So that's a jackfruit ghost, right? No, that's a transvestite.

Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom...

I get up at 7, yeah, ...and I go to work at 9. I got no time for livin', I'm workin' all the time. I get home at five o'clock And I take myself out a nice, cold beer Always seem to be wonderin' Why there's nothin' goin' down here. Seems to me I could live my life much better than I think I am. I guess I'm a workin' man.

Where is the "still don't care" option?

Maybe that power supply was recalled. Return it. You could probably buy a scanner for cheaper than a new power supply.

Pfff -- pictures now or ban.

Yeah, that's one of my favorites by him. It just gets better and better until the end, and then it's just over.

Read it and weep

Computer make & model?

I think I know what your problem is -- are you using 'Windows'? No, seriously...what was the sound source before you put in the graphics card. The manual's not on here is it? Is it this one? Figures it'd have a pretty girl on the cover.

(puts out a contract on deepak's life)

Well, just based on the pictures, it's got that copper box which is probably acting as a mini Farraday cage. So...extra shiny.

This is Tyll we're talking about -- of course. Team 'Hawaiian shirt or nothing'.

Well...it would make sense...

They were supposed to go on preorder...and supposed to...and supposed to...and then last week I got sick, and stopped checking...and then I remembered today, and it was finally up on the 4ad.com site, but listed as out of stock, and I have no idea if this is how they appeared, or if they were in stock for a day. Considering there were only 1500 copies (of the box set, that is -- not the individual SACD's), it wouldn't surprise me if they all got snarfed.

So did anyone nab a copy? Looks like they're out of stock already, damnit.

Oh. Well, never mind then.

Quite simply, because it's all about synergy. The headphone/amp interaction will affect the sound more than your hearing, in cases. Here's something you can probably try -- connect it to a speaker amp. Any speaker amp, even BPC, will probably sound better than trying to drive it out of a dinky headphone amp.

I find it ironic that the Big Joe's logo is the silhouette of a troll. Seriously -- I've heard some of the Firestone gear -- it's 'meh', nothing special, not terribly bad, not terribly good. Something along the lines of the Creek OBH-11.

Okay, there's the problem right there. No-one's going to take your word for anything, because although you may have tried those headphones, you haven't really given them a chance. Yes, it is you can be having popcorn time.

FTFY.

This week's deal: Cavalry 1TB external, eSata, $175

I think my housemate would disagree. I have over one washerload of black Gold Toe Hamiltons (my everyday business casual socks). Think about that -- I have more than I could ever squeeze into the washer at one time. And no, that's not what I got this time. I got some Gold Toe fuzzies.

The place where you plug-in LAME in EAC should be configurable to take anything, as long as there's a way to do it with a command line.
