whoops, evening.

Of course it is an arbitrary and ultimately an unimportant question, but it is something I was thinking about today. When do you consider an amp "high end"? I seem to have a pretty firm grasp on what makes a source or a pair of cans high end, but the amplification thing always eludes me. I know when I see the insane Singlepowers like the SDS or Maestro, or a custom job like tkam's, I think that is high end. But what else is out there, really? And then this makes me think, does the law of diminishing returns kick in faster with an amp then a source? Past the $2000 mark, where is there really to go in ampland?

I was delighted to hear a bit on npr on the way home from work this morning: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=12037597 The reviewer does a great job of putting down the album while still praising its existence.

i wonder how much of that $10K went into the cosmetics on that unbelievably badass demonstrator transport. wow! totally worth it though.

What the fuck is this? Where the fuck can I get this?

I just got my Oracle cable last week. Been using it with my 650, its great. I got the furutech plug. it makes all my other girlie plugs afraid.

i've never been a big taco bell guy, but my friend in high school was. at the time he worked for coke, (the company, he wasn't a crack whore), and would always bitch that all they had was pepsi products at taco bell.

only at taco bell.

HAHA JBLoud called it soda. don't you crazy yankees know its called coke?

but are you a grateful dead fan? i think garcia does some of the best covers of dylan songs.

So yourmusic declined my credit card last week, and I had no idea why. Yesterday I got an email apologizing, saying it was their mistake, and as compensation take 20% any cart for the next four days.

C. Cot is a friend of mine, chillin in the back lounge drinking wine. From Steamboat to Johnny Jordaanplein across the chocolate sea. Two decker and a tall boy can, glitter in the night time, elfin man. The road is a pinstripe Watson fan as far as I can see. Fair is fair is, ferris wheel, chicken on the black top pushing steel. Dance all night with the back door man by the light of the yellow moon. Two tank tequila song, a little bit of Mary all night long. The big black bag and the red balloon and the sun always comes up much too soon!

consider yourself reported!! the powa has gone to the mods heads. soon i will compare you to nazis, beware!

You going to have any speakers in there? I'm a total nub with speakers but I heard speakers + hard wood = bad. Also hardwood plus turntable is bad. But if you are listening to digital on headphones this is moot. or i could be wrong and all of this is moot. just thought i'd spread some potential misinformation.

yall just can't get enough of those sweet flakes i be sprinklin on yalls shit, damn.

Got a few good ones from yourmusic today: T.I. - King ("i got a '66 impala soo fresh") Ministry - Houses Of The Mole (political jourgenson) Widespread Panic (w/ the Dirty Dozen Brass Band) - Night Of Joy (lost this one couple years back to the ravages of time) Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion - Classic Meets Cuba (this one should be cool!) Depeche Mode - Exciter (didn't own this on CD yet for some reason) also have Paul's Boutique back ordered. my collection needs some beat z boys.

It'll probably still be disappointing because, even though it is on vinyl and mastered better, it is still Modest Mouse. That is its true flaw.

Welcome to head-case!

pretty much you need to get some and send them to me and i'll find out for you. i need to look at them in person though.

really? I didn't even know they made external computer power supplies.

cool, what is that? looks like a badass gaming machine.
