Critique my first FPE design job?
Spare time? Dude, someone made time to make that animated gif -- they were too frustrated living in a world in which that animated gif didn't exist.

JH Audio stuffs
They're no good for people who are averse to sticking things in their ears.

x2. You know, you don't need one of every DAC. Just one good one.

What are you listening to Part Two
Definitely. That Moonshake track, Joker John, is really awesome -- something special -- and I didn't even realize you had put a Hirsche Nicht Auf Sofa track on there -- I love H.N.A.S./Christoph Heemann/Mimir, although didn't realize H.N.A.S. was considered Krautrock. I presume you're familiar with the Legendary Pink Dots (who are heavily Krautrock-influenced)? I'm liking the rest of it, too.

What did you do today?
10:45 a.m. showing of (500) Days of Summer -- didn't have time to eat before the movie. Plus Zooey's character is fairly central to the movie. You'll understand when you see it.

Another One Bites The Dust: SDS-DOA
He has a kid; he has his priorities. (The implication that he can't bargain away his soul like you or I.)

New gear; first track played?
For a while there, it was Einsturzende Neubauten, "Sabrina" from Silence is Sexy, mostly because that first bass gank goes down pretty low, and I am familiar with it, and bass is pretty important to me. For mids and trebles, it's a track from Camille's Le Fil, and then it's usually Talk Talk's "The Rainbow" and "Desire", from Spirit of Eden for pretty much everything else (busy section, trumpet, black backgrounds, psychedelic section).

Bryston BDA-1 DAC
Looks like you can download it? I'd update now while you have a working drive, but then wait for it to die before replacing it again (since you recently replaced it).

Devin Townsend Project, Ki -- more variety and softer sections than previous albums, really nice modern production, this one will be on heavy rotation until the new Porc Tree comes out

I like how you list four headphones and make it sound like a small subset of everything you have. I think you should change your team's name to "minimal".

Post the last thing you bought!
6 of the purple-handled otherwise-clear storage containers (not huge, but big enough) pizza (wanders off to look up Thomas Dolby remasters)

WTF? Yahoo mail and threadless are using the same javascript method?

Anyone ever forget something on a plane?
I've left an entire case of approx. 20 CD's on the Metro. That's my biggest suck story.

Dodson DA-217 MK II D
When they said they thought the other two 1704's were under the daughterboard, I thought they meant right under the other 1704's. I'm probably wrong though, don't go disassembling anything on my say so.

Dodson DA-217 MK II D
Oh, really? I thought they meant on the underside of the tiny little daughterboards that the 1704 was on.

I'll let HeadphoneAddict answer for himself, the answer should be specific to his amp.

The Headcase Stax thread
And the Bartok (Concerto for Orchestra), but yeah, just buy them all (I skipped the opera ones, myself, since I'm not into opera).

What did you do today?
Your room needs some color. Can't even tell where the floor stops and the wall starts. (I think my piano teacher of 10 years had that same piano.)
-
What are you listening to Part Two
Want. I was just thinking I need to put some Buzzcocks on my iPod. Probably my favorite pop-punk band ever.

It seperates channels on the return. You know, like speakers.
