The Monkey

The Feelies at the Dan Graham show at the Whitney Museum. They are such a tight band. Great rhythms and textures. Jingle-jangle indie rock goodness. Horrible acoustics in the concert space though.

I like rap.

Yeah, there's that.

That's pretty good advice, actually.

Ok, Panda, here's what you do. Get an EAD DAC and a Parasound DAC (1000, 1100, 1500, or 1600) and compare them. Then take the better DAC and compare it to the Electrocompaniet ECD-1 that you will purchase. Then post the results.

oof. I remember being able to do that. I can't even imagine now. I would definitely be crying in agony at my desk.

I want the Alpha DAC.

"PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?"

7 minutes.

Thanks Grahame and Yikes. He is now, Ric:

dessert.

Yikes, what's the "debug" button for?

Heh, the Head-Caser's 5 food groups: beer, wine, whiskey, pizza, and music.

I'll bring the SkipJack. It has some pretty cool A/B/X capabilities. They're also used to make crystal meth.

Thanks. Couldn't resist.

Show me the linky.

Dropped off my wife and son at the airport for their trip to California with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. They'll be gone until Sunday, which I think will be the longest we've been apart in 3 years. The quiet is nice for now, but gets old fast. Lots of HD800 listening over the next few days. And pizza. Lots of pizza.

I wish I were so clever. However, it's true, I literally bit my tongue and it hurts like a sumbitch today.

I will be watching that tonight.

No! We are actually debating about the cable debate. Much more meta!

That makes sense and I think my post applies equally well (or poorly if you disagree with the basic premise) to that scenario.

I bit my tongue and it's bothering me. A lot.

It sucked.

What bothers me are the statements that assume that it is undisputed that cables make a difference. I really don't think they make a difference, and even when I have perceived such a difference (my Senn Cardas v. stock), I have generally believed it to be placebo. However, regardless of my position, I acknowledge and agree that there is another side to this debate. But there are folks on other sites who simply regurgitate, without further reflection, the claims manufacturers make (which we must reasonably agree are outright misleading in many instances) and/or the claims of uninformed posters who make up for their ignorance by stating opinions as fact and doing it repeatedly. That people believe that cables make a difference is perfectly reasonable even though I disagee with it. That people assume that it is universally accepted that cables make a difference is problematic to me, especially when that assumption is reinforced by certain know-nothing blowhards elsewhere (this is not a reference to you, Jimmy).

Sorry Nate, rules are rules.
