^^^heh, must be something in the water at Oberlin -- two of my best clients are from there, happily married too!

This is a funny topic for me, because it puts into contrast what I think versus what I did: I went to Brown as an undergraduate, did an exchange program to Paris with Columbia, and went to graduate school at Harvard. My wife attended Yale. The virtues of such schools are well known, and I...

I voted New York, but my heart's in Minneapolis.

Soft Bulletin > Yoshimi ; although, the highs are higher w/Yoshimi (while the SB is more consistently excellent).

That movie inspired me to visit Japan with my wife. She used to work in Asia a lot and she found LiT very evocative of her experience in Tokyo. Our trip was magic. :thumbsup:

I see a lot of the classics are already represnted. I'll add, for more recent stuff: The Arcade Fire: Funeral Gordon Downie: Coke Machine Glow The Flaming Lips: The Soft Bulletin The Flaming Lips: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Emmylou Harris: Wrecking Ball Low Christmas :thumbsup: Low...

Hello, Goodbye Your Mother Should Know Please Please Me I Feel Fine Savoy Truffle

Another vote for a CORDA amp. I run Senn HD650s with a PREHEAD. It's nice.

1. Great post by Jan. Seriously, folks, he's a pleasure to deal with (but you do have to provide your own power cord). 2. Sunbyrne, I don't get the same anti-marriage vibe on the boards as you -- maybe folks are just jealous of your hobby-supportive wife? 3. I bought a CORDA w/o an...
