Snow Leopard available for Pre-Order
My guess is I bought it and now I'm giddy.

Omega 2 vs K1000 shootout
I could definitely get behind that.

New Woo Audio Electrostatic Headphone Amp!
That sounds fair. It has Auricaps standard, though -- those are no slouch, right? I suppose for peace of mind, the OIMP upgrade isn't too terrible. It's priced almost at cost, from what I can tell.

The Headcase Stax thread
I happily purport that SR Lambda + SRM-T1 is the best intro stax setup. I'll go one further and say it's the best intro setup, period. "Intro" in this case means somewhat shy of $1000, though....

Yeah! Get out of my back yard, snuffalupagophiles!

Easy enough to fix... moar estats!

New Woo Audio Electrostatic Headphone Amp!
I always presumed that upgrades were less important than the actual topology. If you're going to sink the cash in upgrades, it's probably best to simply move up to the next entire model. By that thinking, you should only bother to upgrade the WA5 and the WES out of the Woo lineup. This is, at least, how I justify stock units to that terrible, expensive, nagging voice.

The Headcase Stax thread
You're looking for amplifiers, not energizers. No one still makes energizers. I believe you have listed all current amp manufacturers, though. I wouldn't call mikhail and mcallister "in business". As to the EMF -- everything comes at a cost. I'm unaware of any credible studies linking estats to brain tumors, but the same goes for cell phones.

2009 RMAF & Head-Fi (CanJam 09.5?)
I could feel Al Stiefel reaching out through my monitor, patting my head, tussling my hair, and offering me a werther's original. I'm game to blow those fuckers' socks off. I sure do hope some folks are planning on showing up with world-class systems.

Well, looks like they're expecting some portable audio. Curious.

^^^ Second to last sentence gave it away. Before that, I was totally "hooked". Simply wondrous.

were you listening to a Wadia source, perhaps?

I was kind of hoping for a street address....

Indeed. It's a kind of morbidly obese scientific notation.

Like all of slacker's shirts, it is of course made out of black mesh. However, this is a size 14xl.

He did have the decency to put his location in his profile, at least. There's something to be said for that, furry.

Omega 2 vs K1000 shootout
I am absolutely thrilled with my K1K. I immediately enjoyed them more than I have ever enjoyed a pair of O2s, and certainly more than I've enjoyed any sigmas I've heard, 404 included. I got to run NaamanF's pair from his b22 alongside his O2s from his BH (both fed by his glorious Buffalo), and the difference was staggering to me. The K1000 does everything I love, and I prefer them to everything else I've ever heard. That said, Faust's comparison might not be inaccurate -- I also sold my fullrange speakers for a great pair of monitors.

I'd pick Denise Richards over Lou Diamond Phillips. She is at least pleasing in one way.

Gin's FOTM is always "drunk".

Hell's Kitchen Season 6
It's basically shark fermented in urine. I think I'd still notice the taste even if I had been dead for a few weeks. Notable that Jeremy Clarkson didn't vomit, but Ramsay did.

So we're looking at less than ONE WEEK of mirror scuzz, there? Do you beat off anywhere else, Furry?
