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.

Don't know, but wouldn't be surprised if there isn't -- Rick Rubin produced them, and he's usually a hard rock/heavy metal producer.

No argument -- you thought it was funny. Still doesn't make it an olive branch. Insults can be funny, too. I thought the "I will make you my bitch" line was funny. Doesn't make what I posted an olive branch, and I won't try to spin it that way. Oh, and I hope that my completely OTT gloves-off approach is taken with the humor with which it's intended. Aaron posts pictures of Foghorn Leghorn, I post words, that's just one of the differences between us. And thanks to whomever for splitting this off. Good move.

Absolute Hush Catwoman -- When in Rome some paperback that was advertising itself as "<this book> is to cyberpunk what napster was to music". I had no idea what it meant, not sure I believed it, so I bought the book to find out for myself.

Wait, let me get this straight. This: was an olive branch? An olive branch? How stupid are you? There's "I thought I could get away with spinning it as an olive branch" stupid, then there's, "no, I really thought that could possibly be interpreted in a world other than one of my own imagining by someone other than myself -- a real person -- as to possibly be an olive branch" stupid, then there's "do-de-do, Hey, George, what's an olive branch?" stupid. I'm not saying you're stupid, I'm asking a question -- how stupid are you? I mean, you're basically saying that this should be reduced to a test of who's stronger. An olive branch? <-- smiley face, makes it all better What's your idea of a pick-up line, "I'll make you my bitch"? Does that work well for you? Ever? What's your idea of male bonding, "you should buy me a drink"? Political platform: "let's raise taxes to pay for everything"? Anti-drug slogan, "don't, you could like get caught and stuff"? That was an analogy.

I'm not going to lie and say that I don't remember that one of the few other instances was also you, but I wasn't picking on you -- don't play the martyr. If someone posted child porn, I'd call them out on it every single time, too. It's got nothing to do with the person, it's the act that I was calling you out on. If you feel picked on, then quit being a repeat offender. Mike -- only if you share. I love those spicy little peanuts.

And it's also pretty new -- you'd have to buy it new, and I think grawk was implying that it was a good deal new.

That sounds like a terrible idea -- you do know that heat is bad for computer's internals, right? Erm... I mean, your friend knows this, right?
