Well said, and seconded!

My son used this music or a school project.....Zach Hemsey, Mind Heist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cXLYxx1yBA

^^^ Smart man, that Antonio fella.... Try to get REAL root cause before jumping into anything drastic..... Best of luck!!

Listened to a bit of this, very very cool stuff! Will certainly pick it up..... And Esme, indeed so cute!

Just saw a news report, that thankfully many people got out early via evacuations. Also, the storm moved SO fast that flooding wasn't/isn't as bad as other storms. So fingers crossed, at least more people will be alive. Now just to get shelter and rebuild....

A good point. The DAC's I used were good and had their own PS's obviously, but the source was a laptop computer (either a Samsung or Dell Lattitude)....could indeed be some extra noise there that you won't get with a desktop and especially a dedicated (like sotm) USB card.

Have them on order, due Monday....if TYLL says FOTM, then FOTM Seriously, looking for something that sounds good with better than nothing for isolation for work, these may fit the bill perfectly.

Smooth move, Vincent, way to endear yourself..... That said, even with marketing like that, I was surprised to hear some differences with different USB cables. I always thought a good basic shielded cable would be fine. The recent trend, though, of splitting out or removing the power wires from the signal wires seems to make a positive difference. I have two non-power-wire cables that sound a little less smeared than something like the simple shielded cables, or a borrowed Pangea cable....

^^^ I thought it turned Beats into Stax.....my mistake......

Great observation on humanity, Steve.....and, good luck and congrats on your last day!

Sorry I'll be missing this one Tom; made the NY meet in the Spring, it was a fantastic time, great to meet you and a lot of others!

Next in line for Shelly: the Silver Ghost Rev 2

And, they have out-Tesla'd the Beyer T1.... Could be interesting; the 701 sounds pretty darn good out of Doug's DSHA-1.....

Nice days, Jim and Brent! I occasionally do the single dad, it's a good time even with a teenager.....

(Voluntarily shuddered) Hope it isn't too bad Shelly, and indeed heals quickly!

Actually, is that him in a gator costume? EDIT: Jeffy, have heard of those, looks kind of interesting.....tell us more about the experience.....

Don't care so much about the looks one way or another, but admittedly would probably prefer black. The top cover/vent is overboard, though. I DO like the functionality, switching OTL on and off, pre capability, load selection....as long as it's done well, I care less about what it looks like. Given how good the Mk II sounded with the K-1000's, I'd consider this if the price wasn't nuts.

Wow, does indeed look a bit of teh awesomeness...... Didn't see pricing.....any ideas or knowledge?

Recover well, Stretch..... My dad is a dentist, and I remember one hygienist who was absolutely adorable. One cleaning, she was chatting with me and asked if I wanted to be a dentist like my dad. My smartass reply: "Nothing against you or the profession, but it's not my aim in life to put my hands in people's mouths and have them drool on me...." Thankfully, she laughed, and didn't do anything nasty with those sharp instruments she had!

Holy crap, Brent, like you need one more thing going on! Sorry to hear this, hoping all ends up OK!

It's probably a bit shallow of me, but I've loved his role in the movie "Get Crazy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1m1Bk-mDXM That movie was a lot of dumb fun, with a great cast including several musicians from the 60's through the 80's.

RIP Lou Reed...... And "some fuck or another" Ronald Greenfield, my father-in-law. A couple weeks short of 86, ex-stockbroker (until 75!), ex-Navy, father of 3 beautiful girls, husband of over 60 years. A charming man, a grumpy son of a bitch, a friend to the underdog. His passing was ultimately a blessing, avoiding further pain and bed-ridden deteriorating existence. But there's a gaping hole in my and others' lives.

My wife told me about this today.....one of the greats is gone.....

Wow, good news Haj....! Not to put a damper on things, but going back to NJ tomorrow morning, likely to say good bye to my father-in-law. Still in the hospital, painfully weak and not eating. But OK enough to take out a feeding tube they put in.... It sounds blunt and hateful, but his passing may be a blessing (for him and my mother-in-law, who is having HER life drained away trying to care for him). Just hope my MIL would still move up here.....we want her here, and I truly believe she will have the best chance of living life in a good and caring/helpful community here.

Happy Birthday Marc!
