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

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.

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

Bingo. No matter what you do, you cannot remove the fanboyism from this overexaggerated and undeserving FOTM. There is no use trying to talk sense into them; the reviews are so obviously biased, it's ridiculous.
The Zhaolu FOTM is getting at my nerves. There are so many problems and lies with the Zhaolu (the $50 opamp upgrade, the clock upgrade that doesn't do jack, for example) that I'll be damned if I get mixed into it; after posting my Storm thread, I've gotten over 5 PMs of people asking me to do a comparison with the Zhaolu. Most noteably, a user with a similar name as Patb (differs in one letter) had the nerve to MSN me, ask me some details regarding the Storm, and then flatout saying the Zhaolu had better specs, better sound quality (
) than the Storm. WTF?The Lavry, DAC-1, and Esoteric do not deserve to even be in the same room as the Zhaolu, let alone be compo-reviewed.
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

I really like my slovakian hockey pucks

The best part of being a mets fan is we never need to concern ourselves with worrying about their record. It'll always suck, or we get lucky and have a good year. Never disappointed

My suggestion is to use the PM or email relay to ask them to email you
Then invite over email. -

So in 10 years you'll be able to buy them for $3k no prblem...

You probably won't be in college forever...

welcome welcome

I read what he wrote as saying the amp is balanced internally, and he generates a single ended signal to go to the headphone jack. That's why there isn't an rca option. If he was single ended internally, he'd have rca outs as well, at a minimum.

Yah, but the matrix sequels were brilliant, and 2 years ago...

Hey Everyone!

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...
