The Grado HF-2 is the first Grado that was good enough that I find myself not caring about the comfort issue. And that's saying a lot. I usually find Grado's terribly uncomfortable.

Destined to replace Drobo?

No worries, there are others of us whose tastes needed ...acquiring.

Ew.

Peter Gabariel, Up, SACD ...again. Goddamn, I love this album. NP: "Sky Blue"

There's something wrong with the lot of you whose first thoughts went in this direction. My dick ain't goin' anywhere near that.

She needs Darwin's law imposed on her.

Yeah, I figured it might be something like "a/c is easier to work with".

Exists, I forget the name of the company though. I distinctly remember a pic from a trade show where it looked like you had to wade through car batteries, they had that many. But I didn't think they had implemented it perfectly -- they used it to generate A/C, and then you know 90% of the internal power supplies converted it back to DC -- why didn't they just run it at DC to begin with? Strikes me as more efficient, though I could be wrong.

No, no birdshit.

No worse than iTunes.

Prog and prog/metal phase: Cynic, Demians, Maserati, looking forward to the new porcupine tree, been actually enjoying the new Dream Theater, etc.

I'm not sure I wanna finish watching that video.

I remember seeing a 24/192 USB recently...forget where, unfortunately...recent issue of Absolute Sound, which had a thing on USB DACs? Will look later.

I have a friend who had the same problem when he heard that Kronos Quartet and Tom Waits played together (they did, but "...at the same festival", not actually at the same time). And I don't think you want to lock anyone alone in a room with Bob Mould.

Alright, here's my Grado HF-2 impression: (ahem) Hey, look, I'm a Grado HF-2! End of impression.

I've heard good things about them. The only problem with them is that unlike the Martin Logans, they're not curved and unlike (I forget the brand) speakers, they don't have the concentric circles, so they beam like crazy.

Looks more like 5kHz to me, and from here:

That can't be good.

Once a month sherpas? Nice. Is this a time-share?

Depends what algorithm you use. If you use one that invents data, then you have, indeed, gained information. Fictitious information, agreed...as to whether or not it is superior or inferior to the input is subjective. Well then, don't. I explained one or two possible scenarios, but if you don't want to be convinced, then I'll stop trying to teach the pig to sing.

No, but feel free to start your own thread and ask for suggestions. Have you no vinyl whatsoever? I'd start with some classics: Pink Floyd, Animals Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon Mike Oldfield, Tubular Bells Personal favorites: Talk Talk, Spirit of Eden Talk Talk, The Colour of Spring

10 years? Jesus, Dusty WANT. I'm lucky if I last a couple of years with my duffles/briefcases/manbags/whatevers.
