If you think that's annoying, then you'll appreciate the reluctance with which I postponed my WTC Health Program appointment this morning. "Sorry, I can't be screened for strange but strangely prevalent cancers because I'd be risking exposure to a strange but strangely ubiquitous respiratory...

A toothy critter appears to have gnawed one of the earpads on my OG M-100s. My desk looks like a crime scene. You can even see the stuffing. This is especially disturbing because I myself have not adopted a toothy critter. Swerves me reich, I sup hose, for not keeping my Ms in the case. Now to...

I'm interested in the EDC3s, but will they sound better than the corpse of my late uncle? I realize that IEMs will be more portable on subway rides than Uncle Antonio, but how will the signature differ? I listen primarily to Mexican funeral marches and my favorite band is Wolves of the Sierra...

"My freedom will be so much the greater and more meaningful the more narrowly mercilessly I limit my field of action lash my aching auricles and the more I surround myself gore my ossicles with obstacles serrated highs. Whatever diminishes constraint breathless agony diminishes constraint...

Understood, but you don't have to ken me personally to glean context. Someone who's acquainted with mildly esoteric kit creators and a frequently cited critic who characterizes himself as an audiophile probably has a history with the term even if that person is a stranger to you -- especially if...

Thanks for the lesson in common suffixes! Since I edit books and magazines for a living these years, I had no idea what -phile could possibly mean! Question, Muinarc: Do you make a distinction between a joke and a serious objection? If so, are you familiar with rhetorical forms that seem to be...

If necrophile means what we imagine it must, then why in Scrod's name would anyone want to be described as an audiophile? Do we really go to a CES trade show hoping to encounter Steve Guttenberg writhing on a Persian carpet with a Zana Deux Super pressed against his pelvis?

Has no one posted about the plethora of B-Stock on the ALO Warehouse site? The thread-specific search button seems not to be at the tops of pages any more, so I went back thirteen to scan for any mention and found none. I've wanted a pair of discounted Andromedas since they were first...

Thanks tons for that! The .RAR file didn't get flagged by Symantec, which is a quite spiffy thing. I still have to wait for final approval from Interior Tergiversations before installing the drivers. In the meantime, perhaps I'll grow a Dali-upcurled mustache.

Thanks for offering! I'll need a zipped file of the drivers in order to navigate the idiosyncrasies of corporate security, so expect a PM. In this way, iFi audio, you will make a noble contribution to the cause of sonic hedonism. White-collar grunts must find an escape from the monotony that...

Good to ken. How's that aforementioned "look" going, since I have precisely the same issue as technobear, and other iFi users must experience it as well?

Thanks, TB. I'll give the Old Chub a gyre. One thing that makes me hesitate is the slender poss that iFi will consider the issue and fix it. I want my next convo with IT to be our last on this top-ick.

Thanks for the validation. Has anyone else checked the .exe file using Essentials? After I visit the Woundos machine at my grillfiend's place, I'll open a ticket if I get the same result. If not, I'll do my best to alert iFi to the issue. It would be nice if I were able to use my iDSD at work...

Still, that could help to dissolve someone else's problem, in which case, I'd revel in the resolution vicariously. I agree that it can be irksome to an individual with hardware when IT peepholes err on the side of banishment. I most soitenly understand their channeling panic, however. (More...
