Sandy say, "Fuck you New York just fuck you. When I'm through with you, you'll have one name, you hear me? ONE NAME!"

No, don't worry about it, I just thought it was funny that it worked out to be exactly a headphone cable -- I just ordered a pair from B&H (well, I went with XLR instead of 1/4", but 1/4" was one of the options). It's intended use is going to be completely different -- the part that plugs into the headphone is going to plug, instead, into one channel of the DAC, and the other side is going to plug into one of the stereo pair of monitors.

I'm not sure it's ridiculous -- isn't the crossover built into the JH3A's DSP program? I.E. won't it sound wrong without the JH3A?

What Gallo speakers? I missed that somewhere along the line. You say 'mount', so...Stradas?

Saaaaandeeeeee!! (raises fists at heavens)

I fail at math.

So the mini has fewer pixels than the iTouch?

Good luck, Jacob!

Also, impedance matching with whatever's next downstream (presumably the amp). Might I also throw HRT Music Streamer + on the pile? Sounded really refined and straightforward with plenty of separation (which are the ingredients to a good soundstage).

Damnit, that's not what I thought it was...

I have a kimono just like that one on the side. I start my day the ToeTunes way. Extra bonus! -- they double as faux-burns. I wonder if those are Lowtherses...

Wait, can one be knowingly genuinely ironic? I know it's technically possible, but it sounds oxymoronic.

They don't go loud well at all -- sound terrible when distorting. But other than that, yes, am extremely happy with them. So with the qualification that you're not trying to overcome a noisy environment (which is what I was doing -- server has a damn noisy fan), they should be fine. Within their limits, they're wonderful little speakers. You want one? I have no need for two, I gave up on that. Also, if you want to borrow one, just to see if they can handle Epica, you're welcome to do that, too. (They really don't handle busy music well, either, but that was not rarely the point, while at work. You're welcome to decide for yourself -- they were not that bad on busy music softly as they were on any music loudly.) The form factor is pure win. HpA -- yes, what I'm basically looking for is a femme-mini-XLR-to- either male-XLR or -to-male-TRS, but the point was to see if I could find a local dealer that would actually have something in stock, like an AKG dealer. Heck, I have several AKG headphones, I might even have something at home. Also, it's 3-pin mini-XLR, not 4-pin. The local Rat Shack and Guitar Center didn't seem to have anything (based on online), and I'd rather not get an adapter (weight on the connector). So if I don't find anything locally, I'll order something from B&H Photo or Markertek or something.

Well that's weird -- the HRT Music Streamer Pro has mini-XLR connectors, not TRS connectors like they looked like when I wasn't looking carefully enough. The Equators have both TRS and XLR inputs, so basically I want an AKG replacement headphone cable.

There's something terribly wrong about Comedienne, and no, it's not the very real-looking shotgun...

You mean, besides alcohol poisoning? I see no down side.

It's someone sitting in a chair looking for a contact lens but too lazy to fully get out of the chair. Seriously: find someone like aardvark to just add some 3-dimensionality or some shading to the current logo and play with the aspect ratio and/or line thickness and done. Contests are for people who enjoy losing more than they enjoy winning.

Try swapping the headphones back and forth, it might just be the nature of the headphones, in which case the solution is to sell the headphones.

Seeing Camille live was one of the greatest concert experiences of my life, and I've been to a lot of concerts. I haven't watched this yet, but I suspect we have very different tastes in concerts. I also suspect she changed a lot in the last couple years (since I saw her), so will allow that this might be horrible. I know what I'm spending two hours on this evening. And yeah, I only got as far as the end of "Judges" (was that the first song?) on Colin Stetson, but I love a guy who's not afraid to push limits. Will have to watch the rest of that, too.

Sorry to hear about your cat, Ken. Wishing you a peaceful next couple several months with him.

Lollers. Reddit has a snark or two on it. EDIT: OMG, this is the best thread ever. Also, someone posted a link to this, I'm crying now:
