  1. I thought Sports Night was an amazing show, probably one of the best ever (after Whedon's trinity), but not because of Peter Krause, although he was good in it. It's wonderfully executed by a tight ensemble cast, the writing is superb beyond words ("How much do you love me now?" being one particularly memorable highlight), the dialog is deft and realistic, the chemistry is palpable...I could go on and on. I need to get that back from the person I lent it to and watch it again. I still haven't seen Six Feet Under.
  2. Forgive me father, for I have sinned. I have too much gears, and I don't sell shit, and I don't even listen to half the gears I have, and all I do is sit around and listen to music with some of my gears, and not even the best ones.
  3. Best Christmas Tree Ever. And Baconhitler looks familiar. And I have heard "niggardly" used in conversation. The old lady was in more danger because the person to whom she was referring was (a) within hearing distance, and ( actually knew what the word means. But it was true, so nothing happened.
  4. Is the '05 the latest one? If so, yes, I have tried it. Meh -- don't remember much sibilance, but have to admit to not listening to Ms. Minogue on it (was listening on a friend's system, he's not into Kylie).
  5. I saw her live. Her band started playing "Sweet Home Alabama", and she shrugged. They went back and forth a little bit, and it was established that she was too young to know that song (and apparently didn't listen to classic rock radio). Made me feel old. Still...love her.
  6. Nice! I was just reading the "last thing you bought" thread, so I was still in that mindset...didn't get it right away.
  7. Inasmuch as home theater means porn.
  8. Hot.
  9. No moar new gears approvals in '09!
  10. Yeah, I also tend to be not as sensitive to sibilance as a lot of others are. I find the Sony MDR-7506/-V6 bright, but once I get used to them (e.g. on travel, listening to them exclusively after not having listened to them in a while), I find them quite listenable.
  11. Boys and Girls and B
  12. Congratulations, and welcome to team analog. Alright, technically I'm not on team analog, I'm more on team almost on team analog. But I'm a fan of the sound, so there.
  13. PS I think I will get these -- I might put the HP-2 drivers in them if they sound crap. It'd be a relatively inexpensive, very nice enclosure.
  14. Koss Pro 4AAAAAAAAA (I lose count every time, I think there's three o' them Ayes)? I haven't tried them yet myself, but there are people (whose opinions I don't totally discount) who like them.
  15. No, he's saying that he knows this about Satriani's audience how? It's one of them "overgeneralizations". His appeal to Sherwood might be as a technician only (although I get the impression there's no appeal whatsoever). His appeal to me is as an artist, so it making it sound like his universal appeal doesn't apply to me is simply fallacious, I don't care how long he spent with his annoying guitar player/Satriani fan. That just makes him more predisposed towards being predisposed...erm...biased, that is.
  16. Well, keep an eye out for Tyll, even if he doesn't respond to your post.
  17. I don't know -- I don't see anyone complaining about how good the Audio Technica Japanese imports look. As long as they sound good.
  18. if you hear nice sound then you have right fit. And you must acquit.
  19. Not according to this page, it's not (pleather). Of course, "leather" could mean anything from lambskin to suede to waxed, so it's all moot until someone actually feels it. And then it's still moot, to everyone but that person.
  20. Why? What other headphones have titanium that are fatiguing?
  21. Yeah, it's mostly psychologickal.
  22. If $40 is a no-brainer, then Amazon's current deal of $45 (for 2.0, no less) on Gold Box is only a partial-brainer. Only there for a couple hours.

    Anyone? They're closed, so I am, of course, curious. Stereophile has a review of the MS 400 in the current issue. The red makes it moar bettar. But I, of course, am interested in the moar black PS 500.
