The Knuckledragger 3rd Memorial Slow Forum Post
Grahame replied to Knuckledragger's topic in Off Topic
He does not need cable lifters. When he enters a room, speaker cables lift themselves out of respect. He does not buy remastered records. He remasters his own. He can bias power tubes to within 1mV ... by ear. Mark Levinson build a custom preamp for him ... with tone controls and loudness. He traps his own bass. He has never listened to "Jazz at the Pawnshop" ... he just happened to be there and gave the recording engineer a few pointers. McIntosh chose the color of his eyes for its VU meters. His list of equipment is The Recommended List of Components. His interpretation of Wife Acceptance Factor is completely different from yours ... and it has nothing to do with speakers. Diana Krall ogles at his photos. Hewlett-Packard uses his perfect 1Khz whistle to calibrate their test equipment. His mere presence causes jitter in lesser components ... even analog ones. When one of his girlfriend asked for diamonds for their anniversary, he bought himself a pair of B&W 800D speakers -- and she was ecstatic. His ears are insured with Lloyd's of London. It is said that Dave Wilson was inspired to build and name their MAXX speaker after seeing him naked in the locker room shower. It is also rumored that his beard shavings are the secret ingredients in Wilson Speaker's X Material. Michael Fremer credits him for the vinyl revival. When he is in the audience at a concert, Keith Jarrett refrains from making those annoying grunts and noises when he plays. He once arm wrestled Eveanna Manley ... and won. The moment he takes a new piece of equipment out of the store it appreciates in value by 40%. He is ... the most interesting audiophile in the world. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ele/4604537977.html -

Because: No contention? Or are you just Doppler shifting the packets as you race towards the tower? Either way, not too shabby.

Testing to see if you can toast butter basted poundcake in a griddle / panini press ... And the answer is ... Why, yes, yes you can.

Looks like Comcast has rolled out their upgrade here. Was perusing DSL forums that seemed to indicate they would remote reboot your cable modem at some point. or you could just reboot it yourself. so I did, using http://192.168.100.1/cmConfig.htm maybe able to use this for your own (see if http://192.168.100.1/index.htm works for you - and you have a SB modem) Rebooted, and voila! For comparison, previously, earlier in the year Guess I'll hit the data cap in half the time now!

Yep, Tyler could rock what is an open "pro gaming" headset, without looking like it was designed by a 12 year old Or the more recent ( G4ME ONE , srysly) ... with the red accents They have an inline volume control wheel , but maybe you should just plug the headphone out into something like , or can you route the audio through software , end EQ / compress / limit via software plugins ?

Radio Paradise app 3.0 now allows you to stream @320kbps AAC, and can pre-cache up to 12 hours of "broadcast" that you can listen to, without using "your data plan" - ideal for your commute, or that transatlantic flight. Nice upgrade, and can AirPlay as well (or mirror if you want the slideshow on your Apple TV)

And In related news, the new mixlr for iPad app, apart from having the obligatory "abstract" icon (having an 'M' in it is soo "representationalist") seems to be able to AirPlay the Test Tone showreels to an appleTV without repeated buffering, compared to previously, so there's that.
