  1. You mean, the Ist day of the IVth month? No way!!!4!1!
  2. No, seriously.
  3. Practise? There's plenty of good ninja work around, I'm sure.
  4. Ah. That is sufficiently foreign a concept to me that I hadn't thought of it, but as soon as you said it, it makes sense. And, of course, I'll forget by next time.
  5. I don't think I'm needed, those jokes write themselves.
  6. I'm guessing you guys that like Billy maybe read Head-Fi or something? Because over here, he's only ever an asshat.
  7. Garden of Shadows, Quo Vadis, and Psycroptic, off YouTube ( ).
  8. Was sold out by the time I woke up (3am).
  9. Apogee have a great sense of humor -- knowing them, it's probably on purpose.
  10. Splitting should be fine depending on the impedances of the pre-outs, power-in, and sub-in (or headamp and powered monitors in the case of Hopstretch). Try it, worst you can get (in your specific case) is deteriorated sound.
  11. Incorrect -- the Maestro was designed as a preamp, and did well as one.
  12. Current gen? & Hurray!
  13. Of course I'm interested in hearing what someone like you (I.E. someone with a good ear) can do!
  14. Whoa. I just heard something I've never heard before: at 3:27 of "Why So Serious?" from the Dark Knight soundtrack, there are some bass throbs that are practically subterranean. I've got it set at 25% (-32db). Seems to be a good place (gain), plus it's a power of two, so the computer isn't taxed at doing the maths.
  15. When I said, "it's not even my house", what I meant to say was, "I don't want to listen to it, much less subject my headphones -- expensive or otherwise -- plus a house that's not even mine -- to the (admittedly unknown) dangers". I'm not worried about fires, I'm worried about the unknown. If I had more confidence in him as an engineer, then I wouldn't; but I don't, so I do.
  16. Well, (a) I was being snarky; ( attacking Singlepower at this point is like kicking a dead horse when it's down; © attacking Singlepower to throw off the attack of RSA is ... well, like beating a dead horse -- let's not compare oranges to apples that have fallen off the tree long enough ago to start to rot; (d) RSA has done nothing to reinstate my confidence in RSA -- fire, electrical, or otherwise. I didn't like the way he handled that, and I am particularly suspect when higher voltages are involved. I am merely stating my skepticism, which -- under the circumstances -- is apt.
  17. Pfff. Sorry, it's not even my house, I'm not willing to risk it.
  18. Jesus, MicroCenter blowing out older Mac Minis for $399.
  19. Widescreen edition.
  20. Isolation + exaggerated bass + easily obtainable + <US$200 == DT770 (comes in 80 ohm) AKG K271?
  21. Spinecar, Autophile -- indie metal
