  1. Spring Mill Bread Co. oatmeal raisin cookie
  2. Also, doesn't the EL-P automatically take the laser light equivalent of VTA into effect, so you don't even need a remote-controlled VTA adjustment?
  3. Dude, it's MoFi -- of course it's mastered just as well. They're not Sony...they're not trying to advertise the SACD format, they're trying to advertise their mad skills at mastering.
  4. Why? I love SACD's. And you do realize they're hybrids, right? So there's nothing stopping you from listening to the redbook layer...
  5. I sure wish I knew what was going on in this thread. You moderators...
  6. Sounds painful. Is it a plug-in?
  7. Overlord is being ported to the PS3. Article Homepage
  8. Don't even joke about that, man. You'll get Juan all worked up...oh, I see you already did. I was going to ask what was in Greece...besides Grecians...erm...Greeks...You should see if Vangelis is doing a concert any time around then, and go if he is. He doesn't do concerts all that often, but when he does, it's an event. Me: Volume 18 of Blade of the Immortal, Seasons 3 & 4 of Dinosaurs, and the standard edition of Seventh Tree, which I will be returning/exchanging.
  9. I have found that (right-click)->"View Image" automatically resizes the image to fit within a single pane (this is Mozilla's doing).
  10. Goddamnit, there's a deluxe edition? I wonder if the import will be SACD again, like Supernature... (makes a mental note not to unseal the standard edition he just bought)
  11. This was only a couple days ago: Seems to be that you don't do it only out of fear. Here, do this: lurk; post something useful when you have something useful to post, but not to "maintain a presence"; lurk some more; be patient; don't whine; go back to lurking even yet still some more; quit being a spaz. And eventually (and I'm not talking on the order of days, I'm talking on the order of months, maybe years), maybe, we might begin to think about accepting you as you would be accepted.
  12. Meh, to a point, but only because they have no bass. A lot of them still benefit from room placement. I read somewhere that pseudo-line sources (Nearfield Acoustics' Pipedreams, upper-echelon Genesis, Infinity, etc.) are the least sensitive to placement; I don't think anything is in determinant of room size -- you need speakers that can go louder for larger rooms, period. I guess if you get speakers that can go louder to begin with -- like my Dynaudio Special 25's -- then they would work just as well in small rooms as large, but then you still have the room node issue, and there are some rooms (cubes, for example) that will always have nodes, no matter what speaker you have.
  13. Unless they're on retainer.
  14. Damn, nailed.
  15. Is that one of them there upside-down Wadia-style transports, or is the picture staged incorrectly?
  16. Alright, it's not black, but it's my second favorite color: blurple!
  17. Rhombic prism or rhomboid would be the two most likely choices.
  18. The gears that open and close on one of my Sony players are broken -- it could be something like that? In which case it's fixable. I just need to get around to it, in my case (this is the early CD/SACD player without the DVD functionality, so it's a keeper).
  19. First, that is the correct spelling of rhombus. Second, that makes no sense -- rhombus is a 2-dimensional geometric shape. Third, no, you're a rhombus.
  20. This being the entire set of search results when safesearch is on.
  21. I misread it as being a vintage NAD as well. Well, if you don't want the Wharfdales, then don't get the Wharfdales. I got a pair of Pioneer HPM-200's, and they're pretty much too big for anything other than an entire floor (read: basement) of most houses I've been in (read: non-mansions). I'm having a hard time bringing myself to selling them, because I really want them, and now I have them. Alas, it is not meant to be.
  22. Yeah, I've had it before. In college. It was called being drunk off my ass.
  23. I've only ever heard used pairs, so have no experience with L3000-specific burn-in.
