You are an insult to the name Colin.

I'm back to competitive, but still losing, suck.

Shit Boo, that's just awful. There aren't words for situations like that.

Took the red-eye from LA to Boston and made it home about an hour early. I'm so tired it hurts and work should be entertaining tomorrow but it's good to be home.

In my head there's little risk in replacing a fuse with a lower current rated model, the real question is are the fuses that you're taking out slo or fast blow types. I wouldn't want to replace a fast-blo with a slo-blo and there's no good way to tell what type of fuse it is from looking at the package as far as I can tell. Last question, were the fuses blown? If so, simply replacing them is probably a bad idea.

I don't see a way out of it without either lowering the cooling load (lowering the rail voltage or something like that ) or increasing the cooling capacity with new heatsinks. My vote is for lowering the load, for now, to see if you can get it to the point where it's stable without the use of a fan.

Woke up at 4am (HST local time) to try and get a jump start and readjusting to EST. About to head downstairs for some coffee and breakfast, then finish packing, then get ready for about 15hrs of travel before I get home tomorrow morning hopefully by 9am.

Hau'oli lā hānau, Nums.

Moth Audio si2a3 Technical Specifications That might be a good start, I don't know how similar the "Si" and regular version were though. Also, Craig is usually good about responding to emails so you might just try that avenue.

Agreed, it's nice to see from time to time.

Thanks Haj, at that price I just grabbed one to see how it does in the M17x.

Oh I'm listening, just not with a Mac on the mind. My Alienware has two internal bays, I'm thinking a Momentus would be a great primary drive with a standard HD for large cap storage in the second bay.

No spam involved, just good food.

Jim, as far as I understand it. Although I'm sending something your way anyway.

Had class for a bit over 8hrs, came back to the hotel and sat out on the balcony and did homework for another hour plus. Just grabbed dinner at a local mexican place which was quite good and now I'm pleasantly plump and winding down for the night.

12V, mother frack, good luck using that with any headphone amp. Let us hope that the digital attenuation does not adversely affect things or that there is a setting to bypass whatever provides that much gain on the output side. I mean sweet Jebus, I have issues with 2V single-ended sources, not to mention 6V.

I can't believe that I just witnessed Mike talking someone out of a hardware purchase. That said, the SSD for nums might have other benefits like better battery life but that's hard to say for sure. I know I'd have an awfully hard time justifying dropping a $600 drive in any of my computers. I'm still waiting for prices to come down further.

Don't rule out something stuck to the undercarriage of you car, like fragments of road kill. Otherwise a bad Catalytic Converter can smell an awful lot like rotten eggs or sulfur although it sounds to me like you are describing something else.

Today was the one real day off of the week here so Ian and I (he's on this training trip as well, what a racket) toured most of O'ahu via car and then swung by Ford Island which is where our class is being held. We decided to see if the 'Mo was still open and we got in just in time for a quick half-hour guided tour which was great. I originally wanted to do the Arizona tour as well but they say to budget at least 4hrs for that for both the tour and just waiting to do the tour which isn't an option given the compressed schedule the rest of the week. The drive around the island was definitely a good call, the break on the North Shore today was running 15+ and was incredibly impressive.

Flew, a lot. Currently sitting in a Marriott in Honolulu for a week of classes at Pearl Harbor. So far so good, Teddy's Bigger Burgers is probably a place that Justin would like. Now if I could just get past the idea that my head thinks it's almost 1AM but the clock says 7:45pm...

I benched Tom Brady this week since he was playing the Steelers. He promptly passed for 350, 3TDs and rushed for 4th. My luck continues...

As far as I know there's only one size of foamies in the Ety world. I've always just used the stock black ones. I'll see how the "modified" foamies work and let you know, thanks for the offer either way.

I find triflanges painful when I wear them for a long time. I do have one pair of the smaller blue colored ones that will serve as my backup tips on this trip. I've also always gotten better isolation with the foamies.

I fail at describing this situation without profanity. But I may give it a shot anyway...
