I do not hear any noise even when I turn the volume all the way up. I am impressed with the circuit design and the quality of transformer ( the transformer was custom-made in China for $20 dollar- the guy completed and shipped out the transformer including the resin filled process in 48 hours). He was either super efficient or he had no other order to do.

-1 to Bob Katz for the 009 hate.

There's no hair on his head to filter the memory robbing radiation waves., that the government beams at us from satellites. It's not his fault.

My humble apologies middle bro. I do have some memory problems, but I will never forget who my true brothers are. Love you man.

I bought the next size down from a queen, whatever that is. more than enough for one person imo. i bought some cheap $400 foam/gel thing from overstock and it's been the best bed I ever had. the first minute when i get on it at night is the best time of the day. so good.

I'd paella good money for a meal like that.

30 miles tonight put the three month total at 2007 miles. Looks like I have some work to do if I'm going to hit 3000 miles before the weather changes.

Hard to laugh with you if you're not laughing. If you laugh at yourself, then you're ALWAYS laughing WITH us. Just acknowledge your quirks, like we all have at some point. We're all goofy here, but we embrace it. Embrace your weird inner geek, don't fight it. It's our raison d'etre. So you like birth year watches, bfd. Enjoy it, keep buying them. But have fun with it, don't turn it into a big fight. And write a few sentences about it, not a dissertation. And you'll get shit on for it, because it's kinda weird. Big deal. We've already determined that we're all weird together. See above. You once made a joke about looking for a pre-dented iPad, after going on for so long about how upset you were about that damn dent. Funny. Self depracating. Everyone loved it. You have it in you, use the force, Luke! I mean Larry! I don't pretend to fully understand the ways of the force. But I think that's why you're still here. Ok, enough noise from me. Carry on.

My full impressions (and everybody else's) are over at that other place, but here are my short takeaways, in case anyone's interested. Mr Speakers Ether C is great. Different people rate it differently compared to HD800, Ether (open), etc., etc., but I didn't speak to anyone who wasn't impressed by it. Personally I could have spent all weekend listening on these (at the Schiit table with their multibit DACs and Mjolnir 2)Chord Hugo is a real winner. It's not just another semiportable DAC/amp (there's very different stuff going on inside), and the difference is really audible. There is a tabletop Hugo now too, but I didn't listen to it (there's a higher end one in the pipeline, named Dave). The Questyle DAP is really good. I'm not an AK owner, but it seemed like the people with lots of AK experience were really impressed by the Questyle's sound.Pendulumic Stance S1+ (I think that's the model name) Bluetooth full-sized closed headphone sounds great (obviously with the caveat it's Bluetooth). Has a nifty little twistable volume knob, and weighs noticeably less than my AKG K845BT. A winner if you want a Bluetooth headphone of this kind.Those super thin Linum cables for IEMs are for realz and they sounded great to me.ACS' new lineup (Evoke < Evolve < Encore) sounds fantastic, ships with Linum cables, comes universal or custom, and is really nicely priced. Evoke is supposedly really close to the old T2 (which I never heard), and it goes up from there.Audioquest Nighthawk sounded good to me but I didn't hear anything special distinguishing it from other higher-end dynamics. (Admittedly I was pretty listened-out by the time I got to these on Sunday afternoon.)None of you will be surprised to hear that the HE-1000 was at several stations at the show and that everyone I spoke to loved them best out of the GS-X (seriously, I heard that a lot). BHSE + 007 and 009 got the expected raves as well.I'm pretty sure that the museum-quality Orpheus I spent a little time on is the one that was stolen in Berlin yesterday. Fuck.
