You read books?!

Mostly technical books and papers.

A 64GB Samsung SSD for my main workstation computer. QUIET!!!! and fast, what a nice combo. And finally at a size/price I could stomach ($240), compared to the next closest substitute (Velociraptor).

Newegg had the 300Gb Velociraptor drive for $180 last week. =T I have the 150Gb and it's fucking awesome.

@ Marc, whoa.

figured I'd try the insanely priced resistors (Duelund silver and carbon). I mean, when your already at ~$1,500 for 4 drivers, what's ~$60 for four resistors?

Here's my inspiration:

You were inspired by three rocks, one of which is blue?

not the rocks, but their positioning. You have to look through the material to see the immaterial beauty.

Saturday I picked up a Sony PRS-700. After some experimenting, I got all my books cataloged and loaded to my OCD satisfaction. The screen isn't nearly as nice as the 505, but that is due to the touch screen, which I need for my optimal PDF compatibility. So far, I'm very happy with it. I've had my eye on an eBook reader since I saw the old Sony alpha, but until now I had yet ot find one to fit my uses exactly. I wont know until I use it a bit more, but this comes pretty close.

DO WANT

Also will it read HTML files? (almost entirely text)

I'm not sure if it'll read HTML natively, I used Calibre (availalbe on all platforms) to convert the few HTML files I had.

I'll snap some pictures soon.

April Music Aura Note. Hopefully the ultimate all-in-one solution for me.

K271 MKII

Any different than the K271 Studio? I've been considering getting them... no reason really, except that they're fucking hot.

Inclusion of velour pads, slightly different parts (the emblems and such). Otherwise they should be the same.

That amp is sweet. It's the one audiophile memory from the first National. All the other memories are of drinking and live music.

Same here, though that was the first time I heard the HE90 as well... so it wasn't my only audiophile memory. Something weird about that amp though. It wasn't the greatest match for the K340's unfortunately, and it actually made the HD600/650's sound good! Bizarre.

Figured as much. You've heard them yourself then?

I only have the mkII, but I haven't heard any reports of them being changed internally, and my thoughts on them closely resemble another acquaintance's of his K271S.

I'm curious to hear what you think. A couple came up on A'gon. I considered picking one up for the office.

You would, millionaire.

Cool, I didn't expect they were different sonically. Not a bad thing either, as they don't do much wrong.

Mike - I've always thought that Aura unit was pretty slick myself. Not willing to shell out that much money for something that dinky at this point though.

oops, douple post

just get it, you don't need a reason or excuse

It's wintertime, they won't get hot. Especially with the velour pads, mmm soft.
