Particularly egregious singular effort -- "A Homer"?

Maple syrup? You sick bastard.

Morphine -- Cure For Pain

Sounds like you need an excuse to practice!

Oh yeah, like anyone uses those.

Indeed!

Morphine -- Good

Moshi USB/Firewire hub.

Only one way to test my theory. I assume you keep some gas in the basement, for medicinal purposes?

Totally did not see that coming.

Yes. Getting run over by one's own bandwagon could be a painful experience. No personal offense meant, by the way. I look forward to meeting you and hearing some of the Audio-gd gear at CanJam and am quite willing to believe it's an absolute steal for what they're charging. The fervor over on HF has reached quasi-religious levels, though, so it's probably about time for the first schism!

You'd have to immolate yourself in the process to receive truly universal acclaim.

Man, that thread has some rabid fanboy display goin' on. Every time I open it I get little flecks of spittle on the inside of my monitor screen. For a moment there, I thought the followers were going to turn on the original disciple for daring to suggest that improvements might be possible to the Ref 1 design. It's all reminiscent of the bit with the holy relics from Life Of Brian --"The gourd! The gourd!" "No, follow the sandal!"

Definitely rates a link in this thread. Tannoymania apparently knows no bounds! AudiogoN ForSale: Tannoy Westminster Royal I'll assume he had many of us at "Giant Stax Headphones".

Depeche Mode -- Violator

'Til Tuesday -- Everything's Different Now

He lives!

Computer audio may be relatively new territory, but it's certainly already proving fertile ground for the sprouting of the familiar old shoots of audiophile lunacy. I was just reading a thread over on Audio Asylum where some guy was proudly reviewing his new semi-custom $1,000+ USB cable which purports to spin silk into gold by omitting both the VBUS and ground lines.

Peter Gabriel -- Plays Live
