either way I'll be keeping my eye on this auction.
  9. Nice. I believe I am the sole GS1000 proponent on HC. I think they are excellent but flawed, but having said that I believe almost every headphone is flawed in some way. They excel at very flat, neutral recordings, like soundboards, or old unfutzed with soundboard sourced tapes, or mic-on-stage soundboard patches. Despite the recessed midrange, vocals and guitar plucks come across as very lifelike and natural. I also love the way they present live drums. Classical typically sounds good with them. I particularly like them with solo piano. Some say they do well with jazz, but I still prefer the rs-1 with jazz since so many horns are to bright on the gs1k. What the gs1k does for me is compliment the rs-1 well.
  10. well he'd been thinking about it for a long time.

    DCD on DSD

    the sacds are coming in june: i'm not a 5.1 guy, but I bet some aggressive 5.1 mixes on these in a dark room would be SUPER cool.
  12. another great episode tonight. ryan was awesome tonight, I loved it. whatever the line was about the inevitability of nuclear war and return to the tribal warfare system was beautiful. and the thing with toby was hilarious as well.
  13. does kef use metal woofers? nice looking.
  14. that song is so punk rock. more punk then the MC5 anyway.
  15. I run straight from the phono to the 840a integrated. No pre, no line stage.
  16. I never really did a proper comparison, but I vastly prefer the sut + seduction combo simply because the bugle set on high gain let's off about a pound of hiss. And even then it doesn't quite have enough gain to really get the volume cranked up. Having said that, it is obvious that the bugle sounds great from top to bottom, with better bass then I would expect from battery power. Still it can't match the overall ease of the sut + seduction. What I'd like to do is get the bugle set back to normal gain and run it with the sut to do a direct phono stage only comparison.
  17. Artist: RA Album: 29 Song: 29 "Most of my friends are married and making them babies, To most of them I already died, And whatever it is about you I've always hated, Is something about myself I just couldn't hide."
  18. i love mah quads. i was just listening to the recent reissue of Joy Division's "Closer" on vinyl and loving the synergy in my system: Denon DL-103 > Technics SL1200MK2 > Cinemag SUT > Bottlehead Seduction > Cambridge Audio 840A > Nato Crisp Canare Speaker Cablez > Quad 22L it just sounds lovely. not super detailed or perfect by any means, but drums do crack perfectly, and strangely cymbals sound more realistic and live then in any other setup I've listened to. The DL-103 digs every last bit of bass out of that record, which I love. The Cinemag SUT polished off the DL-103's glary lower highs perfectly, so now vocals just soar from the midrange all the way into the highs with ease and beauty. I've always thought the Quad 22L and 840A go very well together; the 22Ls are certainly never wanting for power. Anyway, my summer project is to clean out the extra bedroom and move my whole setup in there so these speakers can have some room to breathe.
