New bedrooom set. Wallet destroyed.

What did you do today?
Deliberate purchasing and immediate resale of items for profit. And that was just a component of NoNoNoNoNoNo's ban.

The Headcase Stax thread
Are you sure that the main volume knob isn't a balance control? I can't find large enough pics to tell but most of the stax amps I've encountered are built that way.

JH Audio stuffs
You have just stumbled upon the reason for the pico slim. And I would not recommend an impedance adapter.

OPPO BDP-83
I'd say he succeeded. No more teasing.

Car suggestions?
Lightly used Toyota Yaris? I don't trust that any US car manufacturer other than Ford will be around more than a decade so whatever they're offering on the G3 as a warranty is a hollow promise to me.

Why not to accept "gifts" when selling items on Paypal.
If you're talking about the one on Stephen's site currently, no, he bought an older one from last year that velogreg sold (IIRC).

Amazing. Same kid had enough scratch to just buy a balanced beta22. Must be nice.

Are you actively campaigning for a ban?

I'm somewhat surprised that there hasn't been any anti-trust rumblings about Ebay requiring Paypal payments. Seems pretty unfair and certainly gives Paypal a clear advantage. Of course they're (I think) owned by the same group now so it's hardly surprising but it has to be nearly impossible for anyone to compete as a result.

Koss fraud. Wow, not good.
I say again, how do you not notice this?

Say goodbye to Stretch's wallet.

I cannot adequately express the disappointment it was to have the Tivo software installed and realize how much it'd be hacked and handcuffed. 4 years removed from my last Tivo and I still miss it and honestly, if Hulu could stream to my PS3 in HD I'd ditch cable altogether.

I have the Comcast/Tivo DVR and it, in a word, sucks. I actually think that the straight Comcast DVR is better and that isn't saying much. It's not even remotely close to an actual Tivo. It's like if you recruited Usain Bolt to run a race for your team but just prior to the start made him eat 50 hot dogs, blindfolded him and tied both his legs together. Sure, he'd still mostly look like the fastest guy in the world but he'd probably not go where you wanted, wouldn't be fast and stands a good chance of puking.

gPhone
(L to R, 3G iPhone, Droid, iPhone in a case) Taken from this article - Droid vs. iPhone Size Comparison ? Jangro.com I'd echo their impression that the angular sides of the droid make it feel even thicker.
-
gPhone
It just felt clunky, overly thick, and I for one don't need the physical keyboard and couldn't help but think that it would have been a better phone without it. The lack of multi-touch also pissed me off considering the Eris has it and is supposedly the "stripped down version".

gPhone
I demo'd one in store last week, I didn't like it. I liked the Eris better. And Stretch, waiting till summer time would be fine. I'm going to try a headset with the iPhone and see if that'll be sufficient for times when the in-car volume leaves me wanting.

Eddie Current Equilibrato
I can't believe that any commercial product would be made with the output floating, that's actually pretty scary.

gPhone
I'd like to think they won't have the option to do so. I'm now pretty much in a holding pattern as far as my next phone goes. There's too much on the 2010 horizon between AT&T's Apple contract expiring, the gphone potentially coming to Verizon, rumors of an Iphone refresh, etc. Seems like now is a bad time to buy a phone if you want to be on Verizon's network.
