That must kick ass. I need that. As for me: Cowboy Junkies -- Whites Off Earth Now! [MoFi]

Listening out of the TTVJ FET-A for the last hour and it is a very pleasing combo. I have been listening straight out of a Squeezebox (crappy streaming Rhapsody) and also from an iMod so not the highest fidelity, but certainly enough to get a sense of the combo. I quite like the way the cans sound from this amp, especially with the iMod. The FET-A gives them some good body but it is a nicely clean, detailed amp so you aren't losing out on some of their strengths. The bass is nice and the highs are extended but not harsh. The MoFi Cowboy Junkies is playing now and it sounds great so I'm going to let it ride while I do some work. Nice enough combo that I am going to leave this setup in place for awhile.

Oh damn, that is awesome! Nice boards.

It certainly does and that song struck a particularly fond chord from many a dorm party. They were wunderbar!

I love the CD3000 with the P1 and the Woo 5/6. It also sounded great with my old MPX3. I am not super familiar with the P200 but I was not impressed from a quick listen and others have even said it seems flimsy (compared to the P1 an Abrams tank might seem flimsy though). Anyway, I could try it with the FET-A because I don't have any recollection of pairing them. I really like that amp and had the same thought before Ric mentioned it because of your desire for a budget amp. I'll let you know.

Seeing that album title immediately made me think of Tenpole Tudor's Wunderbar so I gotta play it: Tenpole Tudor -- Wunderbar: Stiff Records Singles Collection And remember:

Well put, Nate. And this is a particularly nice KGSS to boot.

Steve Earle -- Townes I really dig this record.

Entrails interior ftw! That is awesome but the light saber zipper thing looks like a plush dildo.

Peter, Bjorn & John -- Rhapsody Originals Tift Merritt -- Home Is Loud

That was supposed to be "now that you have tamed her..." but you got the gist. You'll regret selling the DX in favor a 717. Believe that.

I am bringing my new TTVJ Portable Amp, Pico, SR-71, iMod, and maybe a pair of cans other than my JH|13s.

Don't do it Dinny! The DX is home, not that you have tamed her slutty behavior!

Beck -- Mutations

Mike said he would pick up Brent and me on Thursday evening, and I said Brent can stay in my room that night, but is Brent not arriving until Friday now?

Those are some skeptical mother-fucking elves right there.

elves? That is some spell checker you got there.

The little Monkey beat me to it! Have a great one Gene, and see you Friday for a proper toast in your honor. Cheers!

Yes, JP, Filburt and I put them through some paces today. They were both quite good, but the win goes to the Amarra 4. Probably closer than I expected, which means the ULN-2 was closer than I thought it would be. We listened to 16/44 and 24/96 files, and had 6 songs that we intended to compare but I think we did more like 3-4. I felt the 4 was better in terms of bass tone and definition and quantity, there is more weight to the sound (maybe the same thing), the image is a more compact and flatter on the ULN-2 and the definition is a little better with the 4. We did have some issues in trying to switch back and forth using one Firewire connection and changing settings and such, but we were ultimately able to get a sense of it and I don't think the technical glitches really prevented us from hearing the units. We also tried Filburt's modded Assemblage DAC and it sounded very good as well. The bass is very strong and it sounded very good overall both through Filburt's Headamp Dynalo and through my speakers. Great DAC for the money.
