  1. You mean it's not Dolly? Next thing you'll tell me that Sarah Lee doesn't own Sarah Lee, or Little Debbie doesn't...You get the idea.
  2. Beautiful! How old is your starter? Mine is now 51 yrs. old. My Mom started it shortly after my birth.
  3. That handle on top is a standard kitchen cabinet drawer pull. The rack is about 11.5" wide, about 13" tall and just over 10" deep.
  4. To be honest a Bose Wave system is probably just fine for most older folks. It doesn't clutter a tabletop, and most elderly peeps will think it sounds great. Myself, I'd probably pick one of the other "all in one" options, maybe Tivoli, or even Cambridge Soundworks, as the Bose is way over priced.IMO.
  5. It's approaching 50 lbs. I got to use my newish pocket screw jig for all the joinery. I really like pocket screw technology, as you don't have to wait for glue to dry. Ric, I didn't like the pre at all for about 10 minutes, until I figured out that I had the fixed-record outputs hooked up to the amps. Once I hooked the variable outputs up, it actually attenuated the volume. I didn't really need it (until I decided to buy a used Ztuner), but got a great deal on it used. In fact the only piece I purchased new was the Zdac. And the handle just seemed useful, as I can carry it to friends houses pretty easy.
  6. That is cute.
  7. This! Well this, but trade the F for a G.
  8. I still need to finish sand, round edges and put a Lacquer finish on the rack, but you can get an idea of what I was attempting. I have some feet coming for the rack as well. They look like they'll match the feet of the Parasound gear pretty well. I was planning on Walnut, until I discovered I had more than enough Cherry. Looks can be deceiving, as this tower of smaller sized gear is damned heavy. These amps are no slouch, and yes I'm running my K1000s from two Zamps in bridged mode. No such thing as overkill. This desktop system powers both of my main speaker sets very well. I know a few are curious about the sound of the new Zdac. Well I'm just starting my listening, but first impressions are very good. Definitely has that Parasound house sound. This is better than I expected a sub $500.00 DAC to sound. Later I'll compare it to my Buffalo 32, but for now I'm just going to enjoy the beautiful, beautiful music.
  9. I understand the job losses, but as far as the Twinkie goes, are we really that sad to see it go? I can certainly live just fine without them. But I do want Nabisco to bring back my fucking Bacon Thins and Twigs. You bastards!
  10. Happy Birthday!
  11. Those are words I never expected to come out of Justin's mouth! Actually it's an alternate address I had on my FedEx account. Not sure why they delivered there, but I've already made arrangements to pick it up tomorrow. It's still sealed.
  12. They delivered it to the wrong address, so it'll be tomorrow before first listen.
  13. Well it just goes to prove that an enormous cock will fluster even the straightest of men.
  14. Oh thank God it's just the cake snacks! After reading the title I thought cute, slender gay men were becoming extinct.
  15. Well he's a pubescent kid after all. He'll get bored in a few years and squeeze his cock a bit less.
  16. A couple of nice digital cables made by Naaman...
  17. Bummer Vicki.
  18. You carried 50 lbs. of Pop tarts around?
  19. He's bat shit crazy for sure! What I wonder is how many bat shit crazy people give him their money? Even if it's just a few, that's still fucking crazy. EDIT: I wonder if he's also on some sex forum, hanging coconut pods from his Johnson, and selling the same crap as sex enhancement devices.
  20. $475.00
  21. I know this may come as a shock, but it involves some woodworking. I plan on stacking single file, and making a simple wooden rack, as open as possible for good airflow. Not sure when I'll get this completed, hopefully sooner than later. I'll posts some pics then.
  22. The first shipment might have been taken up by pre-orders, or they may just not have up-dated the site yet.
  23. Got my shipping notice today for the Zdac, via Audio Advisor. According to them I was #1 on the list. I've apparently been #1 on audio dealer's lists before, because my Mom said many times that I was #1 on the Schiit list. Didn't even know they made audio equipment at the time. Anyway, I've been curious about this DAC for a while, due to it's small size, and my previous taste for the Parasound sound. I've recently amassed a handsome stack of matching Zgear to encompass a tidy little desktop system. This will be my first USB DAC, so I'm a bit excited about the prospects of such a device. Other sources beyond computer audio will be my Cambridge iD100/iPod/iPad and the Parasound Zcd, to spin those shiny Silver discs, old school style. Estimated delivery this Friday.
  24. And use a Buffalo 32 DAC.
  25. If I ever have a Pop Tart is has to be unfrosted. Usually Strawberry or Brown Sugar & Cinnamon.
