Damn, that sucks. Hope your recovery goes well for you.

So what was jp#'s criterion for the Team Minimal? One pair of headphones? Of course, if having three rigs (stat, dynamic, portable) disqualifies you, I wouldn't make the Team either even after I follow through with my plan as I'll end up with three rigs (speakers, main headphone, portable).

Happy Birthday! LOL

I really liked the ECD1 when I owned it, but I've no idea how it compares to the other DAC's listed (it's also been ages since I've owned it). FYI, ECD1 can be had used for ~$1200 (or less sometimes) often on Audiogon.

Boo.

Now you know how I felt when I used to own DV-50. Buy eet!

Sorry Dan. I needed an amp for my deck rig.

Vince Vaughn's mini3.

Another plus for PS3, at least for me, is that it can play Japanese PS3 games as well as US PS3 games due to the BluRay region code.

Yeah, but Xbox 360 can't play BluRay.

Congrats, Deepak!

At least I used to own a pair. I sold the Stax rig back then to finance couple of things that ultimately didn't work out in the end. I regret selling the rig, but hindsight is 20/20.

Damn, that is a really nice looking stand. I'll definitely have to think about commissioning one from Steve if/when I get another stand.

I apologize if this has been covered recently, but what is the going rate for 717 now-a-days? As much as I've been enjoying my dynamic rig, I really miss OII's. As such, I'm seriously contemplating selling my dynamic rig (recabled K1000, RS-1, and Beta22) to finance OII's again and I figure I'd grab 717 until I can save up enough for a better amp.

Really? I may have to give it a go on my MacBook then, as voiding warranty was why I hadn't upgrade the hard drive.

I've been running SqueezeCenter from my iMac for a while now, and after the initial problem, I've had no problems with the setup.

Happy Birthday!

I do most of my "reading" in my car through audiobooks during my commute. One side benefit of having to commute for about 2 hours every day.

Deadliest Catch

I remember trying to read a Japanese translation of Crime and Punishment when I was 12 or 13. It didn't work out so well.

At least he's coming near you. The closest one for me would be the one in Columbus.

Color me jealous. I'm really tempted, but I'm trying to cut down on audio spending. Incidentally, how many CD's per month for the subscription?

Downloading them now, finally.
