Normally I work until 7:30 pm PST, but today I managed to get off early, and it's here! I will go play with it, take some pictures, and be back!

Okay, so this sucks. I was only able to take one picture. My camera decided to freak out NOW of all times. When I turn it on, the image is dark and tinted red. Here's the picture, though:  Just a few general impressions. Right off, it seemed to play cleaner at the louder listening levels. The sound can still fall apart a little bit in certain situations, but I'm sure that's the combination of poor room acoustics and the limitations of the speakers themselves. Needless to say, there's no scientific weight behind any of this. I'll just echo what I've heard other people say who've gone to separates. It seems to play cleaner at louder levels, with detail I hadn't heard before, and overall, just more authority. That said, I can't be positive it's not simply psychological. I wasn't really expecting a vast improvement in my medium-sized room, and I didn't get one. Just a bit better, but I'm happy with the difference so far. Oh, and for those who didn't know, I have the A1400-8 paired with an Integra DTC-9.8 via balanced XLR cables (thanks again, JohnK for finding the great price on the cables). Hopefully I can borrow my parents' camera this weekend and take more pictures.

Ha ha, one thing I forgot to do was recalibrate after switching the Onkyo with the A1400-8. Didn't have to change much, but a little. I just listened to another song I listened to in the last couple of days, and many times before. I've never heard it sound so clean and full. I think it must be because I'm able to play louder without being annoyed by distortion, and so some of the details that would have normally been lost to the ambient noise is now there. Maybe?

You are planning on conducting double-blind listening tests with your loved ones this entire week-end, right?

Are you mocking my lack of loved ones?
I don't have the gear to really make a test like that effective, anyway. See, this is why you needed to get one.

Oh, man, I just realized I haven't eaten all day. I guess I can take a break for my all-in-one breakfast/lunch/dinner.
