hehe, i promise to be more social this year. it was fun hanging out in the airport though.

I put in for vacation Friday the 29th. just need the plane ticket now.

Yeah Ana Ng did totally rock out the one time I saw them at the Variety in ATL. They also did the entire "Fingertips" medley from Apollo 18, which was ridiculous hot. Glad to see TMBG gets some love around here, they are a special band. I bought a pristine LP of their first album from Geoman. "Don't Lets Start" is one of my favorites.

happy birthday jacob!

Glad you like it. If I had to choose a favorite jazz album, that would be it.

nice! I believe a few of us own the bc-13 now, didn't deepak just pick one up?

Metallica - Death Magnetic GH3 dochoots mix

Though its a band I don't listen to that much, maybe because I lost all of their CDs over the years, but TMBG has consistently been one of my all time favorite bands since I was 13 years old. Back then I only had ears for bands like Metallica, GNR, Slayer, and Pantera, but somehow TMBG squirmed their way in there. They spoke to my dorky metal heart in a way no band really has since, except maybe Phish. Anyone else a fan? I never see any TMBG in the WAYLT thread so I thought I'd ask.

Thomas Hobbes - Leviathan via stanza on the iphone.

Its my understanding that Tyll can perform marriages in several western states. As for me, I'll probably be in attendance. Won't know for certain until the vacation is booked with the boss and the plane tickets are bought. BTW I think having the event at the airport hotel is a very nice touch. Makes travel very simple.

well tell us the dates man! my iPhone hates HF.

home owners insurance costs are astounding. still, I love my home so much, and have never regretted it's purchase for an instant. my headphone rig is stable, HD800 not withstanding, and my TT is safe from major change in 09 aside from tweaks, but speaker amplification will change.

and since inner ear monitors are so much more sensitive then other ear transducers, the surface noise of vinyl might be problematic. Or maybe not! Its really up for you to decide. welcome to head-case!

perfectly illustrated.

its also the most overrated indie album of all time. seriously, I don't see what people love about that record. nice, thanks. there is one for $50 on ebay right now, not sure if its colored or not.

Man, I've forgotten how much I love Mechanical Animals. I'll have to track down a copy of this on vinyl. Am I out of line to ask how much it set you back? me today: Metallica - Black Album (original Elektra vinyl) Iggy Pop - Raw Power think this might be the shittiest SQ ever on an album?

Rainbow - Rising

nope, but I'll check it out ASAP. Metallica - Demo Magnetic

For the record mine is a stock CDP-2. I believe Rob is the one I emailed, at least it was Rob before the @ in the email address. I'm not stressing, I've got plenty of digital sources to keep me company until this gets remedied.

kirk, your post is the best news I've heard all week. thank you! I'm sure quad will make it right.

Hey- Bit of a bummer. Got my Quad CDP-2 on Monday, and a problem manifested itself late Wednesday evening. Large amounts of distortion started coming out of the left channel. I tried everything: switching interconnects, switching inputs on my amp, different digital cables (even though the distortion is also present when playing a CD), different power cords, and different power outlets. The distortion is present out of both the fixed and variable outputs of the CDP-2. Its not the speakers, because my 840C and TT perform fine. The weird thing is the distortion doesn't show up until the player has been playing for 3-4 hours. I'm starting to feel crazy, because before I goto sleep the player is spitting crackles and whatnot through the music in the left speaker, and then I turn it off and by morning everything is hunky dory. It sounds fine when there is no distortion*. The time thing makes me wonder if heat is somehow involved. * - Actually, listening very closely just now, there MIGHT be a channel imbalance, or that could be in my head. It does sound like the bass and overall volume favors the right channel. I've emailed Quad and the service department is on holiday until January 5th, so hopefully I hear back from them then. The player is still under warranty, and I have the blank warranty card, but I'm not sure how Quad is with warranty transfers and what not, so for the time being I'm playing it coy. Having said that, the guy I bought it from was the original owner. He's been a super nice dude, and I'm not holding him accountable for the faulty player, and he's willing to help me out with returning the unit if need be. But until then, anyone have any experience with a problem like this, or any ideas?

shure is good to start, but there is a guy on agon right now with $40 digital gauges. looks just like mine. digital gauges are nice, but the Shure is still accurate. see if your table has a free alignment tool at vinylengine.com. for a brush, any $20 carbon fiber brush will do. don't touch the bristles with your hands/skin. for record sleeves, go polylined.

My theme for Christmas this year was "A Very Dio Christmas". As such, I listened to the following albums all day over and over: Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell Black Sabbath - Mob Rules Black Sabbath - Live Evil Dio - Holy Diver Black Sabbath - Dehumanizer
