Louis C.K. is my favorite as well. I think he might be the best stand-up comedian of all time. Generally I think stand-up comedy right now is at a very high level artistically. Partly this is because its so much easier to access stand-up comedy, via Netflix etc, but also I think comedians are upping their game. This whole thing about ditching your whole routine and starting over from scratch after you film a special takes guts, and a lot of comics are doing that now. I also think stand-up is "cooler" now then it used to be, starting with Patton Oswalt and the Comedians of Comedy, I think we'll look back at that as an important milestone. During the 90s we were bombarded with Seinfeld-esque "funniest guy at the office" type of comedy, pretty much any asshole figured he could get on stage and say "whats the deal with..." Which is a huge insult to Seinfeld, who is amazing (still amazing, he came through my town last year and KILLED, I could not believe how dedicated he still is to stand-up), but his popularity kind of spawned a type of safe stand-up, which is weird because Seinfeld is actually really dark, he just doesn't go blue. I see that in Gaffigan to, hilarious and seriously dark, it just happens to all be about food and hotel pools instead of sex and profanity. But even in the 90s there was an undercurrent of real comedy, most easily portrayed by Hicks. Actually in my mind I'm drawing a comparison between music in the 80s and comedy in the 90s. The 1980s in terms of popular music was a bunch of easily digestable safe crap, while outside the mainstream music was groundbreaking and awesome. I've obviously had my coffee this morning. Anyway Dusty (or anyone else) if you want to check out a brilliant comic on Netflix who I believe will be the next one to break out, watch Tom Segura's new special, can't remember what its called but its his only one on Netflix. I've watched it 3-4 times and laugh just as hard everytime. Also Forever and Gotham are great. I'm glad to see Gotham loosen up and inject some comedy into the show. There was an awesome two word line in episode 5 "Viper" that had me cracking up. I'm sure you'll recognize it when you get to it.

BTW, damn you if you get that GS-1 for sale on HF.

Do you boycott real monsters, like on Halloween? I like Halloween monsters.

Did anyone here ever own one of these? One up on agon for $550.

How was Uganda? I have this weird thing with Chelsea Handler where I think she's just great but I don't like her show at all. So I'm curious about the standup. I'm rewatching in Louis CKs standup specials in order. Just watched Shameless.

happy birthday marc! have a kick ass day.

damn i'm shocked they discontinued the Peak. Don't know how many they sold but it seems like it was the most talked about Apex amp by far.

Pretty much. Basically it's "The Drift" but with a long sustained guitar chord throughout.

Scott O))) — Soused It sounds exactly like you think it would.

hey now, welcome back! always great when an estranged headcaser returns to the fold.

The second time around was even better for me. I made connections I didn't make before.

Purely my subjective observations, but I think phone manufacturers are going to have a harder time convincing people they need to upgrade. The hardware is just at a point where almost every phone is super fast, and what other "must have" features can we really cram into a phone?

this is awesome on so many levels. i'm going home and putting tubes in all my cables.

I'm gonna start posting Windows phone links in BOTH threads.

Here's hoping L gets pushed to GPe devices quickly.

Yay Vick!!

Haven't listened to the full Stern interview but he was saying the same thing in the bit I caught.

and a cape! and a bag of coins you can throw at a peasant to do your criminal bidding.

Ah cool. I do love the way those Yamaha players look, really cool design. I haven't heard one personally, nor do I know/trust anyone who has. As far as Bluray Pure Audio, I have a few discs that sound great, but just like any format, its all about the mastering.

5400ES is out of production as of last spring. Prices have been unusually high since then, though eventually used prices might hit saner levels. Anyway I'd go for the Oppo that hits the desired price point if I was in the market. I've enjoyed my 95 for a while now. No need to get the D versions if you aren't using them for video.

Huge price difference between the two, like $1500 looking at retail prices. Are you sure you don't mean the BDP-105 vs the S1000? That would make more sense price-wise.

I can't remember if I sold the W3000ANV before or after I bought the HD800. Its a really good looking phone and felt great on my head but I just never clicked with the AT sound.

When I had my beta and w3000anv i ran it with a gain of 3. it was fine. when i sold the beta, which was a really beautiful build by naamanf, it had been up for sale at HF for 8 months. I bought it for $1000 which was a screaming deal and ended up selling it for $700. Sold it to some no feedback hardly any posts guy from texas. Took a risk but it was a perfect sale. Buyer: I want this Me: Here's my paypal /rcv paypal payment /ship amp /never heard from buyer again awesome. anyway I'm not one to be concerned about resale value but I was just surprised at how much the beta seems to have fallen in popularity. People were losing their goddamn minds over this thing 3-4 years ago.

I'll throw in an sr125 that's old so it's special or something.
