Good with the Senns? How's the bass control?

That I can't imagine. It's just not going to be a proper bruin cafe anymore without the nicotine decor!

And I h8 it.

Is that an Ariel Atom? Those will rip your face right off, allegedly.

Some other reasonable options. Signal Cables. Zebra Cables. If easily available means need it now, then: Impact Acoustics.

Bought some used HD600s. Have been wanting to compare a pair with my 650s for a while.

The first series of Californication on DVD. Artistic merits yet to be determined, but hooray for boobies.

Sadly it's already gone. I just thought it looked interesting.

One of these just came and went on Agon for $845. Looks like a whole lot of happiness for the money. Anyone know anything about the builder? 807 Tube Stereo Amplifier

They drink La Chouffe in Heaven. When I lived in Amsterdam, on the other hand, we drank a great deal of De Koninck.

Where's Seymour coming up with the extra quoted 100W in output from the same modules, I wonder? I like D-Sonic, too. Some day I am going to ditch my backbreaker Rotel HT amp for one of their 3*525W + 2*250W builds.

Wow! Just ... wow!

They don't sell stuff like they used to.

^^^ I was just going to go on tiresomely about kristalweizen!

I do feel bad for them. Their US agent is as nice a guy as you could hope to meet and they were really, really good about a resistor issue with the MkIVse that affected me and a few other owners on HF. No fuss, took it straight back and sent me a new one -- and I was the third owner of that particular unit and said so. This looks like last-minute panic after a few early-production models went up in smoke. The designer was saying on their forum quite recently that it would be passive-cooled only.

Drifting off topic here, but when I lived in DC I used to patronize a sushi bar where the chef was a huge Burgundy hound. His theory was that they particularly complemented umami-rich dishes. My theory was that since he was selling some great stuff at very fair prices, I wasn't going to argue with him!

So rice wine > rice beer? I'm a sake ignoramus and no way in Hell am I touching Diet Anything.

Very diplomatic. I like it just fine in the right context -- very cold, at the sushi bar.

Sorry to keep derailing this thread, but I found a shot of those ICE Blocks' internals if anyone's interested.

See Smeggy above.
