The Monkey

I miss college--a lot. I just wish I had worked a bit harder to get better grades. But then I would have missed that party that time. EDIT: I don't miss law school at all.

So, wait, is this digital attenuator suitable for a desktop amp?

It needs an optional money clip.

a shitty haircut.

heh, reksy has me pegged. And I like Cubans by the way.

This makes me laugh each time I read it.

I think thumb wheels suck.

I love teh internets. Ain't no lady will take it frum me.

Al, I agreed with you 100% until I threw it into this current rig, which is a bit piecemeal right now. So, I'm going to have to do some more listening. I also think the North Star could be MUCH better through the XLR out, which I am not currently using.

I don't think the Registrar disaster dream (or its derivatives) ever goes away.

Is Blackie Pagano attending CanJam?

It ain't looking good. The Boy's birthday party is scheduled for 11am - 1pm on Saturday. Not quite the best timing.

The north star might have a slightly better soundstage, but it seems to sacrifice some excitement as a result. Is there a proper way to measure noise floor? The reason I ask is that the ECD-1 seems to be just a touch "hot." Like maybe the mids are emphasized. In comparison, the north star sounds a bit laid back and distant. I'm wondering if that could be a noise floor issue. Any thoughts? Am I talking out of my monkey ass?

I'm actually laughing. And listening to House of Pain, which is also funny.

I think you all should grow mustaches for CanJam--for those of you not mustachioed already. No beards, mind you, just mustaches.

Good ol' ebay roulette.

Happy Birthday!

Whee! Where'd you get 'em?

Well, I guess that's what I'm trying to figure out here. Are the chips such that this thing will in all likelihood sound meh?

Got up with the Boy. Made breakfast for the wife. Getting ready to go out to brunch with Boy, Wife, Mother-in-Law. Boy is a wild mess and has argued with me about every single thing this morning. Joy.

Time to make some cables. I want to cover them in the soft nylon stuff. What sizes would I need for the following: 1) 4-conductor 22 or 24 AWG braid 2) Over regular Mogami Thanks!

Diphenhydramine is tough stuff. I'm actually surprised that it's OTC. I think it's Rx in Europe (though the system there is admittedly different).

Still, for $2k it seems pretty cool.

I have 'em too. Zyrtec for me, which is only moderately effective. Benadryl works, too, but puts me into a coma for 8 hours. So I'm going to take some Vicodin instead.

Travertine is nice. How are you going to finish it?
