Actually, isn't, "Recommend a blu-ray player to me" the same as "recommend me a blu-ray player"? Subject-verb-indirectobject-directobject? Sort of like "give the ball to me" is the same as "give me the ball"?

That's from a music video? Which one?

Hell yeah, that's real. According to this page: And it's pretty much the way we -- the U.S. -- run things. (Where's the 'halo'/innocent smiley?) On an unrelated note, here's a dancing zombie milk container:

So...Black Gate, no more, alas. I noticed in the current issue of AudioXpress that ModWright now has their own line of caps (pdf download). And there were, of course, others -- ClarityCap, Jantzen, Mundorf, Authenticaps (askjanfirst.com?), Auricap (of course). Are any of these any good? Considering how highly ModWright is thought of in the modded source market, I was wondering if anyone has tried their caps yet? I've had vintage gear modified, and happened to have chosen black gates for it, and was quite happy with the results. Were I to do it again (and I probably will), what should be on my short list of caps to try? There is also the old stand-bys -- Panasonic, etc. I'm sure there are some good values in there, too. Anyone know which ones the good ones are?

Yeah, I think the Logitech is the default Trackball to go to, as the Microsoft is the default Ergonomic keyboard to go to. Is that basically the take to go to? The advice is actually for someone else who has arthritis at the palm part of their thumb.

AT&T offer free Wi-Fi? Nope...psyche!

Head-Fi link Also, does this help anyone?

Techno duo with femme vox, often associated with the down-tempo or trip-hop genres. They're very good, one of my favorites -- they do a lot of odd time signatures (even did an album entitled Fear of Fours).

No, I thought that meant it had the same pinout, and I didn't know about the triggering. I have a friend who has a cable, I'll try it on the iPhone. Or would that be a bad idea?

I still use a CRT at home. Yay me.

x2 what Dan said -- what are you using for amplification? Nearly every amp I've heard Stax on have had perfectly adequate, controlled, deep, extended bass -- not monsters, mind you, but there's certainly enough there there. And that's including the "measly" little SRM-310.

Damn, I thought that was about the group, Lamb.

Isn't it the exact same connector?

^3 -- start with a good foundation -- good source, good amp, good drivers (be they speakers and/or headphones). Everything else is fine-tuning. Unless you have really crappy power, but unless you live in a trailer and are powering things off of a generator, I doubt it.

Noise floor? I don't know.

Yeah, room treatments, definitely. Good power conditioning is maybe -- there have been some inadequate power conditioners that end up stifling the amp draw on heavy amp draw things like amps. But like DigiPete said, it will help if your original power is dirty. Only way to tell is to try it with and without (AFAIK).

High On Fire are fun, almost like a Black Sabbath tribute band doing original material. Cheese factor is kind of high, but you'll have to let me know if that carries over live.

I like the faux-4AD cover.

"Don't do it yourself" is not necessarily the same thing as "send it in". I don't know about Hirsch, but even I would suggest finding someone else if you don't know what you are doing. And by someone else, I mean someone other than Mikhail.

Gai Gra Tiem Phrik Tai from Pilin nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom...

Next time, find a male colleague and give them to him. Preferably the janitor or intern or someone else who has no idea what they're doing.

I know I would hate it if Kevin claimed "massive bullshit" if I was just trying to offer some helpful safety advice -- it had nothing to do with Singlepower, Hirsch was speaking about tube amps in general. I'd tell him to fuck off, too. He's a man, he can take it.

Two separate questions: What are the best choices for ergonomic keyboards? What are the best choices for trackballs?
