The Monkey

^It's a good move. I look forward to the impressions.

Jebus, I forgot to tell you, 'stretch: the Dave Gahan (or his wife, technically) has an apartment(s) in my building! EDIT: and you aren't screwing around with the 80s vinyl tonight. I have the Yaz(oo) vinyl somewhere at my parents' place.

As stupid as we may be--and I am admittedly pretty stupid--theirs goes up to 11.

Fought a losing battle against stupidity.

Just in case anyone was wondering, despite appearances to the contrary on teh interwebz at JH Audio, "Deadwood" is very dark brown; whereas, "black" is, well, black. Mind you, I do not care what color these things come in.

oy vey.

TOSLINK

I like 'em.

Ugh. Never fun to be the target. Good luck with the transition.

The Little Monkey will be watching that in the morning.

Has anyone heard the Ferguson Hill stuff?

I'm so in that I'm...in.

Lordy. That looks good. Looking forward to hearing it.

I guess I have similar questions: 1) What about Toslink? I generally see negative comments about it but I don't really understand why. 2) On a given DAC, is the SQ from the various inputs (setting aside the cable quality for the moment). For example, does coax in generally have some advantageous implentation over toslink that will make it a preferred method of connecting?

I agree that those wood cups make everything a bit 650er, but the 3 blobs effect is something I always noticed with the 650, even when I had a stock pair.

"Biko" - Peter Gabriel

They arrived today. Listening now. Nice phones. Not as bassy as the HD650, which is both good and bad. I think the lighter bass makes the soundstage less "blobby," but it also make the 600 a bit less fun at first blush. I think the 600 sounds a bit more like the HD800 than the 650 does. But certainly a nice sound and a lot more burn-in required until my opinions match exactly those of everyone else.

Exactly. Followed finally by, "You just hate Apple. Go get a PC."

Impossible! Apple is benevolent and kind!

A good mattress makes life better. I've despised the last few I've had.

Dusty is trying to silence the peanut gallery.

Fitz rubs it all over his body.

I've got some JB Weld. Whaddya think? The hardest part will be clamping it because it's small and needs to be held at an odd angle. I'm going to try AT first.

^That's NOT how you're supposed to put them on? Yup, I agree. Will touch base with them today.
