Um...no? Isn't that utilitarian more than vain? Or do you actually like the way it looks?

Various artists, Spirit of Talk Talk -- goddamn, this is the best tribute compilation I've ever heard...but mostly if you love Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock -era Talk Talk. Moody, patient, atmospheric, jazzy, and above all, consistent. It works so well as an album.

Melted lounge chairs...Dali-esque pics please? Oh and: :eep:^2. That's closer than I imagined. Knowing how much wood you probably have around, you're taking this a lot more calmly than...well, than I am. Sent frum mah phone-blet using Tapatalk.

\m/ That reminds me, I need to download a lighter app for the next time they play a ballad at a concert I'm at.

Thirty feet?!?!? :eep:

Good to hear, I always thought it was quite elegant looking. In fact, I think when people say "gold on black", that's what I think of, and why I usually have a positive response.

How many are in the manufacturer's packaging? 6? 12? It'd probably behoove to just get the same number. That said -- good to know. I'll get my hard drives from MicroCenter from now on. Not that I am not hard on drives.

I find the easiest way to cut the cord is to stop caring about anything that is on television. I've got Community and Castle on Hulu, I miss Archer and...um...okay, just Archer, can't think of anything else I'm missing. Oh yeah, Parade's End. And yeah, I'll probably have to wait 'til 2015 to see stuff like Season 3 of Sherlock.

...and 2L and Wheatus. The problem is, DSD is good for recording and playback, but there's hardly anything else -- effects...mixing...Sony has been keeping such a tight reign on licensing that no-one wants to develop anything.

Nice. I think those HDAD's are under-rated. I only have a couple of them, alas.

Oh, is it on? Shit, here's to hoping I can find the first couple episodes... Spritzer did mention it, in response to something about Sherlock and Luther and something else someone else said -- Life on Mars, perhaps? No, something more recent.

I'm going to call mine "honeypot".

Enablers! The lot of you! Okay, yeah, me too. Lollers.

I'm not familiar with Virtual Box, but the solution with VMWare would be to recreate the VM -- that's not as bad as it sounds, just start up the VM creation process, and when you get to the part about a boot disk, instead of saying "create a new one", say "use an existing one", then select the one you have. VMWare is smart enough to just use it after that. The drivers are all virtual on the hosted OS, so it's only VMWare that needs access to the "new" (different) drivers, then the software does the translation. You may want to look and see if VB has the same sort of thing. Of course, I'd use a copy rather than the actual .VMDK file (it'll be the biggest one), just in case it erases it, thinking that's what you meant.

I think the regular II only does 44.1, whereas the II+ does...okay, no they both do 96kHz Sent frum mah phone-blet using Tapatalk.

Dagnabit, that must've come out after I bought the pro. I would have wanted both 192 kHz and the full sized XLR connectors. Sent frum mah phone-blet using Tapatalk.

You're welcome to give my HRT MusicStreamer Pro a spin. The only weakness it has is that the connectors are weird (mini-XLR) -- I have some, which I can also lend you. Oh, and USB-only.

I has a sad.

Well where do you think the overhead goes? Certainly not in Jobs' coffer. Too soon?

It took me a while to figure out that that first pic was one of the onion rings -- great googly moogly! Want. Please fax.

Yeah, definitely eschew a DJ table used for actual DJing if you're not going to use it for DJing. That said, most of the damage is going to be to the needle, I just wouldn't use that needle again. And the belt. Okay, maybe stick with 'eschew'.

Theologian, The Chasms of My Heart -- damnbient

Happy Birthday, Naaman! (party favour noise) May all your bacon be goatee-less!

Sorry, one more: sound-proofing is more the territory of home studios than it is home theaters, so I would look there. For example, you might want to dig through back issues of Sound on Sound magazine for a column they do regularly called "Studio SOS", which suggest a lot of cheap alternatives and solutions that work within weird requirements (like Spousal Acceptance Factor, working within a budget, or being stuck in one particular room). You can read the first couple and/or last couple paragraphs to tell if the entire column would have anything that would help you. Alright, two more (this being the second): sound leakage prevention isn't the exact same thing as sound-proofing -- you only have to worry about conduits to the rest of the house, rather than isolating the whole room. Which, in the basement's case, means mostly the ceiling.
