I haven't tried those two, when were they released?

Graphics aside, my favourite storyline for a computer based RPG is Planescape: Torment. So much fun... if you haven't played it you owe it to yourself to hunt that one down.

This is a very personal choice as well. For $10K, I would stick with the headphones and amp that I have, though I would likely put some money into more boutique parts for the amp. Most of my money would go into the source. The Opus is certainly interesting and I've always liked Meitner and Wadia gear.

Thats awesome, I've been loving the old games on my Wii... no secret of mana yet though.

Got a link Monk? Seems like snake oil to me... I trust aerius' ears though, so we'll see what he finds.

She got that enable hokey pokey done on the drivers??? Whatever works I guess...

He is also a great guy who I wouldn't hesitate to do business with. Kevin is taking his time working on the website and the business. I wouldn't be surprised if he makes some serious waves once he goes public.

Cool thread... I need a copy of that Tori Amos album. I have it in decent quality MP3, but that just wont do.

This really bugs me... all those lovely grados and a stinkin' sennheiser gets more time on your head!

Yeah, the K340 price hike really pisses me off... and I know that I am largely to blame for it, which makes it worse.

Cool impressions Eaphan. At least I know now how much I would have to spend to be happy with the RS-1's. LOL What do you expect? I feed my K340's a steady diet of downtempo beats and then you come in with that shite! "What the fuck is this, I thought I was supposed to play music?"

Clearly motor run caps are the way to go if you want an ipod dock you can kill someone with.

Not sure if this is a Linux only option, but I have been enjoying SwiftFox of late.

Maybe I should give 'The Drift' or 'Tilt' a try since you guys seem to have struck wood over Mr. Walker, but I just can't bring myself to spend more money on his music after how letdown I was by 'Classics & Collectibles'. I mean... he is sooo cheeeeeezy.

In my defense, this was before he had shown himself to be a tool.

Yeah, that amp would be his prototype of the same piece of shite he had me making.

I've also been thinking about picking up some of Gaimans comics... wouldn't mind getting the hardcover 300 as well.

Aerius touched on it in his post, but Ori is the one who convinced me to build his piece of shit 'minimalist design' 6H30 tube amp over the KG Bamaslama. So when I read about his 'minimalist approach' on the zhaolu output stage I am a *little* skeptical. Thankfully Peter was able to use most of the parts that I had from the 'Ori Amp' and I wasn't out a ton of money. You obviously had a smooth time in your transactions with Ori. I absolutely did not. After eating up his bullshit for months he finally washed his hands of me and left me hanging with an amp that not only sounded like shit, but was poorly designed and did not fit my needs one bit. He was incredibly condescending throughout the whole experience and would not explain anything. You have no idea how many times I was told to JUST DO IT. Every time I see that jackass post on head-fi with his bolding, underlining and CAPTILIZATION it is all I can do to just leave him be. That aside, he regularily pimps his gear through the Head-Fi PM system and I have no idea why he hasn't been shut down yet. He sells two pricey cables with nearly no explination of their merits and his website is a complete joke. I would probably punch him if I met him in real life... and I'm a pacifist.

MOTHER FUCKER

Ori is a fucking hack... I've never heard his output stage, but after my personal experience with him I would never recommend him to a friend.

Exactly... BUT STILL.

I'd really like to know what the hell is in there to justify that... KA-RAZY!

I got a nice computer for my aunt recently from Dell. Sempron processor, 1GB of memory, onboard nvidia graphics, msworks package with word, 19" LCD, 'speakers', laserjet printer... came out to $850CDN. And that is including PST, GST and shipping.

I don't think you can cound the SS-1 as one of the current top amps in any category, since it is a one off. Has anyone compared a balanced B22 to a Dynamight? That would be an interesting match up.

Ok, I want to hear the beat off joke...
