Small(ish) bookshelf speakers
I thought the L's came in both active and inactive passive...?

Koss ESP/950 electrostat thread
Yeah, short answer: very. Has anyone heard the relatively newer reference series from Quad, specifically the 2905?

Actually, I bet well-amped ribbon-based line-source speakers would give That Sound. Like Apogees.

You know they reintroduced the CLX?

Recipe advice
Curry actually sounds like a good idea. I might try that.

Not sugar -- then I'll just get a sweet-and-sour sauce.

Recipe advice
So I made a second batch of Peter's Purple Chicken, only this time I used a white zinfandel (Frey), almost a rose'. I tried to make a rue with the leftover wine (+ flour + butter), but it turned out a little tart. What can I add to combat the tartness, any recommendations?

To be fair, when comparing notes with others to whom it wasn't their favorite -- we didn't always agree on the roller-coaster aspect.

Or, perhaps it was a double-positive (like a double-negative, only not so negative).

I wouldn't do that. Hirsch still uses his HEV70 once in a while.

No, she just means that one guy named 'Will' will. The real typo was the question mark at the end.

What did you do today?
Awesome, you're showing us a picture of your wife, in a "what did you do today?" thread. Ah, to be young and in love again...

To me -- the frequency response is fairly roller-coaster -like, especially in the midrange and treble.

Which beer to get?
You're not the only one -- I laugh every time I see that name, too. There's: Garden of Shadows Torture Garden Garden of Earthly Delights ...and, of course, Hoegaarten, which is German for Ho-Garden. And now, for my next translation, Die Frau ohne Schatten -- the woman who hasn't had her shots.

Which beer to get?
Rogue is my personal favorite. Dead Guy for a nice (relatively) light ale; Mocha Porter or Shakespeare Stout for something more...wintery...they have a little more heft. I think of them as the "chocolate" and "Tootsie Roll" of the beer world. PS This does not fall under the "Belgian exotic" category.

Aeolus magiDAC
Yes, please do, thanks. Even at $330/$480, it's not unreasonably priced, depending on its performance, so feel free to post long-term impressions as well.

β24: A discrete, cascoded, fully-differential power amplifier
It's more a function of gain than watts.

No, iron good (at least, that's what I thought). When it comes to something like that, though, design is more important than what it contains. Oh, and: hey now!

Pfff. /me not a Krell fan. If you're talking greater than 3 digits of watts, I'd go Musical Fidelity kW. Or less -- I'm perfectly happy with my A308CR (250 -> 8, 450 -> 4).

Monday Music Mayhem
I'm not much of a fan, myself, but there are several people here who'd be interested in the new... Watson Twins And I, myself, am interested in the new: Stereolab, Venetian Snares, Todesbonden, and Anthony Rother, as well as the IAMX, of course. There's also a new soundtrack from Danny Elfman (Wanted) and Lykke Li
