Yeah, I can see how that'd be the case. I do most of my listening in the near field, and (in your cases) it's could be the exact same amount of treble, but for some reason when it's diffuse (which even 10 feet will do), it's more tolerable.

That made me laugh inordinately hard.

I'm a gonna listen to it on streaming...

's'truth -- I have a friend who's no longer a diabetic because she got a pancreas transplant. And: what everyone else has said -- kudos for doing documentably positive work. Makes my eyes well up.

If it's just a slight uptip in the treble, won't you consider just a smidge of EQ?

Do I look like I give a flying fuck about wine? Does this penis look like it gives a flying fuck...okay, that's probably the wrong way to phrase that question...

Or climb up the cell tower and monkey with it yourself some. I'd actually call the carrier.

I just ate entire thing of strawberries. So...alphabet soup then?

"Child of Vision" is a great song (I love songs like that, that are >50% instrumental -- also, "Crime of the Century", title track), but too bad it follows those two (relative) clunkers, "Just Another Nervous Wreck" and "Casual Conversations". Sorry. I think it's that lull at the end of side two that takes this album out of any kind of Top X list for me. Crime of the Century and Even in the Questest Moments... are much better albums. And "Rudy", a live version on the bonus disk, is such a great song. I think it might be their best song. So epic, with all those parts...

This show is the best. I can't even type that without breaking into such a fit of giggles that my eyes water. And Jeff's right -- Isla Fisher is hawt.

[siri voice]I'm sorry, was that a question?[/siri]

She looks cold. Or aroused. Dude, I know what 'aroused' looks like -- she's cold. What are you saying, that I don't know what 'aroused' looks like? No, I'm saying you watch so much porn, and they make nipples erect with ice cubes, that you wouldn't know the difference. Dude, fuck you. Seriously. Also, she's standing in a natural body of water. Yeah, natural body alright. (snickers) (snickers)

Negotiated the price for my next vehicle, which I will be purchasing on Saturday -- $3.50 and a cookie. Seriously. Will post pics if I can. A question for legal -- what's the monetary equivalent of a cookie? Virginia doesn't have a space for non-monetary values, so they're going to want to know cash equivalent value. I get $0.20 based on a "typical" Pepperidge Farms container of cookies -- three buckets of approximately 5 cookies each for $3 -- ye?

Well because of MOA East. And because MOA Proper sounds funny. And ackshully, now that I think about it, "MOAE" sounds a little too much like "meowy"...

Timeline Symmetry and Telluric Manifesto are available on Spotify.

I think we need to call it MOAW4 now.

Good call, great album! Doing similarly (Breakfast in America deluxe edition on Spotify, doubt it sounds as good as MFSL)....

I was thinking that, they do kinda look like backwards HD800's...also, moar blak, so obbvussly betr.

Yeah I was going to say I liked everything I've heard by them, but the cheapest thing I've heard by them was their headphones -- and honestly, it didn't strike my pewter ears as that much less bad than the AKG K550's. So I may have only heard their higher end stuff. I still may try it unless I hear a convincing argument not to.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_2vDOIOCYg This is ackshully very close to Bobby's and mine relationship, except I'd probably be bleeding after the spinny part. He's alright with the slipper impersonation part, though. Ackshully, I don't think I've ever tried 'spinny'... (wanders off)

ah need to hear that Me: Wire, lots and lots of wire -- middle period -- late pre-breakup...I think, this sounds pretty techo, ackshully

Wait, you think he's a dreamer but not aardvark? I mean, we hardly get lossless, and he's already going up to 4K. Yeah, I'm with the others who said they'd settle for unthrottled.

I'm probably going to dig it exactly as much as I expect to, from what I heard of the one track. Ozzy's lyrics weren't the best, but Tony is in top form.

What is science? An empirical study to determine the truth A gob of spit in the eye of god Even more of a religion than your thing All of the above

I stumbled upon a couple links of places that sell DSD files, not sure which have been posted before, so I'll just post all three again if anyone's interested. DSDfile Blue Coast E-Onkyo (anyone read Japanese well enough to tell us exactly what to click?) I bet you're exactly right. I mean, all the DAC manufacturers (in this case DSD DAC manufacturers) pride themselves on their own way of filtering out the ultrasonic noise (amongst everything else), and that's an art. I bet "find out experimentally" is exactly what he did, and the answer is, "it is audible", and that's why he'll never put it up for sale. I had forgotten about that, thanks for reminding me. And by the way, I completely understand and agree with your point about complexity -- there's a difference between complexity and necessary elements of a design. As an unrelated example, I think most people don't understand how oversampling actually works, and that they usually introduce zeros in the data between the actual data and use filters to fill in the signal between the points. (I know I used to. :$ )
