What did you do today?
We're watching a little Curious George right now and she doesn't seem any worse for the wear so I'm pretty sure that I'm more traumatized than she is. She's keeps saying, "Lily fall, booboo" and pointing to her chin but otherwise is her regular self doesn't seem to be in much pain.

What did you do today?
Had a pretty great day with Lily until 6:10pm when she took a header in the office and cut her chin on the desk chair. 4hrs and 5 stitches later I figure I'll only have nightmares about this for a few months. She's fine and was her normal self while we were there until the actual stitches, that was about as awful an experience as I want to remember. F me, I need a drink.

Dinny, If your wife is a Goose fan you should have her try I think it was Reks a couple years ago that got me to try it, there's no going back and thankfully they are priced similarly.

What are you listening to Part Two
Hooverphonic - The President of the LSD Golf Club I'm a pretty big Hoover fan and had never heard of this, their last studio album before Geike Arnaert left the band in '08. It's interesting and seems like quite the departure from their normal style, but so far in a good way. Pity this was never released in the US, I'm simply not shelling out $60-$100 for it.
- Happy birthday, Purk!!!

I'll rummage through the bin this weekend and see what I've got, I think I might have a little something.

Eff all of you. I had a filling done during lunch so I haven't eaten since breakfast and this thread is killing me.

What do you figure is the max reasonable diameter for the knob?

We might have to do something about that knob though, I've got a few bits "laying around" that might be suitable.

Has the DAC landscape gotten convoluted lately?
I used to be a song listener but I've become more and more of an album listener. Even when listening to exclusively PC based audio I still cue up a whole album and sometimes even an entire artist's library. As far as DAC's go (and other equipment for that matter) I seem to be trending vintage rather than bleeding edge. My soldering rig now contains nothing built within the last decade.

sick of head-fi
My link was to the forums/index.php? page, but the root .org address does indeed show a HD800 for me. My guess is that Senn is one of the early adopters/sponsors so they get top billing. Too bad Justin couldn't get the Meier Audio Gilmore Lite picture there.

Resistance of the individual channels is hardly a good measure of matching since that resistance is simply used as a voltage divider so the two wipers could be wildly different and still well matched. A better way to check and see if it's in the pot is to feed the amp a 1kHz wave and measure v-in and v-out at the pot. You can use your laptop as a signal generator for this purpose and get much better and easily interpreted results. And lest anyone think I was smart enough to come up with this on my own, Justin is the one who suggested it to me when I was fighting a similar problem on a different amp.
