I gave this show a chance. The judges have no balls, Tom is ok, but he is still far too nice. The new British guy was much needed, though it's obvious Padma hates him

Good thing for us you're on dial up

Faust vs. D

re: fuck off my folk music > yuo The folk subgenre does have some cool shit though.

TdP "king of everything" ? I remember reading an article where he said he could make an SS circuit sound exactly like a tube one, but chose to use tubes because they were "in fashion"

I have no idea, I only listened to them for a few minutes.

Keeping the other tubes the same in the ES-1 and just swapping out the quad of EL34s, how big is the difference between various EL34s?

They look like toys, so I was all "pffft" when Faust3d told me to listen to them at the NY meet. And then the bass hit...

Hehe the little HP-50 is an awesome headphone

Good god the SFI 120 must be a beast if the Yamy is middling in comparison My stock HP-1 made most of the amps I tried cry, and in modded form...

Are you guys sure it isn't just the gain being set high on your mini3s? I have a hard time believing battery power could drive a tough load like the ortho presents. I'm convinced they need really powerful amps after hearing most fail horribly. I have a very high gain tube amp (gain 22 I think?) that gives the illusion of driving the Yamy properly, but it's a whole different beast on powerful amps.

Zombi - Spirit Animal

Eloy - Ocean Haven't heard this in years! Pulled out my German first pressing CD and ripped that sucker

Great pictures, thanks Steve

Happy birthday ye olde fart

WA5, for sure. I can't remember the others

Yup, even with my unmodded HP-1 (more efficient than modded ) there were only maybe 2-3 amps at the NY meet that could really drive them.

Damn nice haul Mike

To be fair I only own Morrissey's first two solo albums. And The Smiths' work is what I am using as the benchmark, where I can best describe his writing as "razor sharp", whereas this album just feels soggy. Gone are the witticisms that make you pause and go "damn son" \ FWIW, Something is Squeezing My Skull and Mama Lay Softly On the Riverbed are my favorite tracks on this album.

That tonearm... um... it's "interesting" \

Morrissey - Years of Refusal

Stan Getz, et al - The Brothers Oscar Peterson Trio - At the Stratford Shakespearian Festival

If I can get a modded YH-100 to sound a level above the HP-1 I think a 2 ch Beta22 is in my future.
