I don't think there's much to the '4' other than using that wire and wrapping it with a 10AWG ground wire. You can piece the recipe together from the above quote and this link. VH Audio Flavor 4 Power Cable My 2c would be not to bother since I'm pretty sure that you don't have to provide 9AWG for the hot and nuetral of any component in your house but feel free to give it a shot if you want. My power cable musings peaked at http://www.audiotweaks.com/diy/bobcrump_pc/page01.htm.

Bump, come on you slackers.

I really do admire the way you just don't fuck around.

Answer: my house?

One more thing I haven't seen mentioned from the prebuy camp (and one specifically for Stephen), the email I just got from Apple (which seems oddly timed after the presale already started...) indicated that you can reserve an iPad for pickup at your local Apple store. Might be an interesting option for those who don't have Saturday delivery options but might also mean deal with the possibility of hoards of idiots.

Evidently cheese sticks work too.

I admittedly haven't played with the web interface in a while but my recollection is that it was neither pretty nor very snappy. What I'm talking about is something that would mimic iTunes coverflow and allow the iPad to act much like the SB Touch remote does. I know there are already things that sort of do this, the names escape me now, but again when I tried one the responsiveness left me wanting.

It can remote control another music server but cannot be the server itself, at least as far as I can tell. You'd think that Logitech/Slim would be working on an app like crazy.

I'll be somewhat curious to see how long the April 3rd delivery date holds up. There's a finite supply and no one knows what that number is and you'd figure they'd save some percentage to have at their actual stores on the release date as well.

The new 1.7's are listed as: Sensitivity 86dB/500Hz /2.83v Impedance 4 Ohm

I find it interesting that the website says "Delivers on April 3rd" for the wi-fi models. Does that mean that there going to actually arrive on 4/3? [edit] I guess it must since they say this at the bottom of the page, "If Saturday delivery is not available in your area, iPad will be delivered on April 5."

Looking forward to your impressions guys, I'm still very much in wait and see mode.

Great work as usual Mark, can't wait to see the amp you've got cooked up.

Mikhail taught me that was plenty, was he wrong?

Congrats Naaman, from one new dad to another it's a hell of a fun trip. And I'd pay more attention to stocking the bar than the humi, you'll need the booze to take the edge off.

What Al said, hopefully it's short term.

There are lots of elements of the Ball watches that I like but I'm hard pressed to find any one that I really love outside of the Night Train.

The Torpedo, duh.

You'll do fine here, I'm sure. Welcome.

Happy Birthday!

Ok, I need to resurrect this thread. I've tried several ways to convert the file to DVD and while I've been able to get something playable I'm continuously running into audio sync issues (even though the native file plays just fine and is synced). Is there anyone out there who could have a go at doing this who's more skilled in the ways of video manipulation? I can provide the mkv file on CD (about 1GB so uploading would be problematic for me) and would be eternally grateful.
