Probably Fidelis.
Yep. I am glad I done with dacsessses.

Does anyone have any good reading material on the differences between M6, HIB silicon steel, amorphous and nanocrystaline cores for transformers?

happy birthday Todd!

True dat, they should definitely just concentrate on making a reliable SR-Omega with stronger/better arc assembly. Interesting thoughts on the HD800, I may have to revisit them at some point (and figure out which mods you are referring to).
Something about the old Stax which had that "magic" even if less technically capable, that the newer units I've heard are missing. And what is music for, if not the magic and the extraordinary?
The mods are documented by Tyll on Inner Fidelity. Basically some foam/fabric material lining the inside earcup to kill some treble ringing. Also mild FR smoothing around 6 Khz.

Not much of a Joss fan from what I've seen.
The Shield should be higher (much) on the list IMHO. Breaking Bad should also be higher. Never have really gotten Mad Men either.
I really need to watch The Wire as well.
Also Rubicon didn't make the list

JMHO for me the modded 800 with BA were better than the BH/007mk1 or KGSS/007mk1. I love the 007, they will always have a special spot, just like the SR-O. I've had a chance to hear the 009 with BH in quiet settings on a few occasions and they never moved me. Even when PJ had them for as low as $3300 I didn't feel I wanted to buy one. Stax did something really right with the SR-O, black magic or whatever
With the Gilmore Lite I don't think the 800 are as special. I'm not sure if it's the DHTyness of the BA or higher output Z, but that combo clicks for me.

They already made that, it's called the SR-Omega. Which I guess makes sense with your theory since they most likely used the T2 to voice it.
The most perfect Stax ever made . If they had SR-007 mk1 reliability I would have kept them even if I very rarely listened to headphones.
Not to go all HPA, but the modded HD800 are pretty close in terms of tone. And they have superior imaging. But lack that ethereal soundstage only the SR-O could do.

Great post Frank.

I think overall the WGA list is pretty solid, many lesser known but excellent shows made the list. Much of what is in the top 20 predates me, so I am not too familiar with them. Though Mad Men is a well written show, it's something I put on if I need to fall asleep.

Which 741 pak?
KBT, one that has been around forever and has lots of replacement parts available.
-
I've been using a manual poor over the last couple of weeks. I'm preferring it to the Aero, even though it's a much bigger pain in the ass to use and takes roughly 10 minutes once you factor in grind time. So I'm considering a Technivorm 741 now

Really nice work Frank. I was priveledged to see Kerry's P2P work on the GES in person; a thing of beauty!

I am streaming a long playlist of Sonny Rollins in the office today. I am having trouble matching volume levels between straight Spotify and this different Spotify. There might be a bit of difference in sound quality but it is not dramatic on my little Stax system.
I do kind of miss my apps though.
The apps is a big reason why I wish we could use the regular client.

Those of you with Spotify Premium accounts looking to stream to your DAC, check out Fidelify: http://www.fidelify.net/
Works great for me.
The stock client has a better interface, so I hope the devs incorporate ASIO or WASAPI into it at some point.

How is Paulie not loathsome?
His general demeanor makes up for his shittyness. He usually made me inadvertently laugh on the inside when he was on screen.
-
I've seen the Sopranos multiple times, and I love The Twilight Zone.
Who are the non-loathsome characters on The Sopranos? The only ones I can think of are maybe a few guys in the FBI; all minor characters. And Paulie.
I've attempted to watch this again (I watched it all a couple of years after it ended), but I just can't bring myself to do it. First time I watched it I sort of glossed over how annoying Tony actually is.

If I didn't read the word Abyss in your post that pretty much describes the TakeT to a... T

Milk was a bad choice
Anyone catching new series Breaking Bad?
in TV

I read this BB finale speculation on another forum and it made me laugh:
Usual Suspects ending with Walt Jr. revealing (as he walks away without crutches or any sign of a limp) that the entire series was his elaborate manipulation of his parents to get them ridiculously rich and then off each other so he can safely inherit it.
