I have and love a VPI Aries 3 with all available upgrades. If I were looking at tables in this price range, I would definitely include the TW Acustic Raven AC-3, although I have yet to hear one.

Dirty Projectors -- Bitte Orca The song Temecula Sunrise has the following lines: Definitely you can come and play with us, I know there's a space for you in the basement, yeah Change "us" to "Reks" and we have a new theme song!

I don't have a problem with raising the question and saying, "hay, you guyz have any of these swirly lines on the mesh of yoar HD800?" What I think is over the top is the implication and then the direct statement that these are imperfections and inconsistencies in a product released by a big corporation... I just looked at my HD800s in the daylight and I can see a couple of these marks that the guy is pointing out. Looking closely, it does not even seem to be an impression, crease or a ridge, but rather a mark like when you run your fingernail over something and it leave a trace. Calling this a defective product based on these things is ridiculous in my book.

Thanks bud. It was fun, and the party last night actually was pretty good. Really funny to watch the kids dancing, especially since I am not Chosen and was not on the bar mitzvah circuit where they have had a ton of dances.

I had to read the post a couple of times to understand your issue, but I wasn't talking about computer monitors when I said "displays," although yours was huge. Monster had several product displays set up in the rooms that were enormous and completely out of place at our type of event. They basically packed it all in on Friday and then clogged the halls filling pallets to pack it all out on Sunday. It was lame and obtrusive.

Yeah, yeah, that's what you said about CanJam Lloyd! I just mentioned to JP the other day that I was bummed you didn't show. It will be good to see you in August, though (and not just for Becky's toffee pecans either ).

Imperfections? Inconsistencies? It is a metal mesh formed into inconsistent shapes, curvatures, and angles. You're really going to call those creases or shimmers in the metal defects? Regardless, it is merely the material that prevents one from poking into the drivers or otherwise harming the working parts of the cans. No effect on the sound whatsoever. Get a grip.

What the heck are you talking about?

What is the driving distance from Stankonia?

Same here: Steve Jansen -- Slope And by the way, Stretch, with the possible exception of Yello, I like/have pretty much every single album you post here.

Agreed, but you gotta recognize that shaizada's ears have been carpet-bombed by the B-52 for some time now.

Went to my daughter's 8th grade graduation and felt proud. Odd not to be going back to that place after 9 years. Onward and upward.

Obviously.

Steve Earle -- Townes

Awesome Greg. Those speakers really did sound good. Although I think it was the transport/DAC mostly. Congrats and good luck with the Manleys.

I disagree. People don't even see those as headphones. They see them as noise canceling devices for airplanes and such. Not the same.

Actually, he's a known non-douche-nozzle.

Nope, that huge Jaba the Hut guy slurps those all up. Sorry.

Allman(s) really are hot right now with Derek and Warren. dew eet!

I agree, Justin, and I think it would be a mistake to exclude them from the next CanJam. Maybe limit the number of them who get in on each table reserved and set ground rules excluding: (1) giant displays or crap; (2) videotaping/lighting every fucking movement; (3) that really obnoxious guy with the beard; and (4) tell Noel Lee that Segway will be limited to viable areas/rooms.

Yeah, I am not sure either. Now, more new old jazz: Freddie Hubbard -- Without a Song: Live in Europe 1969

Monk -- OJC Six Pack Do you know about these new collections, Chris?

Did Noel Lee cruise you, Greg?

Peter Holsapple and Chris Stamey -- Here and Now Curious what the heart of the dBs produce 20 years later.
