Yeah that's my buddy's bass pick, I play without a pick. But I don't slap and pop enough to play any fishbone on bass :-(
 
Funny, most amazing thing my PonoPlayer might have accomplished so far is turning that crappy 1992 Roland PA with mismatched PA speakers into a powerhouse of clarity.
 
I had 24bit Zep playing so loud and so clear the other night it was astounding. It was up there for the loudest music volume level I've ever been near, well, clear volume. And I've toured with rock bands, so I know loud.
 
Something about the way PonoPlayer removes distortion from every layer of playback leaves the signal so clean you can literally shake the boards off the wall without pain in the ears if your PA is up to it. I never knew mine was, since it was fed the usual mud and digital crud for the last 20 years.

Looks to have given a whole new life to the Roland mixer

Just picked this cracking little DAC up from ebay for £36 in mint condition,
sounds very nice with my Audio Technica phones,not much info on it but it
uses the so called "Miracle DAC'" AK4396 by Asahi Kasei,who ive noticed
is supplying the chip for the new AK380(AK4490x2).

I love, love, the M50s. I'm thinking of upgrading to the M50xs because the cable on mine is way too long. I'm thinking of purchasing the blue version though I'm wondering, is the secondary color on it tan or more orange. I'd buy it if it was tan as I hate orange. :P

The best techniques ever invented for any instrument. Man do I love that sound of some proper slapping and popping!

FOSTEX HP-P1 / B&W P7 / IPHONE / SUMMER

 
Great pic. 
 
By the way, where I come from, 'summer' reads extremely unbearably hot. To put it very mildly, that is.
But an 'English Summer' does sound (and look) jolly good, I say. 
 
Cheers
