Oh man, this just makes me want to watch Terminator 2 again...

I have a bottle of Macallan 12 on my shelf owing to several friends' recommendations for getting into single malts. But recently I tried some Glenlivet 12 y.o. and was completely blown away. Very smooth and drinkable. IMHO.

+1 for pictures!

A Change of Seasons. Technically an EP, not an album.

Door knocking for me as well, from the starting of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. Also in Dream Theater's cover of Funeral for a friend/Love lies bleeding, in the later part of the song there's some keyboard playing that sounds like my phone ringing.

Any of you guys use foobar 0.9.5.? The spectrum analyser (?) at the bottom shows some pretty unusual patterns when the song goes into that trippy part:

Beat this. Yes, those are my own hands

I actually took this very turntable off a friend's hands several weeks ago. It's my first turntable as well so I can't give a very educated opinion on how good it is, but I managed to compare it to my parents' cheap Philips TT and the Thorens just blows it out of the water - the sound from the...

Lolcats ftw I think the monorail cat has to be my favourite...lolcat...saga? I don't know what you would call it.

Agreed; if anything I feel it makes them sound too similar to Within Temptation now. Not to take anything away from Annette, but I think the shoes might have been a tad too big/too different to fill. Quote: Originally Posted by robojack As much as I liked Tarja, I can understand...

The last time I went there, Stereo Electronics at Causeway Point stocked them as well as other headphones and related equipment. Jaben at the Adelphi is also another great store that he should drop by for non-Koss stuff.

I'd gladly give pacha a try. Here in Singapore we eat fish heads (in curry or soup) right down to the bone, eyeballs and all So I imagine a sheep head wouldn't be all too different (we also eat some rather unimaginable parts of the pig). And being Asian I'd heard of balut and mice wine...

Thanks for that, guys. rb67 - I appreciate the effort; my only concern is the comfort and not eardrum damage, I used the term 'penetration' in my earlier post more for comedic effect In the near future I'm going to borrow my friend's modded tri-flanges to get an idea of how it feels like in...

Is it actually possible to swap the tips on the ER20 like you do with the IEMs? I'm thinking about getting a pair but the stories about tri-flange penetration scare me a little bit

Tesla - Five Man Acoustical Jam Very fun and laid-back performance, decent sound quality.
