Be careful now, Monkey

I figured you knew how to do that, but your comments threw me. Glad it worked out in your new thread.

Congrats Jay, that looks like fun times! To post a pic, all you have to do is right click, select copy image location, and plop that location into When done correctly, it looks like this: And with flickr, you can hit All Sizes and select which size you like best. Medium or Large usually work best, depending on the image.

Acoustic Sounds, Elusive Disc, etc. It is supposed to be easy to use and very accurate. You can put it on top of an LP and take stylus drag into account, which is a nice touch.

Yeah, I want to see them sometime because they have a fun feel to them.

KAB Speedstrobe Acoustech Digital Stylus Guage Getting serious about proper TT setup/functioning.

The Apples in Stereo -- Electronic Projects for Musicians

Freddie Hubbard -- Hub Cap

Are you going to whittle a girly Buddha for your listening room too?

Lukestar -- Lake Toba These guys clearly have the Norwegian falsetto rock scene cornered! Pretty interesting album on first listen, and not nearly as high or creepy as Antony and the Johnsons.

Phishheads, Phishheads, rolly polly Phishheads . . .

Ah is lookin' for teh evidences to satisfah Dr. Dusty!

I know Nate is already up for Head-Caser of the Year, and quite rightly in my book, but is it too early to place a vote for Post of the Year 2009? This nonsense about moderator conspiracies and Jude being the protector of RSA is utter bullshit. I didn't need to know any more about Asr's self-important cause for leaving Head-Fi but if it was for the reasons stated a couple pages above then it is even more ridiculous than I had thought. Get over yourself is right.

Reminds my that I wanted to kill my 9 month old puppy today. Fuck that thing can be annoying.

Shockingly retarded coincidence!

True, but 909 just asked a question about the same topic in 2009. If you are going to do 3 facepalms, you might want to read to the whole thing...:palm::palm:

David Bowie -- Hunky Dory

Happy birthday King Knuckles! Cheers!

I love Japanese curry! The hotter the better. I have some Audio Art cables you could borrow indefinitely if Nate comes up short. As for me, I woke up with a sore throat and spent the second day in a row working with my daughter on her high school applications. Basically done except for a little essay editing but damn this is ridiculous. Going to see Milk tonight with my wife while the kids see Bedtime Stories.

You bought it after all! Nice! Excellent work, Mr. Monkey. Tell us what you think compared to your other dac outings. Enjoy!

Tony- Tell your friend to just reterminate the L3000 balanced if he already has a balanced amp and if he doesn't the he should not bother to reterminate and acquire and balanced amp. David- Just reterminate them with a good quality connector so you can take full advantage of the HD2. I have had the L3000s on loan a could of times. First was stock and s/e and second was humanfly's/JP's recabled and balanced pair. I like the cans but long term do not love them, but in any event I agree with the majority here that recabling didn't make a big difference at all and that balancing had some apparent benefits in tightening up things a bit (bass especially iirc). Sound signature didn't really change, which is why I don't think the recable was as responsible for that slight improvement as the balancing. Nice that one of our cable making MOTs was willing to state his opinions honestly as he always seems to do. Good on ya' Zach.

But you've got some intelligent points to make on audio and music at the same time! Yay Head-Case!

Just finished a couple bowls of good luck black eyed peas with ham. Several dashes of Clancy's Fancy hot sauce to kick it up a notch. Managed a beer with the peas figuring that a little hair o' the dog was called for. New Year's tradition that works well with a hangover.

Happy New Birthday Year's Brian and Stas! Cheers
