I agree with what's already been concluded: microphonicity (?word) and bad or dying tube. The only additional piece of information/opinion I'd offer is that bad tubes can sometimes be confused for a bad connection (tube to socket), but that usually results in a bad tube anyway. So progold and deoxit. Even if you end up replacing the tube, it's good to make sure you have a good connection.

Okay, so maybe the resistor is "cheating" by sending it this signal from one of the power lines? Maybe it's just a single DC signal...well, it has to be something simple like that, if the AV cables work with it, which apple says it does.

Okay, it has to be entirely in software, because it's the same exact cables.

Sounds like a breed of dog.

Amazon has Buffy for $70 today only. That's $10/season.

Again, that's the controls, I think the actual lineouts are the same. I'll try it tonight.

...and people with allergies...to faceplants.

Don't they all work?

Bond's best double-entendres -- now you know what kind of man reads Maxim.

Solid stainless steel, not chrome. And I think I want it anodized. And: oops, wrong pic, meant this: ...and technically, I haven't bought it yet. And no, it's not a rectal thermometer, it's for my tea. And yes, I had to look up what a "tamper" is, and yes, I did giggle when I looked at this gallery (of buttplugs).

Actually, I don't mind him resurrecting my thread with actual advice (I.E. advice > dirt), so no banning, please.

Alright, both cables did it this time. Next time the battery discharges, I'm going to reformat it for windows (complete different computer). I only just got the thing, so it should still be under warranty. Question -- is there a way to modify the cable so that it doesn't charge, but one can still transfer songs onto it?

You really can't get much cheaper -- just use the analog outputs from your computer, if you're that desperate/impatient/cheap/tiddlywinks.

Do they have any kits? Although I suspect that wouldn't be sufficiently DIY for Kevin.

No, I just want something -- possibly several somethings -- anodized black.

Yes.

He looks like he was born in the middle of a tornado. He still has that wind-blown hair look. It's probably permanent.

What is wrong with you?

Yeah, that's good advice, especially since they're both refurbs.

No, pretty sure her name is Jessica.

She turns me on.

So 240 for 160 is even better, and it's not necessarily stealing, but perhaps coercing...?

So is 280 for a 160 a good deal, do ya think? The more I think about it, the more I think this is the perfect solution for me. It gives me the opportunity to upgrade the DAC as I can afford to, and...that's pretty much it. I like 'simple'.

It was a vague statement. There's a lot of silliness, I just wanted to know which one.
