Having a ham & cheese buns from a Chinese bakery. Pretty bland and the girl at the counter did not inspire any fantasies at all.

Sad situation, Miguel. How did it get fried?

Echo and the Bunnymen -- The Fountain

Or an anchor for his wee skiff Doug told me he had, or was that spliff?

I hate Best Buy. You made the right choice by leaving and enjoying wine and chili!

First time listening, as far as I can recall. It is great so far.

Wayne Shorter -- The Soothsayer

While I was out of the office yesterday, Elephas's package arrived from Taiwan. It seemed awfully bulky in a padded envelope and I wondered if it was a tall stack of CDs. He didn't wait to open his package, so why should I? Instead of only being a stack of CDs, it was a "Taiwan-style" headphone case with more goodies inside! I love the similar case I already have and use it all the time. I think I got that from an Elephas give-away years ago, which is kind of ironic. Now the HF-1 and HF-2 don't have to fight for rights to the case and each can sit happily in its own. Also inside the case was a baggie of the RCA caps that Michael loves so much, so I can tweak a little Elephas-style. Oh, yeah, the music. I am currently listening to Musik von einem anderen Stern, which is a sampler CD from Manger with very cool recordings from lots of genres and spoken voice in German (one of my favorite sounding languages). Then there are two SACDs, one is the 30th Anniversary Sampler from Opus 3 Records and the other is Master Music's Female Audiophile collection. Very nice stuff all around, and very generous of you Michael. Thanks!

Some CDs from Posty.

And school marm Vicki sure seems to be noticing a whole lot more than she admitted in that other thread.

I am a sucker for fresh, warm donuts and although you disagree with me, I liked those better than the KKs. And screw you breakfast place, indeed!

Now I want a bag of those donuts you reviewed at DanJam. I only got one part of one donut or something because they disappeared in record time whenever a bag appeared.

Dinny, you PM'd me in October asking me about how I liked my Model 4 so maybe your cold has gone to your head. I use breakout cables with mine, and the analog output is all 8 channels. I can play simultaneously on 4 amps that way. I have a 2-channel breakout cable for the output also, but I usually use the big dog for more flexibility. The digital breakout cable is 2 AES/EBU out and 2 in (also total of 8 channels). The analog in is a simple 2-channel L/R pair, but that could be moar if I had other analog sources and wanted the Model 4 to be the preamp.

Don't we all?

The cable has no microphonics to it at all. I am sitting here flicking the cable with some slack in it and there is no sound transmission. If you intentionally flick the cable by your ears, then you hear/feel it but that is just the way ears work. I am wearing glasses right now and unless I scrape them along the tops of my ears I don't understand the issue there any differently either. I have never heard the wind outside at all with JH13s in, and customs will make a huge improvement in general over ER4s. YMMV

Great success! Glad to hear that you like the Brahem and I bet you will learn to like St.Vincent soon enough. I thought you should try an alternative type of female vocalist with a little more wit than your pop diva obsessions of late.

The China Syndrome comes to CanJam! I'm in for a Penguin if you are up for transpo in June or February if you come out then. . I'd also go for some Tokyo but I am not sure how much you want to juggle. I Amin LAX right now so will pm later. Cheers and thanks Doug!

I'm going to Disneyland!

She kept resting her bits on my shoulder and also rolled her R's seductively while describing the specials.

I am in. Joshua Redman at Grace Cathedral on Friday night before the meet will be a highlight of the weekend.

So, Reks is the protah gohn ist? Like Neo, Rocky Balboa, John McLean and Kevin Bacon? Cool.
