Jesus, has it already been a year?

Hurray for going out and seeing them for yourself.

Definitely.

Dance of Death came out on DVD-A? What resolution? How're the dynamics, compressed?

I got to hear the HD800's today for the first time. They're okay. Really amp-dependent, though. KG's statement about them being inductive and therefore not tube-friendly made me paranoid, though, so I have no idea if what I heard was real or induced, but it sounded better out of a NAD pre's headphone jack than a tube amp. I'll bring over one or two of my solid state amps next time (Creek OBH-11SE & the Headroom Desktop something that I just got from Morphsci).

Actually, I came this close to ordering a NS/Stick a couple years back and learning how to play it. I am familiar enough with guitar to be able to play it by tapping, which, because I come from a keyboard background, is more intuitive then playing the classic two-handed style. Still haven't ruled it out, though. And yes, Tony Levin is amazing, but it's Greg Howard (whom I've seen live and conversed with) who really blows me away. Check out "Water on the Moon" -- a 60 minute unedited live solo Stick performance. He's the guy in the link you linked to, above. Oh, and obviously: Stanley Jordan, whom I've seen play live on multiple occasions. Thanks for the other recommendations as well, it's reassuring to hear a couple of familiar names (Michael Hedges -- whom I've had the pleasure of seeing live before his untimely passing -- and Michael Brooke); I'll check out the others.

Stick with what you have, they're fine.

That was great. I love music like that.

I can't wait for the robot-made Sennheisers with the trickle-down technology.

Anyone know what he's talking about with "Matt" and "digital out from iPod"?

Yeah, ditters -- there's a lot of that going around -- my housemate and two of my coworkers got it.

Actually, it's not that big. I think it's 11x13.

Depending on the frequencies, I could set up a standing wave.

Maybe it's the "can't have" that makes it so appealing.

I hate you all (for making me miss In-N-Out).

I'm moving this to the games forum.

If it's any consolation, I have the same problem (large master bedroom acts as bedroom, den, and living area). I use omnidirectional speakers more or less in the middle of the room.

Awesome.

That's such a great image. Mine sticks its butt in my face, I'm not sure which is worse.

No, if there's no price break, then I'll just worry about sourcing them myself when the time comes. I do appreciate the offer.

I actually liked that whole show, might have to go back and watch some older shows. Any idea who he is on head-fi? I did a quick google for "tekzilla", but didn't find anything. We should invite him here.

Yeah, it's a curve, not a point.

AT L3000 Leatherhead (listening to these right now) Grado PS-1 AT VTG Stax SR-202 AKG K501 Sony MDR-CD3000 AT A950LTD AKG K271 MkII -- I think, haven't listened to them in a while Beyerdynamic DT770 Grado HP-2(-3?) -- wow, I didn't realize my tastes had changed so much that these had sunk so far -- it's not that I dislike them, they're just so different from everything else I have, that I have to be in a very specific mood to want to listen to them, and that mood has hit me less and less of late. Sony MDR-F1 -- I really haven't listened to these in a while, don't even remember what they sound like Ditto everything else (other Beyers -- DT931, DT990, something else, the blue metal limited Audio Technica from years ago)
