or maybe its some kind of Grand Illusion? "But dont be fooled by the radio The tv or the magazines They show you photographs of how your life should be But they're just someone elses fantasy So if you think your life is complete confusion Because you never win the game Just remember that its a grand illusion And deep inside we're all the same. We're all the same..."

Ooh! Good idea.

Thats weird, I get the mapleshade catalog as well and I have no idea why. i don't think I've ever ordered from them.

I like looking at audio catalogs, like real tangible catalogs. So far I have received the Music Direct catalog (awesome), the Audio Advisor catalog (pretty good as well), and the Elusive Disc catalog (soooo crappy, just a black and white print out stapled together). Any other cool audio type catalogs you can recommend?

happy birthday! thanks for telling me about head-case.

Got a package from Israel today: Its hard to capture the beauty of the wood with my limited photography skills, but they really are gorgeous to look at. First impressions: yeeeeeouch! Man that is a loud upper midrange. \ Which is a shame because a) that is where a lot of my favorite vocals are, and obviously my preference for Grados shows I love a silky warm midrange, and because these cans get so much else right. Midbass (bass guitar) is wonderfully textured and natural sounding, drums have amazing snap & crack and are very lifelike. And actually the highest highs are sweet, not overly bright like the upper midrange/lower highs. The AT fitting system is very comfortable on my large head. I've done brief comparisons with the Melos and the Dynahi, initial impressions prefer the Melos, but I still want to do more listening. Can't say whether or not these are a keeper yet.

honestly I love the ksc-75 straight out of my iPod shuffle. the fit is great, and they stay put when I run. tough little buggers they are.

Its kind of hard for me to pick a favorite band anymore, but if I based this choice purely on the amount of music I own by a certain band, Depeche Mode would win. All the singles boxes, most of the albums on redbook, all of the albums on sacd plus the last two on preorder, a few of the full length albums on vinyl, and even more singles on vinyl. I just never seem to get tired of them.

i vote apache b/c it has teh cool naem its like an army airplane armyt hav waepons & blood fite

Received the expansion kit yesterday, installed it this afternoon. I also moved the rack into the adjoining room so that it would rest on a hard wood floor instead of a carpet. This was a good move, the rack is much more stable. This could also be due to the installation of the expansion kit. Installation was again pretty simple. I've read about other folks pulling their hair out trying to set these things up, but to me its very easy and calming, almost meditative. I see how it could be tedious for someone who hates putting things together, but come on, building things is fun. The metal Boltz look doesn't really jive with the rest of the stuff in my bedroom and office/listening room, which is all dark wood, but functionality and ease of use is high. And its definitely more attractive then my LP storage solution:

http://www.machinadynamica.com/machina41.htm Of all the bullshit audio tweaks, this takes the cake. Of course, what do you expect from the makers of Magic Pebbles? "The Clever Little Clock is a small, battery-powered travel alarm clock that has been extensively modified using a number of highly-specialized techniques. The Clever Little Clock does not plug into the wall and has no direct or indirect influence on the "audio signal" per se -- not on house wiring, audio components, cables, interconnects, power cords or acoustic waves in the room. Yet the Clock has a pronounced affect on the sound heard by listeners in the room. In addition, any video systems in the house will be improved - the picture will be clearer, with better contrast and color saturation." So they are basically not going to even try to use a bunch of fancy language to explain how the Clever Little Clock works. To me, it sounds like the Clever Little Clock might have a Clever Little Hit Of LSD inside that the end user eats. That is the only way to explain its supposed effects.

Something is going on with your post there, DigiPete. I just bought last night: Country Joe & The Fish - Together Price: $3.00 Holly, Buddy - 20 Golden Greats Price: $3.00 Little Feat - Down On The Farm Price: $3.00 Little Feat - Sailin' Shoes Price: $3.00 Little Feat - The Last Record Album Price: $3.00 McDonald, Country Joe - War War War Price: $3.00 Fixx, The - React Price: $3.00 Hunter, Robert - Jack O'Roses Price: $3.00 Revolting Cocks - Live! Price: $3.00 Return To Forever (Chick Corea) - Musicmagic Price: $3.00 Weather Report - Mr Gone Price: $3.00 Weather Report - Sportin' Life Price: $3.00 Weather Report - This Is This Price: $3.00 I never thought I would own so many Revolting Cocks' albums, but now I own three full lengths and the "Beers, Steers, & Queers" single, all vinyl. I remember searching for these albums on CD when I was in grade school and high school.

True! It is in the vowel sound, not necessarily the vowel itself.

thats right, because the "u" is a long "u", right? like "an" would be appropriate if saying "an uppercut", since the "u" there is a short "u" sound.

mmmhmmm

i know its an oldie, but I'd never seen it before. I know I've seen this cat face in other pictures though. classic stuff though, i love the internet so much. i want a wifi in my brain.

MSRP $3600? Wow, that is spendy!

I've done lots of A/Bing, since my source has two parallel outs this is easy. But I still have a hard time putting my finger on the exact differences. I guess this does say a lot in favor of the Dynahi if I have a hard time differentiating between it and the "ultimate synergistic" amp for the HP-2. Its still pretty much like I said before, the Melos is more evenly distributed across the whole audible spectrum, and there is a smoothness and a gentleness that is just fantastic. But hell, if the Melos went kaput today I probably would be just fine with the Dynahi. If the Melos really is insanely superior to the Dynahi, either I haven't gotten that yet, or my inexperienced ears are none the wiser. But still, give me a bit more time, I might get it.

I can't stop buying vinyl. Its the ultimate impulse purchase. Like I saw a sealed copy of Rollins Band "Weight", which is pressed on clear vinyl, $30. Well when the hell I'm I going to see that again?! Snag it! Even new production vinyl can go OOP so fast, I feel like I have to buy it.

lol, true. I'm never home when its on anyway, so really I shouldn't care. But when I was 4 years old it was my favorite show on TV. My mom used to tape it for me everyday and I'd watch it when I got home from preschool. Plinko was my favorite.

yes, I'm against rosie on the price is right as well. you think regis could do it?
