  1. Noooo. I'm a single-ended spud, I'm a single-ended spud... Laxx, the fans are easily replaced. There's a picture a page back from the Head-Fi thread, where the guy swapped them out for quieter (and blingier) LED ones.
  2. That I can't imagine. It's just not going to be a proper bruin cafe anymore without the nicotine decor!
  3. Is that an Ariel Atom? Those will rip your face right off, allegedly.
  4. Some other reasonable options. Signal Cables. Zebra Cables. If easily available means need it now, then: Impact Acoustics.
  5. Bought some used HD600s. Have been wanting to compare a pair with my 650s for a while.
  6. The first series of Californication on DVD. Artistic merits yet to be determined, but hooray for boobies.
  7. Sadly it's already gone. I just thought it looked interesting.
  8. One of these just came and went on Agon for $845. Looks like a whole lot of happiness for the money. Anyone know anything about the builder? 807 Tube Stereo Amplifier
  9. They drink La Chouffe in Heaven. When I lived in Amsterdam, on the other hand, we drank a great deal of De Koninck.
  10. Where's Seymour coming up with the extra quoted 100W in output from the same modules, I wonder? I like D-Sonic, too. Some day I am going to ditch my backbreaker Rotel HT amp for one of their 3*525W + 2*250W builds.
  11. They don't sell stuff like they used to.
  12. ^^^ I was just going to go on tiresomely about kristalweizen!
  13. I do feel bad for them. Their US agent is as nice a guy as you could hope to meet and they were really, really good about a resistor issue with the MkIVse that affected me and a few other owners on HF. No fuss, took it straight back and sent me a new one -- and I was the third owner of that particular unit and said so. This looks like last-minute panic after a few early-production models went up in smoke. The designer was saying on their forum quite recently that it would be passive-cooled only.
  14. Drifting off topic here, but when I lived in DC I used to patronize a sushi bar where the chef was a huge Burgundy hound. His theory was that they particularly complemented umami-rich dishes. My theory was that since he was selling some great stuff at very fair prices, I wasn't going to argue with him!
  15. So rice wine > rice beer? I'm a sake ignoramus and no way in Hell am I touching Diet Anything.
  16. Very diplomatic. I like it just fine in the right context -- very cold, at the sushi bar.
  17. Sorry to keep derailing this thread, but I found a shot of those ICE Blocks' internals if anyone's interested.
