DAC Suggestions
840c? Good luck getting it for under a thousand, though. Oh, and before anyone else beats me to it: FOTMFOTMFOTMFOTMFOTM... More seriously, how about an Apogee Mini-DAC, if you don't want to go Mac?

Thanks for the impressions, more when you feel like it, please.

What did you do today?
You know, some guys joke that if they were given a pussy, they'd just spend the entire day stroking it all day and playing with it and petting it. I found out that it's true, as that's what I did. I llluvz mah llittol kitteh.

Walk score.
Yeah, but I bet your "swing from vine" score is even higher.

What kind of headphones are these?
Yeah, I saw that. At that price, not even tempted.

My brush with Scarlett Johansson's tatas...
Hey! That was a long time ago, and I was drunk.

It sounds like a mash-up...a not-good mash-up.

Allergies :(
I have allergies, and I have allergies pretty bad, but I've never had anything like this. My condolences. I would almost go so far as to say that that doesn't sound like a typical allergic reaction. Next time it happens, take pictures, and bring them with you to an allergist (or at least your general practitioner). It does sound like a reaction of some sort, just not necessarily an allergic reaction. (I got corrected on this about something similar by my allergist, recently.)

Wheatfield HA-2
I like my Wheatfield because it's a different "house sound" than the Singlepower; I think they complement each other nicely. Welcome to the Pete Millet fanclub.

The Live Music Thread
Symbol, Talk Normal, Beeping Sleauty, and Mikroknytes -- I missed Beeping Sleauty, but enjoyed everyone else. They ranged from no-wave to experimental improvisation. I dug.

Walk score.
38. Meh. I could survive here if I wanted to (and did, when I felt like it) -- a grocery store, pharmacy, and small collection of restaurants are right around the corner. No book stores, movies, concerts, or music stores, though, so I guess they're right. Especially if you're into pens.

Favorite Places you like to eat in your area and why
Alright, I went back to Pilin and had dessert there specifically because of this thread, and yes, the custard is served cold on warm rice. It was divine.

Your recent music purchases
Yeah, a friend of mine recently played that for me. I was (totally blissed out)^2. Second only to Just for a Day in terms of bliss factor. (Not really comparable, except for my reaction to both of them.)

slow forum
You know, I don't really have any problem with her not conceding, for two reasons. #1 -- it's the process, what's wrong with following the process? Instead of saying it's bad for the democratic party, one should point out that it's democracy in action. #2 -- what if what if what if. She's the first woman to ever run for that office, she's got a commitment to give it absolutely every chance to get in. Oh, well, it's all going to be a moot point, anyway. (MHO)

You do house calls? My TV is on the fritz, Fitz.

How to attenuate source so amp has more volume play??
Yeah, but ear plugs still color the sound -- quite a bit more than any interconnect or resistor will.

Sound Practices Magazine
Never heard of it, but sounds like something I'd be interested in. (wanders off to look up 'Sound Practices Magazine') You know you can buy it?

Power cable, DAC or AMP first?
I only mentioned it, because it's one of the higher amp draws. And yeah, my point was that it only had two prongs in a perfectly legal manner. Toaster ovens, too. In fact, other than my high-fi, music, and computer gear, I can't think of too much I have that has three prongs.
