I just realized that, for the first time since January, I'm listening to music on my rig without a single tube anywhere in the signal path.

A couple of poor pictures. I'll take some better ones this weekend when I have a good long morning of sunshine to open the blinds and snap photos: You can see the 999es, scoffing that it was moved a shelf down to make room for this new slim competitor. Right now I'm listening to FSL Rubber Soul -> foobar asio4all -> usb -> aqvox -> dynahi -> hp-2 and it sounds wonderful. I haven't done any A/Bing with the Modwright because I just feel like listening to music right now.

deadwood beats the shit out of the sopranos.

cocksucker!!

congrats! I just started following the same diet my sister used, since we both have Johnson genes. Basically just protein for breakfast (protein drink) and lunch (grilled chicken salad), and then fruit and more protein for dinner with some vegetables. We'll see how it works.

I'm not really making fun of the way he looks, but rather bringing into our little recollection game his response when we told him people would think he was a michael jackson type freak when they saw his isolation booth. I never insult anyone because of how they look. I will insult someone based on how they smell though. Stinky people drive me crazy.

of course I've messed around with the manufaktur little java program and made dozens of pairs of custom beyers, but everytime I look at the price... man! I could buy three pair of used DT990s for one pair of kustom manufakturs with blue grills or somesuch. Or I could buy a DT770/80 Pro from larry and have him carve a tittie out of it.

he doesn't even care because he has pink hair and tattoos or something like that.

cos he made the decision and he can decide with his own ears he dont care what we think we dont have a monopoly on what sounds good a LOT OF POEPLE LIKE RAYS AMPS

how did pizzle become supertrose?

preparation for some sort of wiccan fertility spell.

ramadan in july.

sounds like a 90's dead show.

cool, be sure to tell us how it goes. my brother-in-law saw them in orlando and said it was great.

If you let me buy them for you, I can get a 5% discount. I know the owner.

thats because you eat tubes to harness their powa.

the only dvds i own are DS9 seasons one and two. I'll buy the BSG seasons when it is all said and done. I not much of a rewatcher.

I'm interested to know your "buy no questions asked" authors. Mine are: Jeff Vandermeer R. Scott Bakker Steven Erikson China Mieville Having said that, for all my book buying, I do not own all the books of the above. Except Bakker, but he only has three, but they are three outstanding, mind bending books.

subterranean press! i need to check them out.

I have a fairly serious book buying compulsion, which in the past couple of years unfortunately extended into the area of limited edition, small press science fiction and fantasy publications. My favorite small press is Night Shade Books: http://www.nightshadebooks.com/ About twice a year they have a 50% sale, and when that happens I just go nuts and order a ton of books. Actually, they are having a 50% sale right now, through Jul 29th, if you want to indulge your compulsion. Details in the link above. However, due to my reading preferences (alt-fantasy/sci-fi) I usually can only find books I'm interested in on the 'net, so I don't make many purchases at b&n or bam. Amazon though... whew they have a lot of my money.

what the fuck. not to fucking bad at all, eh? just wait a few more fucking episodes, you'll be so motherfucking hooked.

Actually thats not a bad idea, because in the place of (a little extra cash) I could put RS-1 + HD600, since I hardly ever listen to them, again if I could find a good deal.

The amp looks beautiful, congrats! You have a wonderful looking rig. On an unrelated note, how is it using an easy chair like that at your computer? I want something more comfortable for listening, and my rig is by my computer as well.

I'm still pretty torn to be honest with you. One minute I think I love them, the next minute I'm thinking of selling them. But usually when I start waffling like this, I end up selling and not regretting. The arrival of the W11JPN has clarified matters a bit. It is on the whole less fatiguing and much more pleasant to listen to then the W5000, but is nowhere near as resolving. The W11JPN sounds like a very very good headphone, and the W5000 sounds like a flawed audiophile grade headphone. I put on the W5000, and am instantly excited by its sound signature, but by the end of an album I'm already fatigued and don't want to keep listening. On the other hand, I put on the W11JPN and am not immediately impressed with the sound, but after a few songs I am completely seduced and loving it, and I want to listen to music on it all night long. I just wish there was a phone with the general sound signature of the W11JPN, but with better resolution, detail retrieval, and bass impact. And of course by all that I've read, this is the L3000. But at the current market prices... yikes!

What are the new flavors?
