Pretty much word for word why I didn't get a Darkvoice. Or why I'll never buy any Chinese "hifi" product.

Thanks Nate. Have the DMM, just need to replace my iron. As for casework, that's always the pain. I think I might do it up in wood.

Anyone here gander a guess (or someone that's built one) how difficult it is to build (battery version)? I wrote off getting one since I didn't want to wait for the Digikey order and the order from Hagerman but someone is selling complete kits on ebay so I'm thinking I might as well do it. And it might just outperform the NAD PP-2 for less.

That's my thinking. I owned a DT770/80 and its only appeal was for movies. Seeing how closed Darth's add even more bass it seems all its fans that post about them are serious bass heads. Not to mention that Headphile keeps coming out with newer versions, I don't think resale is all that great on the older ones.

Got ya. Just read the A-gon ad that said using the lineout bypasses the tubes.

What tubes were in the M24?

I wasn't able to get fine control with a 24. I would probably need at least a 48.

I decided to get a NAD PP-2 for the phono. Seems ok at ~ $110? Hagerman Bugle was my next choice, but I'm not sure I want to deal with the time associated with build, waiting for parts, etc as I should have the TT all setup by Friday.

I might remember you asking about this at the SH forums, which one are you using? I think before the record cleaning machine, I'll be needing a phono-stage

postjack: I know you wanted to get into Porcupine Tree I suggest getting In Absentia. I doubt you'll ever find it for less than $6.

Yeah it was Todd's Music Hall MMF-5. I've been looking for a TT for ages, and didn't want to deal with the perils of shipping. Thanks for the thought Nate

In a few days I'll be joining you vinyl junkies, just gotta pick her up

I just bought a very nice toy, so gotta hold off on purchasing for now. It should be another year for their next price hike so I'm in no hurry. And they are still a great deal, those box sets are 2-3x more at the local Borders/Barnes and Noble.

I have the Complete Bitches Brew, Jack Johnson, and Cellar Door. All are very good, but I prefer the condensed version of Bitches Brew. I'm tempted to activate again to get Miles and Coltrane and Complete Silent Way.

Buy every Miles boxset. Thank me later. Apology to your wallet in advance.

I know you wouldn't

The single Earth Intruders is on the net and radio. Produced by Timbaland, very different from her other songs but IMO very good and continues to show how diverse a producer Timbaland can be.

SPOILERS I think Adama is just too big a character to be a cylon at this point. I think cylon Leoban was a lieing piece of shit, he was out to deceive everyone including Adama in part two of the mini series. THAR BE SPOILERS ABOVE THIS

Probably John Grado That hum you hear is the tubes warming up. edit: not sure if this caused the RS-1 death, but I'd let the tubes warm up for at least a minute before you let any music play.

Hell:

Very nice Nate. Is there improvement using the SB3 as a digital transport?

I just checked that thread (god I hate the portable forum), if you wanted to do it the proper way you host the images on your own server so that you can change them out on your end instead of editing the post (leaving proof for others to see, like a few people called you out on). Looks like the mods were one step ahead of you.
