I think I'll take Alan Shaw's word over yours with regards to break in.

I like it a lot. Now onto (just for Dusty): Sara Lov - Seasoned Eyes Were Beaming

I never bother trying on the first day, it's almost like ordering a new phone...

Probably because of all of the gnashing of teeth and panicking that happened when people got iPad shipping information that didn't update for days.

Crooked Still - Some Strange Country

John, sorry to hear about your ordering debacle but from everything I've read your case is a common one unfortunately.

88 with 50% humidity right now.

New Crooked Still? Dangit, I completely missed that. Guess I need to make a trip to the store too. Jin, I've been on a wicked Greg Laswell kick lately. You might check him out, I like his new album Take A Bow a lot. It trends towards the melancholy at times but never gets me down.

Heh. The party was great despite weather flown in from South Florida. It was hovering in the upper 80s with high humidity all day but thankfully we had 4, 10x10 tents to provide some shade in the back yard. The cake was a hit too, although the hot weather was not kind to the icing. Peter, those pictures from the hike are outstanding. That's one of the things that I miss about living in Southern NH, there isn't much to hike nearby.

Happy Fathers Day guys.

Yesterday I worked straight through from 7 to 3, ran some errands on the way home and started mowing at 4. Finished mowing at 8, ate a quick dinner, started baking cupcakes and a birthday cake for Lily's party (today). Finished baking and icing the cake and cleaning the kitchen at 12:30. Got up with Lily at 6:30 this morning, woke Mom up at 8 and then started setting up tents and chairs in the back yard. So very, very tired already. I wonder if snorting icing would help?

Happy birthday, David!

Pelican - What We All Come to Need Saw a poster at my local music store today, some how I'd completely missed this.

" In 1999 a heard of fiberglass cows united citizens., visitors, artists, businesses through a unique community based public art event.

The Guess Who

I read their About and FAQ sections, I like these guys a lot. I'd mark them down as the first interesting amp manufacturer that I can think of in a long time.

If you spread the crap out it might not be super crappy.

Apple apologizes for iPhone 4 ordering fiasco - Computerworld AT&T suspends sales to fulfill current orders Reason #438 why Apple should kick AT&T to the curb.

Very limited or flat-out no warranty is usually the reasoning.

^^^ woot! She's all packed up and ready to go!

My opinion, having not heard it but built and listened to several amps like it, is that if you have Senns (300ohm) it'll sound very good. Otherwise its high output impedance (120ohm) could be very hit or miss. Still, I bet it would be a fun cheap build.

International rumors are already flying about the delivery date getting pushed to July 10th.
