Hurray, they slept together! Came across a dark furry blob last night that was too big to be either one of them individually, upon closer inspection, they were spooning. They still tussle, but I think I can stop worrying that one of them is going to "accidentally" kill the other. Also, Skye is up to 9 lbs., so Bobby is no longer 2ce her size (at 16 lbs.).

Are you talking small monitors or do you include the larger ones like the Spendor BC3/SP100? Serious question, I never understood what reviews meant by "baffle coloration", I may be deaf immune to it like so many other things.

Thanks, I may need that (Bobby needs to go on a diet, and they fight less when they're fed, so conflicting requirements).

Nothing wrong with a little real world porn, Jack. I love a good wood grain.

And now what did you do TODAY?
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.

Your favorite concerto CDs?
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.

- Does this count as DIY?
No, that wasn't at you, that was at OP and whole thread.- Does this count as DIY?
- The Headcase Stax thread
Yes, I agree, 'crinkly' >> 'farty'.- Deals
DT880 on MassDrop -- could go as low as US$240- The Headcase Stax thread
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.- Emotiva Pro Airmotiv powered speakers
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. - Does this count as DIY?
