nice deal on the zu, I hope to one day try one.

actually, looking at it, it's all kinds of scratched up and shit. tough lil bastard. so yeah, don't do what pj do if you want a pretty phone.

all of my geekier Internet savvy friends adore it, and the newer comics consistently make the digg front page. I've sat for hours at work sifting through their archives, and nary a chuckle escapes my lips. so I gave up on it.

my first gen iPod is nude, and it's been fine since I bought it in jan. I've even dropped it quite a few times. my only complaint is I would like the screen to stay cleaner, but a quick wipe with a damp paper towel always does the trick.

happy birthday!

Welcome home! Feel the compassionate wrath of this community as so many of us have, muhahahaha!!!

I enjoy FB because it helps me keep up with friends who have moved away from Mobile. I also have a few rock snob friends I talk music with. the living social: albums app is fun. as a general rule I never join "causes" because "awareness" is a bunch of bullshit next to volunteerism or a cash donation.

I love Trey Anastasio's guitar tones.

yeah i facebook instead.

As some of you may know, I am fascinated by older audio designs that have stood the test of time. I was reading about a new production Rogers LS3/5a in a recent Hi-Fi News, and this drove me to the internet to do more research. It definitely sounds like a speaker I am interested in hearing. So who here has heard an LS3/5a in any of its versions? Impressions?

happy birthday billy!

mmmmmmmmm!! I believe a "dew eet" is appropriate here. I really enjoyed the He phone at Canjam, and it was more comfortable on my head then I ever managed to get the OIIMK1 to be. I would love to pick one up at the introductory price but there is always that pain in the ass of acquiring the 'stat amp to go with it. I wonder if we'll ever see the quality sub <$1000 stat amp.

*bet* it sounds sweet. damn iPhone keyboard.

cool. pricey, but good to know. adjustable loading too. but it sounds sweet.

do any of the modwright preamps come with a built in phono?

I'm not sure if the whole SET thing is right for me. It'd be sweet for jazz, but I also love to rock out with my speakers. Maybe I'll do tube preamp -> solid state power thing.

send paypal invoic pls. ty

I don't know how I missed y'all talking about me back in September, I must not have been keeping up with this thread. I would be happy to do a loaner on the Seduction, its just sitting cold right now while the Bugle gets all the love. I'm not planning on selling it because it is a great phono and I'd like to use it trying out MM carts in the future, but for the time being we could send it on a cross-country vacation. For the record I also TENTATIVELY plan to attend Canjam 09.

that b-stock max desktop and dps y'all have is CHEAP! very tempting.

I really enjoyed listening to the setup last night. I agree that the DA-500 doesn't do anything wrong to these ears, which adds up to a pleasurable listening experience across a range of genres. The midrange may not be the liquid cool goodness of the 840C, but I do not think it is sucked out. In fact, I couldn't help but be slightly reminded of the DL-103. Maybe this is just the subconscious part of my brain struggling to find a house sound between two items from the same company created half a century apart, but I swear I didn't consciously arrive at this comparison. I was listening to the vocals in the midrange, and started thinking "this sound reminds me of some other source I've heard," then the DL-103 came to mind. Neat. As for the Wheatfield, I hadn't really spent quality time with it since I eliminated my headphone rig a few months ago (it didn't get a lot of attention in the speaker room, because when I was in there I listened to, you guessed it, speakers), and I am definitely happy to come back to tubes. Tubes are so awesome. I often forget that it was a tube amp (PPX3 Slam) that first really made me a believer in hi-fi.

My new desktop headphone rig: Sounds great so far.

I'm a bigger fan of Malazan as well.

fucking AWESOME! really like a dream come true.
