They are an awesome trio. Anthony's crazy facial expressions and her bouncing around like a teeny bopper are such a contrast while they both play the shit out of their instruments. Great stuff.

I hope you have time to monkey around today, and it's great that you got to hang out with some HC buds last night. Cheers!

Hope you're having a mighty fine day, Mikey! Cheers!

Have a great birthday dinner, Chris!

Congrats to Lance! Exciting stuff and some challenges to come. Sorry Dan, that sucks. You'll lick the Lyme.

I tend to think anything but TOTL B&W stuff is too beamy and doesn't create warmth and enveloping realism, but that goes back aways. In addition to passive ATCs, which I think you would like a lot, I think you should check out DeVore speakers. There are some on Audiogon right now that are below, just above and way above your price range, but there will be others out there as well. The aesthetic and cat-friendliness is right and the sound is great.

Nate is in the Happiest Place On Earth® so there is no way to defeat his happiness.

Welcome home Grahame! Good work Todd!

RIP Manitas

My favorite recording has been released by different names at different times, but it is from 1963 (a good year if I say so myself) and was recorded in a medieval chapel in Arles, France. The Connoisseurs Society recorded and released it. My disc is called Manitas de Plata and Friends but there is a longer version they released as a three-record set. There are flac files floating around the web. I also like the Carnegie Hall recording and some others I cannot recall by name.

Sorry, hypocritical post removed. I forgot what thread I was in.

Wow, it was good! No heavy breading and no overlooking of the shrimp made it pretty much perfect.

What about the Stereophile-backed meet idea? NYC?

I'm sure that none of the HC crew will be actively involved in putting on this event like the second through fifth national meets. That said, if people want an excuse to congregate then I might make my way down there and drop into the CanJam event briefly.

RIP Manitas de Plata, my all-time favorite flamenco guitarist. He was 93 and lived a very full life (he's not sure how many children he has spawned), so it is not terribly sad news, but worthy of noting and some listening today. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29937355

I'm not usually big on keeping threads on topic but how about you can the bad comedy routine? Every second post in the thread doesn't need the Wisdom of Wink tacked on.

I've never even considered the possibility of getting rabies in the manner you describe, Shelly. I don't think you have anything to worry about in that regard and I'm certain your doctor will say the same. I really hope you don't sweat it or worry any more about your mom getting it. You've got enough things on your plate already.

Where is the lying part found? I read your post last night and went back to see if he misstated himself but I don't see anything wrong with his post.

Great album^

RIP HP

Nice! Glad you have a little time for a California treat.
