When did you get an Omega II? Or are you referring to Dave's? I thought you had 404's. Shit, now I'm going to have to break out my Stax setup...I coulda sworn I heard deep bass.

Check your math. 1.1447^3 is approx. 1.5, dorklatch. EDIT: You typed 1.447 into your calculator, didn't you? There's a 1 after the decimal point.

Could also be written as (1.1447M)^3

No thanks. As much as I like sharp foods, I'm probably allergic.

Alright, I went ahead and got the A-1D -- just received it today -- it's a little more rolled off than the Manley Stingray was in the top end, but I think the bass is better. Will know better (a) in the morning when I can listen at non-sleepytime volumes, and ( after significantly more burn-in. Offhand, I think this is a steal at US$206.74. And OMG, do I need to get an iPod? J&R sent me a catalog that is from front to back nothing but iPod accessories. Never have I seen a product so thoroughly accessorized.

Wait...whut? My Stax has bass. Hirsch's Stax has bass. Dave's Stax has bass. Stephen's...Stephen, do you have a Stax? I forget...I think not. You should be bitching and whining where your hearing went, Mr. I-stuck-bees-in-my-ears-as-a-kid.

Except you don't want an HP-2. They're expensive. It's a supply/demand thing -- people like you buy up the supply, even if the demand remains constant, the ratio changes for the worse.

Don't get carried away there, dude. Whining is one thing -- that's what everyone else is doing; obliquely referring to violence is entirely yet another -- that's what you're doing. Hirsch -- just like everyone else -- can sell his HF-1's anywhere, anyway, and at any price he wants to -- you don't have to buy them. Although in all likelihood, he'll probably just sell them to Juan or something. Thank god I don't want one. I remember when I wanted an HP-2 -- I remember there was one guy buying them on Audiogon, and selling them for a profit at Head-Fi -- I was so pissed. Then I got one, and stopped caring. Now I feel the same way about K1000's. Do you remember when Headroom was blowing them out?!?!? Argh. Just...argh. And tubes -- don't even get me started about tubes.

I like those, but they're more banners than logos.

That doesn't make sense. Shouldn't you be using coax? That way, the shiny red light is unimpeded for viewing pleasure.

Whichever one I'm currently listening too. (I'm still in "fanboy" phase, where individual tracks haven't started leaping out at me yet.)

That's one of them "rhetorical" questions, innit?

Because Tool are great, and should not be lowered by having their thread crapped upon. Being into dark ambient such as Lull and (some) Scorn, I really dig that last track.

Could you at least do my design up proper? Middle o' the previous page.

Which one, meat popsicle? Not sure to what you are referring.

Really? Dang...

No, and no. What would be the point? You start bitching and whining about bitching and whining and then someone else starts bitching and whining about your bitching and whining, and pretty soon there isn't any room for anything else in the universe and we collapse like a black hole. You wouldn't want that on your record, would you?

Contender for album of the year (the other being Katatonia's The Great Cold Distance)

Nope, still special, monkey-droppings-boy.

Is it possible? Team "source first" is wrong? Perhaps their downstream components are masking any differences?

What, you don't carry a live meter with you at all times?!?!? That's okay, neither do I.

You know, your name-calling and trash-talking don't bother me near as much as your fucking misspellings. It's delicacy, teabaggee.

Still rhymes with... ..."maggot".

It should definitely have "007" somewhere in there. And why not another leatherhead? That was one of their more successful models, IMHO.

We need to add that to the canon of icons. Here, go wank off to some pictures of that Saved by the Bell chick (NSFW).
