  1. Just moved to a new place last week, got my work/listening place started. Pretty streamlined, component-wise.

    L to R:

     

    Fluorescent Grey - Ambiente;

     

    $150 crosley turntable my gf got me for x-mas (audio-technica cartridge) which I need to buy a phono stage for-- it's no rega but it's user adjustable and doesn't sound bad at all;

     

    Grado HF-2 and Sennheiser HD-650 headphones (sitting on a teacup (?) holder from bed bath & beyond which works perfectly as a headphone stand);

     

    Audioengine A5 monitors;

     

    Headphones and monitors running from an Apogee Duet (first gen, firewire) I/O and DAC/headphone amp unit;

     

    Apogee Duet is fed lossless files (usually) from a new 27" iMac;

     

    Little Samsung external burner for ripping CDs;

     

    A kaleidoscope thingy;

     

    And I really need to get new curtains for this room

     

    Is that an Apogee Duo? Was thinking of getting one for live guitar/vocals - any good?

  2. my down-filled winter jacket leaks down feathers through the outer material and attracts all manner of fluff and hair/pubes. it wasn't cheap either! nothing works to get them off. :angry:

     

    I had a duvet that did that when I was a youngster. I have to say though, I had years of pleasure just trying to grab the tiniest tips of the feather with my nails and slowly pulling the feather out, slowly in case it broke - it was like the pleasure you get from pulling out what you think is a small bogey, then it pulls an entire streak of hidden snot from the back of our your throat.

  3. I've been doing it for a while now. Definitely less stressed than I used to be. I got into because I accidentally meditated without realising it for a fortnight when I was ill and in a lot of pain, and something amazing happened. I've trying to get back to that state for a while now but I think I'd need to go on a retreat to be able to dedicate a big chunk of time to it.
