It surprises me how long Apple took to "take care" of this "problem". It might have been a good commercial strategy though, allowing people to try OSX for free, and then saying, "if you liked it, then buy a real Mac".

Happy birthday!

Nice! Coffee stout ftw.

Awesome!

What do you mean by that? Too dark, too bright? I didn't find the Pico particularly colored myself, but I'm always curious to hear different opinions.

Are you Blutarsky's official spokesman?

The bigger question is: why do so many MOTs fail on Head-fi? Don't these people realize the implications of running a business and dealing with customers? Should the H-F rules be more strict, like seeing a finished product before allowing people to promote their business?

From HF:

Yes, they started the duet thing on the Trick tour, but it was Bill Bruford drumming then, Thompson first appeard on the Wind & Wuthering tour. The Musical Box reproduce all of that of course and let me say, hearing The Cinema Show instrumental part live with two drummers is an out of this world experience.

The Musical Box - A Trick Of The Tail tour It was my fifth time seeing these guys and they sure as hell didn't disappoint. For those who don't know, TMB are a Genesis cover band, but it's as far as it gets from your local bar cover band. They reproduce Genesis shows exactly the way they were played in the 70s, with the clothes/costumes, projections, instruments, speeches, etc. They spent the last 10 years or so doing tours from the Peter Gabriel era all over the world and it's the first time they venture in the Phil Collins period. So far, I had seen 3 times doing the Selling England by the Pound tour and one time The Lamb. Singer Denis Gagne's voice is exactly like Gabriel, and I thought he didn't pull Collins quite as well yesterday night, but the rest of the band made up for it. I have to say, if you consider yourself a Genesis fan and haven't seen TMB yet, do yourself a favor and grab tickets as fast as you can. For those interested the setlist (same as the original 1976 setlist) was: Dance on a Volcano Lamb Lies Down On Broadway Fly on a Windshield Carpet Crawlers Cinema Show Robbery Assault and Battery White Mountain Firth of Fifth Entangled Squonk Supper's Ready I Know What I Like Los Endos It / Watcher of the Skies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is1oTQj5gRk

You should get along well with postjack, he likes phat bass and loud music too while rolling in his pimped lowridaz car.

Agreed, Canada Post is usually very reliable. Canadian customs, on the other hand, that's something else...

I'm speaking for myself, but I go to a lot of classical concerts at different venues, I've played trumpet in a youth symphonic orchestra and I participated in a couple of big bands and harmonies so I know pretty much how unamplified instruments are supposed to sound. Since I've started this hobby, I've played my music collection on a bunch of different setups and I figured out which albums sound like the real thing and which ones do not. One variable left is whether sound engineers wanted to give a certain studio flavor to the album or if they wanted it to sound like live music. I always take for granted that they want it to sound like live music, but I could be wrong. The last variable left is how much my setup affects the sound. So I don't think it too far-fetched to use words such as "accurate" and "coloured". With that said, I have no clue if my audio memory is accurate and if my hearing is good, medium or bad, and there are no real ways to test that, so what I said above could be void by that. Thumbs up for the thread, it was an interesting idea.

What kind of stuff do you do that requires more than 4 GB or RAM?

Happy birthday!

Camel - Lady Fantasy Twelve minutes of pure awesomeness.

You can't appreciate the full complexity of Kenny G's music until you've heard it on a O2. It actually feels like being at this baby's place:

Camel - A Live Record

Happy birthday!

Ugh, Miles Davis must turning in his grave. What's next? Monster "Gustav Mahler" symphonic headphones? I give them the benefice of the doubt since I haven't heard them, but I can't see how "In A Silent Way" would sound good out of these small earphones.

Do JH Audio reply to their emails usually? Sent one on Friday and no answer yet...

Happy birthday!

I managed to lower the price quite a bit from the local guy, it was a deal I couldn't resist. Tried it with my Quad 11L actives and it smokes the Denon DA-500 for sure. Probably sounds nothing like yours though.
