Dusty Chalk

Was: My Antonia -- I liked it better from the bottle -- perhaps it needed just a little bit of time to calm down.

Alright, whoever turned me on to Loops of Zen is dead meat. I'm up to freakin' level 29, and I need it on an iPad...and an iPad.

Lang Lang -- mpi is a huge classical music fan. I've never slept with a bartender. And I have to say, I didn't get much sleep with the librarian, neither.

Oh, I was just being...you know, me, Mr. Headphone-cheerleader.

Headphones?

I've always enjoyed that album cover -- what kind of music is it?

Noise-cancelling headphones?

a^x -- you're asian, so people just assume you know Kung Fu.

There was? I missed it...

Aw, damn...but funneh.

The Joy Formidable, The Big Roar -- take one part Lush, one part Metric, one part theStart...and then fill the rest of the shaker with rawk. Shake vigorously. Gets epically tasty at about the 3:20 mark.

A beer named King Crimson.

Castle -- silly episode

16-bit DAC, but are you playing 16-bit soundfiles? Would the airport express pass the files bit perfect if asked? Ditto 44.1/48kHz.

Solid State Society

Yeah, why would that be a side-effect for you?

I think the best way to deal with bullying is scorpions and super-glue.

And again: Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, guys!

Sweet, thanks HiWire! PS I know what that dog is thinking.

(nods in homerific mesmerization)

What do you mean, "mostly"? I actually have quite a few watches with that general color scheme (white numerals, hands, on black face, with black case & band). And I especially like the carbon fiber. And the large case, yet with a lack of the huge canteen knob that the Russian divers have. Very nice. If I didn't have a moratorium on watch-buying, I might buy one, too.

How was that Chocolate Oatmeal Stout? Me: don't know yet, but about to drink something. Probably the Le Terribleah.

I don't really like the HD600, and don't find them particularly detailed. I'd sell them and get Sony MDR-V6's or MDR-7506's -- definitely the detail freak's friend. But yeah, if you insist on the amp and not the headphones (I can see why, the Senns are in the top 10 most comfortable headphones ever anywhere), they do scale well. A good amp and source will definitely bring things more to your liking. I have heard X-CAN sound very detailed, but it was with a Sony CD-3000, and I believe it was modded, but hell if I know what the mods were. Caps, I think. EDIT: Okay, confirmed, caps and opamps. He followed the recipe posted on head-fi for the v2. So, since you have the v1, I would look around for that; barring that, I'd use the recipe for the v2 as a loose guide (I.E. make equivalent changes), but if you don't understand what that means, I'd suggest going to Pinkie.
