What about having them fix it somehow else, knowing what the problem is?

I did not know that. For some reason, I think of Scarling as much more mature and refined than Jack Off Jill -- have you heard of Hansyl and Gretyl? Maybe I'm confused. I really ought to pay more attention to what I'm listening to when I'm listening to it...

ESW10's > VTG sound quality wise ...straight outta the iPod. Form factor (closed, around the ear), VTG's are still > ESW10's. :\ Also, the VTG's don't suck unamped.

On second thought, you're right, I should just buy another burner, and either put this in my older box or sell it off...anyone want an IDE lightscribe DVD burner?

So I take it no-one disrecommends any of these, so I might as well go for whatever I feel like -- the cheapest, or one of the cheapest, since many of them go for $9-$12. Dan/Todd -- what was that product that made your IDE or SATA device into a USB device...except without the case? I'm thinking I should at least get the same manufacturer, since you're both happy with that product.

x2, pretty much

Or this one? (Half as much.)

Alright.

...but I want the lightscribe -- my computer already has a burner.

...was what I was thinking of getting.

I think it's the open wall on the one side that is screwing him up. Seems like a good place to use EQ, since it's probably changing the frequency response as well.

Tapping the Vein are awesome -- Heather is one of my favorite vocalists in the genre, if not ever. She can go from little-girl coo to full-on scary scream in the course of a single song, and sound good no matter what she does. Ian will tell you more about Scarling...he's a fan, IIRC. I also heartily recommend Kidneythieves. Mediggy. If you're going to get Trickster, go ahead and get the Reprocess, I think (though I still haven't gotten it myself, yet). I've had Hungry Lucy on my radar forever, looks like I need to check them out. Jack Off Jill are industrial -- so of course mediggy. I forget Rhea's Obsession and Darling Violetta, although I have albums by both of them. Kittie and My Ruin head more into metal and nu-metal territory, IMHO.

I have an IDE drive (DVD burner with lightscribe) that I'd like to use in my SATA-based machine (has no IDE whatsoever). Any adapters that you can recommend or disrecommend?

Start with the head -- it makes the victim all...fuzzy.

Anyone have any idea whether any of these are any good? For some reason, amazon is recommending it to me:

You may also want to contact PartsConnexion. And no, it doesn't completely defeat the purpose*, just the primary reason. *He is right in that if he can get a DAC that would be compatible with the output stage, it is a good one, and we all know how important that is.

Happy Birthday!!!1!

Please tell me you're kidding. EDIT: OMG

No, I meant I have a cat for getting my headphones furrier. J/K...

Bummer, dude.

Oh, that's awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHU_4TLkkl4

I think of her more as the girl next door with plain jane face who, when you finally get her home, has a smoking hot body and is a wildcat in bed.

$350 receiver and speakers $150-$200 Blu-ray player (depending on whether or not you're willing to settle for a refurb) I mean, jesus christ, the best speakers we can come up with are at least ...what is it? The AudioEngine ones? So you're not going to be able to get those and a blu-ray player and a pre-pro...or speakers and a receiver (which is how I'd do it) for $500. I mean, come on! I recommend separating out the player and receiver, instead of getting a one-box solution -- heat is not a transport's best friend.

I have a cat for that.
