Mu.

Unless your phone is also your DAP.

Oh, well, fuck it, then.

Why google talk? Why not just use the head-case chat function?

I just hope he hasn't submitted to toxic shock or whatnot.

2nded.

"...amount of challenge..." is kind of vague, I'm not sure I understand this contest, could you please explain further? And: I'm not looking for a prize, I just can't resist a challenge.

It wasn't this thread...

This is Russia. Freedom of speech hides behind single-point-of-failure king like sniveling castled rook.

Slurpee (wasn't sure whether to post it here or in the "What are you drinking?" thread).

This thread is making me hungry for spaghetti.

Yeah, everyone knows that Britta won't desalinify seawater.

I don't know that it's the same -- he's definitely worse now than he was several years ago. If nothing else, he still hasn't delivered several of those same amps.

Okay, I stand corrected.

The packaging mimics the original records as accurately as possible.

Actually, it's only $4 if you buy the whole "season", and thanks for the offer, but you're right, I'll probably just buy it through iTunes.

First of all, I hate the squeal. I find the headphones unlistenable for lengths of time for this reason alone. Secondly, I think Spritzer was implying that they did it to add midbass, not to fix the fart.

Well, it's like he rated the Black Gates highly in everything because everyone expects the Black Gates to be rated highly, so ruling them out (yes, because they are now discontinued), that pretty much leaves the Elna Silmic II at the top. Alone. Are they really that good? I guess I can't know without hearing equipment with them in it, myself. And yes, the whole point of this thread is because Black Gates are discontinued, so yes, I want alternate answers, and yes, sounds like I need to try Elna Silmic II's. I was just being disingenuous. As to what I want them for -- I don't know, to upgrade stuff -- my M-Audio Sonica, vintage receivers, that kind of thing. In vintage equipment, often the caps are dried out to varying degrees of dehydration ( or depetroleumation, or whatever), so it's probably a good idea to inspect and/or replace them all.

Dagnabit, I forgot to watch that while it was streaming...

I didn't watch it through to the end, did he make some kind of ouruborous reference at the end about the tape he was making going in to the library as soon as he was done filming?

I believe the terminology in LED jargon is "amber".

Can't seem to get the DVD to play, will have to try another player.

I think I just found my next avatar.

No, I think it was just to make it clear which caps were being talked about in a particular picture, since they were all mounted next to each other. And yeah, it sure seemed slanted towards the Elna Silmic II for 2nd place, wunnit?

The Lambda's are the boxes that angle the speakers towards the ears more like speakers, right? Yeah, you're right, that shouldn't instigate the "Stax squeak", there's no way there's that good a seal there, right? So what causes the Stax squeak again? I realize it's the seal, but what is the seal doing, because it sounds amplified...perhaps there's a different cause, but the same result that is happening?
