No Dollhouse this week.

What flavor?

Jesus christ that's gorgeous -- corner loading and what looks like at least partially to be transmission line.

I thought it was difficult because the drivers are particularly prone to damage due to inadequate heatsinking during the soldering process. I presume they still sound okay?

Well, rebooting is a little easier -- just hold down the top button for a while (no cradle necessary). Should give you the "slide to confirm" window...circling ellipses for a second or two...and then down. Then hold down the top button for a while again, and it should come up. I presume you tried that. The point was not correcting you, nor ojnihs (well yeah, but not really), but so that anyone else who was following along at home didn't feel like they had to do all that every time they just wanted to reboot. It's wireless, has multiple connectivities, and if there's a network burp in mid protocol, could possibly act like any other machine and hang on that -- that's my theory, anyway.

That's not rebooting, that's resetting. Puts it into maintenance mode.

OSI, Blood -- could be the best thing they've done.

What is that for, TrueBlood?

Quad -- possibly...I have to pull my GW Labs power amp out of mothballs and see what combination it takes...I seem to remember it taking a variety of power tubes, EL34 or KTxx somethings, don't remember...

Nope, (up to) 24/96 pure and true.

I really like that room treatment there between the two speakers on the floor. Oh, and nice view!

Ah, you are explaining why the question wasn't asked before. Got it. I can be so slow sometimes.

Well I obviously needed to ask...

Oh. Thanks.

Someone wanna design me a KT66 amp? It's gorgeous. I think I actually have a 6CA7 amp...Nope, that would be 6CG7...never mind...someone wanna design me a 6CA7/EL34 amp? For 12AX7, try the Sovtek 12AX7LPS and/or the Ei Elite 12AX7EG. I don't do EL34, otherwise I'd give some advice there. Try some of the advice I received here (some of the advice is a bit old, though, as the thread is a couple years old at this point).

No, the most awesome idea is to use bacon...as a dielectric!

WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE A HARD DRIVE IN YOUR FREEZER?!?!? I can't believe this many posts have gone by with no-one asking that question.

I don't own one, but I've looked at a friend's. The electronic paper technology is entirely different to look at than LCD/LED technology -- much less fatiguing. I would love to have access to that kind of technology for some of the papers I read without having to print them out.

Hot.

I already answered that: Texas. And yes, it does get hot in Texas. A girl I was fond of wrote me from there. Her impression: "it's hot".

I give up. I just wrote them and asked. (This does not preclude someone else asking on one of the Twisted Pear threads.)

I have a friend who spent a good deal of time in Phoenix. He said you could basically point a camera in any direction blind-folded and get a good shot. (I presume you mean nature.) I guess it depends what you like to look at.

Because Sony charges too much to do native DSD? I'm not sure if this applies to DAC chips. Except that it says that the Hyperstream DAC is a 32-bit DAC, which pretty much tells me that they're converting it to PCM. Don't you think? (Not being sarcastic, honest question.)
