Beck -- Sea Change

TLDR.

More likely the extreme magnetification of those drivers has teslatized its component moleculites.

OK, not USB, but I bet this little setup sounded quite nice for a "mere computer rig".

It puts the cups on the headphones or it gets the hose again.

Build me a T2 or I squeal.

I don't even want to know what the wife said when you told her you were getting heavily into 65-year-old army surplus, Nate-o.

So, so wrong.

My nominee -- most well-deserved facepalm of the week.

Win win winny win win!

Two men enter, one man leaves -- with all the audio stuffs.

The Beatles -- Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Mono) Haven't seen this much mono going around since the girls' dorms at college.

The Beatles -- Rubber Soul (Mono)

I feel out of it today, too. The accompanying sore throat is probably a bad sign. And kids are like predators, they can smell weakness.

The current-gen iPod Touches just got a nice price cut ahead of the launch of the new ones. The 32GB is $120 off at $279.

Whatever the actual case, I'm going to enjoy imagining that the reason they're on sale is because of some hungover Chinese silkscreener running off a thousand pairs with "Hammcher (sic) Schle". Would make the Head-F1 debacle seem a mere hiccup.

Did they really try and write "Hammacher Schlemmer" on the earcups and run out of room? Can't see the pic too well on my phone.

Good deal on a classic integrated amp. AudiogoN ForSale: NAD C325BEE

Oh ye of little faith! I still think the category they're trying to define is interesting. Instead of a player that just happens to have digital inputs, it's a DAC that just happens to include a transport. Huge difference, see?

Billy Bragg -- "Tank Park Salute" I hate this song because it makes me cry every single fucking time thinking about my own Dad. Stupid ginger bastard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5heTJ65bdhU&feature=player_embedded

I would eat your sausage.

Just checking. Remember I'm an old guy and this stuff isn't second nature to us. And get off my lawn.

The Who -- Live At Leeds Vinyl

Sorry for the unfortunate juxtaposition, but today I bought my son his first proper (pedal) bike. We rode around the block a few times together. He was well chuffed.

I'd include the original Totem Model 1s, which go used for $600 - $700. Very winning sound in the Spendor/Harbeth end of the spectrum.
