Was the audience nice at yours? Mine was insane, people were yelling and hooting and shouting random inappropriate Japanese words when Miyamoto (or whoever, don't remember) was on stage. Shit was funny as hell, but kinda disrespectful. Is your 3DS Japanese? Or just unlocked? |

For those curious, here's two pictures of the pamphlet (they didn't allow photography or recording, unfortunately): [1] | [2].

And yeah yours is different from mine. At mine we got a black folded pamphlet, and a lot of emphasis on Skyward Sword because it didn't come out yet (a teaser at the end, and stations set up where we could play the demo, as well as play Ocarina 3D and the DSi Four Swords port). And no encores! Yours looks different, but it doesn't look longer. I am not at home atm so I can't give a picture of the pamphlet, so I will share someone else's so you can see them then take them down. *snip* And I would have really liked to buy something else there, but the lines were too insane! On top of there being a lot of people (around 2703, that's how many seats are in the Pantages), there were only two cashiers slowly punching in numbers on iPads. Couldn't be in that hours long line for too long because being in Hollywood drives me nuts. And they sold out of non-XXXL black T shirts too quickly, but I doubt I would have worn it anyway, so whatev. I would have liked a poster of this really pretty picture in the pamphlet of all of the Links ever though (unfortunately excepting the glourious star of the CDi games): *snip* This picture doesnt do it justice and it's way too darkened, but it's the best I can find.

I personally feel that going to one of the 25th Anniversary concerts feels more "prestigious" in a sense, considering they were meant as special one-off events (and the fact that Koji Kondo turned up at the concerts as well), but I'm more than satisfied from what I did experience. There were even a small number of cosplayers in attendance.
I see your point about the rowdy audience at the L.A. 25th Anniversary Symphony, but that thankfully didn't occur when I went to see the Symphony of the Goddesses.

Yea, now I appreciate it even more, and playing SS early was fun .
At the time I thought others would get a better deal since they said they would extend the 2012 versions of the concert, though... And was a little peeved that they wouldn't come back to Los Angeles. But that's past. And we had cosplayers too! There were, 2 or 3 Ocarina Links (all girls but I think that's a thing in Zelda cosplaying), two guys with Minish caps, and a handful of cute kids doing Four Swords (I remember a Green, Red and Purple. Not sure if Blue and Shadow were there and I just missed them). They all looked really cool And thank you for using the new quotes, I'm still trying to learn the dynamic BBCode. |

People like to replace the NJM4556 because it costs 60 cents and they think that means it's crappy, but it's dumb. That opamp is specifically designed to drive headphones--it's one of the few opamps that measures well into loads below 150 ohms, and it's extremely high-current (70mA). The AD797 manages 50mA but not into headphone loads I'm sure. These days, I pretty much don't trust a DAC or amp to be decent unless it's made by me... or Violectric, Benchmark or Centrance. Working on putting together an Objective2 and ODAC combo.

i've already talked to dsnuts and kiteki on head-fi (i know head-fi isn't what it used to be 4 years ago, but there ARE members who have valuable knowledge and you have to seek them out) and they know fully well about these kind of things, and both agree it wouldn't hurt to try the AD797 and see how it goes since it has a nice internal layout. did i take a gamble on this DAC/AMP made in china? i sure did! but for 105 shipped with usb/optical/coaxial input, the ability to roll op amps, a headphone amp, and to use it as a DAC with the CS4398 chip if i chose to try another external amp sits well with me. |

For that price, I see your point. While I'd love to have a DAC1, they just aren't anywhere in my price range!
One of the things that keeps me from trying out Chinese DAC/amp units is output impedance--it's never publicized, so I don't know if it's going to work properly with my headphones (48ohms). Centrance, Benchmark and Violectric always publish the figures (even though Centrance units default to 10ohms, you can get them to mod it to 1ohm).

Just got my copy of Catherine today to take advantage of a massive price drop by a local retailer. Played the first 2 nights and already got my behind handed to me on the "boss" of the 2nd one. Damn this game is going to be brutal.
