I'm thinking someone has a serious John Waters fetish.

You know, I keep accidentally clicking on it myself.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. That sort of talk is par for the course on most metal forums.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell. They'll improve a system if you put it between two components that aren't well impedance-matched -- as long as the "additional component in the chain" problem doesn't kick in, but in anything else, they'll be ...well... an additional component in a chain, which can only take away from clarity.

$200 or so is probably fine. Did I just jump to the front of the line? I thought I was third or something. Gah.

I should probably get that pair for my mom. Let me know if the other deal(s) doesn't(/don't) work out.

Too. I haven't bought the purple ones yet. I'm going to finish paying for the PS-1's, first. And I wish my cat would quit puking on them. She puked on a suede pair the other day, that shit does not come out. I'm going to start calling her Keira Knightley (after her character in The Hole, whose name I forget...okay, just looked it up, it's "Frances 'Frankie' Almond Smith" -- I'm not calling my cat Frankie).

Blue Oyster Cult! Actually, I hate most candidates also (I wish Ron Paul had a chance). Doesn't mean I'm not going to vote for the lesser of two evils, but doesn't mean I can't call a spade a spade -- it'll be the lesser of two evils that I'll be voting for, nothing more.

New Balance 595's -- all black, some shiny some suede. There was exactly one pair left at Rack Room Shoes in the clearance section, and I was pretty surprised that they were in my size and fit. And some more buttons. I have some sorting to do. I need to get one of them containers that has lots of small compartments.

Actually, I am of the opinion that in the HD600's case, cable upgrade is practically required. It's that dramatic.

Bunch of buttons Yet another pair of shoes (only one pair, though, despite having been in at least 5 stores that sold shoes) some candy a couple sacd's Goldfrapp, Seventh Tree, special edition At CompUSA -- nuthin'. They had a bunch of laptops. but they weren't discounting them anything special, as far as I could tell. They did have quite a bit of memory, and a big display for US$10 that probably could have acted as Elephas' or spritzer's headphone rack, but I don't need that much, so I passed. Need to check two computers here to see what kind of memory they take, going back tomorrow.

No time like the present...(to get started)...

You know, (Walt) Disney tried cryo-treating his head, look where it got him.

Network traffic bloat. (I.E. crap on the line). I mean, if you really want to diagnose it, I'd see if Mac has some equivalent program to tracert (or ping) to see what kind of throughput you have to his computer, or vice versa.

Why does he have a Greek shirt on? He's too young to be in college, isn't he?

QF...OIDNK...JB* *Quoted For...Oh, I DoN't Know...Just Because

That would make the K1000 the bestest.

Yes, definitely.

I like barcode clock, too. more here

Any fans? I know I've introduced one or two people on Head-Fi to them, and one or two people in the DC area to them. THEY'RE TOURING!!!1!

Yeah, for a while now. Yeah, that one. I was up at the Borders that's right next to it on Sunday, and I saw that they still had the sign up, so I drove by slowly, and they had a big sign that said "Last 8 Days", so...Monday or Tuesday should be it. It already looked pretty devastated, so I don't have high hopes, but ... you never know. I'm going up tomorrow (just got permission to take the day off).

Yeah, I'm on the buy.com emailing list and the overstock.com emailing list and the audioadvisor.com emailing list (not that they offer hard drives). This is almost a whole 'nother thread, as to which external hard drive to get. eCost has good prices for externals (500gb and 1tb) up to about 1tb (seems to be the "sweet spot" -- after that, you start paying more for having that much storage in one box), so I don't feel the need to jump on that any time soon. Also going up to a closing CompUSA tomorrow, I'll see what they have left.
