Interested in the results of that shootout Jeff!

I had not met your Mother Al, but judging from the job she did of making such a fine person out of the Son I have met, and have come to consider a good friend, I know she must have been a really wonderful gal. If some of us do get to go to a better place when we pass, then I have no doubts that your Mother has a place of honor there, and will be greeted with all the love she had surely given in life. May your Father weather these days ahead as well as can be hoped for, and may your whole family get through this as best they can. Please give Claire, Sophie and Alden my condolences. I hate to think of them hurting, and don't be afraid to shed some tears yourself Al. As a poofter it's the best advice I can give. I cry at sad TV commercials, and I've always treasured my sensitive nature. It always makes me feel better. I'm Going to have a beer tonight with my steak dinner, just to be able to raise a glass to your Mother!

BTW, When did you start carving? I still find it amazing that you've become such a polished woodworker in such a short span of time. I'm definitely a fan!

What is this, newbie central?

X4

Why in the fuck would I do that to myself?

Bits is bits eh? You may be right Reks. And it is 1/3 the price.

Hey now! I think that's the HF crowd you're talking about.

Interesting. I'll research it more.

I had not. Will it play from my iTunes folder? I already have all my music on an external drive, but it's all on iTunes. EDIT: Ah, I see that you need a computer booted for the Squeezebox, and that does not fit my needs.

You have a 10 y.o. that shaves?

That Pure unit is cheap, but I'm not sure it's up to par with the other units. Maybe someone who's used it will chime in. At this point I'm leaning toward the Cambridge unit. I like that it's small, and I like the output options. Looks nice too. And it's nice to get first hand info about it.

It does have some interesting features. I particularly like the AES/EBU output.

Does anyone have any experience with any of the docks that bypass the iPod's internal DAC? I'm thinking about buying such a device to use with my home DAC, and would appreciate any relevant info. I'm aware of the Wadia and the Onkyo, any others of note? A decent used Wadia 170i goes for about $250, and that's appealing.

Braggart!

Dusty the newer version is available at Home Depot for about $150.00 IIRC, though it is a bit smaller than the version I linked.

This is a little bit outside of the box, as far as for home use maybe, but it's what I use everyday at the jobsite. It sounds petty decent, and it's held up to all weather for 4 years now. The iPod is very well protected too. http://www.ridgid.com/Tools/R8408-Jobsite-Radio/

Very clean work Sir!

I'm still not convinced that Head-Fi isn't a better fit for you.

Happy Birthday Birgir!

Happy Birthday Mike!

Happy Birthday!

That's some funny shit!

I think the welcome PM is automatic again, IIRC.

Brum is what my heavily accented, South Texas Grandmother swept her floors with.
