  1. I'm very curious to here an M51 and a PerfectWave. I may be catching Dinny's DACses disease.
  2. Just wanted to start a thread about this dock. Not sure how many have use for a product like this, but I did, and someone else may too. I'm very impressed with build quality. The remote is simple and it works well (unlike the Wadia dock). As for the sound...well it's as good as what you put onto your iPod or iPad. I've been very happy, and the unit works better than I had hoped for. To say that I haven't reached for a CD since the dock arrived pretty well sums up my feelings. The one quirk I have noticed is that the dock needs about 2-3 minutes from the initial docking of the iPod/iPad to play well. Before that interim it will have dropouts every few seconds. If you leave your iPod/iPad docked and use the energy saving 'standby' mode between listening sessions, this seems to negate the need for the warm-up time. I plan on taking this to the Austin meet this weekend, and maybe get some more feedback from others. My opinion is that it's a solid little unit, worth the $300.00 asking price. Of coarse most of you don't have a Naaman built Buffalo II, so yours may sound inferior.
  3. I did get caught peeing by a cop once. I was driving from Kenai, AK back to Anchorage. It was about 3:00 in the morning and I was just coming into the municipality limits, but couldn't hold it any longer. Pulled over to a big shoulder/overlook South of town (it's marshland, no homes), and did my business. Next thing I know a cop car is pulling in behind me and a female cop proceeds to tell me about the laws against public urination. I argued a little about the public part considering there wasn't anyone around for miles, and she eventually let me leave with a warning.

    WAT?
  7. "The Law Offices of Do We Cheatem & Howe" Love this!
  8. Uhmmm, OK.
  9. That will work great Kevin.
  10. Would you flamers mellow out?
  11. Happy Birthday Nate! Maybe Lily will make you a cake?
  12. Justin wood glue won't work well with the stabilized wood. You'll need something really strong though, maybe a good epoxy.
  13. I was being sarcastic. I've touched them personally. Well not in an Ari way, but I've had my mitts on them. Yes, but if they're the same thickness as the trim pieces, the knob won't be very thick. Say 9/16" or so. Would be cool to alternate similarly thick pieces of Gabon Ebony with the burl. So the face of the knob would be the Aristeus Burl, but the side would be striped.
  14. The Aristaeus has mini wood panels?
  15. You're a hooker?!!! All this time thought you were in graphic arts.
  16. A very happy Birthday Craig!
  17. Cool!
  18. Why don't we have some kind of video conference classes for just these types of situations? It is the year 2012, is it not?
  19. Yay plumbers, yay Shelly!
  20. Is that a morph of David Gallagher & Bin Laden? Freaky!
  21. Stay safe everyone! Remember that in the big picture there really is no need to rush and risk life and limb.
  22. I had an earlier Zamp with less power, and I was pretty surprised at the power it had. It drove some 92dB two ways easily. But to be honest I don't ever listen at concert levels. No doubt that the 90-95 rated WPC of the units in mono would more than satisfy your needs, in the worst case scenario. But I imagine a single unit in stereo would do, if you're not into rattling the windows. Either way, still relatively good budget/performance factor. Plus they come up on ebay regularly. The Zamp was also a badass K340 amp, didn't have the K1000 yet.
  23. Wow, good thing you didn't get drop and french mixed up!
