Hmmm, what is it with the East-coasters? I was up at 4:00 today too, needing that caffeine kick around now.....stole into my absent boss' enclosed office to listen to music and have a little privacy (so I can get on Head-Case )
Hope you guys rest well tonight!
A nice little Samsung Series 3 notebook. Core i3, 4G, 320G HDD, 11.6" screen.....nice, lightweight, and decent speed. With a coupon, cost $350. This'll be a nice thing to carry around, and use as a music source.....
My Silverline Preludes go to mid-to-low 30's with 2 x 3.5" drivers. Not hair-blowing air movement, but they are tuneful and deep enough to not scream for subwoofer usage. I would think, if not a single 3" dricver, than maybe a small array of 3" drivers, would be kind of cool.... I think Audio Pro used to have a couple subs in years pasdt with several smaller drivers (6" I'm thinking) to get depth and speed.....
We went pretty overboard for our son's first, I think it's kind of natural if it is the first child too.....it WAS worth it, though, to see his face when we fed him cake for the every first time. We have a couple shots somewhere, he has this wide-eyed look like "...what is this that you've been holding out on me....??!!!"
We learned pretty quickly in subsequent years to tone down the major portions of parties, and just let the kids enjoy.....
Good stuff! I always liked the bang for the buck of their early Link DAC....briefly heard a Platinum DAC at a dealer's, it was a consignment sale beyond my price even used. But it sounded REALLY nice, even in an unfamiliar system.....
Now I just to figure out a good pun about resisting the resistors....
Good stuff, Tom, congrats! We refinanced, went from a 30-year to 15 and still saved > $300/mo in payments. We've timed it just so we'll be paid off before our son goes to college....just in time for more possible debt!
We used a portable Delonghi in our half finished basement for several years, pretty much continuously during the summers. A nice workhorse.
But if you don't want to be emptying the water container every other day, it's best to find a way to pipe it outside or at least to some kind of drainage.
We ended up spending the $ and putting a permanent unit in the unfinished portion of the basement, with A/C style piping to the finished side. The good news is that's it's quieter when you're in the room, the bad news is that the dry air being pumped in is warm, which makes it warmer in the summer.....
