Actually, I am a fan of lifelessness in audio equipment. That's the one I have. And I still like it. Have you heard any of their other Confidence series? Big difference is the tweeter -- the Confidence tweeters are the Esotar, whereas many of their other models have the Esotec tweeters.

That said, listen to Hirsch -- he knows his tubes. (And caps, for that matter.)

You might want to try some new tubes, like the Golden Dragons. Dry presentation, nice impact, bass comes with burn-in, slight loss in microdetail -- yup, they should fit the bill.

I could be wrong, but this sounds like "dual differential DACs" to me. Yeah, it'll make a difference, but I don't know how much.

MJG insults; Cries when insulted in kind; Not gonna 'pol'gize No, seriously dude, I hope you know that when we trade quips, it's nothing personal. I certainly take it as the humour I'm sure it's intended as, when you call me "sausage" and such. I was just trying to hit lower than "douche bag", perhaps I sunk a little too low, but think of where the bar was set, and who set it.

Actually, it was. Ask anyone who's ever watched a movie with me -- thrice? Hirsch? You...you...douche water waste, you.

Lights off, TV on; Don't notice when shit explodes; but loud when film soft.

Something about a whore and a sailor convention.

In my case, it's purely convenience. There are vids out there, that I enjoy seeing (such as the movie trailers on apple.com) that are in .mov format, and I don't feel like looking for it in another format. Ditto Real. I found something called "Real Alternative" which is great in that it plays real format vids just fine (you can't press stop, though -- you have to re-open the file if you do), but doesn't subsume the computer like RealPlayer does. Now I need to find "Quicktime Alternative". I don't feel like installing software I will never use (iTunes).

Feh. Does it matter? I haven't got that, neither.

You know, every review I read of that JAS audio speaker said it really fares well with higher end kit -- specifically, the amp. With what was it being amped?

It must depend on a lot of things -- what you're looking for in an amp, what headphones you drive, what source you use, how deaf you are -- because I've not heard a single RS amp that I liked, but my headphone of choice at the time was an AT W2002.

Just out of curiosity, why "392"? And on another note, yours looks exactly like mine -- fingerprints and all.

Damit, where's a thousand dollars or two when you need them?!?!?

Cool! Thanks for the link...

I've heard worse.

Did you see Fremer's review of that? He loved it. And the bass thing shouldn't be a problem with us headphone listeners (and decent speakers), or is it part of the RIAA curve? I am asking, not to egg you on, nor to contradict you, but because I am genuinely curious/seeking more education.

Nnoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!1! You'reYour presistent illogic prevails, I'm melting, I'm melting... It's "urine", as in "urine a heap o' trouble, boy". And we should probably stop pooflingingthreadcrapping.

I do not eat your own poo! Despite your constant flinging of it at me, you...you...dirty monkey boy!

I'm guessing he's about to eat a booger he just picked.

Off the top of my head, of what I've heard: Singlepower SDS-XLR Singlepower SDS Singlepower Supra Singlepower Maestro Headroom "Blockhead" (Max Balanced) Headroom Max Headamp Gilmore Reference Headamp Gilmore Balanced Reference Cary 300SEI Cary SLI80 also-rans: Wheatfield HA-2 AudioValve RKV Earmax Pro E.A.R./Yoshino HP4 I listen to this one the most, despite having access (or having had access) to one or more of the above: Radii HAP-02 Completely under-rated, simple little design: Creek OBH-12SE MJG is a liar and a dirty monkey. He should refrain from drinking and posting. And he keeps using "your" when he should be using "you're". Annoys the impotence into me. My banned, indeed.

That's what I like to hear!

So I went to the Apple trailers site, and it said I needed QuickTime v. 7 to view the Simpsons movie teaser. So I went to download it, and it's called "iTunesSetup.exe" -- WTF? Have they merged the two softwares? Is this like RealPlayah? I really like just having the media player, I don't need iTunes' other carp. So I guess the real question is, has anyone else installed this, and if so, can I still just watch vid clips like on the trailers site with it? Or if I click on the wrong thing, am I going to accidentally buy some MP3's...or somesuch whatnot...?

Whaddya mean, pirate?
