I'll try to be there too! I should be able to bring my Meridian 506 CD player and Melos SHA-1 amp. As for headphones, I don't really have a good pair to match with them right now, but I can bring my Beyer 250-250s.

Those are both great albums -- I'd definitely recommend Dear Catastrophe Waitress as well.  It's got some of my favorite Belle&Sebastian songs on it.

I’m sure a lot of you will find this as exciting as I did when I first found out from a friend yesterday: Belle and Sebastian’s new album, Write About Love, due to be released Tuesday next week, is available to stream for free from NPR.org up until its release.  ...

Thanks for the suggestion, but after the ordeal of getting up there, I don't know if I'll be so adventurous again.  But Sepinho had actually wanted to go to The Bird except that apparently it has about 2 tables.  So he wasn't able to get a reservation.  If I do make it back, I will try a burger...

Thanks Sepinho and m00hk00h for organizing such a successful event!  We didn't have a huge crowd, but that made it more intimate and I personally thought it was better this way.  And thanks to Matthias and Oliver of Sennheiser for coming.  If you're reading this, it was great to meet both of...

Also, I will be able to bring my gently beat-up Ultrasone HFI-650 as well as my Beyerdynamic DT250-250.

Unfortunately, my car is now full on the way to Berlin... yipes, there's a lot of people on Mitfahrzentrale who are looking short term!  I have one place free on the way back, though, but that will probably get filled pretty soon too.  I'd be leaving at 3pm on Sunday.

Though I already told you, just so it's here, I'll be getting in after 5, and hopefully before 6.  I hope to be able to hit a decent Getränkemarkt on the way to pick up a wonderful Badisch surprise.  Sepinho, it's a secret, so no telling! :)

It looks like I'll be coming -- but if there's anyone who would like to come along for the ride from Freiburg to split the gas and keep me company, that would be great!  Although I suppose most people have already made travel arrangements already.  But if you haven't, or if you were going to...

Well, I actually live over 3 hours away by train. That's why I couldn't commit so very much time. If we were to have a meet in Freiburg (where I live), I could do more. But Freiburg is not easily accessible by plane, so I would not recommend it.

Sorry, haven't read through everything but would certainly recommend Frankfurt or Düsseldorf over Berlin and Hamburg for Germany. Both are more-easily accessible (by trains, planes, and automobiles) and should be better ausgestattet for conventions, if you'll pardon my German. Also, Hamburg...

Today, I made a delicious tomato sauce for my dinner of Matzah pizza (chag sameach, everyone!). Tomato puree with a bunch of spices -- pepper, salt, basil, oregano, thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper. But the most important ingredient is spicy Turkish ajvar. Topped with some Emmentaler cheese...

Hi ephemere, I hope you don't mind if I bring this rather old thread back to the front. I saw that you had bought the JH13 after all, but then returned them for a refit. Since you also listen to classical music, love the ER-4S except for the comfort factor, and are not a big fan of the HD600, it...

The ER-4S is the one headphone I've kept for 8 years. I can confirm that it is as insensitive as many full-size headphones whether you mean in its need for amplification or to your sensibilities regarding how well you would have liked your favorite artists to have recorded their music. On the...

I was tricked into watching this crap. Grrrrr...
