Pretty decent.

I'm on 2007/2008. I also love the different system requirements for the various versions. For 32-bit AutoCAD LT 2010 # 1 GB RAM # 850 MB free disk space for installation For 64-bit AutoCAD LT 2010 # 2 GB RAM # 1 GB free space for installation

Too bad you'll be searching for software to run. I still can't load AutoCAD on my V64 laptop.

Deepak, In "linear tracking" systems (at least as far as I understand them) the stylus and tonearm remain tangential to the record at all times. I think this picture probably says it better than I can.

I also meant to add 'welcome' to that first message.

I'd respectfully suggest that you re-read the welcome PM. While this post is perfectly fine, it's not exactly a great start. We all like Jack and his products around here.

Personally I pride myself on my perfect record of producing imperfections.

I've been watching for this for a while as well and was actually on her site last night looking for the release date and it was less than obvious.

Damn, seems awfully reasonable for anything with XLRs on the back of it. At a minimum it looks the business.

I have not accepted a request to build something for more than 12 months now. I have occasionally found a mutually agreeable circumstance that required me to build something tough. And as you recently discovered I'm not done building stuff for folks I like either. The HD-300 is essentially for me. And I wouldn't think you'd be too upset about stuff I've been building lately.

I freely admit that when it comes to large meets I'm completely comfortable driving to NYC. Local mini-meets FTW.

The problem for me is that they've subsidized the phone cost so much now (8GB 3G is $99, 16GB is $149) that the lower monthly cost break-even point is now pushed into the second year of the contract. And I just wouldn't feel good buying a used 1st Gen phone on Ebay at double the cost of a new one.

Yeah, sorry, the $75 a month phone plan is enough for this casual user (assuming I go ahead with operation "totally piss off the wife"). No need to tag on another $99/yr.

The host city will have to have a large local contingent to pull off a third day (IMO at least). For those of us that do LD travel for these meets it's a constant battle between time off and time at the meet and I for one know that selling my wife on the idea of being gone for 4 to 5 days at a headphone meet is NEVER going to fly unless the meet was in Boston. And FWIW I don't happen to think that Boston could pull it off without a major overhaul of the local community. Shit, we haven't pulled off a local meet in almost two years.

Sympatico Amplifier Those are supposed to be back in stock soon. And I wouldn't go anywhere near tubes if I were you.

About $100 worth of machining for a certain primate's amp project. Soon: about $50 worth of machining and material for a little HD-300 resurrection project.

As a matter of fact I do. I'm stuck using a tape adapter in my car for now. That's not as bad as it sounds since most of what I listen to is audio books which generally sound like 96kbps mp3s anyway.

International shipping seems to have gotten worse lately. :S

Oh snap.

Gotta find a 3G Iphone on the reasonably cheap first. And speaking of cheap, any news on the plan-pricing front? I've heard rumors (some from folks who work closely w/ AT&T) that plan prices might be dropping this summer and I'm hopeful this may come to fruition in an attempt to get as many folks signed up w/ 2yr contracts before Verizon or others get the Iphone.

I've got a long way to go convincing the wife that another $40 a month in cell phone charges is "worthwhile". If I ever get there I'll be selling my 16GB Touch cheaper than cheap.

Deepak, the figure "20hrs" sticks in my head for some reason. Of course it'll largely be dictated on opamp choice and battery capacity. Actually I just looked and Hagerman quotes it at 16hrs.
