Oh, c'mon, I like the DT880's. That said, yeah, why'd he pick the DT880's over the T1? Otherwise it mimics the list in Absolute Sound fairly closely. I mean, it's not like you're at short shrift of reasons to ban him. Best at what? Isolation? That would be Ety's. Over the ear isolation? Koss Pro 4a or DT770's. Best at home cinema style imaging? K1000's or those funny boxy Staxes that I can never remember which ones they are. Best at forgetting they're on? HD600's. Best all-rounder for under $100? MDR-7506's. Best at reminding you of what it's like to be between a schoolgirl's thighs? Anyway, you get the idea. I think it's a setup for some shilling. I'll be in my bunk.

I got nuthin' -- I like all their colours, including yes to the Olive, even though their "amethyst" is a little too bright for my tastes, I even like the Kelly green..I mean, "forest". And yeah, the Saffron does look pretty damn good in person. And the black looks pretty classic, too, as do some of the more subdued colors like charcoal and khaki. Basically, it's a no lose situation. Just pick one, damnit, and you'll probably like it. I'm not a blue person, but IIRC, you are, so I'd go Mariner if you are.

Dude, Al got to Apple last week, don't you know they can't sell 'em no more? Hurry up and get Apple Care. Sent from mah phone-blet via Tapatalk

Drobo 5N approx $100 off on NewEgg, Amazon not matching (...yet?).

Yeezh. And yes, that's exactly what I didn't realize, I appreciate you spelling that out for me. Sent from mah phone-blet via Tapatalk

Yeezh, dude, I didn't think you were supposed to get that kind of reaction from a vaccination...did you tell your doctor? Sent from mah phone-blet via Tapatalk

10 of those people are peeing right now. And one of them is groping someone.

Welcome to team source material first ueber alles.

I do. As a matter of fact, I should try them at work again. I'm back in the room with the ([relatively] noisy) server.

¿Que? I mean, I agree with everything else you said, especially the it's bright but I like it part, and sounds better with better ampd and such, I'm just not sure I agree with that one sentence as to why. Sent from mah phone-blet via Tapatalk

"...so it should be noted that 'scherzo' is the Italian word for 'joke'; Dvorak, then, is simply doing his duty..."

Dvorak's New World Symphony, with commentary by Jeremy Siepmann -- this is highly entertaining. Obviously done with great love of the music, but also kept "light": "The cor anglais, which is sometimes referred to as the English horn, is neither English nor a horn..." .

Happy Birthday, Ben! (party favour noise)

I find it's ugliness endearing.

Love the overhead shot, and lollers at "non-mechanical".

I didn't see any headphones in the pic. For that matter, I didn't see a camera, so I don't know what I was thinking.

Congrats, well done, etc.

Wait, I don't understand, I thought the GS1000 is a camera...

I can't decide if that's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen or the most ugly.

Damnit, they were in town today. Ah well... Me: Portugal. The Man, Evil Friends

Yeah, it's Ghost in the Shell. It's when they first find that the cyberbrain of someone's (someone important -- some minister or ambassador or something) translator or assistant was hacked into. I was just reminiscing how brilliant the movie was, because -- as is true to life on the part of the cops -- they don't get to see the actual crime being committed or even allude to it, they're brought in after the fact. I think it's time for me to watch it again. I watch it every couple years. I know, I'll make Mark watch it. I was always creeped out by the throbbing tube thingy. Was that really necessary?
