My new vinyl setup
I had no idea what audiophile meant before about 1999/2000, as I only "listened to music" on my dad's monaural Heathkit and my Pioneer SX-450. So I was a HD414 man for a long time, and then a Sony MDR-V6/-7506 man from somewhere around 1990 on.

What are you listening to Part Two
Snarky response #1) The cover is the least of your problems... Snarky response #2) Have you heard the music? Snarky response #3) Hey, that's my mother you're talking about! Snarky response #4) ... ...actually, no, I better stop.

There's something wrong in Colorado...
Isn't that called "C.O.D."?

What did you do today?
I'm trying to figure out what the poor decision was -- got bukkake'd on? Or is that wax?

椎名 林檎, 加爾基 精液 栗ノ花 -- haven't listened to this in a while, but wasn't tired of it yet, just got busy with other things. It's still my favorite older discovery of last year.

Yeah, that image of the Kharma Grand Ceramique about half-way down is the one I was thinking of.

Looks like they mostly do alright, but those two negative feedbacks look concerning: linky

I've never been one to appreciate being politically correct.

Amazon == good. But I guess it depends on the merchant -- a lot of those are filled by other than Amazon. I presume you mean Rolex...

Rank Your Headphones
Well...you still have to compensate for the two (top-to-bottom, and the diameter one). Although, if one were to extrapolate from spheres, supposedly that's easier. Me personally, in my dreams (the ones in which I build a pair of speakers, not the desert island with a bunch of hotties one), I intend to use computer modeling to figure out some sort of random based one that has the fewest modes, sort of like the Kharma ...Ceramique? Was it? I remember seeing a picture of the insides in a review in Absolute Sound.

Prokofiev a la Berman -- pretty much all of them.

Yes. He picked a really awkward time to implement this policy, and it should be retroactively canceled for anyone who still has an outstanding amp that needs returning. Not a step in the right direction.

Cylindrical? Why? 2/3 of a sphere (in terms of complicatedness to tame, resonance-wise)?

Article on record sales doubling and CD sale dropping
People in Europe typically pay 2ce what we pay for CD's, simply because they care about music more.

What language is that?

Oh yeah, Population Override is a high point for him. Electric Tears is good, too, albeit entirely different. Big Eyeball in the Sky is probably the closest to Pop Override, sylistically.

Trying to get through this, but jesus christ does this suck. This might be the most technical wankiest shit I've ever heard. I mean, androgyny is interesting, but rarely musically useful.

Brave. Something else lined up, I hope?

Head-Caser of the year 2008
I have no idea what this means -- you have no say in the matter as to what the rest of us think of you.

I think he was just recommending the activity on general principle. Billy -- I keep trying, but it's hard.

Either Gai Pad Pak, or Gai Gra Tiem Phrik Tai (I forget which is which). Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom.
