No, you are not -- I've not heard one, neither.

Sorry, dude, I was just being blunt because I've been there -- and there was nothing I could do to make the sound right. If there's any way you can get out of the corner, do it.

Sucks to be you. Some of the CGI look pretty lame, so you're not missing that much -- basically, it's a collage of shots of people dealing with snakes, and snakes dealing with people (and one cat). The ending shot is of the drink cart loaded up with snakes flying down the aisle straight at the camera.

Yuck! Wide open on the left, and closed in on the right? You're beyond help. That said, I had a very similar situation, so...sympathies...condolences...etc... Just turn 'em off and listen to headphones.

Yeah: turn 'em upside down (I'm serious -- tweeters at ear level is a good rule of thumb). You may also want to try them sideways (either both tweeters in, or both tweeters out). In terms of toe-in, just play with it -- try aiming them at you, try aiming them straight ahead (past you), try aiming them crosswise (left speaker to right ear, etc.). Toe-in is a trick to get the treble right. Speakers tend to be brightest straight in front of the tweeter, and goes down as you move away from directly on-axis. There is an optimal balance somewhere within that gradient. That said, there are always exceptions, and I'm not familiar with your speakers.

I have no balanced amp. :sad:

en480c4, "Sugar" is one of my favourite Tori songs, too, but I don't remember that cover...dang, wish I had a clue where my copy of that tribute was... Mjg, feel free to start a prog/psych/space rock thread -- I'm into a lot of prog, psych and space rock, too.

Since traffic is low enough here, I usually use "Show Unread Posts Since Last Visit" to view posts. But sometimes, if someone responds quickly enough, it doesn't show up in the list. It'd be nice if the time of the last visit was somehow reset to the time of one's last post once your session times out. I know it could affect some people adversely (I.E. if someone does a lot of lurking, and very little posting, then that list would basically never time out), but I don't think it would be that inconvenient, would it? Or how about: what is the timeout period? Let's say it's 5 minutes. If the time of the last visit could be reset to the time of the last visit minus 5 minutes either when the last visit times out, or when the person checks back in, that would work, too. Would either of those things be possible?

Now playing: Gary Numan, Jagged -- highly recommended to fans of the genre, and of his more recent output (the chunky guitars-and-synths type sound that he's been up to for going on two decades now). I have that. One of the best tributes I've ever heard, IIRC. I remember really liking the whole album -- lot of really strong tracks, and no out-and-out duds. I'll definitely wander on over to CDBaby. Dusty love CDBaby. (And I suspect the feeling is mutual.) Dude. I am all about "resonance". There are some things I just can't explain, and then I just attribute it to resonance. For example, I really dislike most alt.country and slowcore. I just can't get into Low and Mojave 3, for some reason. They just don't resonate with me. However, I love The Devics -- they totally resonate with me. I love Kidneythieves, but it seems that what we have, here, is, "failure to resonate" (with you). You should also check out Dark Muse. I only have Sounds from Beyond the Silver Wheel, but I really like it. Link with mp3's. Looks like it's going to be pretty hard to track down ("permanently out of stock" at CDBaby), but at least listen to the MP3's.

So is at least the subtitling fixed on that one?

I have to say: I love Babelfish -- "Ghost in the Shell" gets translated back from the Kanji as "The Vision Right of Shellfish". (And, apparently, the original Kanji for what I thought was "Ghost in the Shell" was "Mobile Armoured Riot Police"...good thing I didn't get that tattoo, neh?)

Alright, so I recently found out that Manga released a dub of this in the UK -- does anyone know if Dreamworks has any plans to negotiate something similar for the US? Or should I just go ahead and get the UK version? Also, according to the Wiki page, if the DVD says "V4" on the spine, then the subtitling is corrected (I.E. it's no longer the closed captioned version). Hirsch, you should do this. Then, you'd at least get the non-intrusive subtitles, for free, no less.

Glad you liked it -- wow, that's two for two, now, and it wasn't even that hearty a recommendation. I'll have to check out St. Eve, never heard of them. Any particular album to start? Did any of y'all know that RevCo had a new album out? And if so, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!?!? Cocked and Loaded be its title. Zombie is also about to release Educated Horses.

No, he wanted to do it. He saw the title and was sold at that point; in fact, he had something to do with the title being changed back. (Or so the story goes -- do a google on "motherfuckin' snakes on the motherfuckin' plane" or something like that -- I'm too lazy right now.)

OMG, it's real: link with trailer.

Nice pretty pictures. Nice pretty dark pictures.

Dude, you are completely over-reacting. What a whiney, temper-tantrum-throwing little shit you are. I just lost a whole lot of respect for you. What are you, 12? If I was Rudi, I'd distance myself very far away from you. Hey, I just noticed...this place has a "report post to moderator" link...hahahahahahahahahahaha...why the L do we need that?

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?
