The Monkey

I have the Neko DAC on loan (thanks Wes!). Listening to it right now. I haven't had it for that long, but I can already say that this is a fine DAC and I can easily see this group liking it. I have it going head-to-head with the PS Audio right now, which should actually be kind of interesting because they are both using Wolfson chipses, although different models I think. I'll have more to say, but I like what I'm hearing so far out of it with the B22 and HF2s.

Naaman, don't screw around. If they feel like they don't fit, then they probably don't. Wear them for a while, check out an ear diagram online, identify the problem area and send 'em back. Not worth it to live with less than perfect fit.

At worst, you can smash people in the head with it.

Dan, I recommend a longer cable.

NYC still getting pounded. But my office, which closed at 3pm yesterday is open. I guess I'll go in. Maybe get drunk at lunch.

Happy birfday.

I want this in hi rez:

Untrudat! I'll be honest, I miss the bass of the 650. I think the 600's soundstage may be a bit better, but the 650 is to me...I dunno...just more fun.

I want a 650 or the Beyer T1.

Tried a case in small claims court in NJ. Won. First trial to verdict for me. Nate, the knee thing sounds not good. And it sounds like what happened to mine. I go to the Doc on Monday.

That sounds like a dangerous (read fun) combination.

I am bored with the HD600.

I'm not a fan either, reks. I have my eye on one that is 41mm, but that seems big.

Unfortunately, other bankers would start aggregating these shootings based on level of violence, location, risk to perp, etc. and would then package them as MBSes for sale on the Street. That's right: Murder Backed Securities, bitches!

Thanks guys. Long story short: a guy is coming to visit (mother-in-law's friend) who recently told my sister-in-law that digital music files can't sound as good as CDs and that Bose is by far the best audio equipment. I'm going to blast hi rez at him until it blows his damn fool head off. Don't start in on vinyl, now, either...

No school for you!

I find this watch face diameter chart helpful. Maybe you guys will, too. Maybe not. watchsizing_roun.pdf

Please point me to some of the best examples of hi rez classical recordings available for download.

I had a Vic-20.

I got mine for under 2200 new, which was very competitive. Not sure where his prices are now. Here's his website: http://www.liquidhifi.com. He's very responsive via email, and I believe has an account here. Also, not sure how much of a difference this makes to you, but I consider the PWD to be slightly warm sounding.

I have some new thoughts about the tablet and the general "philosophy" that Apple appears to be espousing. I bought a Verizon Droid device yesterday for various annoying reasons. The device is fine. Some very nice features, and relatively well thought out. And as a phone, it makes the ATT/iPhone combo seem like using a tin can with string (which I think actually may be the case). Anyway, despite these niceties of the Droid device, I find myself interacting with its "innards" more than I want to. Put another way, the workings of the phone's OS and its idiosyncrasies are readily apparent. And while there is a level of customization possible as a result, I just don't give a shit. Give me something that works out of the box--intuitively. Maybe it's my old age and general crankiness, but I want the device to work for me not vice-versa. There are two mobile devices that I truly love (in a device love kind of way): the good Blackberries and the iPhone. So once iPhone comes to Verizon, I will be switching to that for personal use. And once my Company gets its head on straight I will use a blackberry for bidness. And this is all a long-winded way of saying that the lack of the whiz-bang on the tablet no longer seems so awful to me. I need to keep it simple because I am stupid.

Happy birfday, Dan. Sorry for the belated.

Ha! The great irony of it all is that I jumped in that cab right in front of the Amex building. Those fuckers!
