  1. I was just talking about this (home fermenting, not the campaign) with my sister, yesterday. In.
  2. Lamb's upcoming Backspace Unwind
  3. Give me a chance to put it on Spotify...
  4. Thanks, I may need that (Bobby needs to go on a diet, and they fight less when they're fed, so conflicting requirements).
  5. Nothing wrong with a little real world porn, Jack. I love a good wood grain.
  6. Yeah, I wasn't giving him a hard time from the higher road, that's for sure, it was more of a "do what I say, not what I do" kind of thing.
  7. New price on massdrop is US$1.3K, possibly as low as 1.2 -- I still want to hear them.
  8. Katatonia, Last Fair Day Gone Night (link is to ultimate pack pictured last, you can find the first two)
  9. Well played. Oh, and: yes?
  10. Going to listen to all the <Mike Oldfield> on two pianoses: etc.
  11. Synthesizer cover of Hergest Ridge
  12. Any chest pain/discomfort? You're probably having a heart attack, yeah, it can wait 'til morning.
  13. My favourite living violinist (and not just 'cause she's cute -- I know I like her music because I've taken a chance on stuff I don't like otherwise (don't usually like Mozart anything), but I almost always like anything she does). Ditto Helene Grimaud And probably my single favourite memory of my mother was going to see Andre Watts play Saint-Saens' 2nd...from the choir pit (behind the stage), it's still my favourite rendition of this piece. And the Tchaikovsky's not bad, neither. Oh, and I wouldn't mind hearing thoughts on the best Mendelssohn/Bruch violin concerto pairing, I don't have favorite renditions, but I love both pieces.
  14. Dude, that would bug the shit out of me. I feel your pain.
  15. No, that wasn't at you, that was at OP and whole thread.
  16. Yes, I agree, 'crinkly' >> 'farty'.
  17. DT880 on MassDrop -- could go as low as US$240
  18. The fart, even though caused by a practically hermetic seal around the ears, manifests in the driver. But I wouldn't call it scratchy -- it really does sound like a fart -- so is it farty or scratchy? How to determine if it's the fart -- stick a straw or a finger or somehow else make sure there is a breathing hole between ear and outside world, then move head around. (In other words, somehow break the seal.) if it stops, then it's the fart.
  19. Maybe, I don't know. And I do see a system gain, but it looks unwieldy if you change it often. (I.E. same as Quads and Mackies. And I have no idea where the gain stage that you're attenuating is.) I do see an aux-in, but I think you're instincts regarding paying for the DAC that you're not using as money wasted may be right. They do seem nicely sized for your purposes though.
  20. I wish. I actually scolded her for taking time out to look at kitty pictures on Facebook. ( @ self ) I think I read somewhere that she has the next 3 books of October Daye done in her head, she just needs to get them down.
  21. I've thought about them. I don't think they were $600 at the time, though, I remember them being $800+, so got over-ruled by the Dynaudios. At $600, they're a lot more competitive. Look at this. I say, "Dew et". EDIT: No, I remember, I was looking at them as totable, I ended up getting the Equators instead. I'd be curious to compare the two.
  22. Just finished a Mira Grant mininovella -- The Day the Dead Came to Show and Tell. Brutal as some of her worst.
