geez the active topics have SUCKED the past few days. one on the iBasso and one on home theatre. i passed out on my keyboard reading the one about the bag it was so fucking boring.

been bouncing back and forth between DS9 season 3 and NYPD Blue season 3. DS9 is starting to get really good this season. pretty dark for a trek!

oh, i forgot you have a 51! yes that definitely counts, it doesn't get anymore real then a 51, especially if it is a vacumatic sterling cap.

huzzah, you bought a real pen!

basically fuzzy ear is kind of like a barbed tentacle: once it gets in you, you have to pull it through to get it out. so you need to get an IEM (just one), a Dynahi, Beta22, or similarly powerful amplifier, and a copy of the Iggy Pop "Raw Power" remaster. Put the IEM in the fuzzy ear and turn up the volume BIG TIME boy, like loud yall. boom after like 5-10mins that fuzz will go straight through your brain brain and out the other ear. you know it'll be done because a thin yellowish smoke will puff out of that ear, that is the fuzz leaving. then you can rock out 4 real yall, no block for the rock up in ya chop shop.

I'm always intrigued by a full line of products from one manufacturer that can pretty much handle all your audio needs. As much praise as I've read about the Opus 21, I'm surprised to have never even heard of the S30 Integrated Amplifier and the XS "Extra Sources"..., um, box thing, which has an MC and MM phono stage, additional inputs including USB, an FM/AM tuner (!!!!!!), and a headphone amplifier. Can't find much about these two components around the world wide internet. Anybody ever seen them, heard them, or read a review of them?

hap happy birthday ian!!

awesome! what a great episode. How about the Chino XL?

And on the seventh day, the Lord God rested. Hallelujah, hallelujah, praise the Lord.

this is what jb mean:

If the rest of the record is fine, its probably a scratch, in which case the answer is no. \

mahfuckas be like postin bullshit rite, damn

Don't confuse me with those extremists either, and please keep in mind I have yet to hear a truly high end digital source, like 909's Reimyo or Rek's Capitole. I'd love to hear one of those or an Opus 21 someday. and of course there is SACD, which is amazing. But even those can be ruined, as the Genesis remasters proved.

again, I don't begrudge anybody not wanting to spin records. it is a lot of work, and the needed accessories, even on a budget setup, are many. I have a dry brush, two wet brushes, a liter of cleaning fluid, then little cleaning fluid application bottles, a record cleaning machine, hundreds of lined paper sleeves, hundreds of outer record sleaves, and four plastic corrugated boxes which are just barely containing my vinyl collection. And all of that is just for maintenance and storage. but I continue to be shocked at what great sound I get out of my $400 direct drive. "if I could buy the world a technics..."

Bollocks. I have never had a record "develop" pops and clicks after ANY amount of plays, much less a couple. So long as your turntable is properly setup, what with the VTF and VTA and cart alignment and all those lovely things ( <3 kab integrated carts), no record will "develop" pops and clicks over its lifetime.

And the sad thing is that in todays recording/mastering climate, I have absolutely no qualms with paying $30 + shipping for a single vinyl album that I know will be mastered and pressed superbly. I mean I didn't even think about preordering the KG/SH Aja. I just did it. And I'm glad I did! Then again I'm spinning an original WB vinyl pressing of Gang Of Four's "Entertainment" that I bought on ebay for $10. Sounds phenomenal, with a very real studio space permeating the recording. On the flip side of the coin, lets say I somehow downloaded a flac copy of The Wall MFSL and burned it on a mitsui mam-a gold archival CDR. Lets say it sounds absolutely stupendous. The bottom line is that, as a format, vinyl just makes it so much more difficult for the masterer to fuck up the sound. I mean, it can still be done, but not like with digital, where the possibilities for compression and maximization are endless.

Anyone else think the 325i is an attractive headphone? I sold mine almost a year ago but I still like the way it looks in pictures.

dew et now boy
