An analog-to-digital converter?

Maybe everyone else was supposed to take it seriously, and Sam Tellig was meant to think it was a joke.

Accardo is good? I have several things by him on my wishlist (3x Piazzolla SACD) that I should probably raise to a higher level if so, or is it only the Vivaldi? Too bad that (Four Seasons) is not available on SACD.

I do. I think Asr and Hopstretch and Nate do, too, based on this page.

You know, I like to reward companies I like by partaking of their wares. So I will, definitely, at some point in the not-too-near future. Anyone who calls Tellig a luddite to his face -- tongue-in-cheek or not -- is okay in my book.

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.

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.

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.

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.

He has a kid; he has his priorities. (The implication that he can't bargain away his soul like you or I.)

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).

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".

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

The Great Organization/Re-organization And Zooey for breakfast. Nom nom nom nom nom.

I've left an entire case of approx. 20 CD's on the Metro. That's my biggest suck story.

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.

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.

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