    I finished some Chicken Flautas an hour ago.

    You guys ever notice how all the Americanized Mexican food is all the same shit. Burritos, tacos, taquitos, flautas, etc. It's just bread wrapped around meat and cheese.

    On an unrelated note, I want to start easing myself into a vegitarian diet. But I think I'll keep eating salmon because I'm a homo sapien who can't empathise with these aquatic entities that breathe through gills.

    so I've got my Ubuntu laptop which runs dandy now. I plan on using it with the gamma1.5 as a DAC/pre directly into my power amp of choice. The other chain will be the Theta into a custom DAC that runs directly into a power amp.

    No comment on the speaker sound for now, but I will say it's really starting to open up. It gets pretty cold in this extension room, and I swear I can hear a burn in everytime start the system up. The woofer needs to be playing constantly to keep unfrigid and dynamic. I'll measure eventually.

    Americanized Mexican food comes down to basically, a burger.

    Seldom will you hear discada, filete al mojo de ajo or arrachera, ceviche de sierra, camarones culichi, tamales oaxaqueños, enchiladas suizas, and even among tacos, you will seldom see real tacos al pastor with a dude cutting the meat from a trompo (think gyros). It all comes down to a cheese burger inside a tostada. Just dice the lettuce and the tomatoes, crumble the ground beef.

    Salmon is awesome.

    You need something like glow plugs inside the cabinet --- as in diesel engines.

    (Amuses me that my car has glowplugs, here where the temperature never falls much below 80F. But hey, the Himalayas are but a few days drive away. I won't, but someone else might)

    You live in Chicago now, home of real deeeeeep dish pizza! Depending on your location in Chi-town, I personally recommend Lou Malnati's but I haven't lived in Chicago in 12 years (shit, I feel old now). The system and man cave look great!

    Cabinet needs some damping and eventually some isolation. Bass is not the most clear and that should tighten it up. even then would need to ship over my dual 15" subs to hit the subbass with authority

    You're living the dream, OJ. A library/music room with a fire place has been a desire of mine since I was about fourteen.

    You play guitar?
