I'll second the Bryston as a good recommendation. Prat and detail, a combination I haven't heard too much together, on top of my classic foundation of overall tonal correctness (more or less).

Do you still have it? Pop it open and take a look. Post pics plz &c.

You should try listening to better music.

This I gotta hear (please) -- Fischer? Marantz (Marantz would make a great cat name -- they can almost pronounce it themselves)?

I wasn't getting that before (now I am).

You could put that head on a dollar bill, it looks so regal. I like that shot, too.

I didn't read it that way at all -- I just read it as them trying to advertise the player's features -- so what?

"...twain..."

I am myopic on the topic.

Jacob didn't believe in gred until it was proven that gred existed? Which is funny, because gred believes in Jacob.

Why doesn't he just gouge this one in the eye (and steer it to shore)? Yeah yeah, I know, where's the fun in that?

Is that going to receive the bonsai tree treatment? ("Cut away anything that doesn't look like a bonsai tree.")

You see what you want to see, you crazy cat lover, you.

Someone (Icarium?) was talking about a Gorilla tripod. Saw this, looks similar. Not sure if you must have the Gorilla, so I posted it here.

I'm going to get mine flesh-colored, and the graphics are going to be grey random curly lines. Camo FTW!

Well, no, that's what innoculations do -- they strengthen your immune systems, by forcing it to develop antibodies to that particular strain -- the innoculation isn't what protects you, your immune system is. But yeah, anti-bacterial soap is a joke.

Fucking imps. I don't think it was a mismatch, but rather that you had imps in your signal path at all.

Gred?

They don't look the same.

That's a great shot.

Well, no, not really. The regular flu shots that get made up every year are basically wild-ass guesses as to what the next big strain of flu that you're going to be exposed to is, and an innoculation against it. That one year (2008? 2007? I forget) where the flu shots didn't work? They guessed wrong, that's all. So flu shots are always special shots for specific variants, not ridiculous at all. The H1N1 is something that's already in circulation, so it's less of a guess than others, I don't see why anyone would have any problem with getting innoculated against it, any more than any other innoculation. (My sister doesn't want my aged and weak mom [thanks Brent] to get it, but not because it's ridiculous, but because she's against most all flu shots.) Feel free to double-check this with your nurse neighbor.

I was trying to channel The Sammich.

Again, this album fucking rocks my socks and boxers, even the missing ones. "Black Light Machine" is pure awesome. I love it when you can actually hear someone having fun making music.

I don't get it.
