yep I still have it, feel free to pm me here or send me an IM next time your on AIM The APL SACD1000 has a tube in it too a single 6h30 used for the i/v stage to the pair of lundahl output transformers.

ok guys check the first post again i finished up the impressions and comparisons.

Yeah thats good advice, Headamp does have a return policy so if it doesn't work out just send it back for a full refund.

ah even worse than going by marketing going by the thoughts of uneducated end-users and paid professionals, awesome

i can't believe you guys are falling for the REL marketing. sure looks like regular subs to me. postjack with any sub including the REL or ones from SVS you not only get very fine control over the bass volume output but also cross-over frequencies. what i'd recommend is setting the crossover on the sub to be just above the point where you speakers run out of juice and then adjust the volume to your liking.

yeah honestly you should take a look at the SVS subs. their performance is nearly impossible to beat for the price.

The remote does look pretty slick but I don't like that the main device/base unit doesn't have any display at all. Thats a total deal breaker for me.

Simple, like everything in the world of hifi they cost as much as they do because they can.

but do you really want a remote whose batteries drain that fast and needs to be constantly charged

Agreed 802.11n is a pretty big advantage over g. I have a "draft-n" wireless AP and with WPA2 enabled max speeds I see are about 6-7MB/s.

Hey Mike, it's cool that the MPX3's usable range is working out for you. The SP amps do make wonderful pre-amps if the situation makes them feasible.

Ehh I dunno thats way too generic IMO. When I think server grade I think SAS 15,000 RPM drives . Though in the case of the Time Capsule if we go with that 5-yr warranty idea and the 500 or 1000 gig options the drives are most likely the WD Caviar RE2 or the Seagate Barracuda ES.2 series. Both solid drive lines but ironically have shown to have equal or worse failure rate than the "lowly consumer" level grade drives. Honestly these days when your talking about SATA drives their are so few differences across brands and manufacturers it hardly matters . Mike, I think a good analogy here is to compare apple's use of "server grade" to ray's use of "military spec". Equally meaningless, useless and total utter BS.

The server grade thing is total BS. Just Apple marketing at it's finest.

haha, though it is funny watching him make an ass out of himself

Well wireless encryption no matter wep, wpa, wpa2, etc, etc is all breakable to some extent. WEP takes about 2 minutes at most WPA takes a while longer. But yes a usb ethernet adapter is a pretty good idea. Unless you need that 1 USB port for something else .

Except wireless isn't exactly what I'd call secure, so yeah Ethernet still has a place in computers

On an unrelated apple note it's nice to see the new iTunes (7.6) finally has 64-bit Vista support.

I know I'd rather have the 8 core mac pro.

Yeah honestly the new dual quad mac pro was a bigger announcement than anything that came out at MacWorld today in my opinion of course. It's also priced surprisingly well.

JACOB CAN'T HAVE ONE

Oh I'm not saying it's a good thing (in fact I'd never buy one) I'm just saying theres no way to get it that thin and still have an optical drive built-in.

Theres no way you could get it as thin as it is w/ an optical drive.

Another niche product which the mac fanboys will eat up
