Animal Collective -- Fall Be Kind (EP)

James Carter -- Present Tense

My local Naim dealer doesn't have it listed yet, either, so I don't know the price. This is a gross generalization, but in my experience Naim gear sounds best with Naim gear. There is a distinct house sound and approach to gear. Whether that applies at all or to the same extent in the case of a DAC is a good question.

Balanced DAC to go with The Protector

There's some irony in there somewhere. And welcome to Head-Case merxz. Stick it out and you'll have some fun here.

Purchased but not yet dispatched! Taiwan is close, though, right?

Not there yet. How much?

Are they available? Gotta check out the website.

You don't like line drawings of hairy naked dudes? To each his own, I guess. Now playing: Portico Quartet -- Isla

UPS finally came through! Congrats.

It really isn't a problem to my understanding and while it is more or less prominent with different carts I think it is always there.

Dirty Projectors -- Bitte Orca

Bellari is noisy and lame. Don't do it. Channel Islands and other phono stages are way better options in my book.

That's hilarious, Grahame. Claire saw some of your number cavorting earlier in the day and when we were headed out for the evening there were packs of drunken Santas walking down Market. Had no idea there was such a thing as Santacon.

Rock on Bugsey!

Yes, a few of us have this subscription and it is the best of the options in my book. Their covers and artwork are by far superior to the Analogue Productions and I their customer service has been great. I don't know how they do the subscription at this point -- reach back to the remaining in print selections or just start you from here to the end or what. I know they are planning to extend the first 64 [63?] titles, but here are the OOP titles so far. They ship out 2 titles approximately once a month but it stretches out a bit at times. They bill for those 2 titles upon shipping. Great gift idea.

Bugsey is a cool dog. He will prevail!

Swanky cigar house, Mike!

Tom Waits -- Glitter and Doom Live

Alright, that's it, if they can do that kind of graphic, then they damn well should be able to do mine! Better send mine back for a re-do soon.

Two pages into a thread entitled "Pot Shunting" and nobody has made a Dom joke? "Screw you guys, I am outta here!"

Vachement cool!
