You badly need to recalibrate your jocularity detector.

Three versions.

Albeit backwards?

Don't thank me, thank Paddy McAloon(y).* Lloyd Cole And The Commotions -- Rattlesnakes Vinyl. * Spot the difference from the guy on the bike.

I have recently been mulling a truly high-end IEM design consisting in the main of twin angelic choirs dancing upon the heads of dual platinum pins. I believe this to be both psycho-acoustically and theologically sound.

Yay! The backlash is officially underway.

You could roll both cables and DACs in search of ultimate synergy. Good times!

Oh yeah, I've still got the original prototype Enigma OMGWTFBBQ HD600 cable sitting in a drawer somewhere here collecting dust. I'll send it to you and you can tell me if I was nuts to think it made a nice difference.

Dew eet! < $220.

It will doubtless shock you to hear that I might be interested in the LP5.3 stack if you do decide to go that way. Edit: Except yours are black, aren't they?

Occam's razor would suggest they've actually done fuck all so far and that "demodification" will simply require repackaging of the donor phones for shipment. Should said phones arrive in original condition, this thesis is presumably confirmed.

I could murder some poutine right now.

Don't get curds in your hair, hippie!

Major parking fail. Bonus points for stopping to think about it and then quietly sidling away, probably whistling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do6pmYfNco0

And presumably, that'd be just as good since the code is really the thing. Pfft. You just need a steady hand with the laser trimmer. And really, really good eyesight.

Which would make them something other than ersatz PMD100 and PCM1704, no?

The Sighs -- What Goes On

I think we're gonna have to get a little DDs versus belts holy war going.

QFT. The Psychedelic Furs -- Forever Now

Argh!

Interesting. Assuming you can flip it near the demo price you paid, you're well to the good on the phono front then. You're also making me want to look for an LP 5.3. I know it always comes down to personal preference in the end, but can you characterize the differences between the two?

No luck with emails to the company address? That's ungood.

The most deadening influence on journalism in our time is the belief that style matters more than content.
