Oh well, those are just don't wanna be Spanishes, you know, like the Scotches, but they can drink our good wines too If you find it around, try this wine

It snowed (off and on) last night, in Chicago, to remind visitors why it is we don't live here

Many good things. Both the food and wines in Spain are amazing, and cheap.

Nuggets just beat the Spurs in epic clutch fashion, like they did the Warriors earlier in the season. Will be interesting to see if Spurs rest starters next game against the Warriors in preparation for the playoffs, since their No. 2 seed is a lock. Like Wayne said, we should be getting an exciting record no matter what

Meanwhile ... A Hearty Lamb Shank to fortify me against the upcoming Midwestern weather...

You should add a 5M resistor in series with the bias line. The Stax output has a 4M7 resistor on it so you need the extra 5M to meet the Sennheiser spec.

It's like winter never really showed up but now won't leave.

Yeah, it sucks royally (for the Bruins, that is; Wings should be ecstatic, they may keep their playoff streak alive). By not playing several of their top players, Rangers likely lose to the Red Wings Saturday. And unless it's in a shootout, the BEST the Bruins can hope for is second wildcard, where they face the Caps (and THAT depends on how Philly plays). Oy.....

Nope, highly nonlinear transducer which needs a less than honest amp. Simple as that. The inside story from Sennheiser is that the HE90 driver yield was truly terrible so they did have some very stringent testing.

^ For sure, and what drama with so much pride at stake for both teams! 73 wins, or first ever to go undefeated at home for an entire season! Can't be both at this point!

astroglide59: Ever looked at what Audio Note charges for repairs?

Hehehe, one of these opinionated morons come handy from time to time to remind us one of the many reasons why we love this place

This girl says fuck off.

OK, then. Eat shit and die, you cunt. We don't give a single fuck about you or your opinions. Is that good enough?

Can't you just throw in a side salad occasionally to make mom Steve happy?!

Gold standard at Holsteins.

OMG!

I don't think conformity is less on Head-Case than Head-Fi.

I didn't feel comfortable seeing Cavalli vilified for his response either and I'm a cunt - who's fucking off now.

Fair and reasonable, as ever. You'd be terrific mod on any board that didn't excommunicate people for having any presence anywhere else they might find offensive for any reason!

While many here believe the LL is a (insert profane description) the level of hatred/disgust/disrespect/etc. in this thread is a little surprising. Alex is nowhere near operating at Mikhail's level of consumer debauchery, in my opinion at least. Are there issues with the LL, Kevin and Birgir think so, Alex does not. All I know is that I'm not qualified to enter into that particular discussion other than to say that his products are not the first nor will they be the last to have exposed terminals on the IEC. I don't find that particular offense all that offensive. It's probably more risky to have exposed tubes on many of the amps that we use regularly given the potential for serious burns to occur. But anyway, back to my original point. HC generally operates with a pretty loose set of rules and we typically (myself included) jump all over the random asshat that comes around trying to start what they believe to be an interesting topic. But this thread, again in my opinion, should be different. Birgir is levelling serious criticism and when the manufacturer takes the time to put forth a response the reply that gets applauded is one where he's told to go fuck himself? If you don't like Alex I'm not going to argue. If you don't like his products I'm not going to argue. If you don't like his business model I'm not going to argue. But the direction this thread is going makes me more than just a little uncomfortable. What I would like to see is more technical evaluation and discussion of the one serious (potential) problem in the lack of output resistors.
