The Monkey

Took the Little Monkey to the NYPD Museum. A whole floor dedicated to 9/11, which we didn't let him see much of. We'll have to figure out the best way to explain it to him, as we live about a block and a half from the site of the Twin Towers. But today was not the day. Otherwise, he loved the museum. Not necessarily worth a trip if you're new to NYC, but a good stop if you're around the Seaport and need to kill some time.

I had the DAC1, too. The North Star smokes it in every way. Aside from the soundstage, what are some other differences you've noticed between the ECD-1 and the DAC1?

Not sure if I posted this: Seems like a pretty good deal at $150.00. Seems like the silver is being discontinued. I'm expecting it to be pretty ugly.

So pretty soon I'll have an ECD-1 in the house, which means I'll be able to compare it to the North Star m192 mk2. I've heard such great things about the ECD-1 that I just impulsively pulled the trigger when I saw it on the 'gon. But I also have grown very fond of the North Star. It will be fun to compare. I'll save this space for my impressions...

That's when you get the Ninja MasterCard.

That would be mine now. Looking forward to comparing it to the North Star. Also, not a fan of the damn blue LEDs. But they're damn near ubiquitous at this point. Except for our Penguin friend of course.

I may get an aeropress. Our bodum broke after about 7 years. Wonderful coffee.

I like the direction of this thread. Shows you don't have to spend a ton to enjoy wine. And not just any wine, but good wine.

"300 Beers to Try Before You Die" Law school really ruined reading for me.

Next week I hope to really spend some hours seriously comparing the mk1 and mk2. So far, I love the mk1. Seriously love it.

ECD-1.

Leather cleaning/deodorizing stuff for my mk1.

Did you order from Justin?

This looks like a pretty good deal, no? APC AV H15 1.5kVA H Type Power Conditioner - Silver at Audioholics Store

leather cleaner.

What is Justin's build time on a KGSS these days?

I thought my fellow winos would be interested in the following site: www.cellartracker.com It is an excellent inventory/database/information site.

Triple Moine = Big Yawn

ok, "sweet jane" by the cowboy junkies sounds pretty good.

Listening to my "new" mk1 now. Not in a position to compare to the mk2 yet in any more detail than I did for the NYC meet. However, I do note that to me the mk1 is more like my Lambda Signature than the mk2 is like the Signature. For whatever that's worth.

Nice! Sorry I missed you guys, date night with the wife. Heh, I heard that story. A real motley crew had assembled from what I've heard.

Good to hear, Al. I'd be interested in how you think the DX compares to the GES, too.

Audio Advisor has one for $305.
