Listening right now to Blue Man Group straight outta the iPod through ESW10's. Jesus, these sound good. I bet they don't scale for shit. So -- which ones seem to have variance from one to the next, that's the ESW9's, right, not these?

Blue Man Group, The Complex Duggeh -- another one you should investigate if you haven't heard it yet -- very much reminds me of QE2 -- start with Audio first, though.

Seagate 1TB for US$80 Cavalry 1TB with latex catsuit for US$90

Dell 3008WFP for only $40 than the refurb Damnit, I hope this is still on when my tax check comes in. This is exactly the sort of discount I have been waiting for.

If you have a cat, then don't even worry about it, its finish will be camouflaged by cat hair within a week.

Well, shit yeah, don't you?

[bernard black]Demand away...[/bernard black] PS I agree with Jacob -- start by not substituting anything, and try just adding green tea to the rotation. You want to live forever? I've got two words for you: fish oil. Also: vinegar, specifically the apple cider variety.

And for those of you (er...us) too lazy to track down a ...uh... advance copy, here's a legal streaming link of the entire album.

Uh...you know there's no such thing as "flawless". There's better and worse, but there's absolutely no such thing as flawless. You might listen to a system and think it's flawless, and it's probably pretty good, but you'll hear flaws in it eventually, if you listen to enough different musicks on it.

I'm not sure, there's some controversy regarding this. Green tea and black tea are the same thing, only the black tea is roasted/fermented/painted/whatever. So on the one hand, don't be fooled by the fact that it's green, but on the other, that's what I've been told. I.E. it's probably an oversimplification, and is more complex than that. To tell you the truth, it doesn't feel as caffeinated as even regular tea, I have no idea why. If I drink enough, late, it will keep me up. So I don't, but I can get away with a little. I'm not sure what your goals are, but if you want to cut down without giving up caffeine, it's the perfect solution. If you want that "jolt", look elsewhere. I would recommend the following: get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water, get some regular activity (exercise), start the day with protein, and don't forget to breathe. In other words, then you won't need the jolt.

Nah, I bought it after I watched it -- it's a keeper.

No, it should be fine for watching movies, but the screen's too small. For me. Me needem big horkin' screen.

Moar paint?

Damn, that came out today, didn't it? I need to hit the record store, there's that, and the new Steven Wilson... EDIT: AND the new God Forbid...and new Lamb of God...

Check out the DVD of Robert Rich's Somnium -- 1 seven hour long piece (unfortunately, cut into parts, so it may technically be shorter in pieces, but if heard as a whole in its entirety, it beats). And yes, the title is an indication of the music -- they were these special "sleepover" concerts...

Just had some really good cheap sushi with Dan. (Vicki -- I now have your ESW10's.)

But at least it's not a Seagate.

I would think the only downside was that it would be less powerful if you wanted to do anything else with it (like watching movies, etc.). I plan on getting something that I can (a) work on; ( watch movies on; and © play music on, so I'm probably going to get the huge MacBook Pro.

Hitachi 1TB for US$90 to go with your recently acquired Drobo or ThermalTake BlacX

You couldn't sleep, so you listened to Carcass? Alright...

Samich -- peppered turkey w/garlic mayo and sweet relish on grain bread.

I don't think of it as "less discerning", I think of it as "less exaggerating" (as in, the differences between the two). Some people want to glorify their own ability to hear, so that when there's a subtle difference, they say, "OMG, it's like night and day".

Those are gorgeous.

The AudioValve RKV is also auto-bias, IIRC.
