The Monkey

I've been listening to the D/AC 1000. A very satisfying sound. Lots of mids, plenty of bass. Some congestion, too. And a relatively close soundstage. Great bang for the buck. The Dodson is better, IMO, but I see why people love the Parasound DACs.

Congrats, Wes. Once I clear some space on my DAC rack, I suspect I'll be giving you a call.

I like all of it.

Eye stuff gives me the willies. I hope you feel better.

Pretty good. Disparaging, though, which is always risky in competitive advertising.

I like the corporate overlords at the back of the line keeping on eye on who's cheering. And who's not.

Smash it into little tiny bits.

Sorry for your loss, Brent.

What kind of headphones came with the house?

Well done.

Oy, sorry to hear that Doug, but glad you're ok. Perhaps the fact that you guys drive on the wrong side of the road had something to do with it?

I like the fit 'n' finish of the mk2 very much. A lot more comfortable, IMO. I did not find the 800 to be as comfortable as I had hoped. The earpads are great, but I don't like the headband.

I live in perpetual fear of doing that.

Apple seems slow to understand its potential in the music server market.

heh, I can build them myself, but it's still annoying.

Those damn TRS jacks on the back piss me off.

You all are wise.

Good point; I mean, they are geniuses.

Hm, Pro has firewire. Amateur does not.

That HP out is still optical, too, right? Right?

Both sound great.

That's my gut, too, Dan. Any specific reasons, though?

Do I want the new MacBook or a MacBook Pro and why?

Sorry about the terrible news. How's your family doing today?
