Just waiting to hear back from my sister...

What time does the meet run for on Saturday? I'm just trying to figure out the transition from my sister's place to the Hilton, she's only a few miles away IIRC so it's just a matter of timing.

Just IVY built in right? I found that choice odd given all of the positive stuff that Russ had been posting about the Counterpoint.

Potentially stupid question: what's the schedule of events for Saturday of CanJam? I looked and I can't find anything easily. My tentative plan, if I find enough change in the sofa, is to fly out Friday and hang around with my little sister and her fiance Friday night. Saturday I'll be at the meet all day/night and then I leave early Sunday morning. Certainly I'd love to stay longer but it's just not possible.

Happy Birthday Mike!

Time to clean up the yard...

For that money I'd prefer the Koss 950s.

Probably because she shoots very little "action"?

You stay focused, you!

Emilie Autumn - Opheliac

Very nice work so far, looks like you have access to a good shop. I'll be looking forward to watching the progress.

Dimmu Borgir - Enthrone Darkness Triumphant

It's expensive? Cheapest option is $40/yr.

I wish there was a little less immediate dismissal until we get some interior shots. Do I think it'll be god's gift to stats, no, but I don't feel comfortable with the proclamations that it's 100% fail either.

Rachael Yamagata - Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart

I love the fact that whatever that is it says RTFM on it.

That's 18ga UPOCC, twisted and covered with NMF. Makes a very nice speaker cable in my book but not exactly small.

Pbase is a couple bucks less, but has a ceiling on uploaded content. I'm actually getting pretty close to the ceiling so they better either raise it soon or I'll probably have to move. *grumble*

I just sense a little extra douchiness and knew there had to be a reason.

You need another vacation Billy?

Ignore DIY, in this price bracket (up to $5k) I wouldn't bother with DIY. The choices for a high quality preamp are numerous, but having heard few I'd recommend having a chat with the likes of tyrion, Voltron, and a whole host of others before assuming that the B52 is the best money can buy. Something like the BAT VK3i springs to mind as costing less and including remote control as an option.

Is that an earnest question? If so, I'll answer it.

Considering the voltages that would be exposed if say the power supply was on and the umbilical only attached to the PS, yes, I'd say it matters. Or if the connector on the back of the ps has male pins and it was on and no cable attached, well, you get the picture. It's not hard to do it the safe way (IMO).

I will be curious to see if he used a male connector on the amp end of the umbilical again...
