o.k., I admit I'm a little stumped here, what exactly is a "30k rig?" Like a $30,000 sound system, or something to do with 30k ohms, or......what?
Avatar 12:31am
fleep:

Nick - laptop plugged into powered speakers/subwoofer. Or Sony cans. And what is a 30k rig?
  12:31am
JakeGould:

I listen to it via a Sony ICF-M1000 desktop mono-radio via 91.1FM. And if it goes out, I just plug my iPhone into the dock—that is hooked up to AUX—and let that do the trick.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:31am
coelacanth:

yes,even on my old,13" laptop i could hear the stereo separation on this one! now with headphones it's dazzling!
so,at home i listen usually on 90.1;sometimes via internet but routed through my ancient amp & ancient-er speakers...but i usually hear your show on this laptop because i'm at my sister's house.
  12:32am

I listen on my mobile or on my computer. Don't get FMU's radio signal in Baltimore, I'm afraid.

Hello Nick! Kids!

I bought a used iTouch from a kid in my neighborhood for $50. I plug that into a stereo. Also listen on computer speakers while working which is what I'm doing now. Oh, and on my phone in the car. So many ways to FMU.

@NickName: The Sony ICF-M1000 is odd. It originally sold for like $200 but I got two of them for $40 a pop when Sony realized it was a bad idea. So it’s basically a cheap Sony radio but with a very nice speaker in a very nice case.

P-90 this is shure srh440.they came with something else i bought on ebay. they're decent,i guess. the ones i have at home are by koss- from around 1978. they still sound beautiful and have better volume,but the air in the ear cushions disappeared a long time ago!

  12:57am
P-90:

Almost everyone I new in the 70's had Koss headphones, coel. Back then even Sennheisers were a bit exotic. My actual stereo is in storage since the last time I moved, but I find I 'm pretty damned content listening to the FMU stream (and the BBC streams, etc) on a Mac laptop through the fab little Dragonfly AD converter (which I recommend as excellent bang-for-buck) into either the PSB-1 headphones (outrageously good for a few hundred bucks) at home or the venerable, stalwart Sony mdr's when out and about.
And may we ask, Nick, how you listen to the interwebs at home, and elsewhere?

  1:12am
P-90:

Claw: Have you ever tried the boric acid powder for roaches? It's non-toxic to people and pets, and it seems to prevent them from coming back, they seem to know it's there and avoid the area. I grew up in Manhattan, so I'm a lifetime roach-war veteran...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:15am
coelacanth:

if you get mango threads stuck in your teeth,it means you have at least 2 teeth that are next to each-other...it's a good sign.
Avatar 1:16am
Claw!:

P-90: Yeah, we put down lots of boric acid powder and diatomaceous earth in combination with the fumigating. We also got these discs that release some insect hormone that keeps em from reaching sexual maturity... We're hitting em with anything and everything. We ain't playin'.

I hear that for every mango thread you pull out, two more grow back in its place. Is this a true fact?

yes i was going to suggest diatomaceous earth, though i've never used it myself for that.

In 1983 or so I was driving across the country with my friend Marcus and a girl from our college who needed a ride to California. She was asleep in the back seat and Marcus and I were listening to Music for 18 Musicians on a cassette. When she woke up she said, "There's something wrong with the car. It's making a funny noise." We said, "No that's the stereo. It's Steve Reich." She said, "No, don't you hear that?" We said, "Yeah, it's Steve Reich on the stereo." The conversation continued on like this for quite a while.
