The Monkey

Thank you, by Monday will be fine.

^ I know how to do all of that except use the google ajax API, start with a canonical list of search hits, compare new iterations of the search result set against the canonical set, and look for differences. I did some searching last night and it looks like there are some standalone software solutions, but they all seem to be for Windows--I have a Mac. There are some web-based apps that might work, but they seem to turn results daily at the most frequent. I'd want hourly at least. One web-based app looks like that functionality is in development, but not out yet. I'll find a solution. I'm persistent like that.

Ok, but now how does it notify me with the specificity that I want?

My Lambda cables always get all twisted after the Y-split (the cables that go to each earpiece). Not twisted together, but each one almost has a spiral look to it and I can't get them to straighten out. Does anyone else have this problem?

I thought maybe it would be something like that. But how would I configure it?

Forgot that I also got more of these: Like magic.

Is there some way to monitor auction sites or forums such that when a particular product went on sale, you would receive an email or would otherwise be notified? For example, let's say I was in the market for another North Star. I could subscribe to the FS forums on HF, HC, etc. and get daily updates. Same with the 'bay. Not sure about the 'gon. But I'm wondering if there is some sort of service or feed or robot or spider or whateverthefuck that would monitor certain sites and notify me asap when something was posted for sale. Is this remotely feasible, or am I just being an assfacehole?

It's eerie how timely it is now.

Hey Jay! Happy Birthday!

Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron

Perhaps they should replace the Harbeths in the office nearfield rig.

Hey, John! Happy Birthday! Sorry for the belated good wishes.

Did you guys have a good time?

Klipsch Image X10. Needed a subway IEM. Well, maybe "need" is a strong word, but 50% is hard to resist.

As mentioned in another thread, the Ravi Coltrane Quartet at the Vanguard with Tyrion. Reminds me that I need to revisit jazz. It was a good show.

What do you think about a KGSS?

I'm beginning to think that the 007t---->O2 Mk2 combo just isn't doing it for me. I love the amp with my Lambdas. But I'm disappointed with the O2. I've been trying so hard to love the O2 mk2, but the magic doesn't see to be there. I don't know if this is an mk1 v. mk2 thing or the amp or what, but it is frustrating. Compared to my Signatures, the O2 mk2 does not have the same attack, nor does it seem to be as detailed. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it tonight. Regardless, I look forward to trying the O2 mk1 side-by-side at the NYC meet, and I also look forward to trying out some asskicking SS stat amps to see if what the mk2 needs is a swift kick in the pants. Just when you think you've got the rig all set...

Plugina.

Ah, will it be ready for ny1c?

Good suggestion, can't find one cheap right now. Anything else? Creative X-Fi something or other?

Ordered. Need something faster.

Can someone recommend something cheap I can use as an external USB Amp/DAC for testing purposes? Looking for something under 50 bucks.

good advice so far. I, too, have been partial lately to Shiraz from Oz. You can get cheap stuff that's fun and tasty and from there the sky's the limit. To use a term from our other hobby, I think Shiraz scales nicely. Other things to look out for that will be good bang-for-the-buck and nice examples of their kind: sauvignon blanc from New Zealand or South Africa; French chablis (though usually a bargain only compared to other white burgundies); Austrian white wines; Pinot Noir from Oregon or Washington. Then splurge on a Kistler (chardonnay) from California. The key is to taste as much as possible, preferably with friends so you can discuss it. And don't feel compelled to use winey words. If it tastes like an old shoe, say that. Or if it tastes "real fruity" well that's good too. Enjoy and let us know what you find.

Godammit, now I'm going to get the X5 or X10. Almost a no-brainer and I also loved them at Can-Jam. Now I just need to figure out which one. X10 = more EXTREME bass, correct?
