So is DOTU also Number Six? Well, they are both vinyl fans Too Late! the mods (#2) have set Rover on him!

Yet another example that Christmas comes early, here on head case. Sweet amp, sweet build, deserving owner. Almost makes it worth the trip into the office.

I always liked "Totally Gridbag", but its for a niche audience.

Happy Birthday Sir! Think Happy Birthday Thoughts

Hope your four came with the tops on!

DAC direct to power Amp This is a perennial topic on the slim devices forum. Many people are interested in driving their power amp / speakers / active speakers directly, without a preamp. The issue is one of gain staging - so that the maximum output of the DAC yields the maximum desired volume from the speakers, with the best S/NR for the signal path. This often entails some passive attenuation to the output of the DAC, to obtain the desired results. Good starting points (in addition to the search function) are This Wiki entry Connect To PowerAmp - SqueezeboxWiki esp. the reference links at the end.

Looks like you're late to the concept of search engines too! Just Fucking Google It Just Fucking Google It Just Fucking Google It But why is bittorrent useful to me? Because downloading in parallel from a cloud of peers may be faster that downloading from a single source? And is it easy to us There are bittorrent clients that reduce it to point and click.

But you can feel the pull of a balanced β22 and σ22, can't you? >>

So, are you saying I could have had her, but I'm married, so I didn't? or is it more "Look at that!", "But You're married!", "Yes, but I'm not dead!" When the evolutionary programming takes over, and my wife finds me observing fertile Californian youth, she knowingly remarks. "Grahame, they are half your age. Good luck with that. The sad part is, they are some fraction of my age. At least they don't like me for the wrong reasons.

Have you tried discussing this with your wife? What is her take on the matter? Maybe she can remind you why you chose her against all the competition

Al, Yet another sweet looking (and sounding) setup. Now I guess I know the answer to the question "What does it take to get Al away from his Harbeth's at the office" The things you do to JP on his birthday week. First, he gets to miss Tampa, and them you need him for some "help" with a little unfinished business. I wonder how the pitch for that went. ... JP, I have a task for you. It involves the relocation of some merchandise, about the size and weight of a pair of dead bodies. As your counsel I advise you not to refuse this offer. Now all you'll need is the matching ATC SCA 2 with SPH 2 option, if the White Unicorn doesn't do it for you. So when is the listening party?

And on that bombshell!

"It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If 'is' means 'is and never has been' that's one thing - if it means 'there is none', that was a completely true statement," he said.

Self-referential irony alert!

Audio recording | Hear the difference | The Economist But in the hands of experts, the best analogue and digital systems are virtually indistinguishable. Warmth can be dialed into digital circuitry. Clarity, spaciousness and purity of tone can be produced by top-end analogue amplifiers. Stuck with equipment that’s less than ideal, it’s no surprise that the vast majority of purists on either side of the tube-versus-transistor divide have their prejudices confirmed. And so the religious audio wars rage on. Heresy? Check out the comments. I liked this one. I have never listened to a valve amplifier. It's a peculiarly American high end hangup in my opinion.

Happy Birthday Billy. "BA CHAM! waWawA!"
