The diary entries of a little girl who is now 30! ~ Part 2 - Page 294

^From my experience, the folks that answer the email at many businesses don't know a darn thing about their company's products. They sometimes don't even know who their own dealers/distributors are. I run into this a lot when researching equipment online. A phonecall usually clears things up.

 

Linux is always like that though.

Pink is in style for 2013.

In an interesting turn of events, I think I'm becoming a cat lover  liker. 

 

I visited a cat shelter with my girlfriend today, and...

 

 

TEH KITTEHS WUZ SSOOOO CCUUUUTTEEEEE

 

I think I'm starting to understand them. Dogs are more loving, and they are warmer. However, cats seem to be wiser. 

 

I'm moving into my own apartment in a few days and I'm considering adopting a kitteh of my own. They seem more low maintenance.

 

Almost nothing says "otaku" quite like exotic $2,000 custom-built earphones with cute anime characters on them.

 

 

 

Almost nothing.

Are any people in this thread fans of Hikki?

 

This should be quoted and saved for future reference somewhere please. Don't know what else to say or how I can elaborate more on the topic but only that I strongly agree. Desire is only desire so long as it remains unfulfilled. What an awesome read.

^That's a cool little turntable. Almost makes me want to play records again. Almost.

 

 

Having been owned by many cats over the years, I can say that they do indeed make good pets. Especially for apartment dwellers. Just make sure they have plenty of scratching posts, and a cat-tower or two available. And, an extra kitty to play with always helps.

I still remember spinning vinyl during the 80's on my dads old turntable. Those were good times

 

Hmm. Two kittehs sound like work (and fun).

 

My girlfriend decided to adopt one. I'm going to the dollar store tomorrow to buy a laser 

My current cat's about as affectionate as a nice dog when he's actually awake.  Their personalities vary wildly.

 

I got a Cambridge 350C today, which I plan on hooking up to my DAC via coaxial as soon as I remember where I left the cable.  For awhile I've been thinking it would be nice to be able to use my stuff without also being on the computer.  I bought this specific one because it was offered to me at an alright price and it killed my temptation to get that $1k Woo thing.  And it should be more than adequate at spinning the disc and sending a digital signal to my DAC, right?

Lasers. Best investment for playing with a cat since pet birds.

Meanwhile, I think I've made a discovery today. My dad fancies himself an audiophile, or at least our home media center has vastly improved in audio quality since I left for college. I don't know what speakers he's using, but he's got a BUNCH of boxes that I can only assume are amps, dacs, and other miscellaneous important things that I don't understand. If I got some names of what I'm seeing, could you guys identify?

PS: Are the Z1000 and the 7520s essentially the same headphone or what? I'm sad Z1000 is out of production, but if the 7520 is the same thing, then everything is excellent. I wonder if a Z2000 will be released...
