Well, as soon as I call in the payment details I'll have bought them but my impressions should arrive tomorrow.

Stax SRD-7 mkii

Oyako Don. I love that shit.

Oyako Don. I love that shit.

Pretty morbid name too, delicious.

Oyako Don. I love that shit.

Sounds like a Yakuza chief or something.

Ingredients to make a dock cable for the SRM-001.

Zappos' last two pairs of Gel Nimbus 9s. Why is it that whenever you find a running shoe that fits you well, they immediately redesign it so that it doesn't anymore? Well stuff you Asics, I'm stocking up!

KSC75s arrived from Amazon today. Tried them out of an iPod at the gym and was pleasantly surprised how decent they sounded. Thanks for the sweatphones rec, guys.

Logitech G5 that has a broken laser. =[ Waiting for RMA, actually, I'm waiting for Buy.com to approve of cross-sending so that I can still qualify for the Logitech rebate.

Tentative, but one set of Yammy HP-1s and a Wharfedale Isodynamic!!

All for the princely sum of $75.

Sounds like a Yakuza chief or something.

That Okayo Don is some good stuff.

It's my backup order when I don't think the katsudon will be good enough at the restaurant.

a Wharfedale Isodynamic!!

Holy crap!!!! Detailed internal pics or I'll send the Stax Mafia after you... not that I have any power over a Stax Mafia if there even was such a thing...

So what happens when the Oyako isn't good enough? I had a real shitty Oyako Don this past Tuesday. =[

Wow that's uh... kind of bad. Chicken, onions, egg, dashi, rice. Not exactly a complex dish

Pico DAC:

You bought it?

You bought it?

No, but I'm not sure I'm giving it back.

That amp on your desk causes me a bit of pain...

It is kind of sad but will work out in the end. I will use the new Beta in here until I can eventually replace it with either an Arcam Solo Mini or more likely a Headroom amp. I feel like I should support Headroom since I have the stands, thanks to Tyll. That way the new Nugget Audio Beta will be back home where it belongs.

GrawkSonic Mono blocks

Pico DAC:

Eww, does that have a mini jack?

And I want pics of the GrawkSonicMono!

All this talk of desktop systems -- let alone the collapse of the economy -- finally got me to pull the trigger on my dream office system:

First, some Nugget Vaughn Collective cables (RCAs, super shorty bi-wire speaker cables).

Next, a couple of these HeadRoom Bi-Amp MonoBlocks that will be fed by my existing HeadRoom Desktop Amp/Dac, which just received completely new amp board, modules, and volume pot:

Then, a couple of these HeadRoom Speaker Stands:

To hold these beautiful Harbeth HL-P3ES-2 mini-monitors:

Well, I hope it will all seem worthwhile once it is set up and rocking my office. The anticipation already has me worked up pretty good.
