I'm wondering if there's a way that you can shield one from the other. Ground a sheet of tin foil between the two? EDIT: Colin beat me to another point that I just thought of -- well, maybe I had the thought because I read Colin's post...but yeah -- inverse square law comes to mind.

Really tempted to get the Anchor seasonal brew "Magnum" (silly big bottle -- looks like a prop on the set of the New Year's Eve countdown on television).

I'm just trying to be...what's the opposite of "enabling" -- "...disabling"? "...disenabling"? "...disarming"?

He looks cold. Also, oddly reminiscent of a certain Gary Numan album cover (Berserker).

No, it's having thousands of dollars invested in DACses preventing you from buying something else you want that's a problem.

Incorrect. You only need one good one (per setup, that is).

Those tubes are huge! Looks like an exclamation point at the end, too.

How many DACses do you really need?

Katatonia, Night is the New Day -- "Ashen" is fucking epic, and my iPod got stuck on repeat on that track yesterday, so I really need to hear it now again today right now.

Several RCALSSACD's; Dark Knight and Watchmen on Blu-Ray, and the IceDozer Plus Ergonomic Ice Scraper All for me

Jean-Michel Jarre, Musique pour Supermarch

^ Win. Mine: "eye-wateringly good".

Also, the integration sucks.

Yeah, but then you're still running Windows -- just within a VM.

Buffy box, hunnert bucks

Which is funny, because the link on my computer says that they're in stock. Not to take any "business" away from Nugget Audio, but he really should be concentrating on the Big Menace.

Star Wars geek!

Don't make me go to fucking facebook -- I hate facebook.

Yeah, I actually have quite a few of those (all but one or two of the Hafler Trio disks, Jack Dangers, Coil, Bass Communion, etc.) -- definitely on the experimental side of things. There's some great ambient stuff there, though, if you're into that. I actually considered collecting them, I liked them so much, but when I looked them up, found about 90% of what I didn't have was out of print, so said, "fuck it". Might have to start following them again, starting with this sale.

You ought also like Opeth. Try Blackwater Park. But you are starting with the cream of the crop -- Gojira is a recent fave, and my friend Dave (the one you met) likes Meshuggah a lot, and tends to reject mediocrity.

No, it definitely looks more compressed than any of the other three, but I see what you mean about the shape of the first one. As to what the intentions are of the original artists, I don't know. The middle two -- especially 1993 -- look more dynamic. Follow, for example, the largish (loudish) lump in the middle of the song.

You so random.

Not likely, I get the impression he actually designs these things. The UE11 (from his former company) already had dual subwoofer drivers, so the fact that his new company is picking up where his old company left off tells me that it's him.

Bananas, tea, orange juice, eclair, cat food.

Pardon my contrarianism, but that doesn't look so bad, especially the first three. "Louder" isn't necessarily worse, especially if it's the exact same signal, only less attenuated. The way I would spin this is, "they more fully utilize all 16 bits of bit depth". "2000" is beginning to get visibly compressed, but I have no idea based on the images whether or not the other three are fundamentally different, other than overall amplitude.
