Superior in what way?

Post the last thing you bought!
This doesn't sound good. Have you canceled your payment? If not, I think you probably should.

The Headcase Stax thread
I'd be very interested in watching the surgery. I can certainly guarantee that I will be properly anesthetized.

2-Channel System for Under $1k
Al, if he can get a nice deal on the B&Ws, then he should go for it. My Dad had some old school B&Ws for a long time in his rig and everyone was happy.

Watches
Thanks Dusty and grawk. I had no idea that the big ones are so big. I'm not a fan of the huge watches.

Anything interesting to do/see in Boston?
I like Boston. Too bad the bars close at 10 pm.

Cambridge Audio DacMagic -- $400, balanced.
I agree that the 1100 is a great DAC. I liked the Pico a lot better than the DacMagic, but I listened to the Pico under much better listening conditions. Hell, it's all a matter of taste; I just thought it sounded kind of hot and shouty. But it looks like we might share similar tastes, so I'll check out the DacMagic again if I see it at a meet.

I had no idea that Diesel watch was 7 feet in diameter. I can't stand gigantic watches. I don't like tiny ones either, though. What's a standard men's watch size?

Cambridge Audio DacMagic -- $400, balanced.
I've heard the DacMagic at a couple of meets. A less than optimal listening environment each time. Regardless, I thought it sucked.

2-Channel System for Under $1k
Al, is that budget for the speakers or the whole rig? I know I'm a broken records, but Harbeths man.

What did you do today?
Just got back from a dinner party in NJ. Great group of people with nice kids. Played Just Dance for the Wii. Brilliant.

The Headcase Stax thread
This. Also, I've found that it takes turning the pads and the outer rings so that the cables are oriented correctly.

Koss fraud. Wow, not good.
Then I'd also advise her to piss all over the floor.

Koss fraud. Wow, not good.
I'd advise her to do the same. She sounds guilty as hell, but the fucking government still needs to prove its case. But how on earth does her attorney let her show up dressed to the nines? Maybe that helps the mental illness defense in some way? If it does, I don't see it.

What did you do today?
Condolences KD. This morning, we headed over to the rink and skated around with former Rangers Nick Fotiu and Brian Mullen.

slow forum
Dusty, you need to label who's who.

Amarra "Mini" -- $395
I really want the EQ capability. But that gets a bit pricey. I guess I could start out with Mini and upgrade later.

Apple Tablet
The thing is I can see myself getting the damn iPad AND a MacBook. They've got me right where they want me. How will the iPad improve our audio lives?
