You bought a restaurant?

Clean off your hard drive?/Reinstall the OS? The other thought is, don't run it off the external hard drive, use the internal -- load the files on the internal, then play (swapping out recently used and expected not to use again for a while files). I.E. Dew et, but do the above if you run into snags.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Damn, that's really good. Definitely my cup o' tea.

:rimshot:

I've gotten used to it to the point where I hardly even hear it anymore.

"Daddy, why does the man have a deer on his back?" "Because he probably is helping...well, no, it was probably a hit-and-...son, I have no fucking clue."

You say that like it's a bad thing.

That just means moar DACses.

Aren't all keg-pulls somewhat phallic/dildo-like? I'm pretty sure I've seen that in a video. Girls (And Beer) Gone Wild or something.

kinda NSFW moar here

Just finished sampling Valerie & Friends -- retro synthpop and electro goodness. Starting Morphine, At Your Service -- was listening to this earlier, need to go back to it. If you like sax and other reed instruments (baritone something on there, too), highly recommended. "...You're the bedtime story, The one that keeps the curtains closed, And I hope you're waiting for me, 'cause I can't make it on my own..."

Puscifer, "C" is for (Please Insert Sophomoric Genitalia Reference HERE) -- the first two tracks, in particular -- "Polar Bear" and "The Mission (M is for Milla Mix)" -- rawk. This video is kind of trippy: This one is not: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tU-hSpErIw

I've been enjoying Community quite a bit, ackshully.

It's probably just Ray trying to drum up interest in the connector. Or ALO.

Okay, only just finished watching it (didn't have a chance to, Saturday morning) -- jesus christ that was fucking amazing. I love the dialog -- the wearing black mini-speech, "splash of color", "who doesn't love a pun", the whole "you're never alone with a schizophrenic" slant (which would more correctly be stated, "you're never alone with a multiple personality"). And of course the story was great. And .

8*44.1 == 352.8 352.8/192 == 1.8375 Whereas 192/44.1 == 4.3537... Easier math? It also might be easier math because 352.8 might be more natural choice for the intermediate value, given the calculations that gets it from one to the other. It also might be a complete red herring. Like "17 bit internal value" is really a fancy way of saying "we can do 16 bit math and keep track of one bit of overflow as a result of the instruction set".

A fair question. Here's how I'd go about seeing if the answer makes sense: determine what is the benefit of going balanced, see if it applies in this case. The benefit of going balanced -- in general -- is noise rejection. This is most useful in low level signals such as microphones and turntables. So having it post-amplification? Not so much. Small, non-zero, yes; worthwhile? Not for me. I'd want balanced all the way back from the source, as Headroom does it.

I would just like to mention that I finally got around to listening to that Bear in Heaven disk yesterday, and goddamn is it good. Lush/4ad/M83/Siouxsie/other stuff mixed together until it stops sticking to your fingers, then spread on toast.

I'm alright with "scary", "creepy", "deformed" and whatnot (or even "phallic"). To me, that just means they don't look like your average every day headphone stand, and gives it some individuality. See, for example, my avatar. My tastes definitely run that way. Heck, if it looks that good, I'll bring it in to the office and freak out my coworkers.

They take up too much space.

I'll take one, please!

What about a ribbon-like connector, where the four connections are next to each other?

Monkey's Santa pic reminded me of the movie, The Silent Partner. Which was a very influential movie on me. (And no, I don't rob banks.)
