Thanks Reks. The fix only lasted a couple of hours, so out with the logic board, maybe sometime this week. If I can't fix it, I may want to talk to you, but I don't really want to put much money into this thing. I'm starting to remind myself of Spicoli... http://youtu.be/A5cneCgNA9U

Not as serious as those in Irene, but made me pretty happy. Got my Powermac G5 running again. The Apple store "genius" sure as hell couldn't After getting it to boot last Sunday (wife took it down there) after reseating the RAM, only comment was "can't get parts for these anymore". Maybe if you built the parts correctly, this wouldn't be an issue Probably only temporary, as I will wind up needing to pull the logic board and fixing some of the goddamn leadfree solder issues around the DIMM sockets (184 pins x 4). I used a heatgun to heat these up, reinserted the memory (after allowing it to cool). Boot... yay! First time in a week. Passed memtest twice on the RAM I have installed. Sent the 2G back to Crucial, so will reinstall when the new (or old) ones return.

Happy Birthday Postjack! Hope you see a good show or something!

Yeah, good luck to all of you in the path. Stay safe!

Happy Birthday!

Congrats Ric (and Melissa)! This Guru you speak of... this is he of Dynahi (in)fame?

I just remember when I started into this (with my early '90s SR-60s being the only phone I owned), building my first Cmoy/A47 and how badly it kicked the headphone out on the Hafler DH-110 preamp I had at the time...

You are right, but I was talking more in terms of newbies who might think that $100 is an expensive set of phones... and now I need what? An amp? $500? You're kidding, right?

I have a lot of respect for Pete's work, but I have a bit of a problem with "a starter amp" and "$495" in the same sentence? A Cmoy (or mini3, or Starving Student) is a great "starter" amp... Kinda like when you read a review in Stereophile of a $5K preamp and hear it described as "budget" gear Nice of you to make it available as a loaner to HC

Alright, like I said, I haven't listened to much (any?) of his stuff. BTW, I grew up during the '70s, and I don't really listen to ANY '70s music anymore. Wheels of Fire and Aqualung I might consider. The rest? Heh.

Happy Birthday Matt!

Great idea for a thread! And of course steve hoffman has to be the bestest Not that I have extensively listened to his stuff, but the BS meter feeling is strong with this one...

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

What is the size of the Dyna PSU board, particularly the heatsink side? If you have any spares, I might be interested in 1. My sigma22 on my dynahi runs pretty toasty with the onboard heatsinks.

Happy Birthday!

Got mine as well, thanks to both you and KG for these!

^ Great news Dusty! Best wishes to your mom for a full recovery.

Best wishes for you mom Dusty. Sounds like compression stockings or T.E.D. hose Al. Hope your dad is doing better. Swollen leg is not a good sign on the clot department, but hopefully it will dissolve over time. Scott, that might be Bell's palsy that your dad is experiencing... I'm not a doctor, just had it once. At any rate, best wishes for your dad as well.

Good news about your dad Vicki!

Bring back Rubicon... >> Walking Dead by a mile IMHO

Ran out at lunch today and met Ryan to grab his Adcom CDP that I am building a pair of Colin's discrete I/V boards for. In doing so, I also got to meet Molly, his adorable baby girl. What a cutie! I think she thought I was a bit odd, and didn't have much to say Can't say I blame her... Also grabbed the chicago travel whore pair of LCD2s of Jon's that I will listen to briefly. I think it's about time Jon got to use his own pair of phones, so I won't keep them long.

Happy Birthday Tyll!

Who stood out at the early Lollapaloozas, at least to you Dan? Some bands in there that I would have liked to have seen...

Glad you had fun Bryan. Can't believe you missed The Kills on Friday though Muse vs. Coldplay? meh, not big fans of either, though I guess seeing either of them would be cool. I wish I could have gone a couple of years ago when Radiohead played. Might try to go next year, depending upon who is going to be there.
