4 eggs, overeasy with salt and pepper... My wife did some baking and got way too many eggs, so I am 'forced' to eat them.

That looks pretty sweet and not really crazy expensive... still a bit more than I'd like to spend, and I don't actually own a HD-DVD player, so was thinking more of getting one that had this capability.

Ok, what is that 'one in particular' you speak of? I am not just drawn to the idea for a visual increase on my Wii games, but to simplify the wiring on my 'home theater'.

Well, HD DVD is cool since it lets you play your regular DVDs upsampled to HD resolutions. I'm probably going to get a player at some point. I think I remember seeing one that had inputs on it that then get upsampled? That could be cool for the Wii.

Sweet amp! Now you just need one that doesn't suck balls for your dynamic headphones.

I really need to collect the rest of the seasons at some point... only have 1-3 so far I think. I have seen them all before though, so it would just be to revisit the series.

You're pimping them, but I didn't mean that in a negative way... also, quite possible that our definition of 'pimping' something is slightly different. How do your IC's compare to the Poiemas? Care to share the recipe or offer special introductory head-case pricing? No way in hell I am affording stuff from Ridge Street any time soon.

Huh?

Sweet, I have the massive attack one. How much was the clash?

Way too cool Kevin. How much damascus steel do you figure you will have left over?

Those Poiemas that Spritzer pimps are really starting to interest me, but I'm not smart enough to figure out if their explanation of the design is complete audiophile bullshit or not.

Well, for a balanced cable you could have one silver and one copper each for + and -.

They're a sponsor y'know...

From the comparison we did at a recent meet, the OPUS with zapfilter sounded identical to my Eastsound with zapfilter... the OPUS with the ballsie output stage seemed to be missing something, but it may just have been a gain matching issue as the zapfilter has higher output. They were very close though in any case, which is why the OPUS is off my radar for now.

FYI, he tried the HD201s and liked them, so all is well.

Yeah, I've been waiting for a good DIY AKM based board to go all crazy on. Anything out there yet? I'll keep my eye on this new twisted pear though... the OPUS wasn't any better than what I already have.

The Bumbacat, destroyer of blue LEDs! I like it.

Hmmm, is it in anything good?

You called? My GOD, blue LEDs have no fucking place in a tube amp! Jeezus.

What is the PCM1794 like? Any other DACs or CD players that use it?

Acid at a rave would be crazy... no thanks.

Oh, probably.

Damn, it sounds familiar, but no. Maybe the Wife will remember, she was more of a candy kid than I. When I went to raves I was more into drum and bass... well, and drugs.
