The Monkey

^That's pretty cool. My building is designated as "green" and let's just say that we have a way to go. It's ironic, though, that mother nature rewards Iceland's green efforts by spewing lava and ash all over the place on occasion and causing evacuations. That's not really a nice thank you.

Does anyone know if there's a Stax dealer in or around NYC?

deepak, are you sure you can't get mk1 pads anymore? I think AC has them--expensive, though.

Where are you guys getting the mk2 pads? Audiocubes? Kuboten?

Is there still no easy way to rip high rez music files to your hard drive? I want to use the PWD with high rez files, but the online selection is grim.

A steady diet of Pavement does the body good.

lazertits appear to be a real problem.

Interested in your thoughts about the differences between/similarities to the PWD.

Went to the new Public Library that opened in one of the ground floor spaces of our building. Libraries FTW. Borrowed some books for the Little Monkey as well as a DVD. Got library (or "liberry" according to my son) cards for the whole family. I "borrrowed" a Talking Heads CD. Libraries have changed a bit since I was a kid. This is wonderful--at least until the homeless move in. http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/15/a-new-resident-in-battery-park-city-with-lots-of-books/

That means it's got something special in store for you...

Jebus. I don't think I have ever heard the 4070, but I am surprised to read that some like it more than the O2 mk1. I look forward to trying them at CJ. How isolating are they?

The rowdy Keith Jarrett concert story = Win.

Happy Birthday!

Have a great day counselor! Just remembered the time difference. No matter! We're celebrating here in NYC. It's a national event!

Yeah, exactly.

I guess I'm still a bit skeptical about USB implementations. For no particular reason other than I am.

Does it make sense that PS Audio claims that the USB input sounds best?

I hate bike riding.

n/m, figured it out. Miata.: palmtoface:

Wow. I am very fond of that car. What is it?

Awesome.

Very sad news.

1s and 0s.

Naaman, godspeed. I wish you didn't have to go, but we're behind you (seriously--way way behind you:)). And I look forward to celebrating your safe return. Let us know if there's anything we can send you while you're there (if you can receive stuff). Stay safe, and thank you.
