did you buy something from me?

really?! did you buy j-pizzle's hp-2?

i've got most of them now, even a couple of the opera ones. i actually should be getting the complete new set in today from acoustic sounds, along with 5 new ryan adams lps.

because i am a clever, clever sleuth. some folks call me Sherlock 3000.

I pretty much crammed season one into a few saturday/sunday afternoons. I don't watch too much TV during the week. The show is just so damn good and fun to watch, that when you have the DVDs its hard to STOP watching. I've had to force myself to take breaks, like go listen to a record inbetween episodes and browse headcase. Anyway, I'm about 5 episodes deep into season two, and it is just as good, if not better, then season one. Reqieum For A Gleet will go down as one of my favorite episodes, if also one of the most painful. After this I'll probably do season 3 of NYPD blue, then check out season one of The Wire, which I am also told is amazing.

he bought grawk's vtg.

very nice room Ken! my little listening area is totally cramped right now. I need to sell some shit. \

Some early impressions: Something I have noticed tonight is that the aqvox is more "forward" then the modwright 999es. This works out very well for rock music. However, with classical piano, like the Brahms piano concerto I'm listening to right now, its like the piano keys are chiming BAM right up against my ear! Not that this is unpleasant at all, just different from the more remote way the 999es presents piano. Perhaps more simply, I think the soundstage is smaller on the Aqvox then the 999es. The Aqvox is definitely the furthest thing from bright, which is wonderful. i h8 brite. I think it is this lack of brightness that brings the midrange out more, and I believe this is the "laid back" sound signature Iron Dreamer refers to in his excellent DAC/amp comparison review he did a short time ago. Overall, the tidier soundstage and emphasis on (or appearance of an emphasis on) the midrange contributes to an additive synergistic effect with the HP2. At least this is what I'm guessing, as I haven't been able to take these cans off my head since the Aqvox came in two nights ago.

iTunes opens faster on a mac. thats about the only difference.

So is your analog rig up and running or what? If it is I missed your impressions.

ah, so that must be why JB needs all those amyls!

congrats! I have routinely seen this on the 'bay going for over $100!

No shit? Thats what were in the Melos when I bought it, and they sound substantially better then the Ei's I swapped out for them. But if they truly are a terrible tube, then I'm in for a treat when I get these new tubes in.

Why, old bean, I believe you are making a sly reference to a penis!

oh, okay!! geez I was confused there for a second, sorry about that.

thats fine, but I'm wondering if I missed something about the expression "shit your own tubes". Is this some DIY talk or something I don't understand?

hot dogs, sausage, and even ground beef aren't THAT expensive. and all three are delicious.

but seriously though I don't know what you mean when you say shit your own tubes.

wut is brian?

what?

oh shit, is flora that girl who comes in town with her brother? SPOILERS** that scene with cy and the two kids... fucking brutal, eh? way fucked up. *********SPOILERS FOR DEADWOOD CREEPIN ON AH COME UP**************

son of a bitch. word to the wise, don't forget to delete your snipe when you decide you don't want to bid. now i'm stuck with these. oh well, maybe they'll sound okay. needless to say I'm not springing for the 7308 pqs now, as I just inadvertently shot my tube budget load.

what character is she?

what?

shit tubes? what?
