I wonder if it's DRM...

Ranked A+ as a transport in Stereophile's last list, so yeah -- I'm kind of curious myself.

You'll get over it. Sound ueber alles.

OH-poe? I thought it was ƏH-poe, as in ƏH-poe-zit.

Is that the radioactive symbol on there? And if so, why? Is that how it's powered?

You ever heard the Temptations' 7 minute version?

Corduroy.

Of course, now you know it, too. As do I.

Sale price? Think I'll wait and see, though I am interested.

Too. Fucking. Hip.

Poor dolphin, doesn't look happy.

I love Misplaced Childhood -- probably top 10 from the 80's. I lived it during the late 90's (had a tape that had the studio version on one side and the live version on the other). Me: new Yello.

Someone else will have to correct you, I haven't actually seen the universals. Boomana? Duggeh? I know you two played around with the pair that Ms. Harvey sent you.

You realize you just ruled out about 90% of all watches. Unless I'm misunderstanding you. How about hardly anything at all? I like it when it's totally confusing. E.G.:

Wait, so now I'm confused: there's the CD, the digipak, the vinyl, the CD/Tee/autographed picture thingy, but then there's also the "mailorder edition" boxset? WTH? Oh, and I was going to order the vinyl from Nuclear Blast Europe, not Nuclear Blast USA, the latter of whose pages do indeed just tell you to go over to CMDistro.com. Oh well, I emailed Nuclear Blast Europe, hopefully they will be getting up soon and answering my questions soon.

No, not really. I'm shameless, so if something really good comes up, I'll share. But my memory isn't what it used to be and I am easily distracted. I'm sure there's some Jeff Lynne or some Ozzy that I misheard. Or Michael McDonald. Those guys really slurred a lot.

Yeah, the Bell & Ross Phantom and something from the Hublot Big Bang series are two reasons I play the lottery. And yes, I'd get black ones with colors, too:

Happy Birthday!

Hawt.

He could always compensate for less bass by putting a hump in. JH: Mah humps, mah humps...

See, I'm just the opposite -- I hardly ever listen to IEM's, that's why I'm nowhere near as tempted as these other people. That said, I could see how the multi-driver situation wouldn't translate well to full-size headphones, so it'd be a sound I wouldn't be able to get elsewhere, other than speakers. Hmmm... The thought is crossing my mind. Not "la-la-la" frustrated yet, but ... intrigued is too strong a word...interest is finally piqued?

I'm not sure I disagree with you, but considering there are demos of the universal format, I would hope that he would realize the market for that and make them available. I suspect he'll just wait until the rush for the customs is down a bit. That would be the smart (marketing-wise) thing to do, IMHO.

I don't think so. One can actually purchase the vinyl via Nuclear Blast. Also, I got a response from CMDistro -- they didn't put it up, because they haven't received their shipment yet, and with the "limited" status, they don't want to put it up until they actually have it in their hands. I went ahead and purchased the signed/CD/T/photo set. Will keep an eye on CMDistro, will put off the Nuclear Blast purchase for a little bit. Might email them to see if they can provide the same info (how many they have allocated/sold etc.). And no, I haven't, thanks. Didn't learn about this album until you posted about it.
