yeah its a rock for sure.

DAC1 PRE - Benchmark Media Systems, Inc. I have never heard a DAC1, and I get the impression that they are generally frowned upon here at Head-Case, while the rest of the audio world seems to be impressed. The review of the new Benchmark DAC1 PRE in the most recent Hi-Fi news was nothing short of glowing. Ken Kessler couldn't seem to find enough good things to say about this unit, including that it made one recording "...sound as lush and room-filling as a mint original vinyl pressing." So anyone heard one of these? Its level of functionality truly is enticing at its price tag of $1575.

she's gorgeous nate, many congrats on the beautiful healthy child.

nope, but i'll put those on my check 'em out list

thanks, i'll get it cracked open and take a look at it, reporting my results back here. It should be a decent enough power supply since my computer is a gaming machine. Manufacturer is Velocity Micro, which are the "good parts" computers Best Buy sells. Purchased Christmas '06.

Yo- I'm a bit of a hardware amateur. I'm looking to upgrade my video card (from a 7950GT to an 8800GT, either a BFG or eVGA) and am wondering if I should upgrade my computer's power supply at the same time. I do not know how to check to see what kind of PSU my computer uses, outside of opening it up. Can anyone tell me how? Thanks.

There is pretty much no one I can think of with the brains, heart, and work ethic necessary to do "Meet The Press" justice. I'm afraid whoever they choose might just piss me off. Maybe Juan Williams, but I'm afraid he's too young.

This amp is the supreme taco. Looking forward to your honest comparison.

that's the word. I am deeply saddened, I expected to grow at least into middle age watching him grill politicians on Meet The Press.

I'm shocked. He is my absolute favorite newsman.

thanks tkam, I love vB. The quick reply function is a relief for mobile users, and sorry jb, but I like the lack of the new reply warning for the same reason.

Started playing Age of Conan this weak. Rolled a ToS on Mannanan. Pretty fun so far, I like the mature storyline, immersion factor, and combat.

on my VP129 it was fucking impossible without pliers, I kid you not. but hell, its a 12ax7 tube on a cheap ass phono stage. just throw in an Ei and be done with it. that one you only need your tooly thing once.

Excellent point, if the case was intended for travelling. Instead it was intended as a stay-at-home-home for pricey HP2s. Elephas, you should try lining it with some sort of silk, a la the W5000 flight case.

grats papa nato!

Vicki, you can thank Salty for passing up on the O2 first.

Seems like other modders are phasing things out as well. Dan Wright doesn't have Denon mods up on his new web page, just Sonys.

Tha carter 3 woot. Also new jacket is the hotness. Thanks for the heads up jb. This thread delivers!

Just bit the bullet and preordered the Dead Can Dance SACDs from Acoustic Sounds.

shitballs, nine inch nails is playing voodoofest this year!

The early 80s JGB like on the recent "After Midnight: Live At Kean College" release was tight as all hell. Really fun hearing jerry in a stripped down four piece like that. That recording has fantastic sound and mastering for the record, which is not the case with all the Pure Jerry releases.

live bass/drums at a metal show get me off, though. nowhere else can I feel the music viscerally like that.

tubez

Eagles suck. I can't disown Seger though. He has way too many classic 70s rock singles that are damn near perfect pop songs.
