You guys have the best meets. It really does look like a (slightly) mini CanJam, almost as big as that mini-mega-LA meet.

Well it is not a universal. Peter is now five and we have managed to avoid both the Wiggles and Barney. I can live with Little Einsteins and the Imagination Movers.

One pair of ugly planars. Now where can I get them reterminated to balanced?

I have found the same thing with the crappy recordings. I have also found that I almost universally prefer upsampling frequencies 176.4>88.2>96>192. Somehow seems a little weird to me.

Color me jealous

Used Pico w DAC

Well you can probably also set up an input configuration that uses none of the speakers. You can check out the users manual HERE

No, it makes all the phones sound like skullcandys.

Happy Birthday to you both. Happy Birthday to you both.

A good op-ed piece still needs to be based upon facts. Taking a picture and writing a nice story about it is fine for five-year olds but not for adults in a newspaper. Especially when the story is used to make a political statement, which is what it was about, not about the correctness of the diplomacy. I expected the story to be written as it was from Bolton, my real problem is that the Washington Post decided to publish it. True or not, that lends it an air of credibility it does not deserve. Now granted the direction of the story is contrary to my political longitude but if it had been written from the opposite perspective saying it was the best thing since Madeleine Albright, and used only the facts in this story, I would have the same problem with it. Plus there are always (and should be IMO) backdoor talks going on, even with batshit dictators, all the time. Just usually not this public. Lastly, the only way to play a megolomaniac is to make them think they are in charge of what is going on.

Oh, that explains why he can only write a story based upon speculation, supposition and sanctimonious platitudes.

Wow, the Washington Post has certainly been hit hard by the newspaper crisis. I thought I was reading a story in the National Examiner.

Sorry to hear about the injury Al. Keeping my fingers crossed it's not the ACL, but it's damn hard to drink this way.

FTFY

Some stuffs from Ikea to begin a proper home for the ever-growing whiskey collection and accoutrements.

Yep, he's even having problems with getting the shipping crates for the BA's built.

True to the first one but not to the second.

Are you going to hackintosh it?

agreed^2

I somehow find this refreshing. Enjoy.

Happy Birthday Pete, I will toast with some Lot B when I get home.

On some phones it makes little difference (eg DT880) but on others (K701 and K340) it makes a hell of a difference. I have a hard time listening to the K701 SE on the GSX and I don't even try any more with the K340. The Senn 650 also sound better balanced to me but not as huge a difference as the AKGs. I will be doing some Grado balancing next, so that should be fun.
