Wow, isn't that hard on your back Jim?

Good to hear. The new 8s are on my radar.

Uhm, not yes, but hell yes! Thanks Jim, this is pretty much the product I've been waiting for. This will solve a lot of problems for me. Any word on it's release date?

^ That would be illegal in all states I'm pretty sure. Some restaurants have a tip pool, where the tips are gathered and distributed evenly, but none goes to management. I hated tip pools, as there was 0 incentive to do your best.

Happy Birthday Bonnie!

And he still controlled heads!

And toys!

Happy Birthday!

Congrat Justin! Nice wheels!

I thought the guy in their video looked more Austrian than German.

A bargain at half the price.

Sadly no good fuel here, just some Live Oaks. I wish I had some Mesquite around here.

Have a great Birthday Nate!

None of my neighbors had any serious damage either. These firefighters really worked their asses off, and they have my gratitude and respect. A crew stayed all night to keep watch for hot spots. Sorry Dusty, already hauled chairs to dump. They were nice zero gravity loungers, but a very small cost considering. Power washed side wall this morning, but will need a coat of new paint. I'm a happy camper!

Just some smoke damage, well that and a few melted lounge chairs. I'm right on the edge of a large area of dry brush, or I was before today. Apparently the fire started in a home about 3/4 mile away, earlier in the day. They thought they had the fire under control, but it flared up again later. http://www.kztv10.com/news/large-brush-fire-threatens-homes-in-aransas-pass/

Was stopped on my way home for a mandatory evacuation. A rampant fire came 30' from my home. Back home now and all is well. A little too close for comfort though.

I have Ric. It works flawlessly. EDIT: Shit! Sorry, I was confused. It's the Zcd that I've used the flash drive with.

As a Zdac owner, I certainly would not consider it a Mid-Fi DAC. Although the price may reflect Mid-Fi status, the SQ is pretty damn good. Put against my Buffalo II the winner to my ear is the Buffalo, but that's more about neutrality than detail. The Zdac has a slightly warmer presentation, but that could be a positive in many situations. IMO there are a lot of "lower cost" DACs blurring the Hi-Fi line today. That said, the Ayre QB-9 is one of the best DACs I've heard.

Happy Birthday Naaman! Have a great day, and scare the shit out of a few plumbers!

Yay Vicki!

Could EdWood "shop" a Kindle in there?

Sorry Knucks. You gave her a great life though. 19 yrs. ain't half bad.

Happy Birthday Dan!

I have been very impressed with Oppo and Emotiva as well. It's nice to know that there are still a few good bargains out there, with sound build quality.
