  1. Haven't had enough time with the 90s to rate them fairly. Of the others, I like the 800s over the 60s for comfort and soundstage and otherwise think they're in the same league. Wouldn't even consider the 6X0s again now for anything other than budgetary reasons. As far as the 800's character -- one man's sterile is another man's incisive. Good Grados are more fun, but they don't match the out-of-head experience you can enjoy with the big Senns.
  2. I see what you did there.
  3. The ULN-8 bangs every other interface in every other available orifice. It is said.
  4. Morrissey -- Bona Drag
  5. You've always been a young fogey and are good to go.
  6. Lloyd Cole -- Antidepressant God I love this album. Anyone else dealing reluctantly with middle age should check it out in the box. The rest of you youngsters can go pork each other on MyFace, or whatever it is that you do.
  7. She's a woman, prominent in the local community and (as we've already seen) probably has a fair shot at a diminished culpability defense. IANAL, but probably Club Fed, at worst?
  8. Nevar! I would say you do want 4GB of memory, but don't really need to sweat the internal storage as you can always just keep your music library on an big-ass external drive.
  9. Back for moar. Now with 6H30PI toobage, no fans and allegedly optimised for 300 to 600 ohm cans. $799.
  10. People love those. And it was a deal. I twitched a bit myself.
  11. The Jesus And Mary Chain -- Darklands
  12. How does the DL-S1 compare to the Zyx, JP?
  13. China Crisis -- Flaunt The Imperfection
  14. Such as greed?
  15. The kids woke up at sparrow fart this morning so I teed them up with the last of the friggin' cartoon Christmas specials left on the DVR and had a good session on the headphones. Auto rate switching = win. Hi-res vinyl rips + Amarra = significant additional marginal wintility.
  16. It's called "leveraging the power of the Internet." Where have you been?
  17. I'd say that's a given. A quick Google shows their net profit margin is in the 5% range. Assuming for simplicity sake that their revenues have been relatively close to the cited $10 million a quarter during the last few years, she would have spent every single dollar they made over the entire period plus all of the company cash reserves. Could be a terminal event.
  18. Damn you.
  19. toe -- The Book About My Idle Plot On A Vague Anxiety Found an Amazon seller just down the road. Will rip it when I get it on Monday.
  20. Dude, you're getting a dCS stack?
  21. Pretty much echos my own very limited experience to date. Seems to me, listening now and flicking off and on, that the individual instrumental elements just stand out a little more obviously? Took your advice Al and called SS and they got me going. Nice guys.
  22. Got 1.1 installed. Still have the random cut outs because SS have to manually register my iLok key at their end, which is kind of a pain and I guess will take a while. But even running in demo mode the general effect is certainly audible and enjoyable. Uses a fairly consistent 480MB of RAM and around 4% of CPU cycles, both of which I can happily spare.
