M-Audio Transit + some active monitors, perhaps Quad 12L's if you don't mind needing a sub (which you should get later, otherwise it will put you over), or something else that has level control (not the Mackie HR824 -- they have input sensitivity controls, which is not the same thing, although with the Mackies, then you wouldn't need a sub).

You don't remember William Goody?

More believable?

Wormholes.

Wormholes.

Are you kidding?

That was foggin' brilliant.

:smirk:

I want this one:

That :wtfhorsey: smiley is just too fucked up to use. Ever. For anything.

If you end up being unhappy with those, try Pure Silver Sound PSS Sextets (link) or White Zombie something-or-other (link). I've used the single-ended of the former, and intend to try the latter (I need shielded -- Pure Silver Sound don't do shielded, unfortunately).

Serenity.

I've gotten so fed up with that soft fucking keyboard that I don't do anything on it that requires typing. And the lack of compatible bluetooth keyboards is a deal killer.

Actually, the A3.24 is already pretty good, I'm not sure I know anything at that price that's "several steps ahead".

Thanks for the FYI, I just put in a request for it.

Well, I'll let Hirsch ask for a rematch if he wants one, but I heard pretty much what I expected to hear, so I'm satisfied. If someone says that an amp has a hard time driving bass out of the R10's, I'd be hard pressed to argue.

Hirsch's functions very well.

Hirsch's is modded.

I love the sudden detail on that one -- it's like bad CGI in the movies.

I've always listened on headphones -- mostly because I have weird taste in music, and like it a lot, and my family don't always necessarily want to be exposed to everything I listen to. A lot -- they're surprisingly supportive of my having weird tastes, and sometimes do want to hear it, just not necessarily every time I want to. So I've been encouraged to listen on good headphones from the very beginning.

I agree with all of these. I invariably like the DCC versions and the MFSL versions better than anything that came before them, but I have heard subsequent versions better them -- I don't think I've ever heard a subsequent version after a DCC version -- ever -- but the few times I've heard subsequent versions after MFSL versions, they were oftentimes as good or better. Nowadays, I just can't bring myself to pay these collector prices. I prefer SACD's to practically all of them, anyway.
