Very nice Salt Peanuts.

No excuse now!!!

Yep, red is always faster. Just picked up the 640GB.

Sherwood, that is a sweet looking bass.

OK, I have been trying not to react too quickly/strongly to my new toy but... HOLY SHIT, the ECD-1 GS-1 JH13 is great. OK, I got it out of my system.

Yeah, the Carolina blue trans is great. The setup GS-1 and JH13 are made for each other, really transparent setup. I could not be happier with the sound. I think the seal is slightly better in the left ear but I think I am getting a pretty good seal in the right ear.

True, but nothing I make myself will ever be allowed on a the plane. I am still considering a DIY project for the bedroom setup or office but since my projects don't seem to ever get finished, I need something in the meantime. On the other hand, I am listening to to the JH13's on the Corda 2Move right now and they sound damn good so maybe I should cancel the Pico.

It has been a great morning. I got the 64" cord which is the perfect length from my GS-1 to my recliner. :prettyprincess: :prettyprincess:

Finally gave in and ordered Pico DAC/AMP to go with the JH13 for travel and in the office. I tried to be different but it is no use.

They will be paired with the GS-1 and ECD-1 as soon as I get them home tomorrow. :dance::dance:

JH13's are shipped and should be here tomorrow! It will be a good weekend.

Hmm, interesting, I thought that keeping the Desktop portable plugged in all the time would lead to me having to send it back every year. I will have to call up HR and ask.

I would be very interested to know if the answer to this. I thought you could not since you are supposed to send it back to Headroom to have the battery replaced. Looking at these picture, the batteries looks like they are not easily removable. http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue41/headroom.htm

Al: Thanks for notes about the noise floor with the HR Desktop. This is certainly very tempting indeed. I was planning to do the G-lite + Pico Dac for the office but having an all in one amp/dac (which would make it a possible transportable solution) plus the ability to do optical is very tempting. Do you think the Astrodyne would be noisier than the DPS? I assume that one cannot use the Portable Desktop as a desktop rig (i.e. keeping it plugged in instead of charging the battery and using it unplugged all the time) without having to get a new battery every year - the size of it is nice.

That would be great.

I have a question for Al or whoever else has a Headroom Desktop amp/dac (home) and a pair of JH13's. Is there *any* hiss with this amp on low with the JH13's with the volume at a reasonable level and no music playing? I was originally thinking of trying to get a Glite+DPS and a Pico Dac for the office. But then I was thinking that the Headroom desktop amp/dac is more transportable and I could take it with me for 1-2 week long trips (or maybe I would just be lazy and grab the 2Move or just go for the ipod instead). On the other hand, maybe I will just *try* to build something like a CK2III for the bedroom and move the Stello DA100/HP100 to the office (currently in the bedroom).

Happy Birthday! So what color are the JH13's?

^nice

Nate, that makes a lot of sense.

Ok, will delete and stop complaining. Thanks.

I tried to "upgrade" but it said I wasn't allowed to do that since I was going from Windows Vista Business to Windows 7 Home Premium so I assumed I was doing a clean install (guess not). I will see if I can start from scratch and do a clean install. Since I keep very few "personal" files (all copied to my Mac and backed up there) on the tablet (since the HD is sooooo small) and have very few programs installed, it is not such a big deal for my to restart all over again.

I recently installed Windows 7 on my tablet. It, so far, has been ok - not as bad as Vista or XP. I was trying to see how much room I had on my hard drive to try and do a dual boot Hackintosh tablet. I have hardly anything on the tablet (Windows 7 and Adobe Illustrator plus a few files of my own that take up maybe a few hundred MBs of space). The computer tells me that I have 27GB free out of 68.4GB! WTF!!!! Snooping around a bit I find a folder called Windows.old which has a "size" of 25.2GB and "size on disk" of 20.9GB (presumably all of Windows fu****' Vista and all the programs I had previously on the computer). Anyways, I know this is the Mac thread so I just wanted to complain here and say that Microsoft still has so much to learn from Apple. By the way, anyone know if I can just delete this huge folder and get back half of my harddrive? Is there some way I can reinstall everything and not have this happen.

Of course not *wink wink*

That could have been useful.
