It's more of a griller.

I've heard both, and you're getting at that level where it's not so much that one is better than the other, so much as which one aligns with your tastes more. They're not very different -- I mean, c'mon, they're both "best ever" type amps -- but there might be subtle differences between the two, especially with multiple electrostatics, that might make you prefer one or the other with a certain pair of earspeakers. You should wait until you get it and then decide. It's really good -- you should at least hear it.

I love Manley. I own a Stingray. That said, yes, the word, 'ridiculous' does come to mind. Dew et anyway.

No, the Beekeeper was really good. Her low point was the covers album.

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to use that in a well-ventilated area. I wouldn't mind someone with actual knowledge confirming this (rather than speaking from memory), but is it possible you're working with wood that is too green? Maybe you just need to let it dry out more?

Back in college, I tried that -- drank something like 32 beers. Still had the headache, should've taken the Tylenol/aspirin/whatever.

I would think the girl does.

...with the occasional Deus ex Machina.

There's only one girl in the blue jacket! :rimshot:

Classic.

Have you tried taking infrared pics of any gear yet?

Grrr...

You mean the dynamic playlist genius?

I don't think that's the same girl.

Not today but Saturday I went to Sakura Matsuri -- lots of people, and I got to listen to & meet my first J-Pop star, Ai Kawashima:

Well, I just flipped through every track on the Dark Knight soundtrack, and none of them start with the same thing that that one starts with, so it must be something else by Hans Zimmer and/or James Newton Howard -- Batman Begins, perhaps? I don't know. EDIT: Ah, indeed it is:

"Needs" was pretty intense.

Yeah, but at least "Captain Subjective" was new and funny -- made me smirk, anyway. So he gets a brownie point for that.

Man, if it would just vacuum up after the kitty, too, it'd be perfect.

Did you get a good deal on it?

Yeah, it was (directed at you). I'll give a listen to Dark Knight later today and make sure it's that, then. And: 3 hour version? More like 8+ hours (I tend to listen to all 3 together).

Ich Habe Genug - Bach, American Bach Soloists -- I have no idea if this is a good performance, I'm getting it for my mother, and since Magnatune offers it, I thought I'd give it a listen -- seems adequate, guess I will. I think she wants it played at her funeral or something.

Welcome to head-case!

No, it's something I listened to recently, so it's either LotR or Dark Knight.

I spent the day with relatives. I thought that was a myth?
