...or if he was lying, and preferred the Asgard.

Dude, they're great, I'm getting them as my primary speaker listening (4.1 system). (And that's based solely on having heard the 3.1, so technically, without hearing them.)

Pain of Salvation, Road Salt One -- I went through the album the other day, and starred the ones that I wanted to play for my friend Dave -- I ended up starring all of them...and then a few (the 4 from the Linoleum EP). Between the two disks, I skipped exactly three tracks -- the duplicate "Linoleum", the bonus track from the album "What She Means to Me", and the bonus track from the EP "Bonus Track B".

But can beer be improved by adding shaved almonds?

I would just like to disavow anything said by any white guy, anywhere.

No, that other one was actually painful to listen to.

I didn't realize it until I accidentally clicked on one on page 8. Which is why I mentioned it.

Nothing wrong with that. You could make a rule -- complain or nag, and you get bumped to the end of the line? But yeah, your way works well, too. It also keeps it at the hobbyist level (in terms of investment), so is probably the better approach. And like I said, take any advice from me with a grain of salt, I have zero good experience dealing with "customers".

That was funny until I realized those were all real quotes. You know, one day, we're going to look back on all this (politics, abuse of power) and laugh. Alas, that day is not today.

Thank you. Now: Sonny Rollins Vol. 2 on SACD through closed headphones (W3000's)

I think that's to whom Sherwood was referring.

Yes, but it isn't. I'm up on the 27th floor*, but they're playing loud enough that they sound like my neighbor has a boombox on. *The floors start at 6/7 (depending which side of the hill you're on -- 6 on my side), and they skip 13, so I'm really only about 20 stories up. Still...

raviolone in brodo -- a little too salty, but otherwise extremely good -- hits me in the same place as a good stroganoff

That fourth frame is win.

It works the same way in Windows.

Okay, now I'm behind the times. I'm going to go watch some porn in low-res, see if I can figure out what's going on. It'll be just like the matrix! Blonde, brunette, redhead...

Oh, shit, you had never heard electrostats before? Kinda wish Hirsch had fired up the Orpheus rig. EDIT: Oh, wait, you think he did -- the look like HD580/HD600/HD650's, essentially? Then yes, that was the Orpheus. If they were round, then they were O2's.

Well, if I may be the one nay-sayer, that one sentence seems to contradict everything else. But you know, whatever, do what you want, it's all good. I understand the whole "customers suck" attitude -- I've never lasted in retail for a reason -- but think of it like this -- if you were making this for one of your friends, you'd want to please your friends, right? (Oh, and this is not self-serving -- I do eventually want a pair some day, but I'd probably like them even if you made them entirely blonde.)

some crap band playing in the park outside my window at work...I think it's the same one from last week.

I miss French Toast (made well, that is -- I can have Denny's French Toast literally any time I want).

Okay, that didn't take long.

SHSH, you.
