Here's to hoping it isn't the ACL, I've gone through that (although 15 years ago) and it was less than fun. Good news is that from the sounds of things none of what they are seeing would be life altering for you, i.e. a full recovery would be expected even if surgery was required. And Al I'd have to put you on retainer in order to talk about the replacement.

I shipped out The Menace, thereby letting the insanity begin.

x2 what the others have said, here's to hoping that all that happened was a strain/sprain of some kind, Al. As the owner of two rebuilt joints (knee, ankle) I can safely say you want no part of that.

I swung by the Apple store only to be told that it would be 3hrs before a Genius could talk to me about replacing the top case on my macbook. Thankfully I posses an ounce of tact and managed to convince them to do it based on the keys that were falling off the keyboard and that it didn't take a Genius to diagnose that. New keyboard is a little weird but it's nice that it stays together.

I guess that means you don't want to borrow the Thorens?

Yesterday we took Lily to the Seacoast Children's Museum for the first time. It was pretty funny to watch the other kids her age sit semi-passively and play with one thing while she roared about the place running from room to room. Today we're off to the beach for some sun, sand and very little relaxation.

Sweet Al, just in time for the meet!

You do realize the kit that is being offered there is only a "detail" kit and does not include the original F40 car kit that is required. Holy hell I can't imagine the amount of time it would take to do that.

Happy Birthday!

Shelly, Your assumption is correct, the BUDA shares a common power supply between the two channels. My understanding of the GS-X is the same as yours, that it is a true "dual mono" design and uses a separate power supply for each channel. Now if you want to talk advantages I'm not sure that I would say that the "dual mono" approach is going to yield as much as some other differences. I don't think there's a bad choice to be made here, each offering some advantages over the other. The GS-X is probably the more brutally pure design, the BUDA offering crossfeed, both offering switchable gain.

Shelly, the old 10% Head-Fi discount is long gone as far as I know.

Happy birthday Indra!

Happy Birthday, Todd!

Reports that Coca-Cola are developing a

Yeah, I think the correct translation of Todd's comment is: Finding an iso that will work with your key is a crapshoot and will depend on a multitude of factors, i.e. don't hold your breath.

The Iphone will get kicked to the curb if they do.

Two rather large, expensive pieces of iron from Ipswich, UK.

Dude, you really are livin' the dream.

This discussion sucks.

They have pretty gappy coverage in NH, more so than any of the other carriers (Sprint, Verizon). For now it's not a big issue for me, but it is annoying.

That would seem to be a pretty big f'ing problem, wouldn't it?

OOB Out Of Budget

Anyone care to recommend a good, inexpensive car charger?

Thanks Dan, I almost have to go refurb in order to get something with dedicated video RAM. I don't like shared, non-discrete video memory.
