My 2

Leeloo kicks you in the nuts for your closed mindedness. Dan, I lust for an Aprilia RS250.

Says the guy with the flashing title!

The GT650 in either standard or S trim is actually a very nice ride.

I've got one that I'm sure we could work a deal on, I haven't used it in years. I think I've even got the original (although somewhat beat up) box when it was sold with the HD580s.

DSP Pro? The Sennheiser unit? Or some other similarly named product.

New bike = bad idea.

I'd like a little bit of extra credit since I created that bunny lolcat just for Mike. It occurred to me after reading his post that he could use a laugh.

NICE!

Hear hear!

Like Dan said, they just don't lock and don't need to. Remember, the XLR connector was invented for the professional audio market where users are concerned about cables getting kicked out during a live performance. With headphones I'd argue it's probably better to remove them.

Thanks Steve, although I hardly think I'm deserving.

The retention clips are wholly unnecessary, and they are upside down on Ray's gear because he uses board mount bits and that's how they fit.

Looking forward to watching this progress, nice work so far.

Haj, I'm sure I've got a pair of cables somewhere you can borrow. What do you need?

Certainly not a catch-all Kevin, but it'd sure be nice to at least have the option if Mikhail once again decides to play loose with shipping deadlines or sends a defective product.

Balanced Stock HD650 Cable. Start saving for a GSX.

Happy Birthday!

The only way I'd pay Mikhail right now is via a CC so you could do a charge back if issues arose.

I am starting to have a greater deal of trouble with the way that he is conducting business. This whole over-upgrading and increasing the price thing is downright ridiculous. As if there isn't enough margin in some of those upgrades anyway.

8' of high capacity base board heat + installation labor for Lily's room which was consistently 3 to 5 degrees cooler than our bedroom where the thermostat is.

I'm hoping Uncle Sam owes me a wad of cash this year with the arrival of Lily and mom being out of work for 3 months to take care of her. The Buffalo is pretty damn nice, But the Hertsens is no slouch so the Buffalo will be sold. I'm just going to give it a case worthy of it's stature before it goes. The Duet, as my homeboy johnny numbers put it, rocks. It's way more source than the soldering rig deserves but too convenient to not stick around for a while. Anyone with a MAC is crazy not to be using one unless they've got north of a grand to throw at their source. Like Dan said, you can buy a mac mini and the duet and be way better off than a lot of DAC's would have you and you get the transport for free.

Got up, cleared the driveway. It was 7 degrees and wind gust were in the 30 to 40mph range. Not fun. Took down the Christmas tree that was fast becoming a fire hazard. Went to Lowes to buy pipe insulation, weather stripping and rope caulk in an effort to seal a few draft windows. Marginal success ratio but it'll have to do until I find 5 grand laying around to replace the windows. Wrapped up the social portion of the day with a quiet dinner and movie with the wife, which means we waited until after Lily went to sleep to eat. Finished the designs for the front and back panels of the Buffalo dac. Good start to '09 so far.

It's still insanely windy here, I'd guess the gusts are ~40mph at a minimum. I'm off to Lowes to get some materials to seal a few leaky windows.
