Yeah, I read that in the write-up (about it being "quad-mono"). sovk -- you shouldn't have felt attacked -- you over-reacted. They were questions, the criticisms were minor. I, for one, would appreciate it if you discussed this amp openly -- it seems, at least on paper, like a cool design. I, for example, know little about Rudistor amps.

What's the tube complement?

Artist: Halou Album: Wiser, or the soon to be released Wholeness & Separation File Under: indietronica Recommended For Fans Of: mellower Lush, poppier Seefeel, Curve, Lamb, et al Artist Website: pretty straightforward, also myspace Sample Listen: new album (see either of the above sites, they're pushing it pretty hard) Music Best For: late night headphone listening My Thoughts: her voice makes my toes curl -- in a good way. I love that "girly" kind of voice. Plus, they write the greatest alterna-pop songs. Note: they're doing a live show in Frisco on 4/1 -- if you're in the area, go, I will envy you.

Quoth the sovkiller, nevermo...mind. People need to develop thicker skins. Except me, mine's plenty thick.

"owesome"? A little too close to "woesome", methinks...

You should have gotten Blueroom Pods.

My a sausage?

WTF was that? Cheech and Chong? Zappa? John Waters? Off Broadway? Captain Beefheart? You when you were younger? Black Sabbath before they started worshipping satan?

For you direct-out fans: the new dCS P8i has (a) balanced outs; ( volume control; © balance control; and (d) voltage control (this is somehow different from volume control, I think). I read the new Stereophile review. I am expecting one of you direct-out knuckleheads to be trying this, soon. C'mon, take one for the team, it's only US$14K.

I asked this question over on H**d-Fi, but I don't know if you saw it -- what particular tube complement did you use to drive the K1000? (And, if you remember my miniscule tube collection) do I have something that can drive the K1000 adequately, do you think? I'll relist my Wheatfield tube collection later, for reference (am at work right now).

Very much like a "time out".

You mean, girlcase? Girlheadcase? Perhaps we should rename this place sausage-fest-fi.

Yeah, but on the other hand, www.audiocircle.com has all sorts of participation from manufacturers.

Artist: Madeleine Peyroux Album: Careless Love File Under: jazz, easy listening Recommended For Fans Of: Billie Holiday, Diana Krall Artist Website: madeleinepeyroux.com Sample Listen: artist website Music Best For: pretending you're a fan of Billie Holiday Reviews: google for it My Thoughts: I don't typically like this genre of music, but something about Madeleine Peyroux really struck something...I don't know, listen for yourself, judge for yourself

I like this suggestion a lot, and would like to take it one step further -- open shilling. For example, I'm a big Beyer fan, I could post in the open shilling/manufacturer forum about the new "Manufactory" site, and I could do so in there without worrying about being labelled as a street teamer, since I already am admitting to doing so, just by posting in the forum. Would that be okay? Or do we only want "official" members of the company posting in that forum?

Hey, I was just trying to remember that URL -- do you know how to use archive.org? I was trying to find my post about starting the "Sorry about your wallet" expression...I think the subject was something like "new greeting".

Don't think of it as being a "lightweight", think of it as being an "efficient drinker" -- you can accomplish more with less. At least, that's what I keep telling myself. (I can't drink like I used to anymore, neither.)

They should tour together and call it the goatsex tour.

Begs the question, what do you get when you cross and

You lost to a girl (laughs and points)

The word 'inundated' comes to mind. As does the word, 'inanity'. Actually, so does 'defenestration'. And so does 'tadpole', but I have no idea where that last one came from.

We are all individuals.

And what about poor little ol' schwa?

He should diversify his pretzel consumption.
