OneCall has some great prices, but they're so fucked up, I can't order from them. Because my primary billing address is a PO box for both CC and paypal, they can't ship to it.

Bunch o' fanboys.

"pew pew pew" is one of my favorite memes, ever.

Are the MSB Technologies power supplies the same also? Also Channel Island audio? Or is that a different one? If so, I have a MSB Technologies floor wart you can have for cheap.

$9.99! Yeah, I imagine that would make for some pretty pungent poop, wouldn't it?! Or maybe the parents wear the diapers...

Pfff. 2. I have a friend who went through...8, I think? He loves it that much that he was willing to endure replacement after replacement.

I want a hearse. I've said it before, but I'll say it again -- wouldn't it be cool to show up at a gig in a hearse? They even have that convenient treadmill/rollers setup for getting things in and out from the back.

I think you and I are going to have to stop reading this thread, or we're going to have to start a Dollhouse with spoilers thread so that I can not read it. This is going to be a show that people are going to stay on top of.

Those just got an order of magnitude more interesting.

Oh yeah, sure, blame it on my google fu. Fucking narcissist.

(googles 'poontang donkey') You sure about that?

Stupid question: what is this thing? It's not really a llama, is it? It's called something else, it's from anime, innit?

Parents appreciate a good Ramen deal when they see one!

You probably hate new year's, too, then.

De-emphasis -- the flag indicates that it was pre-emphasized, therefore needing countermeasures, I.E. de-emphasis.

Nong Shim Shin Noodle Ramyun, Gourmet Spicy Picante on Gold box only for the next 3 hours or so. EDIT: 100% claimed.

But I think in terms of explaining what it is, it's still useful. They describe the RIAA curve in wikipedia as another form of pre-emphasis.

Yeah, like I (almost) said, I think I didn't notice because I don't think I ever played one. So unlike HDCD, it's actually part of digital transmission specifications (well...at least S/PDIF), so unless one manipulates the signal destructively (I.E. forgets to pass on the pre-emphasis flag), it should work no matter what DAC one uses. Or unless the DAC doesn't interpret the pre-emphasis flag correctly/at all. In which case, it wouldn't matter, you'd need a different player anyway.

I am fortunate in that I have yet to notice. (I used to have a player that had a little idiot light that would light up whenever the disk was set with this on -- it never went on, as far as I noticed.) I suspect in my case it's because I listened to very little classical and/or jazz at the time. Actually, now that I think about it, I listen to more than I used to, it might be more of a problem now. I agree with Reks -- the best way to listen to them is to play them in a player that handles pre-emphasis correctly. What does EAC do? What does iTunes do? Hmmm...must investigate. I suspect it'll be like HDCD -- there's really nothing like the real thing. I'm sure there's a way to do it in software, and I wouldn't have a problem with it, except like HDCD, it'll probably be kludgy unless it's built in. (I know of no way to do with iTunes; and even with EAC, one has to manually decide when to turn it on or off, and I'm still not sure it'll be doing it right.)

Serrated?!?!?

Eez good choice, methinks. I covet.
