Nice, but I'm not sure which are "high-design headphones."

Rolling Stone: Laurie Anderson's Farewell to Lou Reed http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/laurie-andersons-farewell-to-lou-reed-a-rolling-stone-exclusive-20131106

What do you know - the hoard has received some of their wishes on the Pulse. 1. We're removing the decorative "V" on the front panel. 2. We're changing from a glossy acrylic front panel to a metal one. 3. We're changing the volume control buttons to a large control knob. 4. We're adding informative LED's to the front panel to display sample rates, etc. 5. We're adding a gain switch so all ya'll with IEM's won't blow your ear drums out. We're thinking three positions: 3 W, 1 W, and 100 mW. 6. The headphone output and the line output will have discrete analog circuits. We hear you on the balanced output idea. Stay tuned as we figure that out.

Adding Frank.

I assume that's this building?

I don't really know enough to defend it, but it's just a ranking system for farmers, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Could still be a local farm (well, outside SF).

Mum's the word.

Is that CAB®? Do not question its quality!

I agree top five/desert island choices would be tough, so I'll narrow it down to the albums that have hit the hardest since my daughter was born nearly two years ago. Much of that are the lyrics and their delivery. Increasingly I want great words or none. Mostly instrumentals now, though not represented here. Harry Nilsson & Randy Newman - Nilsson Sings Newman Nilsson's voice coupled with Newman's writing creates a pessimistic optimism that rings the most true to how I view her future world. "Yet, a masterpiece is what this is, albeit a subtle, graceful masterpiece where the pleasure is in the grace notes, small gestures, and in-jokes." Frank Sintra - In The Wee Small Hours John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman - Self-titled Nat King Cole - Nat King Cole Story Greats of course. Beauty I hope never goes out of style and a vulnerable masculinity I have to learn from. Bon Iver - Self-titled Oddball choice of the list, but probably no other album is linked to the hazy, crazy, saturated days after her birth (even if I am twisting the lyrics completely to fit my experience). "Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me." "And at once I knew I was not magnificent." Tom Waits & Crystal Gayle - One From The Heart OST Horrible movie, wonderful forgotten soundtrack. More guarded, but exposed hearts trying not to fuck up. "The result is one of the most beautifully wrought soundtrack collaborations in history." Sinead O'Connor - I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got For a short time a few decades this ago this defined the rock ethic to me. Feels newly brave now. The Band - Self-titled A manufactured past to create something new which falls back in the past again. Approaches timelessness and I'll take it.
