NuForce Headphones - HD 800 Beware
Does not come in black == fail. They didn't even bother taking a picture of the silver ones, because they're so shiny, they probably reflect. No, seriously, I like Nuforce, and have high hopes for this headphone, but the bright colors are just ludicrous.

Didn't he already say he'd fly it out to you once?

Cary Xciter Integrated Headphone Amp
Yeah, they could have called them iGrado's or something. iCary? iXciter? Alright, maybe not, but it's a close call.

STAX: To charge or not to charge
But why would it repeat? One would think that once one got rid of the contradicting charge, that it would be gone. Unless it's a static parasitic charge that isn't so much "gotten rid of" as "sufficiently counter-balanced with the appropriate electrical charge"...that was supposed to be a question.

2008 Year-End Report Card
One more that is most probably going in my top X: Matt Elliott, Howling Songs -- disturbing, I didn't see this as the logical conclusion to Drinking Songs and Failing Songs, but there's something in there that just demands attention. No-one uses noise musically the way he does. Except maybe Portishead.

Brand new to Head Case....
Less visible entropy. And by that, I don't mean bullshit. It's probably got -- proportionately -- the same amount of bullshit as head-fi, if not more. The difference is, it's easier to see here, because there's less of it. There's also less wisdom, but that, too, is easier to see. Welcome to head-case, and duck a lot.

2008 Year-End Report Card
Okay, just to get me started: Portishead, 3 (or Third) -- still reigns supreme as likely being my number one album of the year. It's so bizarre, it's nothing like anything they've ever done before, but they've found a way to make the unlistenable not just listenable, but repeatedly, enjoyably listenable. Opeth, Watershed -- yup, as predicted, this is my favorite Opeth release, EVARR!!!1!(sparta) Kaki King, Dreaming of Revenge -- just really like, can't explain, don't want to.

What are you listening to Part Two
Okay, just making sure, he's like top 10 for me, right up there with Oldfield.

I've been sick all weekend, so nothing will be coming from this quarter any time soon.

I'll order those black tissues as soon as the Merkin dollar gains some strength on the yen. Or not. Do want, though.

Good call, Ian, better late than never, I'll start putting my thoughts together.

Got in and out of bed, that was pretty much it.

Ayre USB DAC
I do believe you meant that she was an intellectual property libation lawyer.

CD transports
"Error", is the short answer. Transports create square waves, yes, but to varying degrees of accuracy, both in height and width. Depending on the interpreting DAC, this can have minor differences in sound to catastrophic differences in sound (I've seen lock lost as a result of a poor transport).

Hurray! I mean, that's too bad. :|

Making a Silver APC Black
