I know NewEgg is on a lot of people's shit list but they do have a nice deal on WD 3TB Red HDDs

Now that they can play DSD from connected USB devices my interest in them has peaked again.

Big congrat Bigguy.

Well I'm not sure I even know what neutral is but I can certainly say that on music I know well, I do not notice any huge differences in frequency balance between the airmotivs and the BHSE/007 mkI. Nice quiet background when sitting between 3 - 4 ft from the speakers. Edit: I'm not the person to compare anything o the HD800. Don't like them, especially for the price. If I was buying a Senn headphone, I would buy the 650s. I guess that's why I did.

Yep, I love the AirMotiv 5s. Would be a step up from the Audioengine 5s. Can't comment on the Quads. Edit: I am assuming you are listening in the near field.

Yep. That's where I was a few weeks ago and decided to apply typical HC overkill strategy to the problem. The 413 has a dual-core processor, double the RAM and USB 3.0 ports compared to the 413j. In general for the Synology units the j models differ in having less processing power and poorer external connections.

Hoping for a speedy recovery Larry.

Yay! Congrat Dusty and congrat on finding all the cool stuff.

Well it looks like life is conspiring to keep me from attending any meets this year. My son's traveling soccer team has the IFC Spring Invitational meet on May 4 and 5. Therefore, I will not be able to attend the Canlanta meet. Royally bummed here but hopefully there will be a future payoff when I use my current sacrifice to guilt him into sending some money home from his huge Bundesliga (or Premier League) salary.

WTF! At least 4 in. with more on the way.

Thanks Mike. I will take you up on it if it is the real deal. As Nate said they are back in stock but I am waiting to see if and when people start actually receiving a NAS. By the time it is straightened out they will probably be out of stock.

Couldn't say it much better than that. Happy Birthday Al!

Huffy

Congrats Vicki! I would go lugged myself but that's because I'm a classic.

I am going to start using Crashplan with my Synology NAS because RAID IS NOT A BACKUP. Backblaze is not an option as they do not have a Linux version.

You don't need IR with the Beacon. Phoneblet --BT--> Beacon --IR--> HT Components

Done. Feel free to snicker.

Well shit, I missed out on getting one yesterday. Would have been perfect for backing up the 1512+. If anyone who scored one decides they do not want it I will buy it.

I love Roomie Remote on the iPad. Unfortunately it is IOS only. It is so powerful and flexible I am thinking of buying a few older generation iPod touches to replace every other remote in the house.

I have to strongly disagree with this statement. When Karen and her sister did the Chicago Hell Run, we stayed at the Hilton in Rosemont. It was quite nice and a lot of fun. There was quite an active nightlife at the mb financial park although to be honest much of that revolved around the bars.

Look for hotels in Rosemont. They are significantly cheaper at any quality point compared to downtown hotels. You are right on the blue line so it is a straight shot to downtown Chicago. It is also close to OHare if you are flying in. The hotel for Canjam'10 was in Rosemont. The Fairmont, Wit and Swissotel are all very nice in downtown Chicago but they are not cheap.

No problem. I run the Crank Bros candy on the MTB and my main shoes on that are my Keen Commuter II sandals. Also not too expensive but they run a bit narrow compared to my regular Keen sandals. I like being able to use any shoe with either bike.

I'm using eggbeater pedals and Bontrager Race DLX shoes. Both pretty inexpensive but when I bought the shoes they were the most comfortable I tried on, and by no small margin. BTW, nice bike!

The cost of graphene should be dropping shortly. It has lots of extremely lucrative uses outside of audio.

I think that is the best assessment I have seen of the two phones.
