I listen to instrumental music between noon and midnight, everything else between 10 and noon, and between 11p.m. and 3a.m.

Peh.

Meh -- I'd recommend a Rega Planet -- more for less (on the used market, anyway). The only thing that would separate the two is if you didn't have space for the Rega. But now we are no longer in the realm of "small form factor", and in a completely different ballpark from "portable".

Yeah, or quote yourself, and modify within the quotes (and then, for extra credit, take out the quote tags).

Does this go for all Hanes, or are you excluding the Beefy T's?

Vicki -- Clara Rockmore?!?!? Yeah, she was the greatest. Dang thing is well nigh impossible to hold a steady note on. I had a friend who went to Robert Moog's Theremin Workshop weeklong thing. Jury's still out with me -- I like novelty (want to get myself a Nixie clock at some point), haven't had to live with it, don't know if I will tire of it (I tire of sugar and salt, so I tire rather easily).

Watched Event Horizon (excellent horror flick -- kind of weird, but on the plus side, unexpected) -- definitely somewhat bad, but successfully scary -- and Samurai Chicks -- low-budget (not just straight-to-video, but shot on video) fun.

I disagree -- and this coming from someone who's usually a MF fanboy -- I quite liked its form factor and its transport section, but the DAC section just sounded congested to me. It's almost like they dumbed down one of their higher-end CDP's, (or the upgrade DAC that was out at the same time), just so that they wouldn't compete with themselves. That said, it, with an external DAC (Bel Canto? Audio Alchemy? isn't the ACk dACk!? half-width?) that would also be half-width could be very nice. There was another one, but I'm not remembering it right now.

I have to admit, I didn't like MatLab the first time I tried it (early oughts), but the second time I tried it (two years ago?), I was sold. It's really gotten quite nice.

No, you...you really don't.

I actually laughed out loud at that. "Clear!"

I bet videophiles who watch on their screen would want it also.

(snickers)

Cool, electronic postcards! Wish you were there! Oh, wait, you are...

+10 irony recognition points for you

I meant the new one. I'm familiar with his older material, and would agree with your assessment.

Yeah, see, there's already one I missed, and that one definitely ranks pretty highly on my list. I'll add Devin to my must-hear list -- I like pretty much everything he's associated with (self, Vai, SYL, etc.).

You should probably have not held her so tight, if it's the expression that looks familiar.

That part was just a reference to his discovery of the joys of swearing here. I've met him once -- he seemed okay...for a moderator...

MatLab is the shit*. *And by "the shit", I use it in the colloquial sense, meaning very, very good.

Happy Birthday, Juan!

No, but Dave (dave1) had one, and I got to listen to it extensively -- almost bought it, but it fills a weird niche -- one that I don't have unfilled. Basically, I went one step up to the SRS-3010. Also, they're open, which doesn't interest me. The SRS-3010 allowed me to get a new Stax amp that I could eventually use with my 4070 (which I still don't have, either).

Seconded.

Defensive much? People paid money for that extra PM space and ability to post photos -- they have a right to complain. Fucker.
