All I can say is that this group rocks! I know that the page says that my "goal" was $250 and I wanted to clear that up. When I originally registered I selected the option stating that I would commit to raising at least $250 to cover my entry fee. What I plan to do is to raise as much as possible and still pay the entry fee myself. That way whatever I raise goes directly to NEP and doesn't have to serve to offset the cost of my participation (they provide meals and lodging).

Evidently I have a mean overhand smash with a tennis racket. There was no chance of chasing it out. It was in our upstairs hallway and I was afraid that if Lily or my wife heard much for noise they'd wake up and open their door and make an already bad problem worse. I don't enjoy killing things, this is probably only the second time that I've actively taken something's life, but didn't see that I had much choice. I'm hoping that I found the entry point as well so that I can stop it happening again.

Nope, they finally realized that their App was terrible and that no one was using it.

Just did mortal combat with a bat in our living room...and survived. So now I'm having a drink. Fuck me.

Thanks Shelly! I forgot to link earlier - http://www.head-fi.org/t/622177/diy-charity-cable-sale-misc-cables-rca-xlr-mini-power-etc - I listed a bunch of cables at Head-Fi. If anyone who's already donated is interested feel free to make just about any offer you like.

Thanks for all the support, I truly appreciate it.

Hell yes, thanks Todd!

This. Sorry for your loss.

In a little less than a month I'm going to embark on a unique little cycling adventure. Through the course of 2 days (Sept 8 and 9th) I'll be riding a total of 100 miles through the northern part of NH with a group of truly amazing individuals. I've been working hard in preparation for this and have logged about 1,000 miles in the saddle. All of this is in support of Northeast Passage (www.nepassage.org) - NEP is a non-profit organization which provides athletic opportunities for the disabled, including golf, water skiing, hockey, rugby, etc. So if you're able I'd very much appreciate a little support, no amount is to small. There are multiple ways to make donations but the easiest is by simply following the link below to my page on activegiving and using a credit card. NEP is a registered 501©(3) no-profit and the donation is tax deductible. Skip that next frilly coffee beverage, order one less beer at the bar, whatever it takes to justify it. And know that not only will I appreciate it but that you'll be helping to make a real difference in someone's life. http://www.active.com/donate/threenotchcentury12/nmaher Next week I'll be selling a few minor items here (and at HF) to raise a bit of money as well.

Got mine too,very nice.

Nicely done.

Nice Shely although I hate to think of anything displacing the Electrocompaniet.

Happy Birthday, Tom!

This. Hang in there.

I think he's had a fundamental misunderstanding about cable counts since day 1.

A very happy birthday, Todd!

Won't it be a bitch when this doesn't work with the iPhone 5...

It's unclear to me how you're coming up with 6 pairs of cables. Pair 1 - from source to preamp (balanced or se, it's just one pair) Pair 2 - from preamp to amp (balanced or SE, it should still only take one cable to get to each amp) Pair 3 - speaker cables one cable from each amp to each speaker What am I missing?

I'll offer a somewhat alternate suggestion - there's a few of us around here who have been known to either buy or build more than we need. Odds are good that if you post up what you need (lenghts, styles, etc.) we might be able to offer up some even cheaper solutions. I know I have both balanced and SE cables just sitting around unused... [edit]Hell, I even have speaker cables laying around.
