Dusty Chalk

I don't have a keyboard amp handy, so I plugged my Prophet 6 into my PRS MDT and made some noise. I have a stupid grin stuck on my face.

They seem to be running cables, though. Solar powered?

I've had these for a couple weeks now, and have only got several dozen hours in so far, but I really like these MDR-Z7's. Without saying which is better, I'd say it's tonally closer to the R10 than the CD3000. I've been using them exclusively out of the NuForce, and I don't hear the bass bloat that purk talks about (it's not prominent, anyway -- it is slightly more bloated than the R10s [from memory], but certainly not PS1/Leatherhead/DT770 territory). They're fairly straightforward, and epitomize the boring sound that I appreciate so much ("if they sound boring to you, listen to more interesting music"). I certainly like them (from memory) better than the Focal Spirit Pros and the Shures (which both strike me as more diffuse), and do not yet have the Oppos to compare them too. They're not as good as the VTGs or the Leatherheads (which both strike me as less diffuse). They seal really well -- the earpad practically has my ear cut out of it perfectly, like they took an impression (when?!?!?). So these have become my new work phones.

And now for an abrupt change of pace (after iamthemorning):

iamthemorning, live from Moscow

...played with both gods and men...

RIP to both of them. (Sorry, don't know of a similar homage to Ornette -- someone more studied in jazz can...)

My friend who got one likens it to a water heater. He has since gotten divorced. He still has the subwoofer. (He only got the one.)

Paraphrase: I think I told you that there weren't any more Living Stereo SACDs other than those batches that show up as Living Stereo on sa-cd.net, but if, for example, you search on Reiner, you'll see a lot of the Analogue Productions versions. I don't off-hand see an easy way to search on a definitive list of the Analogue Productions/Living Stereo releases -- they have forums, perhaps ask there.

Carbon Based Lifeforms, Twentythree Wait, so there is another batch of Living Stereo SACD's? (wanders off, looks it up, returns) Wait, so Analogue Productions is remastering previously-mastered-for-SACD Living Stereo releases, as well as ones that haven't been? Okay, disregard what I told you earlier, I didn't know that.

I heard them there es-vee-es subs are pretty darn good, so I got two.

See, this is why you don't encourage 'em -- there are some people who want to exchange some actual information about Stax products, and they have to wade through this verbal chaff. Please, go selfstroke your ego somewhere else.

New Muse, Drones

Condolences. Well said. Eventual cheers.

FFS == Franz Ferdinand x Sparks == catchiness ^ 2

Lollers @ "slightly windy"

Love Calexico, thanks for reminding me, gotta check with my sister, see if I'm seeing them alone or not.

FFS, new Franz Ferdinand/Sparks collaboration, named FFS -- NPR First Listen link.

Lollers -- "...it's either this one that I can never have...or this one that I can never have..." Story of my life. I'm talking about girls -- the mics are the girls.

Well at least it wasn't Graim -- dotting the 'i' would be difficult.

I need to centralize mah music. Need DSd and higHRES comatability. What is the current shortlist? Plex? Airplay? Preferences for linux compatible, and/or FireStick/Android app compatible.

I am totally addicted to Lost Girl, and apparently it's on Netflix, so paying for season one on Amazon Prime was just flushing Benjamins.
