Squeezebox Touch with a USB hardrive connected directly to it. My total cost was under $350, all new hardware. I never even have to have a computer on. The hardrive is 1.5 TB all lossless no lossy. The Touch interface rocks. And it's not limited to 16/44. I switched from using SlimServer on my desktop PC to connecting the USB drive directly to the Touch not too long ago. I like to think I'm lowering my energy bill just a little, but running a 50 watt Class A speaker amp probably isn't helping

Well that strikes one person off the list if I ever need to get Quads refurbished. At least the gentleman I spoke to at QS&D was courteous and so was kentaja.

Totally understandable. I'm in for the regular board set everyone else will be getting.

KG any chance the all out assualt KGSS originally mentioned in the first page of this thread will be seeing a board set? The version with higher biased output stage and chassis mounted heatsinks.

Not to add to the fuuuu, but watch The Wire with commentary when you lot have a chance.

Anyone running a dedicated mono cart? I'm curious if anyone is getting less noise on mono LPs vs a stereo cart. If you know if the cart has vertical compliance or none that would be helpful to know as well.

Yeah I somehow ended up with three Jets players. One with a four game suspension and a QB that is probably going to have a mediocre season, I still drafted him in case he gets on fire with a little experience. Twelve teams is rough, putting together a good team on my live draft eight team one was much simpler

Happy birthday Jack, don't let the mutants keep you down

Procol Harum - self titled dew want this on UK vinyl. Such a good album.

Yup

Round trip airfare to Paris, then tickets from Paris to Frankfurt.

Looks good to me. That will be a heck of a nice system.

IMO by the time any game is able to take advantage of 6 cores the processor speed will be well out of date. Gaming benchmark comparing it with the 750: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3674/amds-sixcore-phenom-ii-x6-1090t-1055t-reviewed/9 750 looks faster all around by quite a bit in some benches.

I don't know too much about the Phenom II X6. I would avoid computer forums and just look at raw benchmarks for games you're interested in.

You should be able to build an i5 system for under $1000 (as linked in the article), but you're right with AMD you can go a lot cheaper. The Athlon II X3 440 is a terrific performer for how cheap they are. But around the Core i5-750 price range there is nothing from AMD in that price bracket that can beat it. I'm going by US prices though.

This is a good guide TR's Summer 2010 system guide - The Tech Report - Page 1 The bang for the buck "utility player" systems perform really well. I would go the Core i5 route.

Naked City - Absinthe

The only fun Stax model that comes to mind is the Lambda Pro, and that's for its boomy, dynamic-esque bass. I do not recommend Stax.

Icarium organized one a while ago, it worked out in the end, but it was a lot of hassle IIRC.

Animal Collective - Feels

Add Diana Krall to the mix. I didn't say similar, just boring (unimaginative, not interesting) all in a genre that is quite innovative. Reks we have our differences on this subject, but I know you have introduced me to some kick ass stuff so I'll just leave it at that.

IMO her music is on par with Kenny G as far as interesting and innovative go. Your last.fm does have Horace Parlan's best album in there so all is forgiven

x3 don't forget the ipad!

Patricia Barber is boring
