Thought it was pretty clear he was just extrapolating Murphy's Law. The rest of you ==> -10 pts. reading comprehension. EDIT: Grawk beat me by seconds, and also attributed to Murphy's Law -- awesome.

Hey, let me know if you need anyone to watch your pets when you go out of town.

To answer my own question, I contacted them, and they responded with (paraphrasing), "currently, 16/44.1; planned, 24/96/studio masters". So I'll be keeping an eye on them.

Prokofiev, Queen of Spades/On Guard for Peace, Jarvi

48kHz -- yeezh. Even the M-Audio manages 24/96.

Is this reverse-psychology advertising?

So I was trying to look up a recent purchase -- Prokofiev "premiere" recording of Queen of Spades with On Guard for Piece -- and I wandered over to their website which led me to their online store, which appears to sell (in British Pounds Sterling) lossless audio. Anyone know what resolution theirs are at? I see "24/96" on the corresponding CD page of most recordings that interest me, but the CD's are obviously not 24/96, and I see nothing on the audio download page.

2 way design with two woofers? Never mind, I can look it up myself. I do find the tweeter placement pleasant. Oh, and: hawt!

I think that was a reference to this sentence -- the (as yet) fictitious new Sony:

Lara St. John, Vivaldi & Piazzolla's Four Seasonses on SACD

The Stax SR-001Mk2 is also completely open, forgot about that one. And sound quality is excellent. Downside is the fit necessary to get good sound is fiddly.

No, the thing I didn't like about Evanescence wasn't Amy Lee, it was the lack of melody in the music, so I don't think I'll be checking this out. Heck, I didn't even know they had broken up.

$150?!?!?

I don't know of any ear buds that won't isolate too much. So new answer: Sony MDR-7506/-V6 ... & a bigger helmet.

Sony MDR-7506/-V6 - Pretty good sound quality without an external amp, if a bit bright - Isolates ... somewhat - Fairly well made (not a tank like the Beyer DT770, but the DT770 isolates too much) - < US$100, so if it gets broken, won't be heartbroken - Folds

They can soundstage like speakers, you just need a binaural recording.

Wait, when did you get it working? Did I miss something, again? PS Burled headphones == the hotness. But you should stay away from woodying the K1000's. MHO.

"...still now right now..."? But yeah, I meant lack of sunspots.

Jesus, dude, it's Sunday. Give it a rest.

(translation: sympathies, as per everyone else)

You might want to make sure you have the right drivers for your graphics card rather than the generic one(s?).

I'm with Ian -- not a big fan. Maybe $90 more than it's worth.

Sunspots

Really nice place you have there, Matt!
