Wise Words from the "Old Ones" of New Mexico
There's a certain amount of serendipity that offers itself to any person who works on staff. But I have to be open to it, to be able to acknowledge that chance connection or a life lesson is often garnered during a pause rather than while railing to meet a deadline. This is my pause.
While writing an entry on Robert Coles' book, The Old Ones of New Mexico, for our particulars page for "The Inner Lives of Children" I re-read a profile about Señor and Señora Gallegos, owners of a small rural market known simply as "The Store." I was looking for quotes on the relationship between children and their grandparents. What I discovered were threads of wisdom for living a virtuous life as a businessperson during these economic times.
Our series on the spiritual and moral aspects of the economic downturn is called "Repossessing Virtue." Perhaps we here got that title wrong. Perhaps virtue isn't a matter of 'possession' at all but a series of tiny, indiscrete moments of character that emanates from within. You can no more own it than you can cage an electron. In my bones, I know that Señor Gallegos understands this better than most:
"The people near here like to come by every day. Some mothers send their husbands to the store each morning before breakfast. No wonder I have to be ready for them; they expect me to know by heart what they will be asking for. And why not? After all these years I'd be of no use if I couldn't predict what my customers want and need. Still, with age one has to think a little harder. So, about six-thirty I am picturing the men, and looking at the shelves to see that I have what they'll come for. Usually they don't even have to talk much when they enter. I look at them and go for the milk or some cereal or some cans—and of course, I have the doughnuts near the coffee. They put the money for the doughnuts in the glass jar; that is separate. The rest I ring up.
"We charge more than the big markets in the city. We must. We don't get to buy at the low prices a chain of stores can make the wholesale people set. Maybe one day there will be no stores like ours left. I apologize all the time to my customers. I tell them that if they would only drive twenty miles, they could do better. I know that some storekeepers like me have a fine time bleeding their customers—the people who can't travel or are in a hurry for something. But it is not in me to run that kind of business. I am too old to do a dance because I squeezed an extra nickel here, and a quarter there, out of some neighbors of mine. I would have nightmares, thinking of what they wished me: a long stretch in Hell. And I would belong there!
"The older I become, the more I think of others. Have I been a good husband and father? Will my friends think well of me when the casket with me in it moves down the street toward the cemetery? What will my cousins and my nephews and nieces and neighbors and customers think when they stand there and see me put to rest: 'He is a scoundrel who took away from the poor and cheated people by touching the scale with his hand and raised prices far beyond what was fair?' or 'He did the best he could, and tried to be honest, and had a smile on his face most of the time?' I cannot say for sure; maybe I have been more thoughtless and rude than I will ever know. When God gives you the extra time he has given me, it may be because he expects you to examine yourself very closely, and think about what you have done wrong. I know that when I was younger I worried about money: I wanted there to be some for our old age. Back then I thought: If we live to be sixty-five, or seventy, we will be lucky, and we will no doubt be weak and so our son will have to run the store all by himself. But we lived longer, and here I am, still opening the store, so that my son can have a decent sleep, and see his children off to school.
"I didn't grow rich; nor will my son. He would like to make more money, I know. He resembles me: he is torn between the desire to make money for his wife and children, and a great loyalty to our customers. How can you take more than is due you—especially when you know you are lucky to have the store and live comfortably as you do, and many of your customers aren't at all in the same shoes? I have no answers; I wish everyone in the world had enough to eat, good clothes, and a roof that doesn't leak over their heads. I tell our priest all the time that it is no joy, taking money from people who don't have much, and who work so hard for the little they do have. He slaps me on the back and tells me that it is not me or Señora Gallegos or our son who are the enemies of the poor. He tells me about other stores he knows of, from his past work: the owners are politicians, and they push the people around and take every cent they can get. I feel good, hearing him speak well of me, but I still worry: God must know that I have had my moments of greed.
"There have been people I have not liked, and they have pushed me hard: Why do you charge such high prices? Why do you try to bleed us? I have tried to answer: it is trying and lonely running a store like this one, and if I give everything away, I will have to beg myself, rather than run the store. But I can hold firm; no one will knock me down, not when I think I am in the right. Sometimes I feel ready to fight; and sometimes I have said to myself, 'Take all you can get, because they are the mean ones, and they will only respect a man who is as mean as they are.' And you know, that is true: there are people on this earth who have contempt for a man who tries to be generous; he is seen as a fool, or up to some clever trick. That is God's way—to put many different kinds of people here, and let us all prove ourselves to him."

He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely young daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.
Imagine if Adam Lanza was alive
He would be under intense costly security.
He would be subject to all kinds of costly mental exams.
Defense attorneys would be scrambling for a chance to represent him. How they would sleep at night is beyond me.
His costly trial wouldn't take place for a long, long time.
Defense would argue for a change in venue, that he couldn't possibly get a fair trial in
Networks would be tripping over each other trying in an attempt to get a potential interview.
Defense attorneys would try to create sympathy by exploiting the media.
We would hear incessantly about his terrible childhood.
Blame would be placed everywhere but on Lanza.
Lanza would try to manipulate the system by claiming an insanity defense.
Taxpayers would fund every aspect of his existence while the wheels of justice move painstakingly slowly.
The death penalty, though the obvious punishment, would not be possible. Earlier this year,
That means
If Lanza was still alive and the death penalty was in effect, anti-death penalty weenies would be crying out that he should not be executed.
They would even cite that lethal injection was cruel and inhumane. Thus, appeals would go on interminably, meaning the evil executioner would live on thanks to American taxpayers.
I'm glad the evil Lanza is dead. I just wish he had taken his life before he went on a rampage against so many innocents, including children.

Mirai Nikki (未来日記, The Future Diary) is the story of Amano Yukiteru who doesn't really like to company of people and prefers to be a "bystander" to life. He uses his cell phone as a diary and records the things he sees around him during his life, making him a bystander. Yuki has one friend that's the god of time known as Deus Ex Machina. One day Deus decides to make a game to determine who the successor to his throne would be. Though this isn't just some regular game, it's a survival game. Yuki's diary turns into a device that predicts the future, this also happens to 11 other opponents. He realizes he can't win on his own, and decides to team up with Gasai Yuno, another diary holder and a very intelligent girl who is psychotically in love with him. With the wheels of this "game in motion, last person remaining alive will become the new god of time and space itself; Deus Ex Machina.
Mirai Nikki is currently one of my favorite shonen series. The story is pretty unique and watching the psychotic love Yuno feels for Yuki is very entertaining. Overall this manga is a very entertaining read, and I'm going crazy waiting on it's monthly releases. Chapters are scanlated by 4chan's /a/, so sometimes they add meme pages making fun of certain parts of the manga, which are always funny.

|In response to Re: Extending Vertical Height of Closet Bend
: Hi,
: I am having a cast iron DWV system being installed in a new addition. The addition is on a slab on grade. The plumber has used a Mission type rubber coupling to extend the vertical height of the closet bend with a small length of cast iron pipe. Plumbing is all below grade in gravel.
: My question is this acceptable?
: Does the closet bend come in an 18" height? What is the maximum allowed vertical height and what issues might you have with a slightly higher height?
: Based on my measurements, taken from the center of the closet bend (part feeding into the main line), this size might just make it. Worst case measurement with finished tile floor is 19 3/8". The closet bend feeds directly into the main line......no vertical drops or offsets.
: Thank you,
Personally rather then a Cast Iron bend although they come in various lengths I prefer a Lead D lead bend as it has the mass for a quieter flush and so easy to repair and its smooth interior prevents anything from sticking to cause a stoppage PLUS it is a longer radius then most other materials.
The brass floor flange can be easily adjusted in case the tile guy screws up slightly as far as off setting and adding length plus Lead piping is impervious to most house hold chemicals.
A lead bend with a brass ferrule can be readily attached top cast Iron by a poured joint or MJ or approved couplings
The probability of a stoppage is nil as the CI is probably 4" or even if the guy cut corners 3" still no problem as most toilets today that are installed legally are 1.6 GPF with with in the FU value of the soil line.
Another point a lot of codes do allow the use of a 1/4 Bend or short sweep when going from horizontal to vertical.
Even a Cast Iron 1/4 bend is still a better job then any PVC 90 degree fitting.
The 18" depending on local codes should be fine.
Doesnt a soil stack drop more then 18"?
Normally I use a mission coupling when going from one sized pipe to another like a vent increaser.
Mission couplings are quality Fernco is another story.
Many unskilled folks use Fernco couplings as they can cheat on measurements and allow the flexible rubber connection to make up for their lack of plumbing skills by leaving a large gap between the piping arrangements.

Great Colour. !!
Verified Purchase
Great Colour. !!
I used the Naturtint first and then tried this when I had regrowth. They both seem to be excellent. I love the really natural looking colour they both give me. This will be the one I re buy , but just because it is the cheapest. They also have my hair looking curly again instead of frizzy. Can't believe how much better they are in every way compared to the ordinary retail ones. Definitely win/win !!

Just leave it on longer than it says - maybe 10-20 minutes longer. My hair is long and curly, so I needed two boxes. But it is GREAT stuff. Looks really natural.
Great, natural-looking colour

I decided to try this instead of paying my hairdresser 10 times as much money to colour my hair. I think for the price it does a really good job. Colouring your own hair blonde is always fraught with danger, but this brand seems to be gentle and didn't produce horrible yellow over-bleached hair like I've had in the past with the chemical-filled dyes. It has very little smell which makes for a plasant change. The mixing can get a little messy and inexact but it's not a big problem. I like the fact that you can mix only half and just do your roots, then save the other half for later.
Good Product
Posted by Reviewer1761602 on Nov 19, 2011
I mix this colour with 8N for a shade I like but it does lighten your hair more and more over time.
Very pleasant
Posted by Reviewer1474253 on Feb 17, 2012
My mom is using this color and really likes the haircolor itself. Says that it allows her not to wash the hair too often, gives nice shine and covers grey hair very well. The color lasts 3-4 weeks. It's just a pity, that this color is often out of stock.
Best hair color I've ever used
Posted by Reviewer2079761 on Aug 14, 2009
Standing in the bathroom for 40 minutes waiting for the color to set had always been a miserable experience when I was using drugstore hair color. Herbatint has no ammonia fumes so it lets me breathe even in the winter months when I have all the windows closed. The color is better too. It doesn't get brassy after a while like the big name brands do. I buy it for myself and a friend so we can get free shipping. We love it!
Posted by Ann23Maree on Mar 01, 2014
I just love the colour and noone has noticed that I have put a new colour in as it looks so close to my original hair colour. The product is so refreshing to use without a feeling of harmful chemicals that would penetrate my scalp. I am looking forward to using this again very soon. It also makes me look so much younger and alive...thank you very much for your research on safe permanent hair colours.
Wow - great product and colour
Posted by AIM-FOR-GOOD-HEALTH on Mar 15, 2016
I used this product now and then for a a few years and it did make my hair look lovely. However, it has colouring agents in it which are suspect - which is the case for ALL permanent hair colours sadly. It is NOT totally natural. Please do your research on this one. You can go to EWG's Skin Deep website to research many products for their safety. What you put in your hair gets absorbed into your bloodstream for good or bad. I have changed to using Rainbow Henna and am delighted with the results. (Feel free to visit my page for more reviews by clicking on my username.)
Good colour

Good colour - very natural and looks really honey blond as it is written on the box.
Great product and company
Posted by Reviewer2537448 on Mar 29, 2009
I've been using Herbatint hair color products for years, and find them greatly superior to other products on the market. The color is more natural, and better for my hair. I like the layout for the product offering from iHerb. Excellent selection and prices, and most of all, they delivered exactly what was promised when promised.

Many of you have been asking, and now it is finally time to start renovating or reseeding your lawns.
Many people in Kentucky want a bluegrass lawn, however, the best turf grass for us is actually fescue. You can plant the turf-type fescues if you want a small bladed grass, or if you are like me and want the toughest lawn possible, the straight Kentucky 31 fescue is just fine.
I am weird, I guess, but I like the wide blades.
Preventing Grass Tetany:
As spring approaches and grass begins to grow, grazing livestock may experience a forage-related problem known as grass tetany, grass staggers, lactation tetany, or hypomagnesaemia.
Grass tetany is a metabolic disorder caused by reduced magnesium levels in the animal's blood.
As we have warmer days, everyone starts thinking about spring and summer activities.
4-H is certainly no exception, and as they happen, watch for photos and results from various clubs and events.
The 4-H Young Riders are certainly gearing up to be busy over the next six months with activities ranging from quiz bowl to horse camp and sponsoring local events.
The first activity that is open to the entire community is a fundraiser.
This is some good information for the weather we have been having.
The 4-H Teen Conference is the statewide leadership conference for high school members in Kentucky.
This year, the conference will be held June 9-12, on the University of Kentucky campus.
During the conference, delegates get to experience campus life as well as make new friends from across the state.
Highlights during the week include electing state officers, attending the state fashion revue and performing arts troupe performance, attending tracks and workshops, meeting with college representatives and attending two dances.
Do you have problems with fire blight, black spot, powdery mildew, Fusarium wilt, early blight, and late blight? If this is the case, plant disease-resistant varieties this year!
Sure, old-time favorites are what you are used to, but try something different with them this year.
Mail-order catalogs promise a bountiful harvest of fruits and vegetables without much work, but we all know that isn't how it works.
However, there is one thing that we can do easily that will save us a lot of hassle this summer: variety selection.
Mid-to-late March is an ideal time to plant your cool season or spring garden.
Potatoes, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, onions, peas and many other crops can be planted this month.
Lettuce can also be planted. However, you will want to cover it with remay fabric (tobacco canvas).
If you haven't started cole crops (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower etc.) seedlings yet, you should just buy the plants in a few weeks from a trustworthy nursery. This will save you time and trouble unless you are growing a great deal of it.
Hopefully the worst of winter is over, and everyone can catch up on all of the activities that had to be postponed.
Washington County 4-H has rescheduled the 4-H Chili Supper for Tuesday, March 18, 5-8 p.m. at the Extension Office in Springfield. Tickets can still be purchased at the door.
Proceeds go to the 4-H Camp scholarship program to help youth attend summer camp.
We have had several inquiries about the future of industrial hemp and this is what the University of Kentucky College of Ag has given us on their status of industrial hemp.
Many in the CAFE community have been receiving requests for information about hemp lately.
Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture James Comer has pioneered the Kentucky Farm License Plate Program, allowing Kentucky FFA and 4-H to directly benefit from the sale of "Ag Tags."
When a person purchases a Kentucky Farm license plate, they have the opportunity to donate $10, which is divided equally between Kentucky FFA, Kentucky 4-H and Kentucky Proud.
Farmers can make the voluntary donation of $10 when renewing their farm license plates at the county clerk's office in March.

Very cute and comfy
"This shoe is very cute & comfortable- even for such a thin heel. My only issue is the strap is elastic & you can't adjust the tightness of it. I'm going to see if it's possible to adjust the elastic to make it slightly tighter."

Costa Rica hangs its jaunty Panama hat on two things: eco-tourism and adventure sports.
It helps when more than a quarter of your country is protected rainforest with more biodiversity than USA and Europe combined, and the rest is a jaw-dropping combo of bubbling volcanoes, Pacific surf beaches and laid-back towns like Quepos and Sarapiqui. Costa Rica tours are all about nature putting on a show –you'll quickly become a pro at spotting keel-billed toucans in the cloud forests of Monteverde or listening out for the distant whoop of white-faced capuchins – but really it's the pace of life here that gets you. 'Hustle' and 'bustle' aren't really in Costa Rica's vocab. Pretty much what you'd expect from a country's whose unofficial motto is pura vida (the pure life).

While tipping isn't mandatory in Costa Rica, rounding up the bill and leaving spare change at restaurants and cafes is generally standard practice. 500 colones should be sufficient.
Costa Rica's cities and tourist centres have internet access available in internet cafes and hotel lobbies. Internet access is less available in rural and remote areas.
Mobile phone coverage is generally good in Costa Rica's cities and metropolitan areas, although expect limited coverage in remote or mountainous areas. Ensure you have global roaming activated with your carrier if you wish to use your phone while in Costa Rica.
Costa Rica's toilets are a mixture of flushable toilets and squat toilets, so be prepared to encounter both. Carry your own supply of toilet paper and soap as these aren't always provided.
Coconut drink = 250 CRC
Can of soft drink = 450 CRC
Bottle of beer = 1000 CRC
Basic lunch = 2000 CRC
Sit down dinner in a restaurant = 5000-7500 CRC
Although tap water is considered safe to drink in Costa Rica's cities, it's probably a good idea to avoid drinking tap water in Costa Rica. For environmental reasons, try to avoid bottled water. Ask your leader where filtered water can be found as some hotels provide this. Remember to peel fruit and vegetables before eating and avoid ice in drinks.
Major credit cards are accepted by most large shops, hotels and restaurants, although smaller vendors and market stalls often only accept cash.
ATMs are easily found in the large cities and airports, although are less common in rural and remote areas. When travelling out of the city, come prepared by having enough cash as ATMs aren't always an option.
Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.
For more information on insurance, please go to: Travel Insurance

Responsible Travel
Intrepid is committed to travelling in a way that is respectful of local people, their culture, local economies and the environment. It's important to remember that what may be acceptable behaviour, dress and language in your own country, may not be appropriate in another. Please keep this in mind while travelling.
Top responsible travel tips for Costa Rica
- Be considerate of Costa Rica's customs, traditions, religion and culture.
- For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water instead.
- Always dispose of litter thoughtfully, including cigarette butts.
- When bargaining at markets, stay calm, be reasonable and keep a smile on your face. It's meant to be fun!
- Learn some local language and don't be afraid to use it - simple greetings will help break the ice.
- Shop for locally made products. Supporting local artisans helps keep traditional crafts alive.
- Refrain from supporting businesses that exploit or abuse endangered animals.
- Please ask and receive permission before taking photos of people, including children.
- When on community visits or homestays, refrain from giving gifts or money to locals.
- Admire coral while diving and snorkelling, but never remove coral from a reef or buy coral items from markets. Coral belongs in the sea.

The ASICS Gel Kayano 20 is a premium, daily running, support shoe designed for a moderate to severe overpronated foot motion.
The ASICS Gel Kayano 20 is a tried and true trainer with plenty of support, a plush ride and a lasting heritage. This premium shoe utilizes top of the line upper technologies to ensure a fit customized to your foot, while a supportive platform provides the stability you need without sacrificing a silky smooth ride. Look no further if you desire lavish comfort in a high mileage trainer.
Model Number:
Weight: 11.3 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (30mm), Forefoot (20mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
Comments: Asics' pricing is out of control. As good as Kayanos are, they are not $40 to $50 more shoe than a pair of Adrenalines or Wave Inspires, just to name two comparable support shoes.
From: Scott, Atlanta, GA, USA
Comments: The Kayano 20 is an improvement over the previous model (Kayano 19). The toebox is larger than previous versions and seems broke in right out of the box - put 25 miles on shoes and no issues.
From: Smithville, Missouri, United States

"These shoes look absolutely adorable on and are very comfortable! I recently recovered from a broken ankle and was apprehensive about wearing wedges again, but I've had no problems with discomfort in these shoes. From reading some of the other reviews before buying them, I decided to buy them a half size smaller than I normally wear. I usually wear a 7 or 7 1/2, but I ordered these in a 6 1/2. I'm glad I did, because like some of the other reviews said, the back strap is soft and stretches easily and will slip off of your ankle in your normal size. This is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Other than that I have no complaints and I'm happy with them."

Parasta kokojyväpastaa
Posted by alennuskoodi on Jan 09, 2014
Tämä on parasta koskaan kokeilemaani kokojyväpastaa. Kannattaa ostaa nimenomaan tätä ohutta Linguine-versiota. Spaghetti versiosta tulee hieman limaista koska keittoaika on pidempi.
an excellent whole wheat linguini
Posted by Reviewer1800309 on Mar 28, 2013
I prefer this to the DeLallo's whole wheat spaghetti. This is my favorite pasta these days. I suggest serving with a sauce made with freshly sliced & crushed Roma tomatoes.

Phil Kessel's New Stick
January 27 2011 08:24AM
I think hockey equipment is pretty interesting, especially sticks. The hockey stick seems simple enough but really there's an endless amount of variation in how players prepare their gear. Some players like big curves, some small. Some players like big toe curves as opposed to mid curves. Some players tape huge knobs to the top of their shafts (if you're waiting for a dick joke it's not coming) and then there's Phil Kessel who does the "Candy Cane":
Kessel's been doing the candy cane to the shaft of his stick for a while and I always kind of wondered: he's sponsored by Bauer and Bauer has to pay the NHL to have their logo be visible on players' sticks. It kind of stands to reason that Bauer would want kids to see that Phil Kessel uses a Bauer stick especially given that he plays for the Leafs and is thus a pretty popular player in the lucrative Golden Horseshoe.
This year started, along with Bauer's push in marketing their Supreme TotalONE stick, and I noticed something:
No candy cane. Where'd the candy cane go? Surely Phil Kessel didn't give up on something he's been doing his whole life when it comes to sticks. I filed this away as a curiousity and then last Saturday night at Real Sports I saw a rack of game used Toronto Maple Leafs' sticks. One of them was Phil Kessel's:
Notice the thin lines? The stick was prepared with Bauer's GripTac material, a thin clear grippy rubber coating, in the exact same candy cane swirl as Kessel's usual tape job. It wasn't a case of him removing the tape from a shaft and having the grip material come off, it was clearly made that way.
This isn't something available to consumers from Bauer, even through their iD system which lets you customize pretty much anything you want on their one piece composite sticks.
While searching for images it seems that Kessel has a few TotalONEs that are taped up so I'm guessing Bauer is still working on this spiral grip pattern and Kessel sometimes goes back to a "traditional" stick. The picture above is from the Carolina game on Monday and this is from the Tampa game on Tuesday:
Just something I thought was interesting.
I have the candy cane tape job on the one stick I have that doesn't have the sticky grip material on the outside. The other 2 have the sticky grip and I just don't know why anyone would tape over the grip. Habits are habits I guess
January 27 2011, 09:31AM
Any stats on how many goals he's scored with each stick?
January 30 2011, 10:22AM
Just checked out the Bauer page, and in the ID System - you can in fact select "Corner Tac Spiral" which is the candy cane effect.
Pretty awesome too. I find doing the candy cane on the stick messes with my grip, when I slide my had down the shaft (dirty, I know) - or lower my grip for face-offs. The Corner Tac is amazing though.

Pros: It's like an E9 in your pocket, with lower output impedance, a crossfade feature, a boost to counter sub-bass roll off, for just $30 more!
Cons: Slim, but not the easiest to use from within jeans pockets. Bass boost is subtle. Vs cheaper amps, small improvement for easy-to-drive headphones
Here's my long-delayed E12 review on an early pre-order model.
I waited to get a good feel with many songs before posting this, and a good feel for how the amp affects the sound presentation. I tested it with my standard playlist to get a reference point of view, but you'll see references to other songs sprinkled throughout the review that I think are relevant for illustration purposes. This is mostly a subjective review because I have few tools but my own ears, but I hope I provide enough data for others to make their own conclusions.
I tested mostly with my AKG Q701 headphones, because they are my primary headphones and notorious for their performance variability with different amps, and I also tested with my Etymotic ER-6i, because they have a remarkably flat frequency response through most of the range.
Build Quality:
Extremely nice. Think "Apple Unibody Macbook Pro" nice. The external shell is made up of 3 main parts: a solid, black, matte finish brushed metal tube, and two matching end caps. The only visible screws are two on the bottom piece. The seams between the end caps and main section have less than a hairline gap, evenly fit all the way around. Ports, switches, and the volume knob all have great looking chrome accents: the bass switch even has many concentric rings on the face of it, so you get that "CD" reflection shape on it. The volume knob is small but with a great volcanic grip, very stiffly dampened so you won't change volume in the pocket and small volume adjustments are easy. The "Power On" and "battery" LEDs are separate, the "battery" LED blinks when the battery starts to run low and "breathes" while charging, varying speed according to how much charging power the Mont Blanc is receiving.
Here is a video I took with my iPad of the E12 right after unboxing
Feiao "Depend on the test of the engineer sample, the output power @32 ohms headphones is about 1.3w to 1.4w, and @16 ohms headphones is about 900mW, so I believe it can drive almost all hard to drive headphone except some " monster " headphone like the AKG K1000."
Playing on 0 dB gain setting, listening volume for me is at about 11 O'clock with my AKG Q701, 10 O'Clock with my Audio Technica AD700, and with my Etymotic ER-6i IEMs (which I am listening to as I write this), is just a bit above 9 O'clock position on the volume dial. Off position is about 6:30-7 O'Clock, and the amp turns on at about 7 O'Clock. Max is at 5 O'Clock. Happily, I cannot humanly detect a channel imbalance at listening volume with my ER-6i.
The amp can be used while charging, though your typical mains power will introduce a little background noise. It charges with a USB port, I think a Micro "A," conveniently the same as my phone, drawing tablet, and many other devices, but unfortunately different from the Mini usb port used in the FiiO E11. Full charging varies with how much voltage is supplied (i.e. faster from a wall socket than a computer), but should be done in 4 hours or less.
Output Impedance:
>0.5Ω, very good and suitable for basically any headphone.
124x65.5x14.5 (mm). 159g weight.
Portable, but a full-sized portable. It can slip into a pants pocket, but you might feel uncomfortable with a larger music player strapped to it. It's a smidge thinner than the E17, but a cm wider and 3 cm longer. Think of it as about the size of a large smartphone (My mom's Samsung Android is bigger). FiiO quotes >12 hours for the battery, in typical use I go days between charging (I use this to amp my gaming setup in addition to listening to music). The battery LED blinks when the battery is low, but I haven't noticed any degradation of audio quality right up until the moment the power goes dead.
There is a slight issue of organizing the connector cable between amp and PMP. I personally think two straight plugs is the answer, with the included right-angle plug male-to-male cable cramping up the "top" plate and sticking out a bit, perhaps making it tough to have strapped to a PMP, in a pocket, and in use at the same time. Still more portable than a cassette or CD player though!
Subjective Sound opinion
Dead honest, with almost no additional coloration over what the headphones already have (at least as these human ears can hear). My tube amp is a bit more revealing and brings your attention to micro detail and texture more, but… that might be over emphasizing, I can still hear that same detail (for example the backing sub-bass right now in Bjork's "All is Full of Love"), it's just perhaps more integrated with the rest of the sound character and thus more "musical" than "analytical." Me gusta, definitely belongs among high-tier amps.
Kick and Decay:
There is a nice tail off of reverb in classical songs (and obvious with the Radiohead - Lotus Flower song I'm listening to right now, sounds like it's in an empty opera hall instead of the warehouse I'm conditioned to expecting from the music video), but at the same time everything feels fast so I get a little of that "adrenaline feeling" where I can hear everything so clearly that time seems to slow down.
Since I got my PPU E12 on January 17, I noticed an increase in impact/kick to the urgency of notes with my Q701, but right now Van Morrison's "Oh the Warm Feeling" playing over my ER-6i sounds just "right." The Q701 varies the most with different amps, but overall with the Mont Blanc, I find the sound exciting and involving.
Soundstage (depth + width):
The presentation of soundstage seems to be a very good match with the Q701. I play video games with THX TruStudio Pro surround processing, and straight out of the USB sound card the soundstage seemed oval shaped, wider and not as deep, but adding the E12 rounded out the sound much more evenly circular. It does seem to stretch out and have more "air" than my iPod's headphone out. Not as emphasized as with my tube amp, but that amp may be "overemphasizing."
EMI & Hiss:
Mostly negligible with the Q701, hiss is inaudible until I switch to high gain mode (so quiet that the first time the E12 battery ran out, I thought my iPod had died and the amp was still on). With the 16 ohm, very sensitive ER-6i, I could hear hiss on low gain at around 12 O'clock on the volume dial… but that's way too loud for me to listen. I can't hear any noise when I call someone (with my basic phone…), even with my Ety's.
There is a switch to enable a crossfeed (subtle but nice with hard panned songs), and a unique bass boost.
The bass-boost is apparently under contention right now. Currently, the boost isn't about skewing the balance of frequencies towards bass... It's completely focused on the sub-bass region, reaching down to the limits of human hearing and mostly just making "atmospheric bass" more authoritative by 4 dB. It's very clean, too. Others have asked for a stronger boost that affects the mid-bass area. I like the E12's boost the way it is now, and here's why... It's unique. Atmospheric bass is a new thing to me (when I started following this thread last year, my main headphone was the AD700), and I don't know of any other amp (the E11 is close) with a hardware boost that focuses enirely on sub-bass, leaving the rest of the frequencies to ascribe to the "wire with gain" philosophy. It's a boost I feel I can leave on with almost any song or genre. With the bass boost of the E5 I also have, the boost was stronger and changes the tonal balance, but it introduced a distortion as well, and usually hurt songs with added grain instead of helping. What do you think?
There is also a relay circuit that causes a delay from the moment you switch on the amp to when it "connects" the headphone jack to power. This avoids the power on "POP!" and protects your headphone (and ears), a feature very common in speaker amps.
Lastly, when I first got the amp, I was honestly a little disappointed. It sounded technically very accurate, but there was a sort of "coldness" to the sound and I wasn't feeling very emotionally involved. Like the amp was holding back somehow. After 3 hours, I took a break and got some coffee, came back to the amp, and slowly (as I was typing to someone about it, in fact) "Q701's are digging in deeper and sounding much nicer... Ooh, right as I was typing that, the last track of "The Suburbs" was almost finished and softly hit me with a really low bass note, gave me a chill!" As I listen now, I just melted a bit at the intro to Muse's "Resistance" from the album of the same name. Back when I first heard the E12's "musical side" I put it down as my ears adjusting to the sound signature, but someone else in the E12 thread had a similar experience, and another, then JamesFiiO stated that the WIMA capacitor actually burns in over time. So, I guess now I'm a believer, lol.
Philosophy of Use:
So who is the E12 Mont Blanc for?
Honestly, I think it's NOT for people who only own "made for iPod" headphones, you will hear very little improvement for your money, and something like a FiiO E5 or E11 will be more portable. If you are a bass head and you like the signature of your headphone, this E12 will drive it cleanly and with authority and perhaps with tighter detail, BUT the bass boost is subtle and won't transform a balanced headphone into a sub-monster, in the latter case another amp with more boost might be better for you. Also, someone with a hard to drive headphone may look at said high-impedance, power-hungry Studio Monitoring headphone and ask themselves, "Why do I need a portable amp for these?"
HOWEVER! I think the E12 is handy compared to a desktop amplifier of equal (or lesser) output power for transporting to work or packing for a vacation. The E12 is also handy if you have a lot of "listening spots" around the home, where you connect to different sources (for me: Desktop computer, Xbox, Laptop, iPod/iPad) or if you just want to listen while lying in bed. Finally, the E12 may be the only all-around amp needed, for current or future headphones (except for something like a STAX), and that, to me, represents real value.
