i'm gonna do the j-disc at some point, but probably not for this trip. that sucks about the critically spaced omnis, i love listening on headphones and that would've been a treat. i'll try it out sometime to see if i can also thumb my nose at the naysayers...jason, i may take you up on that offer, are you around tomorrow or this week? maybe i'll shoot out to maryland's capital and we'll go grab a beer or something.
