Hopstretch

I had a great time at the meet and it was really nice to be able to put faces to some of the familiar names. Thanks for being so welcoming and sorry I had to book it out of there to get the train into town. All I have to offer posterity are some low-rez listener's POV amp porn shots of my favorite stuff. The big dog. HF-1s sound so sweet out of this! O2 MkII, BHSE, Sony 5400ES. My first-ever taste of electrostatic headphones. Which I guess is a bit like losing your virginity to the entire Swedish bikini modeling team, working in shifts. O2 MkI, KGSS, G08. Spent a long time here! Lambda Sigs off what I think the guy said was a KG TT? Another big thumbs up. After a couple of hours, I was ready to immediately cancel my HD800 order and start trawling for a stat rig, but a wise Monkey talked me down from the ledge. Went and listened to some HP1000s and vintage RS-1s off Ari's setup until I felt better.

Simple Stretch say: Stats make my pee-pee tingle!

"Lines/Cans", graduated slope of the casing, Police Squad power light. That said, I so want one. :'(

^^^ Respect! Metallica -- Black Album (or whatever)

Some folks were not cut out to be parents.

Happy birthday old chap! (What are you smoking in there?)

Happy Birthday Dawg!

Hey Naaman, I don't know if you went for the EAP in the end, but if you didn't this should make you happy... http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadgethd.com/media/2009/03/logitech-ps3-adapter.jpg

Mmm, Swedish cunt tresses, aaaarrrggghh.

Boo. Double your jacks, double your pleasure.

What's that finish called Jim? Looks a bit like my Gran's 60s Formica countertop. Probably just the lighting.

I'll be there. I look like this.

Neko Case -- Middle Cyclone Like it a lot.

You could say that about absolutely anything under the sun and it'd still be true.

Cheap laser printer for wife's home office. $180 MSRP - $80 weekly special - $50 recycling bonus with presentation of long-dead inkjet I dug out of a moving box = $50. Fuckers will make it all back in toner, of course.

It involves Danish bacon and makes your music taste good, too.

You should smoke those instead.

He belongs downstairs.

Lloyd Cole -- Live at The Whelan, Dublin Recorded on a Macbook Pro and Apogee Ensemble, sounds like a million bucks. Ain't technology wonderful!

Pure Blu-ray player or universal player? The OPPO's competitors in the latter class are all around $2K, so it'll probably be a while.

The early adopter units will also lack RS-232 hardware, so that's one difference other than, potentially, price.

Amen! Pretty much rubs out every remaining small annoyance of mine on the software side. Now can we have more storage and a faster processor and n wireless and a pony in the next hardware rev please?

What are the terms? I wouldn't mind "trialing" a DAC2.
