Velvet Crush -- Teenage Symphonies to God

Congrats on the 808.2i, that is one sweet CDP and I bet the DAC will be damn fine for other digital inputs.

It redundantizes the Doshi except for the phono section. If only I could get any real money for the SDS-XLR and if only I didn't have two incoming top-notch electrostatic amps and . . .

Come on, it's only 73,695 Rand. Go for it Stretch! You can borrow some of my dynamic phones for the duration.

I wish Todd had run it by some people before announcing, but the name of the amp doesn't really matter to me. This thing is going to be intense.

Sorry Dinny, but the Lyme's will go away. I'm sure Jack is fine, but they can take care of him too if he has it. I hate ticks, but our dog gets them more than us.

What plunge, exactly?

How about rubber? Or a metal cap with a concave bottom?

?? I don't know what your assumptions are, but I don't think the 4070s are inferior to the O2s. My order of ranking is SR-Omega > 4070 > O2. People don't like the 4070s for various reasons, such as weight, closed backs, too bright, etc, but the reality is not that many people have even heard them, and even fewer have heard them side by side by side with the two Omegas on an amp good enough to drive them all well.

I have 4070s and I guess I would say they are somewhat similar to the SR-Omega in that they are more lively, forward and punchy than the O2. The closed nature of the 4070 makes them pretty much different from anything else in the Stax line but they share some SR-Omega traits.

I'll definitely check it out. Thanks Ian.

That's a good one, Ricey. Your boy Jake S is back in town and playing on a weekend when I already have tickets to see Keith Jarrett and the ballet. Gonna miss him again. He'll be back, tho.

That's because Clapton is BORING even if it is cool to see him play.

Dan has said on chat that he plans to bring TWO kegs!

Seems unlikely that JP could avoid that.

Streaming KEXP from Seattle. Good stuff.

Oooh. I sense a HC outing!

Both conclusions echo exactly what JP thought when he tried out Pure Vinyl as a playback option awhile ago.

Who needs a top plate. That is gorgeous. I just realized that I am going to be practically Birgir-esque when I have a 007t, BHse and DIYT2 in the house! Better start learning how to bake too.

Haj, so sorry to hear you have more homeowner nightmares! Here's to hoping that you get them out of the way and have a nice calm patch. Best of luck bailing.

Happy birthday! Cheers
