  1. Yeah, but they weren't at risk of freezing to death at the time. Freezing trees are really cool if they aren't yours or likely to crash down on your house. Shame about the meet, Nate, and bigger shame about freezing your ass off in the basement to save your pipes.
  2. Dresden Dolls -- Yes, Virginia Dresden Dolls -- No, Virginia (Special Edition)
  3. You can't go to the NYC meet if wife and Lily are at the in-laws?
  4. Man, this sucks Nate! I hope you get those pipes warmed up enough, but what about living conditions? Would a gas generator run that furnace for you? Can you stay somewhere else for a couple days? Good luck in any event.
  5. They are primarily stunning in their quietude and lack of defects. I have had two issues between my two subscriptions. One was a scratch or some such and the other was a weird labeling issue where side 1 of Blue Train was backed with side 3 of Hootin and Tootin. In both cases, they just sent me a replacement disc with the next shipment.
  6. Lee Morgan -- Tom Cat Music Matters 45 RPM vinyl. Man, I just want everybody to come over and listen to this record! Wow is an understatement, from the vinyl, to the sound, to the music, to my system really hitting its stride. I am not meaning to brag at all, I just want anybody that might like this music to hear it this way. If the wife and kids weren't hear, I would be cranking this up like there was no tomorrow. Awesome stuff.
  7. What are the dimensions? They are cool and although there is the uncomfortable orifice reminiscence, they also bring to mind simian or elephantine facial and other physical features, including buttholes. I think a bunch of those projecting out from a blank wall could be quite stunning. Good luck and make sure you post more pics of the installation.
  8. Amanda Palmer -- Who Killed Amanda Palmer Further study for Monday night's show with Zoe Keating. I may see Zappa Plays Zappa or Los Lobos with The Blasters tomorrow night but I don't need to study for those.
  9. Reks--I just got that Sinatra on MoFi vinyl for my HF holiday exchange buddy. Do you likey?
  10. Kenny Barron/John Hicks Quartet -- Rhythm-A-Ning
  11. My SDS-XLR has the same issue with two identical umbilical cords with connectors of the same type on both ends. I have not had any problems connecting them correctly but I sure as hell do think about it every time. I have the proper placement written down and a note in my wallet even so if I am at a meet or something I wont screw it up. My Doshi preamp has two power supply umbilicals but they are completely different types and they only can be attached in one direction because of male/female or different pin-outs on either end unlike Mikhail's which can be plugged in either way on either cable. It would be easy enough for him to do something to identify them or for the owner to do so, but it should probably be there in the first place. I don't have such a strong reaction to it as some of you do, but it would be the kind of thing expected from a professional, commercial product.
  12. David Pogue has reviewed two more entrants into the pico projector market.
  13. I still think they should offer the SACDs to vinyl subscribers for an upcharge but well under the separate price. The package might not be bought by that many people, but it would resolve that dilemma for some.
  14. Good news Chris. I am still very curious how these will compare to the vinyl so I plan to get a couple I really like and check it out.
  15. I sent my apologies to Mike but it was too ridiculous to let that combo of posts sitting there. I am not defending Mikhail but this "last straw" business concerning Tom's amp that we have never seen and don't know if it is completely functional, etc., is made all the more ridiculous by Tom's post tonight that Mikhail and he have spoken and emailed and Mikhail is going to make it all better. Believe when you see it, but the idea that Mikhail intentionally fucked him was stupid in my book and the thought that he is engaged in criminal activity is not only legally wrong but also childish. Just as soon as you've heard your first SinglePower amp this statement about converting them into something better might have at least a shred of credibility. Why do you insist on making statements about something you don't know about? The supposed list of non-functional SP amps or the schematics simply do not give you a basis to make such judgments in my book.
  16. I recommend you find it. Killer sounding.
  17. On teh vinal I hope. Mmm, gud vinal.
  18. I have two kids and a wife to think about.... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS6chrslAfo]YouTube - Psycho 2 - shovel to the head[/ame]
  19. I love this new thread. What is wrong with that whiny bitch? Branford Marsalis Quartet -- Braggtown *Was that good enough Mr. Grawk? I don't want to go to Jacob's Basement.
  20. Ahh, just perfect. Now the sound isn't just inside my head, it's inside my head inside my ass.
