This is good advice IMO, and what I did. I'm down to 3 very good DAC's for main systems: NAD M51, Neko D-100 Mk II, and the coming NuWave. One small desktop DAC for work, the Micromega MyDAC. I also have a UDAC 1, UDAC 2 HP, & HDP from Nuforce; and an Audio Engine D1; the smaller non-powered ones I can use for travel. But even those extras will be cut down a bit, or more likely lent out to friends. I think i peaked at about 12-13 DAC's at my worst. You just can't use that many, they end up sitting around collecting dust. I can at leats say all my nicer DAC's (the first 4) are in use in various systems.....

My trade-in said it arrived yesterday, no further word yet....

Well, for anyone wanting the older version, the 21's are on sale for $45 shipped! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?nm_mc=AFC-TechBargains&cm_mmc=AFC-TechBargains-_-NA-_-NA-_-NA&Item=N82E16882117405

Going to vote this afternoon. Looking forward to the Marijuana Question Nate, sorry to hear of the water troubles, hope all is OK now; we've been there with our water heater....twice! Also, if you don't end up keeping the HD-600's, I'll gladly take them! And BTW, if you want to try a NITB Grado SR-225i with the Torpedo, you're welcome to anytime, I'm not currently using them.

^^^ My son had his last game today, Dan, also in lovely cold weather. He scored a goal, but they ended up losing. Tied until about 4 minutes left, then lack of subs and ovetired kids allowed 3 goals....tough way to end, but a good coach and nice teammates. BTW, I got the shirt, thanks. I may have to wear it to some other Bruins-related event if they don't start playing hockey! Fuck!

Ah, I see that, and that would likely explain the $50 deal..... Don't see on the Pioneer web site what the "re-engineered" process did....similar looking drivers, 6-component cross-over.....different grills for sure......

Dusty you're probably right....juyst saw they have them on sale, but for $85 with free shipping...... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?nm_mc=AFC-TechBargains&cm_mmc=AFC-TechBargains-_-NA-_-NA-_-NA&Item=N82E16882117406

Yup, $50 for the pair. But only when they had the sale....if you can wait, I'm sure they'll go again in November as Black Friday approaches (unless the prior sales were a stock-clearing mechanism).

Great news! Glad he is in good hands, and will soon have a nice full stomach!

Wishing the best for your dad. The positive to take out of it is that the people doing the rescue work seem incredible. I shuddered when I read about the hospital that had to be evacuated, but saw pictures of the incredible care and safety that seemed to go into it....there are some amazing people doing amazing things to care for others!

^^^ Didn't see this until after the vid, but that was my favorite part of the video too.

Thank you Vicki for doing this, another wonderful cause taken up by HC'ers! Just donated.....

Hadn't read the last few posts here until now. I have the Jones-designed Pioneer bookshelf speakers, they are pretty nice. Newegg has twice put them on sale in the last 4-5 months for $50 USD INCLUDING shipping! Couldn't resist..... I have them running in conjunction with a Gallo TR-1 sub, making some nice music from a semi-vintage Marantz 1020 integrated. Of course, the Neko DAC as the source makes a huge difference! I have read, though can't remember where unfortunately, that the towers may not be quite as good as the bookshelves, but should be real good for the $ in any case.

I had read about that....hope he and others are OK!

Wow, ConEd plant pretty scary..... We survived with I think 2 small blips, one really a brown out. School for my son closed again today, but I'm going to work..... Best of luck all, stay safe!

^^ just saw that on the news, wild.....BTW, one of the condo's there pre-sold for $90M according to the newscaster! We had one droppout for about 15 seconds. Power back on, working for now.... Our neoghborhood has undergound wiring, but a lot of our feeder areas are above-ground and fairly sensitive. Hope everyone is OK!

Nah, Michael Phelps zombie teaches other zombies how to swim, and they all land on the Jersey Shore and smoke (sea)weed.

No generator here, but did a bunch of non-perishable shopping..... Good luck to everyone in her path!

Congrats, Nate (especially on the night out without kids! But the refi too)

Happy Birthday!

Echoes of good luck!

Sadly, not served in the taxidermied corpses of small animals..... http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2012/10/24/scottish-brewer-unveils-brewmeister-armageddon-world-strongest-proof-beer/ I really have to wonder how GOOD this actually would taste.....

Nicely done, Tyll.....great to see some faces and hear some slurring

Al, I like that Of Montreal album, was listening to some of it yesterday. Today: VA - A Tribute To Repo Man. Some nice versions, especially Amanda Palmer doing Suicidal Tendencies' "Institutionalized"

Happy Birthday, Marc! Hope it's a great one!
