Uh...slight detour -- Carbon Based Lifeforms just released VLA -- consisting of a single hour-long track. Ambient droney goodness.

Yeah, what it boils down to (fnar fnar) is what kind of taste one wants.
Me: got tired of having pasta arrabiata canceled everywhere I could find it, or having one place spice up some marinara with red pepper flakes -- bleargh -- so I made my own. It was delicious.
Earlier today I followed Jacob's advice of a longer stew time with more liquid and lower temperature, and the stew beef came out much more tender. I had also left it in a bath with more orange juice than previously.
Finished season two (of ^ ).
Started season two of Marvel's Agent Carter -- totally love this show. "Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?" -- Peggy taunting Stark with a (his) bloody Mary.
Galavant -- this might be the second greatest show ever (after Archer). Two episodes in a row had me laughing -- Giants vs. Dwarves and About Last Night.
Also humidity -- especially with electrostatics. I realize that might not be much of an issue where you are (Greenland? Iceland? Frozenshitholeland? No, wait, that last one's Canada...and maybe some parts of Minnesota and North Dakota), but here in the DC tri-state area...
You must be a physicist. Real world amp building is a catalog of compromises. Some cans have very demanding impedance profiles, and there are amps which are better suited to those types of cans.
And I echo Purk's statement. Although this may not be what he was trying to say, "wire with gain" sounds like the "accuracy" school of thought -- that is certainly not the only school of thought, and just because you don't fall in with these other schools does not mean amp builders won't still cater to them.
