Nate's Audiophillic Cornucopia of Illuminated Objects

This album consists of images which I have carefully uploaded to this damn website. Viewer discretion is advised. But if you think about it when is viewer discretion NOT advised? I mean, you can't view everything there is to see and some things you might see and then quick look away. That sounds like discretion to me.
Thumbnail for 5 point 1 is a pain - See what I mean? You're hosed no matter what. Without an architect on the payroll you might as well pack it in.
Thumbnail for Dolby 51 recommended - The engineers at Dubly Labs invented this cruel scheme for speaker placement to drive people who live in actual houses instead of recording studios absolutely fucking batshit. Hey, I would love to enter the room through a trap door in the floor as much as anyone, but it's just not in the cards is it? No, instead 9 out of 10 homes in the world are going to have a big damn doorway in the way of one or more of those speakers. Oh sure, you could sit with the speakers within arm's reach but who would want to? I mean, nearfield ain't all that hot.
Thumbnail for Dolby 51 Nates - When you have a smallish room and don't feel like making it feel smaller by sitting in the middle of it you have to compromise the Dubly 5.1 setup to honor the voice of WAF inside all of us, no matter how cruelly beaten down she may be. You know you want the couch right up against the wall don't you? Don't listen to Ethan Winer and his horror stories of bass buildup and such, he's got that big cavernous room anyway, he can put his damn couch in the middle of it. Meanwhile, us little people have to have the couch against the wall, I'm sorry but thems just the breaks. So what has to give? The damned surrounds that's what. You have to bodge them up like a pair of oversized headphones on chairs. Half-ass! Aaarrgh! I can't help it!
Thumbnail for sunn2 - Basket-faced medieval peasant life and modern day crushing doom metal, what could be more appropriate?
Thumbnail for sunn1 - Hair, wood grain or smeary ink? You be the judge. This album is one for promoting negative neighbor relations.
Thumbnail for SWA 1801front BIG - I dream of owning a big empty barn in the middle of the sticks and having one, (hell, two) of these things in there shaking the dust out from between the boards. Cripes, the bass on my Mackie HR-824s is so fat and tight I can imagine how heavy this sucker is for the larger scale experience.
Thumbnail for Suet Battle 3 - Misspeled wurds mkae for good humoure.
Thumbnail for cover - I don't know what you are supposed to call it, but I like it. Contains one of the most beautiful sad songs ever made, "Thy Hand Belinda When I Am Laid In Earth". I liked this rendition better than others. You can't sing this shit too fast, it sounds rushed. Slow and low is the way to go.
Thumbnail for genesis 4Genesis Bits - When you care enough to send the very best.
Thumbnail for Sonic Rock 2 - Order your very own Sonicrock today! Ask me how!
Thumbnail for UX-1Web Page - This thing costs a fortune and plays most everything.
Thumbnail for X-01Web Page - This thing costs a fortune and just plays SACDs
