I think the correspondent should enter the byline hall of fame.

The Audreys -- Between Last Night And Us

I just don't get what he thinks he's accomplishing. If he really hasn't built the amp, or he sold it to someone else, or traded it for cheap vodka, or whatever -- is telling you every day from now on that it'll ship tomorrow really a viable long-term strategy?

Just cut and paste.

Catherine Wheel -- Chrome

Did you remember to eat the afterbirth?

That Young's stout isn't too shabby either. Mmm, double chocolate, aaarrrggh.

And once these are gone, he can announce they're going to start making them again!

Yes. And just in general in such generally exalted company.

In your dreams, Mr. Baby Carrot.

Hook it into your speaker system and tell us how it does. Pretty please.

The New Pornographers -- Electric Version

Not that I have to tell you this, but there is a whole world outside America.

It does sound like there won't be an awful lot around. A couple of hundred pairs initially, from what Todd and Tyll seem to be saying. Given that Senn can't really ramp up production (since they are "hand-made by German master craftsmen" blah blah blah), if they do turn out to be the shiznit and everybody jumps off the fence at once, it might not be easy finding a pair for a while!

Still going up. NSFW, fairly obviously.

I'm not trying very hard not to.

The shemale percentage this week seems higher than average.

UB40 -- Signing Off

FIFY.

Ninja Engineering -- "Once you've heard it, it's too late!"

Presume this is a rhetorical question?

Yeah, this isn't the greatest time to be launching a premium-priced product in any segment. But, on the other hand, $1,400 is peanuts in the larger hi-fi arena and you could also think of it as a potential way to target the lower end of the audiophile speaker market -- which is likely in for a bloody beating in this recession.

That's because you're just a humble cable monkey, not a conceptualist and master designer like Herr Professor Dr. Dr. Rodzon. Also, I might be more impressed if their extensive research had also encompassed how to actually spell "Sennheiser."

Never thought I'd see anything uglier than the LA Jena abortions, but there you go. PS: What the fuck is a "conceptualist" and why do you need one to produce a simple headphone cable?
