Thanks for the detailed notes, Carl. Interesting findings and sounds like you had fun with it. I am a bit concerned by how much these cans seem to vary from unit to unit, and their amping needs seem to be both substantial and quite particular. I was unimpressed by my albeit short listening attempts. Claiming these cans are better than the HD800 is silly, imo.

Josephine Foster -- Graphic as a Star

Congrats on the Quads, Nate. If that is messy, then the state of my workbench (hardly used, of course) would make you have a seizure.

Various Artists -- Almost You: The Songs of Elvis Costello

Sorry, Din. It looked awfully good in the first half.

Craig is bringing one to the Feb. 27 meet, as if there weren't already so many great reasons to come out here! Oh, and I get to keep the one he is bringing to try and maybe buy.

Fly

Double posts 30 minutes apart. Very strange.

Well done! EDIT: Wait, wut? I didn't win? Must have been rigged. Who paid off that kid?

Knowing what it is like in Michigan (in-laws live there) and from your description, it doesn't seem like tough love is really going to do anything by hurt daughter's family. Not having a reliable car in winter in Michigan seems troubling, but when you factor in 3 kids under 5 years of age it is downright disturbing. If you have the cash to help, then help. My 2 cents, not yours, obviously.

Peter Bernstein Quartet -- Live at Smalls

And don't forget all the vendors need rooms!

This, although not the AF.

Cheers to having some weight off your minds!

Lambchop -- (OH) Ohio

I've checked out the Naim Uniti a couple times now and I want one bad even though I have no real reason to get one. I may sell the Arcam Solo Mini or give it to my sister and buy a Uniti for Mayberry. It is amazingly versatile, and sounds very nice. It has a CDP, FM/DAB tuners, 500+ internet radio stations programmed in, it can play music streamed from a computer or just pull it off any hard drive attached to a network. No more need for a Squeezebox. If you buy the Naim iPod dock it will control the iPod and display the information on the Uniti. Pretty frickin sweet.

And again.

What time is it, DOM?! Finally, here is a clock for your birthday so that it always tells the right time! Have a good one bro. Cheers!

Happy birthday and glad you had a good one. Cheers!

San Francisco Symphony tonight, conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas, with artist in residence Yo Yo Ma performing: Sibelius, Oceanides Shostakovich, Cello Concerto No. 2, with Yo Yo Ma Tchaikovsky, Symphony No. 2, Little Russian Really nice program, and YYM was cool. MTT is very sassy and actually turned to the audience and prompted applause in between movements of the Tchaikovsky. Never seen that before.

I obviously didn't look back, but I thought you had done the DB25, which led to the science/madness/sparta jag. Yeah, the full octopus is quite something. I think the setup I sent to Greg will give him the same output in L/R pairs across the 8 channels, so Ch1 and Ch2 will definitely work as a start. Here's what my octo-outputs looks like: Obviously! Ugly fucking thing.

wtf is that thing?
