Nice one. As a photographer, I must suggest that you stop down a bit in order to get the entirety of the front panel in focus. Still, bully for you for scoring such an unusual and capable amp.
That sucks about the knee, Knate. I went through a similar issue late last year. I was overdoing it on the AMT and had trouble walking for a week. It took me the better part of a month to return to the gym in a complete capacity. Since then I've purchased not one but two knee braces, as well as an ace bandage (to keep the knee brace from abrading my skin.) Best of luck with it. Knees are nice, but they seem to work better in pairs.
I'm not going to exert much energy defending Monotonous Snare Music, um I mean drum n bass. "IDM" is such a vague tag these days that it is essentially meaningless, but I occasionally find releases lumped in the genre that I like. Certainly, there were a lot of "IDM" artists in the 90s I liked then and continue to respect. As for ambient, from John Cage to Philip Glass to Pete Namlook to All India fricken Radio, all I can say is "O RLY" through about 3 miles of reverb.

It no longer has perfect feeback like it did ...whenever I last looked at it (a while ago.)
Wow. That'd make the T1s a priority for me, I suppose.
The TakeT H2s were made from drum n bass and dubstep. I thought I knew what snare drums sounded like, then I got the Fugs, and I knew.
I've been sick, all day. Again. Sicker than yesterday, even.
I haven't left the house, but at least I have a wood stove, music, and the intertubes. I suppose things could be worse. I hear calling me, though.
I just spent an hour on AIM, talking to my good friend Sean. I explained to him why I could hear the difference between V0 mp3s and FLACs, using pictures of my headphone rig as it has evolved over the last 5 years. He thought I was nuts, but understood my point. It was an amusing tale to tell. I might turn it into a Pick of your setup post.
