Damn, really nice Steve. Congrats Al. I think Claires a keeper.

You semantic psychos. Tyll, that's pretty interesting. Not sure how often it's been discussed (HPA I missed your impressions), but rhythmdevils deserves credit for bringing it to my attention... and ruining my pleasure. Once it's clearly heard it's kinda hard to get it out of ones minds eyes ears.

I distrust anyone's ears when they say TOSlink sounds 'sucky.'

A 02? An O2? In the minority in that I haven't been much of a fan most of the rigs I've heard. You ever get over it? Right now it's really irritating. Like run back to a HD800 irritating. I may try an exotic salsa mod first.

I doubt it's the grills, but these are the newer. It's really pretty integrated in the sound, not a say rattle.

A few days ago I was PMing with someone over on the other site on the LCD2s, and he mentioned a 'resonance/reverb' issue with them that got in the way of his enjoyment. I immediately went into 'defective pair' mode suggesting tests, etc. as I never heard that. Friday I received a B22 and while testing the amp heard a strange 'reverb' on a couple violin pieces and since then all the time on different DACs and amps. It's slight, but seemingly layered on everything. It's my first LCD2 complaint, but it's actually been a little hard to enjoy them since. Hell, it's only been a couple days, but I've been listening to the HD580s more. Maybe it's psychosemantic audio illness, but anyone else hear this? He had tested his LCD2s against others and I have also (when comparing SE v. balanced) at a recent meet with little/no differences, so I really doubt these are lemons. Everyone (including myself) says these are slightly warm, organic sounding cans, but is that at least partially because of a exaggerated resonance-like issue often present? Or am I crazy?

Congrats. Congrats.

I do. Squeezepad is like Apples Remote app. The important functionality in a clean package. Can't say I've iPeng buggy, but it tries to do everything, pretty well, just a more cramped interface. Squeezepad seems iOS native. iPeng seems it comes from Squeezeboxes open source tradition. Both work and it's not a problem jumping from Squeezepad on the iPad to iPeng on the iPhone.

Speaking of Woot t-shirts I forgot to post the one I picked up recently ...

Grill photos please. This afternoon set up my new amp.

A Big Carl.

Or disable sleep and run CHKDSK every other hour.

My Twiiter review: Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma in SF last night. Joyous and fun, but at times Cirque du Soleil without the acrobats. A bit showy.

Beautiful.

For vinyl and iPhone/Android users, a cool test app... http://www.stereophile.com/content/lower-gloat

Nasty Honey Badger. EDIT: See it's already been posted, but what the hell... Honey Badger style.

Hydrogen Audio gets a little critical of Hoffman.

I've decided not to run my masterings through an HDCD converter..
