    Not a high quality tune, but somewhat fun http://vimeo.com/68629850
  2. Problem in Rome is traffic. It's always heavily congested, damn slow. Even an ambulance would have trouble there.
  3. I guess that the other advantage of getting the signal balanced from the mic is having twice the voltage, once you sum the legs. Considering they're tiny signals...
  4. Shocking and sad. Great loss, he'll be missed.
  5. I see, I knew their early albums were unobtainium, but I thought there could be other rumors.
  6. What's the conspiracy theory about Boards of Canada?
  7. I'm using the plus. I tried it, compared it to Decibel, Amarra and a couple more, then decided it has a decent price-performance ratio and paid for it. I don't use iTunes--just to feed the iPod--, and have a good lot of DSD, 24/88-96 and FLAC files, so it filled well quite some needs.
  8. Try Audirvana, Jacob.
  9. Happy day you dads!

    Thanks!
  11. that's sad, Jacob. I'm sorry for your inconveniences and also for the poor old lady.
  12. I could live with that hadn't other amps, but some of my friends who listened to the combo (who by the way love the O2) found the HD800-B22 pairing unlistenable. To each one his own, I guess.
  13. What a pity, you could have placed a nice headphone rig in that space. Music makes shitting way more pleasant
  14. Really? OMG now I understand that funny smell.
  15. I was thinking there was a MBA with retina display, that'd be ideal Now seriously the weight isn't that different just 300grs. Battery life seems to be way larger, specially the 13" MBA. For a bit more money you can swap the HDD in the rMBP for a SSD, so weighs are more similar and probably battery life will be longer too.
  16. I've listened to the HD800 (which I own, modded according--more or less-- to Anaxilus/Tyll directions) with the Beta22 (mine is a Nugget Audio unit). It's a great system, very good sound quality, but a bit brittle, not really involving and enjoyable in the lush-musical sense. Sound-wise it's awesome, plenty of detail and rough quality. The Gilmore Reference (kind of GS-X) or the Luxman are more musical and enjoyable. It all comes down on what type of sound you enjoy and like better. The 3000ANV are nice cans, but not really in the same league of resolution, detail and balance as the HD800. For closed cans are fun though. Still unsure if I like the L3000 better.
  17. Happy Birthday!!!!
  18. ^This. Following one's heart and instinct is what usually ends up making one happy. It's just that sometimes it takes some time to show. And it's not always the easiest path.
  19. I didn't know about the track volunteer. Sad news The race was fantastic. I still think that RB cheats and does something to Vettel's car which the FIA is yet to find out. It make no sense, regarding time differences during the training sessions and previous races, that Vettel after just a couple of turns was almost 3 seconds ahead Hamilton. He's not that good driver. And he's damn lucky, he might have well ruined the race when went off the track after the chicane a few turns before the end, when it was obvious he was going to win. One of these days we'll know Massa also did a great race. Surprisingly good despite his disastrous Q2 and the previous race at Monaco. Same did Kimi, he's one of the great drivers. Sergio Perez and Pastor Maldonado aren't that far in dangerousness from Grosjean. This just takes things a bit further

    Complete agreement on Black Magic Woman and Carlos. The Peter Green/Fleetwod Mac original isn't the same. What about Cake's take on "I will survive"? http://youtu.be/cvsI3jc4pPA

    My favorite cover of Over the Rainbow http://youtu.be/4RDmXsGeiF8
  22. Wow. Vodka or one eye blindness, perhaps both.
  23. BSO + Piatigorski + Munch - Dvorak & Walton Cello Concertos (RCA Living Stereo) A DSD rip of this SACD. It sounds awesome, I'd say clearer and deeper than the CD.
  24. This is the cover of a street lighting conduction in Valencia city, featuring its coat of arms. I hadn't ever noticed the funny coincidence
