ok, I'll move your post back to the fs thread

Of course it's against paypal's TOS, it encourages people to use something other than paypal. Who cares. If you don't want to buy something at the given price, offer them what you'll pay them.

So people who like R10 bass are people who are bass averse

I'm definitely tempted by the stax 003 after gilmore finishes his portable stax amp

Except that people who have looked at the 2.0 design have suggested that it probably won't sound better than the current one...

Yes, but I've never met mike in person...

slacker, you really do come across as being very intense...

It's always beer:30

A belgian trippel isn't a triple bock, at all.

I have had several real belgian wild lambics, and they're really not my thing at all. My taste in belgians tends more towards trippels and wits. But I'm not competent enough to brew a good trippel, and wits aren't winter beers...

Lambics are hard if you don't have a brewery available...(lambics use wild yeast)

showers

Send me the recipe, and I'll brew a batch of headfi beer and have a virtual beer with you guys...

As an alternative to those two choices: pricejapan.com can get the cec da53 for $685, and it's a great dac. Plus no risk that the dc offset will eat your headphones.

I honestly don't get why anyone cares if they have ops, or what morph thinks. Until he kicks us off, why change? Does having an @ by your name matter that much to you?

He just really likes what he likes, I really doubt he has a dog in the race, unlike what has been speculated with the good doctor.

Ah, but there aren't whole forums devoted to helping goredwings...

isn't there a whole website devoted to that?

you must have mistaken which website you were on dark

How is that hard? It's simple to maintain a channel without a nickserv or chanserv.

Already a member, so far he just lurks.

my vote is efnet, that's the standard network, i'm already on there otherwise. We can call it #headcase

I thought the zhalou was pretty good. I was a little disturbed by the DC offset. I never did hear the balanced outs. It sounded better than a $200 dac has a right to. It probably is better than the DAC1, tho I never compared them. It probbaly isn't better than the CEC DA53, tho I never compared them...it's not bad. With a discrete headphone amp, it's an unbelievable bargain, especially if you don't have dc offset issues. It probably does deserve to be compared to stratospheric dacs, but not by fanboys.

You prefer the lavry to the esoteric?

Yes. Finnish pucks don't exist. All real hockey pucks are made in slovakia
