Bump one more old thread and you'll be looking for a new place to post.

I'll be arriving then as well but heading into town with my little sister. I'll try to get on site reasonably early Saturday morning and catch up with HD800 fever.

Yes, I have two but want MOAR. Actually, what I want is a good, calibrated tester that can measure mutual transconductance so that Nugget Audio can offer tube matching services to Head-Casers. And if all goes according to plan I'll probably sell one of the 3 to someone here and pass along a good deal. I never should have bought the one this weekend.

I bought and sold a tube tester in less than 24hrs. Now appear to have negotiated the purchase of a completely refurbished/rebuilt tester that I will keep and build a new case for when it arrives. Details once everything is finalized.

Played 18 in the annual UNH Track and Field Alumni Golf Tourney. Considering I haven't swung a club in the better part of a year I played relatively well. Also, sold a bunch of stuff and was thankfully outbid on an Ebay auction I wanted to lose.

Happy Birthday Ari!

I wouldn't be pissed if it ended now from a plot perspective but from a fan perspective I'm 100% with Dusty. It was a hell of an entertaining half-season and I'd really like to see MOAR NAO! Given the dearth of decent shows I'd like to think it will survive but I've been disappointed far too many times.

Al, you're straight crazy. P.s. Pete's unnecessarily complex 300b is still available (or was when I last felt like drooling like my daughter) and would be cheaper than your Raven project.

Happy Birthday !

Dinny, Shoot me a PM with how much you need.

Dude you definitely need a new schtick.

I don't like reviewing anything that I build.

Using a Singlepower amp for one's head-fi debut has to be about the worst idea I've heard in a long time.

I admit, I'm an unabashed Emily fan.

Yeah, that's kind of a big ouch.

It might also be worth asking Justin if he's got a GS-1 or GS-X. I'm just trying to think of other manufacturers that don't already produce their own home sources.

Clearly we've found the problem here.

If I had that kind of gear I would seek to make alliances with those around me, essentially ensuring that the gear was never left completely alone but always had someone near by. Bottom line, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to leave either of those headphone unattended and no amount of suggestions by any of us should sway you.

Yeah, but would he really let someone walk off with them to try on another rig?

Uh, aren't you someone in a position to do something about that?

I would respectfully suggest that when one is trying to entice people into buying a ~$1300 DAC that it would wise to couple it to something other than ~$500 headphone amps. It's going to seem like a mismatch to most folks, even those of us inclined to spend more on our source than amps.

Happy Birthday!

I read a good portion of the Count of Monte Cristo on my iPod Touch via Stanza and it worked great. It has me considering a Kindle if they ever get the book pricing in line.

Absolutely.

My list: Woo stat and balanced amp HR balanced amp Hoping Pete Millett/TTVJ bring something cool Frank's amp, again line permitting It's also my goal this year to drag posty out with us.
