PhotoshopDisasters: Samsung: XXL-CD Notes to Eddie before posting: Check people in India are not all dwarfs Have CDs gotten bigger? Maybe this is like a CD LP? or a CD 78? Is it unreasonable to expect people who make CDs to know how big they are? They seem so happy

^^ Doesn't it need words to be a song? otherwise it's *just* music, or a tune

Back in the day, I was able to spool up my dad's Reel to Reel without out too much effort. Together with a friend we discovered the fun you could have with a microphone and a set of headphones, given that the record head came before the play head (quality heads, optimized for their dedicated tasks) - lookup tape echo loops, and feedback. Manually advancing the tape to get vari-speed, or recording at one speed and playing back at another to get pitch-shifting. Dragging on the reels, when two were playing back to get Flanging! Reversing the tape to get backwards playback. (Think of all those backwards piano sounds with a slowly rising attack) The simple joy of pausing and restarting the recording, when using this as a source, enabled you to get Troy Tempest saying the craziest things (thing of making an analogue, manual, near real time, mashup) . Ah Happy Days. And the discovery that you could get "modern" tape formulations (think CrO2, or Metal, like cassette tapes compared to the original Ferric (rust coloured tapes, that shed on the tapes heads like no ones business)) with better S/N - at 7.5 or 15 ips, no hiss, who needed Dolby! Back to your problem with the counter? Does resetting it back to 0000 help (i.e. is it slipping in its current position, is it stuck, or just disconnected) . Essentially it's a mileometer (odometer) for the tape distance, driven by reduction gearing off the tape capstan (roller). If that doesn't work, you could get really old school, get some mark-able tape you can write on (think masking tape), put it on one (or several) of the radial arms of the tape spools, and mark the radius of the tape on the spool when the track begins. Annotate the Mark, and then key the marking on the spool to a track list on the case of the spool. Think of it as a .cue file for the tape. Then just advance/rewind until the radius of the tape matches the marking and you should be close to the track start/end! (7.5 + 15ips makes this easier , as the tracks are "fatter") Have fun and enjoy! Its all good character building stuff

Vicki, sorry to hear about your day. No doubt your evil twin made an appearance for a few (or many) choice words.

As stated before, if you have a HDCD capable HDCD, and you can bit perfect rip, you get to light up the HDCD light If you don't have a HDCD capeable dac, you can do on the fly expansion in squeezecenter using hdcd.exe, or preprocess using hdcd.exe , or use the HDCD plugin for DBPoweramp. Helps if you have a 24bit capable DAC for the expanded output. MeridianWiki - Handling HDCD Or just use expectation bias in you favo(u)r, and think to yourself before listening, that "man, this HDCD special sauce really is the shiznit"

Works for me, looks like the opening sequence for a Top Gear review

Hmm, I must have mis-remembered Can Jam and a certain weasel, then

Happy Birthday to you, Sir!

John Peel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia said about Teenage Kicks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 'There's nothing you could add to it or subtract from it that would improve it.' In 1978, John Peel played the song twice in a row on his Radio 1 show. Peel often rated new bands' songs with 1 to 5 stars. He liked "Teenage Kicks" so much he awarded 28 stars. "Teenage Kicks" was acoustically covered by Snow Patrol in tribute to John Peel, and was played at his funeral. He wanted the lyrics on his tombstone, and his wish was granted John Peel gets Teenage Kicks epitaph - Telegraph

Have you considered mpd (music player daemon) Music Player Daemon Community Wiki as the back end / server based player You an use lots of different front ends as clients (Clients - Music Player Daemon Community Wiki) to drive the back end (just like another software based back end I could think of) Have you tried contacting ( or inviting) linuxworks from the other place He has even gone as far as creating Hardware based network client controllers for mpd ...

RIP Les. Responsible for for, not only works of beauty, like this But also the multi track innovations, amongst many other things. Les Paul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A true innovator. We have much to thank him for.

Now posted in the correct thread. With the correct names :palm: Cut-N-Paste from the other place (since corrected ) First off, mad props to meet meister jp11801 for making this happen, and going the extra mile to ensure that there was enough room for everyone. Several bags of kudos to the vendors for bringing some impressive products, and supporting the community. This felt like a mini can jam, with another chance to experience some of the best our hobby has to offer, both in equipment, and the people that make it so rewarding. It also felt like can jam in that there was an embarrassment of riches, and still not enough time to sample all the gear, or spend time with everyone you wanted to. The photo's give you an idea of just how much high end kit was around, and yet it was just as much fun to catch up with people, put faces to names, and help the meet first timers. On the transducer side, the two highlights were the same as at Can Jam. The JH-13's and the HD-800's Iron Dreamer was doing an excellent job making sure that people experienced the JH-13's to their full potential. I was impressed with them at Can Jam, and I was not disappointed here. I described them as "Stupid Good" as it is just ridiculous how good they sound. They are impressive from a Sansa Clip playing flacs, as a minimalist rig, and were more impressive yet from the usb pico dac/amp from a laptop. Not only on the usual audiophile suspect tracks, but also on a wide variety of music, which I think is telling. They shine in meet conditions due to the isolation, which lead to the surreal experience of being a few feet away from JP involved in a spirited conversation, seeing his lips move, but hearing nothing. Life imitating the art of his "Problem Solved" T-shirt. I wonder how long it will be before someone comes up with a balanced system that pairs with the JH-13 ... Thanks to Voltron, for allowing his HD-800's to be tried out the systems at the meet. I managed to spend some quality time with Fallen Angel's β22 allowing me a chance to enjoy this quality paring. At a recent BBQ, a non head-fi'er on being informed of the HD-800's existence and their cost responded "$1400 headphones? How is that even possible:confused:". It is possible, and we should rejoice in that possibility. I did Al is also to be commended for the mini Van Jam recreation as we headed out for the near obligatory In-N-Out run. No smoke or fire this time, but there was a curiously large amount of liquid for no discernible reason. I dread to think what Chicago holds for us. Other highlights from the blur that was the rest of the meet included (but were not limited to) Frank Cooters gorgeous tube based works of art AMB, the man, the designs, the builds, and the cryptic comment to "watch this space" Fallen Angel's impressive collection of Amp's and Headphones, glad we managed to find sources for them all Linux Works DIY control systems Seeing double with two Reel to Reels in the same room Engaging people who recognize a broken protocol when they see one, in conversation Blessingx's attempt to corner the market in out of production Parasound DAC's Matt Fury - for making it in from Vegas, Baby! Seeing all the new faces - which bodes well for the future bigguy's wife Becky's tasty treats - always good to end a meet on a sugar high! Here's to the next Bay Area Meet! **************** Additional pic's would be redundant

Quite Right. Late posting and having read too much "What are you eating now" must have left me dazed and confused. Let me correct that.

Happy Birthday, Tyll. Telling you to go enjoy yourself is redundant at the best of times, today especially so. Just let us know the highlights
