If the triple flange is sticking out of your ear, you aren't sticking it in far enough. You really really have to fuck yourself to get it in there. Personally I could never get the triple flange on my eties to get comfy, not because of its size, but because the material made my ears itch like mad, so I was always ripping them out to scratch.

Louis Armstrong - Complete Hot Fives and Hot Sevens (Disc 1) Chet Baker - The Best of Chet Baker Sings Greyboy Allstars - 2008-04-16 (audience recording) David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings The Flood Van Halen - 1 The Chet Baker is awesome. I was disparaging vocal jazz and a friend of mine recommended this one to me. I have heard him sing before of course, but had never really sat down and listened closely. Some killer tracks, I will definitely be returning to it. Took another shot at the Neko Case after I saw the kick ass tiles Ian did for his place. I enjoyed more this time, I see it as a potential grower. Put on a digital copy of Van Halen 1 I have because I was thinking about buying the new Kevin Grey mastered vinyl, which BTW is suspected to be the DCC mastering. OK, so the dude can certainly shred an electric guitar, and the solos almost make the album worth it, but the songwriting just doesn't do anything for me. Really I think the songwriting sucks. And I hate hearing the VH "You Really Got Me" on the radio, and I still hate it on the album. Sorry, but Van Halen is one of those bands thats for everybody else, not postjack.

Just discovered and quickly bought iPeng. WOW. Best iPhone app ever. Basically I've got a Duet for $10.

hm, the vinyl is cheap, i was going to pick it up. earlier: Derek Trucks Band - Already Free (vinyl)

my amp manufacturer is better then your amp manufacturer.

lilies.

happy birthday stephen!

glad you are back at home ken! scary stuff.

NSFW Sony Releases New Stupid Piece Of Shit That Doesn't Fucking Work | The Onion - America's Finest News Source NSFW

yes, that is easily one of the coolest things I've read on the internet.

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion OK, so I still don't know if this album lives up to the hype, but I do know that "My Girls" is the most astonishingly good single I've heard in years. Just begs to be listened to on speakers cranked up to high volumes.

Yeah, I think they were able to do the digital input because they were using all new DACs in their units. I once asked Matt Anker at sacdmods.com about the possibility of doing a digital input on the 3910, and he said it would just be way way to difficult for him to consider. So its probably pretty tough if not impossible to get an input into a unit's native DAC. For a while now I've wanted an SACD player with a digital input in the $1000-1500 price range.

wonderful, thank you kevin.

So it sounds like its not bright and horrible, and relatively inexpensive to boot. But deepak's post about DSD confuses me: does this player do DSD over the analog outs or ONLY over HDMI?

Also, remember you can get tons of Grateful Dead for free at bt.etree.org.

Jim, there is an awesome thread on the Steve Hoffman forums about the best of the Dick's Pick's series: My review of the Dick's Picks series - Grateful Dead - SH Forums MikeP is the resident deadhead over there, and knows his stuff. He also has another thread dedicated to the non-Dick's Picks live releases. I can't say if I 100% agree with him on all his ratings, since I haven't listened to the series as critically as he has, but I've used his thread as a buying guide and its steered me right so far. Personally, Disc Two of Dick's Picks 5 might be the GD disc I've listened to the most. ujb > estimated > jam > he's gone > the other one > drums.

happy birthday!

Ah, okey dokey. I see now. My switch doesn't totally prevent the earspeaker from swinging out, but I can see now how it's trying to. Thanks Dusty.

Woah, so I just moved the pads, pretty cool. I'm able to shift the pads opposite the "switch" no problem, does the other pad shift out as well? And whats the point of the switch? The pads I can move move regardless of what position the switch is in.

ha, no worries and no rush nato. i myself got a bit o' the old tonsillitis this week.

So I definitely get the whole K1000 thing. Originally when I listened to them at Canjam, I thought they were neat, but nothing jaw droppingly stupendous. Now I see that, like the O2, the K1000s are one of those delightful cans that just continue to unfold goodness unto you throughout extended listening sessions in one's own rig. Of course the proof is in the puddin', and the puddin' in this case is a delicious and true midrange. Tweedy's vocals on the Sundazed YHF vinyl are out of this world, same for EJ's vocals on the DCC Greatest Hits. Guitar crunch and solo-sheen are gorgeous. There are some negatives. First, the tight fit on the skull. I'm a bitch when it comes to headphone comfort. I still haven't shut up about the K701 and I sold them two and half years ago. Having said that, the tight fit is not awful, just not super comfortable, and at least its not an idiotic design like the K701. Still, nothing beats the comfort of a plain old adjustable headband Senn HD series. Second, I'm still experiencing some fatigue after an hour or so of listening. I'm experimenting with toe-in to see if I can reduce this. But the above complaints don't change the fact that the K1000 has a midrange that can make men do stupid, stupid things. Not that I'm going to buy a crazy dedicated amp for the K1000, but I see how someone could.

I have a date with Morrissey in Atlanta on the 7th.

eh?! i love live music above almost all things.
