You could theoretically/arguably/potentially/contingently/whateverly add a sub.

What's the last Woody Allen movie you've seen? Watching Scoop and Match Point was like watching a completely different director.

I love the fact that Jacob can go from Tolstoy to Buffy to Kafka without even a misstep.

Bad idea.

Don't isolate worth shit, but the Sony MDR-7506/-V6 otherwise fit the bill -- durable, portable-ish. Beyer DT770 isolate well, are durable as Tupperware, but aren't portable at all. Both have excellent bass. Good luck with meeting all three criteria.

OMG, that was hilarious. "Di' you 'et any tleats yet?" (muffled) "No, keep going."

Finally watched the first trailer -- this is going to rock. Tim Curry?!?!? From the makers of Hogfather? Was that any good?

I don't think he needs luck with a breadbox.

First of all, thanks. I'm cutting and pasting it, will read it later. So...where'd it come from, did you write all that? Oh, and hey, it looks like it got cut off at the end.

Kershaws are supposed to be nice. IIRC, the guy at the surplus store in Tysons Corner said they were well nigh indestructible.

You do know they're not made with genuine girl scouts, right?

Me three.

Time to renew my rapidshare account.

Oh, so you've read it already. Plenty for postjack to choose from, then.

I've read one thing by Poppy Z. Brite -- Exquisite Corpse. I promised myself never to read anything by her ever again.

Blatantly what? (Not arguing, I seriously don't know which of several directions you were going with this comment.)

Bawls jokes never get old.

Thanks for the info. I'll do some research. Is it VBR? Because I'm not sure that a full-frequency response is necessarily the only goal -- for example, I'm big on group delay distortion (or rather, big on keeping it to a minimum). One of the reasons I like SACD so much, I think. And sorry for being a pig about it. It's just that, when I hear that there's better out there, my first reaction is that I want to hear it for myself. Monsieur Samich -- yeah, wouldn't surprise me at all if some of the higher-end companies have superior pay encoders.

So it was mentioned that LAME sucks balls, what else is out there, that I should try? I'm not agreeing that LAME sucks balls, until I hear something audibly superior myself. That I can use.

Meh, I guess it's funny...if you're 12...

This is the reason on at least my Manley Stingray. It's a dual monoblock design.
