Amy's her dominant personality's name, Evelyn's one of her secondary personality's names, silly. Amy doesn't know Evelyn's passwords, even, so of course wouldn't realized she called you before. It's like Jekyll and Hyde and shit, except it's Amy/Evelyn/Whateverthefuck. Occam's razor, right?

Ok. I'll wait for your signal.

Finally opened my Modernist Cuisine at Home. It's one of the most awesomest cookbooks I've ever seen (I don't have their "big book"). I guess I have to go buy some kind of sous vide contraption. This is not a complaint.

"You couldn't hit the side of a barn with the rest of the world!" "You're a danger to yourself—not others!" "There's this concept called a 'target.' It's the thing you keep missing."

Porcupine Tree — The Incident

Your Glass inspired my Glass.

Holyfuckingshit pizzacones.

Black Monster is a classic.

Has it been long enough for me to ask whether you've made up your mind?

Even tho Monkey stated it, can we call it Ape Law?

^^ Saw one in the flesh a few weeks ago. Drooled. Case is made of plastic tho, and titanium, what a scratch magnet. And the price is so outrageous as to not be believed. Not that I don't think there are plenty of watches out there "worth" $25,000, but there are twenty watches I'd buy at that price before that one. Not that I'm buying watches that spendy, ever.

Bernard Hermann/Elmer Bernstein — Cape Fear Truly one of the greats.

My big rig is at work (with the PWD), and I have the StageDAC at home and the Dragonfly for travel. The other two are collecting dust for sure. I'm thinking of swapping the StageDAC (which is connected to my computers at home) for something else, however...

Got a sitter for Friday night, so bought tickets for Lincoln and Skyfall, in that order. Talk about genre whiplash!

I try to ignore the constant fluttering, buzzing sound, but that's part of its charm.

FYI the Dragonfly has pretty good weight:performance ratio.

Shitfire squared. Or cubed, even. Wait, I have five! My meager (by comparison) collection: PS Audio PWD 2, Audioquest Dragonfly, Meier StageDAC, Headroom Overture DAC, Musical Fidelity X-DAC. Clearly I don't have enough of these DACses things.

When watching a movie, we call any incredibly-dumb-but-implausibly-beautiful scientist type "Dr. Christmas Jones." There are a lot of them out there.

Tyll, are we going to see a review of the DSHA-1 from you at some point?

Shitfire! 20! I thought I was nuts having four. I mean, I am nuts, but...

Noise is omnipresent whether source is connected or not. With no source connected, the loudness of the noise goes from bal (loudest) to mini to rca (quietest) when I select the different inputs. Looks like it's coming from the amp.

This is my favorite iPad case.

What the shit? I connected an XLR to 1/4" adapter to my JH13s and connected it to the SE output on the amp, and voila, the noise is much much less. At first I thought it was gone totally but I turned up the gain to high and heard it again, then turned it down to low and I can just *barely* hear it. Since when is a single-ended connection less noisy than a balanced one? I'm even more confused now. And I'm pretty sure it's not the cable—I tried another one with a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter, same thing. Edit: Wait, I'm an idiot—the balanced out has twice the gain and so the noise is amplified, duh.

It's not entirely quiet above 30%, it's just that the buzzing sound goes away. I definitely hear some hiss above the 30% mark. This is not good, no? If I can get my hands on a multimeter, I'll ask for further instructions. Or I could ask the person who made the cable for me...
