Cable Inventory	Frost Audio is no more - Avidon Audio Labs is my production company now, but I focus mostly on recording engineering. I do have a few cool designs (mostly for the pro audio world) in the pipeline, but for now I largely use Gepco cable - DS401m or X-band double braid for balanced, VPM2000 or X-band instrument for unbalanced. If you need no-hype, broadcast grade cables ever, drop me a PM and I'll build some for you. Certainly got plenty of raw wire :)

Audio-Related Tweaks	http://www.alsa-project.org/main/...
Music Preferences	Primarily modern Jazz/Jazz Fusion, some electronic (trip-hop, dubstep, D&B, Chemical Breaks, Psytrance, Goa, EBM, etc), classic rock, some indie-electro/alternative. If it's compelling I'll listen to it, I just don't like derivative, repetitive, overproduced shallow drivel. So no Lady Gaga or Katy Perry for me thank you very much. Some of my favorite artists include, in no particular order: Yoko Kanno David Bowie Brad Mehldau Taylor Eigsti Pink Floyd Hot Chip Steely Dan The Crystal Method The Chemical Brothers Benny Goodman Aaron Goldberg Chromeo Neon Neon Daft Punk Gnarls Barkley Benjamin Rosenblum Roy Assaf Weather Outpost 12 Midnight's Exile Infected Mushroom Maria Schneider
Interests (non-headphone)	Baseball (particularly the art of pitching), Football (for the sheer tactical brilliance of it), Tennis (my primary sport), Martial Arts (I practice Krav Maga). I'm a pretty hardcore otaku, wrote my thesis on Japanese Superflat and Neopop movements, craft brewing/distilling, local, sustainable farming and hydroponic technologies (I live in Bushwick after all...), a wide variety of artistic forms, especially sculpture/architectural installation, theater and film (outside of music that is). Billiards. RPGs (of the video game variety, not into the whole death and destruction thing so much...). Essentially if I'm not working, I'm either at a jazz club, a pool hall or a symposium or I'm at home playing video games or watching anime/documentaries/indie film/the occasional episode of Battlestar Galactica. I like House and Fringe too...
Gear-Fi (Favorite Non-Audio Gear & Gadgets)	Watches, Pool Cues, high end bourbon/beer? Does that count? Front Projectors, computers (Linux nerd...). But mostly I work on the ALSA architecture. So that hardly counts as non-audio huh...
