Color me highly skeptical of any company that makes claims like... "You'll immediately hear the blacker background, the more-comprehensive detail, and the greater dynamic scope that are normally possible only with much more sophisticated (read: costly) playback equipment." Translation: you'll immediately hear the placebo. And I like their "our size is the only right size" approach too!

Mocha Mudslide Ice Cream - in a cup with a cone. It was just too nice out today during lunch not to walk into downtown, stare at the river for a bit and forget that the world is going to hell in a bucket.

I should be all set really, I think I have a Context Desktop chassis that is definitely large enough. Feel free to shoot me a PM with what you've got though, I might be able to use it for something else.

I got the chassis for my buffalo yesterday, or at least the chassis that I was hoping to use. Turns out I was a little aggressive in thinking just how tight a space I could cram all this into and it's not going to work. But I guess this will allow me to select something larger that might accommodate additional modules and features in the future. If/when I get the Buffalo done I might be willing to send it around to meets like I've done with the Hertsens in the past.

All hail the queen!

Uh, dumbass, we won the world series last year. We haven't been suffering for any length of time.

Gotta love Ray's outrage at design theft.

My guess, they battled injury and an asshole named manram all year and in the end they're spent and their pitching shows it most of all.

Mine was 120/70 when I visited the doc today.

FIFY

cues up laptop burn-in debate

I know, Nate doesn't need a new macbook either since he just bought a firewire based source (no, not a duet).

Grawk can buy my old Macbook and I'll buy a new one. I'll even give him a good deal, honest.

The 2.0 is probably plenty, I'd get as much RAM as you can afford. HD space, eh, what are you going to store on it?

Yeah, no firewire, bummer.

Damn, that's pretty sweet.

Nah, that's ok, it just might make a decent xmas present for someone else.

What makes you say that? Granted, I think his chassis lacks creativity but generally speaking if he offers warranty and other customer support associated with the sale that price is pretty easily justified. I'd stack that amp up against just about anything in the sub $500 bracket and expect it to hold its own. At least from a design perspective I can't fault ALO for seeking out Ti, but he may quickly discover the DIY-ain't-worth-a-damn paradigm.

Very curious to hear your thoughts, the screen shots look like it runs software very similar to the Touch.

I can't wait to see the bent-cap-lead gymnastics.

I'm not really sure how exotic they could have gone with caps given the extreme space constraints of the case.

Thanks Steve. Hopefully with some of the heavy fabrication work done (specifically those 2-1/2" holes) I'll be able to do more at night after Lily and Mom go to bed. Up next is getting the remaining power supply caps mounted (they go under the chassis) and laying out the 9 holes that I have to make for the pcb to mount. Maybe I'll get to throw the power switch on this sucker before Christmas.
