^ Favorite Mike Nichols tidbit since his passing - Dustin Hoffman was convinced by Nichols to play The Graduates very WASPy character (in book) by saying "Well, maybe he's a Jew on the inside." Best film worried character ever (at least not played by Woody Allen). Hope things calm down for you Stretch.

Uncomps are great.

Still no MQA support.

Mmmmm. Cheesy tater tots.

Interesting and very curious. Against the trend concerning DSD though, huh?

Here's the funny thing - I still kinda do. Maybe naive, but all the campaign disasters aside (and I wouldn't suggest ignoring for any future purchases), I still think the Geek Out 720 sounds decent and hope this scales accordingly. Expectations wrapped in the price paid blanket of course. Can anyone more knowledgable than I (everyone) tell anything from this?

Over time we've certainly got to know a great deal about Light Harmonic business practices, but we'll find out about SQ and/or BJs shortly. Supposedly their shipping order is campaign waves (1st, 2nd, Purgatory/Current, etc.), sub-ordered by model (Pulse, Pulse X, Pulse S), further divided by order date, at a rate of about 20 units per day (though have my suspicions about this). Not sure anyone here ordered (and didn't cancel or upgrade) a base model early, so we're probably a few weeks away from receiving one, but the few of us still in included early orders and base models. Have to admit I prefer the experience of waiting on new gear arriving from a company I respect.

Dylan/Band - Basement Tapes. Dig the vinyl/CD sleeves.

Slightly different than the Grado tour.

7 & 9 , though the finale is fitting too.

Two extra good episodes coming up.

Time to start back up again. HBO will re-air 'The Wire' in HD starting December 26th http://www.engadget.com/2014/12/02/hbo-the-wire-hd-december-26th/?ncid=rss_truncated

For those unfamiliar - their "Geek Soul" upgrade.

A few vinyl purchases before I take a break for a while and enjoy cheap streaming. Bowie (hits for the kid) Dylan and The Band (RAW) Tweedy & company (non-hits for the parent) Joanna Newsom ('cause that Esmé song)

Anyone compare the Fire Stick to Chromecast? Been waiting for next AppleTV version so been relying on Chromecast and its third party support (including Air Parrot 2 a lot likely).
