If my understanding is correct (please feel free to inform me otherwise), it's based on standing waves, so is probably good for depth of frequency and magnitude, but not on agility and speed, so probably better for home theat(e)r(e) (which is the less pretentious way of spelling it? I can no longer tell) than for music.

Yeah, for the record, he wasn't talking about separate headphones, he was talking about a headphone/amp set. And yes, I believe transformers touched into the discussion, which is what triggered my volunteering of links.

Wut? I'm going to have to disagree with you, there. I distinctly remember telling Justin, "you've really outdone yourself", and I was specifically referring to the BHSE, and in my head, I was thinking, with reference to the BH.

When I communicated with RAAL about their prototype, I got this in response: I'm not sure if that extrapolates to all ribbons, though.

Especially in the field. Or so I've read, I've never done it myself.

You were too subtle.

I was in a meat place earlier today, and I overheard the following conversation: "I thought you were a vegetarian." (beat) "I am, I'm an indirect vegetarian." (at this point, I laughed, the latter speaker caught my eye and smiled, while speaking to the former speaker, who must have apparently had a quizzical expression on his face) "I eat things that eat vegetables, being the implication." I'm going to have to use that from now on. I'm an indirect vegetarian.

This...is not my boomstick. Please take notes, there will be a quiz later. Boomstick...not boomstick...boomstick... not boomstick...

Hell no, I'm pretty sure Abby was suggesting a threesome.

And...? Me, this, now, all 3.

Is that a zed-naught-six? What are you, insane?!?!?

No, I've seen a lot of rabid fanboyism about speakers, too. Usually dynamic, though.

There's a tear welling up in my eye from that dialog.

I'm a 'maybe'.

They're supposed to be TEH AWSUM, though I've never heard them myself. Quite a few of those who've tried it don't go back to anything else, they spend the rest of their time upgrading their amps. So although I would say the fanboyism is raving mad, I wouldn't say they were rabid, as they don't spend a lot of energy waxing eloquent about how much they like their speakers. I suspect this is because they are too busy actually listening to their speakers.

If it's any consolation, that's one of the few beers I've preferred out of the bottle. And I only had it once on tap, though I went out of my way to do so.

congrats! Yeah, end of something that took that much of your life is always going to be followed by a severe anticlimax/period of boredom/wondering what to do with yourself period. It'll pass.

Yeezh. Hang on to something, guys.

That was going to be my next guess.
