Torpedo

Viktoria Mullova, Ottavio Dantone, Accademia Bizantina - Bach Concertos It's been recently released. Enjoying it a lot so far. The Stax Lambda Signature sound pretty good doing this stuff.

If you want an acoustic with beautiful tone, good sustain/resonance, and high playability, you may wish to try a Martin from the 000 series like any of these four. I played the EC, it felt great and sounded wonderful. My advice is that you go to a luthier shop and try a few ones. One needs to feel the guitar, see how soft or tough is playing it, and above all, how one likes its sound. The Ovations play just OK for me, but I really didn't like their tone unamplified.

Funnily enough I listened to it this morning. Nice album.

As usual every year on Christmas, it's our mates Ric (blessingx) and Guillaume (GPH) birthday. May they have a great one! Cheers

Merry Christmas, or whatever you celebrate and like to feel happy about!

RIP Yusef Lateef. Wonderful musician. I'll be playing later his Eastern Sounds, one of my favorite jazz albums. I wish there's some sort of wonderful place for people who have brought beauty and some happiness to others in this otherwise pretty fucked up world. Maybe that's just resting in peace.

I hope you have a great one.

I thought it worked fine back then

Congrats! My brother in law has got two daughters. Now they're in the adolescence. He has coined a new term, which in Spanish sounds a bit better, but it's also usable in English: abhorrescence.

Yeah, you may end up photographing your crotch.

do nothing with your pupils dilated

Happy birthday!!

Yes!!! with something in the mouth Congrats, Brent. I'm sure that was a wonderful moment.

Wow, very good indeed. Thanks for sharing, Peter.

Joan Fontaine died today. She was 96.

Excellent new, Justin!!! I love when "I told you" is for such good things

A great actor. RIP Mr O'Toole.

Yep, but I'm pretty lazy and usually in a hurry, so I feed it with ALAC and when I've listened to all the albums, I renew the load.

I do carry a 64GB iTouch and the telephone. I think the iTouch is 2ndG so it can't even support iOS 7. The telephone doesn't have such memory.

Oh, how didn't I think of that. If the damn 701 needed about 1000 hours, these, being moar betta' surely will need about 2000

Absolutely! I've had dinner already, but I would eat a good chunk of that poor little animal right now.

Tyll, you have a reputation which most long time headphone aficionados know of and respect. IMHO you have to honor it being honest and giving your opinion. You're not a sell out nor a shill, so probably the way to go is saying what you think. OTOH it's a well known fact that Stereophile, Innerfidelity editors try not to piss off large (or not that large but publicity space paying) brands with bad reviews, so they just don't write them. Maybe just acknowledging you've used the cans, you've measured them and that you are refusing to write the full review, is enough for those in the knowledge.

That looks interesting, Purk. I had a Sony mp3 player and I loved its sound. I've seen the translated version of that page. Looks like it will play up to 24/192 in FLAC and possibly ALAC too. Any idea if it can keep as well an additional SD card to increase capacity?

Thanks for the plots. I don't like very much the response peaks at 5, 8 and 10KHz, nor the impulse response, or the square waves for that matter, we've seen better and way better on cheaper, less pretentious cans.
