Dusty Chalk

I don't have a center channel and it sounds just fine -- see "phantom center channel" (any pre/pro or receiver can do this -- you just "tell" it that you don't have a center channel, and it should automatically mix the center channel to the front left and right). PS Logitech 'Surrounder'

"crack"

Really? You're going to be just like those uneducated high school boys that I saw a special on so many years ago, you're just going to raise your hands and say, "not my problem"? Really? At least get a vasectomy, you irresponsible, self-centered, hedonistic coward.

The only thing Dusty like more than black is black mother of pearl (or, "off-black of the psychedelic variety", as I like to call it). Damn, that's $200 I didn't want to spend. I really need to get on the ball and sell some stuff.

I love the Mendelssohn.

I bet you're really Conan O'Brien. I mean, you do have a lot of time on your hands right now, don't you?

"Better to remain silent and be thought the fool, then to open one's mouth and remove all doubt", neh?

Maybe it's because there isn't anything positive to say about it. Do the triple-fi 10's really need amplification? (I.E. in the same way the JH13 doesn't really need additional amplification?) I would point him in that direction. I have been happy with both Etymotic ER-6i and Yuin ...I forget, PK-1, PK-2? ...without additional amplification.

On the contrary, even though I'm (relatively) silent (on the subject), I remain interested -- thanks for the update! No rush, school comes first and all that.

Diorama, The Art of Creating Confusing Spirits (Diary of Dreams side-project -- dark synthpop)

And I didn't even have a chance to say, "dew et".

Oh, I'll be doing it, that's a given, it's just a matter of when.

x4 -- lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself, etc.

So apparently there's a very good reason for the hostilities towards China: Google to China: Fuck you

Damn right! Some new entries from Invicta:

Yeah, that's why I used the word, "prefer" -- I try to be careful, sorry for any confusion.

China to Google: "We buy you."

I didn't mean it disparagingly. I'm just saying you probably wouldn't tolerate much distortion before you'd be ready to replace the set.

Remember this is the guy who can prefer an old raw digital master over an MFSL of the same. My point being he's pretty picky.

Absolutely top 10 of the decade for me. I listen to it once or twice a day when I get in one of those phases. I swear I want to learn it and cover it in its entirety (for those unfamiliar with it, it's largely arpeggiator driven, so it'd be like learning to play very repetitive, sequenced music).

That's hilarious. etc.

Win. +Awesome. =Winsome.

Did you guys read that in the review of ...uh...some beer...Rogue Santa Reserve?...Life & Limb?...that Hops everywhere are low this year? Any truth to that at all? Is that affecting you guys at all? Sorry, not finding the reference, but basically the guy started out by saying he was expecting something maltier because of the problem, but it ended up not being.

Level means they're comparable, not the same. (That's the way I read it, anyways. Grain of salt isn't always bad for one's blood pressure.)

I should also mention that we had to ramp down the volume on the SE quite a bit (40%, IIRC) in order to volume match it with the old one, and that should theoretically be happening in the digital domain (which, theoretically, is bad), and could account for the slight lack of smoothness. Didn't feel like taking the time to find two of the exact same amp or something. Me: had dinner with my sister -- that's always nice.
