    Gee, I leave you guys for a month and I'm nearly 600 posts behind! Time to brew up a cup of coffee, throw on some Grados, and get to reading all that I've missed!

    Two random thoughts on this fine evening:   1. I sat down to do some relaxing listening tonight. I looked at my headphone options: plastic. plastic. weird polycarbonate. Then there was my Grado, with real metal and real wood and a thick, perfect-length cable that doesn't twist oddly. I love...
