wow, real interesting – check the care factor.<\/p>\n
well, at least i’ve stuck with it – so yay me.<\/p>\n
and it’s pretty close to the new year too – if only i could be bothered going and working out when the first entry was…<\/p>\n
spending a lot of time at home – which is good for the lack of money expenditure, but i really feel like i should be accomplishing more – maybe i’ll have to hack some more instead of reading\/writing email – there’s a lot of it – and it takes time to go through. and write.. urrghhh… more to do….<\/p>\n
gotta write some more LA memberdb code – maybe later tonight.. who knows.<\/p>\n
we got a new amp, and things actually sound a *lot* better. NAD gear rocks – C320BEE amp, 50watt beast that would easily beat any lower brands 80 or 90 watt amps. Only $540, it sounds like it should cost a lot more. If you’re looking at surround gear – forget it unless you’re willing to spend *at least* $3,500 on the receiver – this NAD stereo amp blew surround gear costing over twice as much out of the water – it’s chalk and chocolate – the NAD being chocolate.<\/p>\n
I don’t think our 15year old KEF speakers are quite up to the same as modern day counterparts. They cost about $1,600 when we got them (and that’s a lot of money back then) – compared to the ~$1,200 B&W bookshelves (that’s bookshelf speakers, not some weird book storage\/speaker combo) i reckon i prefered the B&W sound a bit – but these are still good.<\/p>\n
we now have a remote for the amp too – so there’s yet another remote lying around – maybe we should get one of those combo things – could be quite useful, and means that we don’t have to find all of the others :)<\/p>\n
mmmm… Tool sounds good. lovin it.<\/p>\n
i now feel absolutely justified that stereo gear is worth spending money on :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
