I'm in for this. I can bring: Sennheiser HD650 Bottlehead Crack w/Speedball upgrade Audeze LCD-2 Schiit Bifrost Schiit Lyr Fostex TH-x00 Maybe a little Bourbon????

Just to clear it up... FKA twigs is just one female singer/songwriter. But yes still one of the better records released last year.

Couldn't have said this better myself. His asinine behavior made me stop caring about his cousin Carissa and his friend Ben (I still love Death Cab though).

  I'll throw on Ray - Jolene and toss back a few ounces of this Angel's Envy for you.     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AbaRZsPEIg   I'd give this a shot. It's a short in studio show of 4 or 5 tracks. Gives you an idea of the sampling skills that the guy has.

  Sylvan Esso - Sylvan Esso    Such a wonderful first effort from this duo. Amelia Meath's (of Mountain Man) indie vocals over the electropop beats of Nick Sanborn (of Megafaun) may be one of the best substitutes for The Postal Service if we never hear from them again.

Music is subjective, I guess. A lot of good records on there but I would have definitely included: Spoon - They Want My Soul TV on the Radio - Seeds The War on Drugs - Lost In The Dream Sylvan Esso - Sylvan Esso (as much electronic music as you have, I'm really really surprised this wasn't...

Temples - Sun Structures

Alt-J's new single. Like nothing they've done before. Caters to an American audience. http://m.soundcloud.com/alt-j/left-hand-free

Real Estate - Atlas Glass Animals -Zaba Future Islands - Singles

The War on Drugs - Lost in the Dream Beck - Morning Phase Favorite records released in 2014 so far.

Rodrigo and Gabriela - 9 Dead Alive   via NPR's First Listen   A pair of extremely talented guitar players.

  Temples - Sun Structures  ......   One of my favorite records so far in 2014.   @Soundsgoodtome you'll probably like these next two:     Sohn - Tremors     Tycho - Awake

Marc Broussard - Carencro

White Denim - Corsicana Lemonade Man Man - On Oni Pond Haim - Days Are Gone

  Klingande - Jubel  Klingande - Punga   I want to hear more from these guys.

Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City       Volcano Choir - Repave       Disclosure - Settle       Still binge listening to my favorite 2013 records...

Damn... no idea how I didn't know that these exist. Props for the find!

    San Fermin - San Fermin    This is such a captivating record that doesn't get enough respect. Another great album from 2013.

I've got the LCD 2s and I'm definitely coming to the next meet. Hopefully, I'll have the HE-560s too sometime in April.

    Jagwar Ma - Howlin   ^ I'd have to say it's one of the better albums of 2013.

Another +1 on the phono preamp. I agree with Eee Pee on mjolnir size.

+1 for sure

Actually the mic/controls are actually on the right cable which I haven't experienced the same sensation on. Its so bizarre.

Hrmmm preproman I've always thought about doing this...you have anything capabale of ripping their SACDs? My PS3 is one model to late. My wife works at the Main branch, I should have her pick some music up. Have any jazz recordings that you'd recommend that you've picked up there before?

There's a decent band called Glass Animals but that's a shot in the dark as I wasn't there lol.
