very cool, mike, congrats!

did you try to trade with another raffle winner?

Here's an excerpt from an email a knowledgeable friend sent me a while back... "In the balanced line world one of the biggest issues is ground loops between equipment. Electronically balanced equipment like X are two identical amplifiers running opposite polarity. They are true balanced amplifiers with all the benefits of common mode reduction but they share the same ground so there is no benefit breaking ground over a single ended, or unbalanced piece of equipment. All the Pro audio gear from the Beatles early recordings and until solid-state were transformer balanced. The best Pro audio gear today is still transformer balanced even though the amplifier may be solid-state."

no but i found the transcript WARREN: There’s a lot more I’d like to ask on that. We have 15 other questions here. Define marriage. OBAMA: I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Now, for me as a Christian — for me — for me as a Christian, it is also a sacred union. God’s in the mix. But – WARREN: Would you support a Constitutional Amendment with that definition? OBAMA: No, I would not. WARREN: Why not? OBAMA: Because historically — because historically, we have not defined marriage in our constitution. It’s been a matter of state law. That has been our tradition. I mean, let’s break it down. The reason that people think there needs to be a constitutional amendment, some people believe, is because of the concern that — about same-sex marriage. I am not somebody who promotes same-sex marriage, but I do believe in civil unions. I do believe that we should not — that for gay partners to want to visit each other in the hospital for the state to say, you know what, that’s all right, I don’t think in any way inhibits my core beliefs about what marriage are. I think my faith is strong enough and my marriage is strong enough that I can afford those civil rights to others, even if I have a different perspective or different view.

you and -=she=- could then get matching hot pink picos and nanos.

justin, nice new colors! they match up near perfect with the new nano colors too! well your gray looks a little purplish... but no hot pink!

could you please provide the specs on that transit screw? i assume you have the original one from sony. So what is the head type, thread size body, and length?

the best care package would be to surround him with positive energy and thoughts and visit him as often and long as possible even if he is out of it. assuming he can hold down solid food and it is approved by his docs, anything other than hospital food would probably go over exceedingly well. i wish him a speedy and full recovery.

just cast my vote among other things...

I haven't been watching out for them all that much, but it seems they are showing up even less often than usual on the used market. So that certainly influences price. I would say a completely stock L3000s with all the accessories might easily fetch around $2250 on the US/UK market and up to $2650.

he's just wet behind the ears.

i am very picky. though, those fast action pics were very nice indeed.
