A nice standard double old-fashioned to join Mike and Al. Will be nice to have you back mixing again Shelly.

Perfect time. That is old enough to be retro.

Oh, so "thought leader" is a synonym for douchebag.

My Marantz AV-7005 I went from a huge rats nest of cables on the old pre/pro to 3 HDMI in, 1 out, a pair of stereo in from TT, coax in from squeezebox (though that may be on the way out as it is AirPlay enabled), 1 network io and 6 preamp out. Since it has a built-in phono stage and tuner I got rid of my outboard tuner and phono stage. Basically everything is simpler. Having it network connected is awesome as it has a built in web interface which works excellently with the iPad and makes switching sources and setup, quick, easy and painless. Plus it doesn't sound half bad. Highly recommended.

The PCBs arrived today. They are so damn cute.

The music list needs to be three pages, followed by the three sentence comparison.

Call up Fitz to get you stuff.

Wait! I thought the O2 was the one amp to rule them all, but only with specific phones? How can this be?

Glencairn whisky glass. You can get them on Amazon for a lot less than the Reidel. I do have a couple of Reidel Bourbon glasses but I still prefer the Glencairn.

You are not confused. They are at least 5 years behind the times.

That's a beauty Al. Congrat.

Raising a Little Italy to Vicki's dad.

Impressive, that is.

The 42" plasma would be easy. If I go bigger it will be 50 as that won't be any harder than 46. Anything bigger would likely get me thrown out of the house.

Nothing is out of the question, but I like to choose my battles carefully.

I'm OK with that but I would be immediately vetoed by a higher authority. Also, will not be purchasing until after the Holidays.

So you did such a great job of recommending an AV Pre/pro that I am going to ask for an HDTV recommendation. I want to replace the bedroom television. Currently it is a 32" 720p JVC. The new one should be a minimum of 37" with a max of 40something. Needs to do 1080p and a minimum of two HDMI inputs. All else is up in the air.

Congrat Shelly!

Nothing special. Actually pretty meh. A Little Italy would have been better. You need to hire your own personal bartender. Isn't that covered as part of your rehab?

While checking the recipe for the Little Italy I ran across a recipe for a Little Italy Manhattan 2 oz Maison Surenne Petite Champagne Cognac 1 oz Cocchi Barolo Chinato A goodly dash Bittercubes Jamaican #2 Bitters Stir and strain into a coupe

Happy Birthday Todd!

Happy Birthday Todd!

Really great pictures Jeff and Colin. Looks like a good time for you and the animals.

Holy shit! If that case costs $60 sign me up for a gross.
