  1. I just ordered the zagg invisible shield, hope it delivers as promised. I'll likely get a padded case for travel not sure what yet but I'll drink a few growlers and hit amazon.
  2. You made 5 or so posts without any consideration of the new member PM you received, then wondered why you were "targeted". By the way your use of the word targeted tells me all I need to know about you. Oh and the JH13s are all that and a bag of chips. I keep vacillating between getting and not getting the 16s but I am concerned that if the bass is tipped up it may wind up being too much of a good thing.
  3. Tyler my brother from another mother, Happy Birthday I hope you are having a great day.
  4. 64gb moar memory is mo betta
  5. my network has been solid, the Zinio app cost me 20 bucks in mag subscriptions today
  6. Happy B-Day hope you are rocking the vinyl and speakers!
  7. I could have gone for slightly larger screen size, Apple probably considered the size of the pad vs weight given you have to hold it or balance it to prop it up. Last night I watched like 5 episodes of Dollhouse on netflix instant and thought the quality was fantastic
  8. downsides are the screen is a fingerprint magnet and is really reflective
  9. Watching netflix instant on mine now look great.
  10. Al so much anger, mine is synching at the moment
  11. THE EAGLE HAS LANDED!
  12. mine is in the city of brotherly love ( no not SF)
  13. I've got a few custom roll Diademas we should burn with the weather cooperating Thrice fingers crossed for you
  14. good times, good times
  15. I do believe you were right there with me kissing HD800 ass my friend and as for the 404 le I think (but could be wrong booze being what it is) that I qualified the statement based on price/performance. I am pretty happy with the O2's but after the 4070s arrive two enter the cage but only one shall remain in Carlisle
  16. UPS just released them from Ky and I assume they are on the way to my local hub for delivery tomorrow
  17. My O2 mkls have just arrived from Japan in great shape and sounding sweet. While I know east/west coast representation has ranked them third overall in the Stax world, they are floating my boat. Sonic Studio 305 > eXsTaTa > Os mkl is rocking my world on the Abbey Road remaster
  18. Whats not to like, other than you probably can't figure out how to set it up?
  19. YouTube - MetricHaloAudio's Channel click on the link for youtbe vid instructions
  20. Mike and Al, if you are using the metric halo/sonic dac/adcs, you can turn your wireless keyboard into a remote for the monitor console. Yes, rowmote pro is good as an airmouse and rowmote does an ok job as a remote for amarra.

    Magnepan 1.7

    The owner of the store is a Magnepan dealer and strongly supports the line I have to assume he has what he feels is a reasonable set up to represent a favorite of his. I do however do think that a better amp may improve the bass and imagining of the 1.7s. I did like them and hope my comment s do not come off as a bash I was just not bowled over once I level set with my speakers upon my return home.
  22. Well I've owned my Alon Lotus SE speakers for close to a year now and love them. They sounded great in my house in Cali as the room had decent diffusion and not much of an echo. When I loved to PA and set them up in my second story loft they sounded pretty awful. There was a fairly massive echo and no real low bass to speak of. I have used some auralex treatments in the past and they are ok but in this room they just did not do the trick. So after much searching on the web I checked out GIK as there panels are reasonably well made and very fairly priced based on parts cost and minimal labor costs. At $70 a panel for their 244 panel ( a 2' x 4' and 4" deep) I picked up 8 panels for my 13 x 18 room. After hanging 4 and placing the other 4 ( I probably could have just used 6) the sound has taken a huge leap forward. Images are much more defined micro detail in spades with much better extension on the top and bottom end. I understood how the absorption panels would reduce echo and clean up the mids and highs but I was not prepared for the distinct improvement in bass response in both quantity and quality. As yo can see still have some work to do in the room like figuring out the TV placement and better placement of the rack as well as removal of the second rack. I am thinking of trying to ceiling mount a panel for first refections there as well as making up some corner ceiling traps but for now I am just enjoying my system and kicking myself for not doing this sooner. Any suggestions regarding placement of panels is appreciated as well.
