Well to keep things in perspective, for the price of one set of Kimber Black Pearls you could have nearly six miles of Canare 4S11. This will allow you to listen to your home rig while at work.

My guess is that it is either local or Greenwich Mean time. GMT: Greenwich Mean Time - World Time / Time in every Time Zone

That's a regular night's sleep for a new parent. Just wait until she brings home a cold from pre-school then it is up every two hours for meds and bed checks for six straight days. Sounds tough but you will get used to it, makes you appreciate life more. Think about it, before you had a daughter, did you ever think for one minute that a full night of uninterupted sleep was one of the greatest joys to be had? Pretty soon losing your sense of smell will be another thing to wish for.

Nice! I got my triple Fis for net $0 once I knocked over the ATM by my office. A good day in all.

Nate I do not believe I gave you permission to show pics of my builds. You will be hearing from my attorney, as soon as he gets out of jail.

Happy Birthday David!

I used the 4S11, but if you have seen any of my cable builds, it might be the builder, not the cable. I did say "a bit muddy" not real bad just slightly and yes they were used in a fostex 166 based system, but it could be me.

You're saying that Furutech sold IEC jacks without their name stamped anywhere on the jack? No pics necessary, your word/memory is good enough, I guess I am wrong there. Like this?

Very nice! I love Contis. On what wheels? Have to be carbon fiber wheels yes?

Thanks for your comments. I think I need to give myself a time out for a while.

My bad. Sorry, just a wee bit suspicious of everyone nowadays for some reason.

Yes, I am aware of the general situation with Kyle and Doug Jesse as it stands now. The problem I have with Kyle is that I paid for mods which Kyle himself supervised, Doug Jesse had nothing to do with my mods. With my $450 mod, parts were not installed and I believe some of the mods were done incorrectly. Klye of course disagrees and has offered to work on my dac to fix what I believe should have been done right the first time. My issue with Kyle is why would I trust anyone who supervised and perhaps had a hand in mods that were not not done and when done, done poorly?

Oh it is not going well at all. I have a lot to share when it comes time, but IIWY I would wait for a while, a long while before considering the mods and RAM.

Basically, yes. I was charged for two LeClanche PIO caps, that were not installed. I was charged for a Furutech IEC, I did not receive. RAM insists the IEC installed is Furutech yet there is no Furutech logo/lable anywhere on the IEC jack. There are many other issues I will detail later but I am waiting for a refund offer from RAM. At this point I paid $450, yeah I know a stupid move but that was then hopefully I am smarter now, for parts and work not delivered. Ram has offered a refund of $110 because they claim they did some of the work. I am contemplating whether it is worth the trouble and bad mood I will be in for the next two months to pursue things via another channel. They are located in California, and I am located in California.

Sigh. Still waiting, I know some Verizon managers who told me about this four years ago and an announcement seven months ago that it was coming to the LA area, yeah right. Re: KG's comment "What does coming soon mean?"

What's up with this? \/\/\/\/\/ Cosecant USB DAC v3 (now with ASYNC mode) and the Benchmark USB DAC 1 | Computer Audiophile OP post #1 am I missing something? Full disclosure would be nice.

Actually, they look like someone unravelled a inductor. I thought of the same thing for RCAs just haven't gotten around to trying it yet. I have two sets of DIY Canare Starquad speaker cables and I find them nothing special, cheap yes but the sound is a bit muddy if anything, Not bad but not great. --Ask Germania, ahh never mind.

Congratulations Vicky and Reks on the new jobs. I just sent a final warning to Reference Audio Mods regarding a refund I am requesting for a mod job they charged for but didn't perform. I am weighing my options and trying to get back into a good mood so that I don't spoil the rest of my day and week. Sipping a Venti coffee and trying to change my mood.

Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!! Eye and ear opening to start my day. My office just grew, the music space grew 1/3 wider and 1/3 longer. Perhaps I should dump my cheapy 1543 dac and get a Bel Canto like Ardvark Sandwich. Nice work Luis!

Finally, a practical solution to address my storage and back up obsession. Thanks AS.

Well this may a bit late but I will post my impressions from earlier today anyway. I did not read the posts in this thread until after I listened to both tracks a couple of times. For me, both tracks seemed a little compressed, number one more so. Track number two seemed to have a wider soundstage with a bit more depth. I detected a faint reverb on track two, perhaps some added distortion or transient artifacts, I am not sure. They were very close but I give the edge to track number two. FWIW, I used my office tripath chip amp and a modest 1453 chip NOS dac.

Absolutely! The tripples offer more of everything and fit better than any ety ever did for me.

Very nice! Lucky dude.

Happy Fathers Day to all!
