Me = fail, forgot to set up a season's pass for it. Thankfully it's available through the usual avenues so I can watch it tonight. I had to settle for watching last year's season finale.

But imagine the fans it would need.

I'm just waiting to find out that in addition to bailing out mortgage companies that I get to bailout some dumbass who decided that what he needed was 5 flat panel TV's even though he couldn't afford groceries.

Can't say that I disagree with you there but it's swung badly in both directions with both the consumer and lender ignoring everything.

I can't help but think that there's still (at least) one big shoe to drop in all of this, Credit Card debt. Depending on what data you believe the average American household carries somewhere between $8,000 - $10,000 in revolving debt. My wife and I have always made it a priority to carry $0 revolving debt. We don't put anything on a credit card we can't pay for immediately. I get the distinct impression that we are in a very small minority. And once again a fair portion of the blame lies with what is essentially predatory lending practices. I carry only two credit cards (Discover and Visa) and between the two of them I probably have ~$50,000 in "credit". That seems outrageous to me. My wife and I both make a decent living and probably fall just a bit above the middle of the middle class but it's absolutely inconceivable that we could afford that kind of debt. Granted, there has to be some level of personal responsibility that kicks in and keeps you from being an idiot but giving someone that much rope doesn't sit well with me. Ugh, I hate thinking about this shit.

I believe that Ken was contacted because the post he was reporting had already been reported multiple times. I've never been reprimanded for reporting posts and I've probably reported a hundred or more. It's the only way they can keep track of things, there's no way they can read every post.

Did you try reporting any of the posts you think are outside the lines deepak?

FYI - Peter is no longer with us.

Potentially both. Google "audio research pcb" and you'll find plenty of pictures. Their boards certainly don't appear to have any mask on them but the layouts look a lot better than Rudi's stuff. As to the life span question, I don't have enough experience to say whether or not there's an issue there.

I think you need a new custom title jacob. Immensely Negative Admin

That's about what I expected making it all the more strange that he'd be doing this. I have to wonder if he isn't etching the pcbs himself.

That's some pretty strange logic you've got going on there.

How much cheaper are we talking since having that board made with proper mask, screen, etc. couldn't cost $6/bd assuming that Rudi orders like any other man'f and buys 100 or so at a time.

One can only hope that someone who buys this will be kind enough to needle drop it.

I repeat ^.

Did Peter ever answer the question of what other headphones he has experience with?

This is the wrong forum for sandal-fi, you titled it that way and I changed it to -case.

thread title appropriately changed.

I hope it's just a prototype.

Not going to judge the whole season yet but I was pretty disappointed in the start of things. And Hulu has two episodes because the two hour premier was just two, one hour episodes each with their own title.

It'll do that to, along with several other neat features. Now to track down a plain black band for it for when I don't want to stand out. Then it'll be Dusty Chalk approved.

That's the third version of that joke I've seen.

And I bought a new watch.
