IMHO most people are stupid so the wealthy ones among them pay absurd prices for things not that valuable. Some products, like watches, audio ancillaries, fancy clothes, select spirits and wines, and TOTL cars and whatever have that "exclusivity" consideration so even the not so wealthy come to believe those things are "that" valuable. Only time and common sense put things in perspective and at their proper place. Headphones are far from meeting that common sense spot. Only the experienced, not so stupid and sensible people, have the ability to tell what's the "real value" of something. A whole different thing is being curious and wealthy so you decide to spend an absurd amount of your money to try something. I'm still curious about how some things would sound, but I'm not as wealthy as to afford trying those at their current prices. This hobby was a lot more fun ten years ago

Happy Birthday!!! Yes we miss you

Leonard Cohen - You Want it Darker free first listen at NPR. First tune reminds me of Nick Cave.

I knew yesterday about the MAG-LEV kickstarter of a turntable using magnetic suspension to spin the platter. It looks cool, but I wonder how would such magnetic field affect the pick up and the tonearm settings.

Awesome. That was broadcasted on spanish public TV.

I've seen that thing posted before, it's probably some sort of joke. Or he's asking the price in long gone greek drachmas. 47,000 Drachmas would be like 137.9 euros.

This. Take care, gang.

Sounds like a cheap excuse.

I'd always leave that honor to you

I know, I know, hence my first reply to mikey. I was just pulling your leg a little bit I should have worded my reply to you as "getting them drunk with the Signatory bottles".

Drunk of some Signatory bottles?

Because you were focused on the bonner.

RIP What a fucking year!

Happy Anniversary, Bonnie and Carl! Silver+1 must be like white gold or something

Happy Birthday!!!

Big big congrats, Claire & Al. That's what we call here silver wedding.

So we can agree that we enjoy listening to the music we love, sounding as good as possible. I'm not much into "audiophile music" per se, but I must admit that it sounds great and listening to the beautiful beautiful sounds is an occasional guilty pleasure.

It's just a matter of preference. I'd like to know more about your view of "best resolution", because I like hearing everything into the mix, but I dislike that sense of artificial resolution which at times is produced by excessive low-mid treble.

Happy anniversary, John!

That more than squid (calamar) looks like "sepia" but I don't know the exact word to translate it into English. Sepia has a more delicate taste and softer flesh.

We're right now like 1200Km away. Enjoy your stay there

Happy Birthday!!!

Looks good. I had no idea you have biceps larger than Naaman's.
