Capital Audiofest 2010
The Fibonacci's stole the show for me. It's a single ribbon, acoustic suspension, so they had them practically flat up against the wall, and I was hearing zero combing. No bloom (Salk), no bizarre etch-y like thing that wasn't etch (MBL, but I suspect it was room placement -- about 6 feet from a stone fireplace -- will probably visit United Audio for another demo, they were otherwise very good), not shouty...just...everything right. Wish they went lower than 80 Hz, he said it wasn't a gradual roll-off, but almost a brick-wall. Surround configuration, but I forgot to bring any of my own music. Intended to be in-wall. Never got to listen to the Berkeley Audio Design.

What are you listening to Part Two
Deaf Pedestrians, ...and Other Distractions -- catchy hard pop, with just a touch of Social D, but without the insolent sneer. Dig.

Using RCA and XLR outputs simultaneously on DAC (ECD-1)?
It depends on the output and input impedances of the respective connections on the three devices involved, and whether or not, as Nate says, they have separate output stages. So (as you're already doing), try it and find out. If you can't immediately tell the difference, then it's fine.

Post the last thing you bought!
As was mentioned in the "...drinking now" thread, it was probably the best of show of the night -- definitely try it. I think it's a winner.

Post what you're watching
So...not for the lesbian scene? Or for Bowie playing cello? I actually haven't seen it in a while, remember really liking it, will have to watch it again.

Watches
So far, so good. And I'm really not that good with my watches, but in the interest of full disclosure, I've only had it a couple months.

Canjam 2010.
Sometimes it's from the way we're built (sinuses, etc.). If you don't find sleep refreshing, then that's another symptom -- still doesn't mean you have it, but if it does, it's worth knowing, as things can be done about it. And yes, I'll be the first to admit because it's something in my life, I'm probably a little preoccupied about it, and may be a little paranoid about it in others. Anyway, you're an adult, do what you will.

Dude, that sounds like sleep apnea, you should probably get a sleep study.

Audeze LCD-2
I don't think it registered before that someone was using memory foam for their pads -- that sounds excellent.

Vicki...The only Queen at CanJam?
Can I ask you a really difficult question, Steve? Why didn't you come out at CanJam? Did you want to, but didn't, or was the plan all along not to, and you didn't feel comfortable until you had a chance to digest the events, or whut? EDIT: And, "I don't know" is a perfectly legitimate answer.
