Happy Birthday!

Hope you enjoyed your lunch, afternoon, dinner, drinks, etc.

Very nice, congrats!....environmental law, huh? You mean lawyers can actually do NICE things? (Sorry Al and Dinny)

Happy Birthday Steve!!!

Happy Birthday!!

Any word of what is on the Master Tapes? Would be neat to see NOS music I was a huge JD fan in my college days and beyond......

Phew....for a second, I read the title and thought this place was going soft!

Cardas is a cable brand/maker I respect, have heard and liked several of the designs in the past. But yeah, not worth the money..... Once I get my M51, the trusy Vince Vaughn Audio XLR's will be back in duty!

Congrats on 5! Keep them numbers rolling.....slowly

Very Happy Birthday!

Nate, my son may be getting this stomach thing, too. Hoping we all feel better soon!

Is it me, or does the "Jumpsuits for men" guy look like a Satanic David Hasselhoff?

^^ Regret at its finest! I didn't love much of her music, but absolutely adored the quality of her voice. I do seem to recall a few videos/interviews where she sang some Gospel, and it was amazing.

Good healing to all who are sick, and congrats on the bike Vicki, saw the pic in the other thread too. Me: going to volunteer with family today at another Bone Marrow registration drive for the Gift Of Life. Our son helped coordinate and run two for his Bar Mitzvah project, and we had a table AT his Bar Mitzvah, where we got 17 new registrations (which is almost 50% of the eligible people who came!).

Looks like a great time! Love those amps on Frank Cooter's table! And glad you got to try the Scotch......very happy to share with those who will appreciate it more than I could. BTW, Mikey looks a lot "cleaner" now than in that Classmates picture

I think 24/192 is a nice to have, at least given the amount of music MOST people likely have in that format. I have two albums in 24/192, nothing else better than 24/96. I copied some hi-rez to a computer I have that has a cheap Diamond sound card that does up to 24/192 out on coax. Using KS or ASIO, they DID sound damn nice. Getting a nice sound card that offers this is a possibility (for laptops, not sure if there is a cardbus or PCMCIA card that does this). It's one more piece in the chain, but I'd also consider a USB->S/PDIF converter that handles 24/192, and not limit the DAC's I seek otherwise.

Yuck, sorry to hear that. Our son scared us with "stomach not feeling well" the other night, but it was somethign else thankfully. But two co-workers' kids have stuff going on. Hopefully all are well soon.....

This just made me remember about a company that created their own interfaces (not thinking Krell CAST, but something else) between preamp and amp, and chose BNC 75 ohm connectors as a result. Used to read about it, and the positive aural benefits, in Bound For Sound. Forgot the company, though.....they made some big honkin' SS amps..... EDIT: found it, PBN Audio, they use BNC as optional connectivity, like their Olypia preamp

Glad you're feeling a bit better. But Nate: how many employers (or at least immediate managers) are REALLY sane?

Major crap going around these days....my son must have had about 20 different people out of his class "team" (in essence, i think 4 classes, or maybe 90-100 people) the last couple weeks..... Feel better, and good luck tomorrow

Very Happy Birthday!!

Yes, the highs stood out in my listen, but I have heard some I've liked better (Maggie true ribbons, Gallo CDT, and Eminent Technology) Hmmm, maybe the quantity of bass was overloading the room (which was smaller, even if treated), so take my thought on slightly flabby bass with a possible grain of salt. Agreed here; there were many things to like, but I ultimately came away thinking more hi-fi.....very good hi-fi.....but it was more about the technical aspects of the sound, not the music.

Happy Birthday!
