You mean, rimshot. I like more than . (When I'm looking for a smiley, I usually search for "smilies rimshot" and then whatever else I'm looking for, because that usually puts me in to forums that have silly emoticons.)

I'd get the Audio Aero Capitole that Jacob pointed to, only because he seemed so happy with his for the longest time. I suspect the only reason he got a preamp was to "scratch that upgradeitis itch".

Or maybe instead of wishing for a fascist regime, we could concentrate on arguing facts rather than ego. EDIT: I like you Kevin (and also I don't want this to turn into another pissing match), so I'm going to expand on that just a little bit -- I'm not disagreeing with you, or even with anything else in your post. Only the part I quoted. I really don't understand where this stance came from, that there's some sort of cover-up or conspiracy -- Mikhail's issues have been known over here for quite some time, if not the magnitude of the problem. If you look back, I don't recall anyone telling mjg or elephas that they were wrong in being upset with the machinations that they had to go through with Mikhail. Mostly it was commiseration. At least, if I recall correctly. Can't speak for the other place. Haven't been there in a while. I suspect the reason that it's been allowed to go on for so long as it has, and to the extent that it has, is because we had only seen glimpses of the tip of the iceberg. For no other reason than each individual couldn't believe that they were part of a larger whole problem. Because no one person other than Mikhail was privvy to all the information to put it together. I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your ability to say it. Of course, at the same time, I will be defending my own ability to say stuff, too, so it's not all altruism.

Really? I didn't see anyone's name on it...wait...(hears phone ringing in his pocket, pulls out 'the bird')...this is for you...

I hate your face.

No, "recommend" is a verb, "you" is the subject...are the subject...no, is the subject... ...ANYWAY, it's implied.

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.
