  1. Can we move the rack talk to the rack thread, please?
  2. Boris Berman, Prokofiev: inComplete Piano Music (Tidal has: Vols. 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, and the sonatas, which might be vols. 2 & 3, but I'm not sure)
  3. I doubt there'd be a problem with solid wood legs. You'd want to treat them, though, and of course as always I recommend three legs over four, one thing you don't ever want in a speaker stand is that four-legs-not-the-same-length wobble. Unless you have just one nice stout piece, then just one would probably be fine.
  4. Lollers, when I saw that on Facebook on my phone, I thought it was French toast with a generous sprinkling of cinnamon.
  5. This Will Destroy You, Another Language
  6. Which ones, these? You realize they're only 12 inches? (Look at the dimensions of the tubes.) I think you want something more like 29-36 inches. Unless you want them for desktop, then they'll be too high. I used to have a pair of speakers that only needed about 12 inches of boost once, but they were short floorstanders and I was using them as surrounds and they needed to reach over the couch. Other than that, I can't think of a circumstance where I'd want 12 inch stands. Well, maybe something like a Spendor S100 or something like samich's. Maybe. Well...alright, also if it was a center channel. But that's it, no more. Don't forget Guitar Center, if you have one near you, you can see what they have, first. Those DR Pros look nice. I have these fab ones that I got there decades ago, and they're still going strong. I need to work to keep them from ringing (they're all metal), but they're better than the crap I got from Audio Advisor. I also have these great little ones that I got from Best Buy, but they were a brand called Target, I think, and I don't see them any more. Metal top and base plates, 3 wooden legs. Sturdy as fuck. Also still going strong.
  7. Lollers. EDIT: Or, more correctly:
  8. Fish and chips...except no chips...and a McDonald's patty bun instead...alright, it's really a Filet-o-Fish sandwich.
  9. Antemasque -- rock! (Omar & Cedric [ex-At the Drive-In/Mars Volta] + Flea + Dave Elitch)
  10. "We're not even going to pretend we're not assholes."
  11. Maybe 'Haratio' is a reboot/reincarnation? Aye keed, aye keed... Losing interest in Gotham, turning into the same old/same old, contrived situations and contrived solutions. Will still watch it, if for nothing else, just to see Barbara and Gordon get married. One of the cool things about reboots is seeing how they play relationships -- they've already introduced the Penguin and Riddler characters, but they're not supervillains yet, one of them even works for the police. So knowing how things turn out, I can't help but be curious where they are going with this.
  12. Esotar2, and yes, they are still as delightful as always. (My speakers are the Special Twenty-Fives, but they're not exactly efficient..."power hungry" comes to mind, which is why I drive them with a Musical Fidelity A300^CR.)
  13. There's your problem right there.
  14. That was seriously fucked up. More like this. And what do they mean, "watch full episodes here ".
  15. Orgel Sound J-Pop: Musical Box Renditions of Shiina Ringo, vols. 1 & 2...on Tidal lossless. Dang those wee tines sounds so clear!
  16. Me too, then going to go and listen to the bonus disk of Wish You Were Here Experience Edition.
  17. Happy birthday, Chris! (party favour noise)
  18. Happy birthday, Mikey! (party favour noise)
  19. Sucks, Dan, but hopefully you caught it in time. Congrats to fencing boy. Sucks about the glasses, Chris.
  20. Did you check under the couch?
  21. I would still get the i7, just because I am a computer whore. Also, depending on what you're writing in (Mathematica?), there might still be some multithreading utilization. Also, unless you stop using the computer, the OS will multitask the other programs.
