What did I tell you about the lols...

One more lol and you'll get the .

I think the full title ends with "Pays Jude a Visit" but I just love that the way the forums are setup it allows one to use their imagination to complete the sentence.

Speaking of the funny, every time I see this I get a good chuckle...

Note: you bought a $165 Ipod dock. Nuff said.

Yup, between the two of them there's some good laughing there.

Order? Call 555-1212 for more information.

Duet cable V1.0 w/ inputs and outputs.

Oh by all means tell me what you were going to say, I'm a big boy, I can take the criticism. And if there are mods to be done I'm all ears. I've already got a stash of blu-tak lined up and ready for some strategic chassis damping. I looked for a good long time and in the sub $1000 market my choices were severely limited with most options being nothing more than decent CD players. I've got one of those (the Arcam) and will certainly compare the two side by side before deciding if the EAD is the one to keep. At the price I'm paying I could pretty easily get my $$ back plus some on Audiogon.

Gotcha, my mistake. In my research I'm sure I just confused the two. Regardless, I wanted a good front loader transport and options in my price range are few and far between. I don't have two grand to throw at this.

Always bet on black. I was chasing four of them this weekend and this was the only one left to make an offer on unless I wanted a matching DAC to go with it. Nice, I lost track of what day it was. I need to place an order from them tomorrow. It's all one and the same as far as I know.

Now just waiting on a paypal payment request for an Enlightened Audio Design T-1000 transport. Uses the same VRDS transport that TEAC and Wadia do, is still serviceable by the original designers through Noble Electronics and should pair nicely with my gear. Should be getting a hell of a deal on it too, about 33% less than the going Audiogon rate.

You'd think, coming from Canada, that it'd be something messed up like that wouldn't you? But no, it's pretty pedestrian really.

Nope, no Canadian email yet. [me=Vince]grumbles...[/me]

The Hertsens will never be sold. In my end-game rig that's my primary digital front end coupled to my SB3 and the "transport to be named later". I currently have two other digital front ends, one of which I was using as a transport (the Arcam CD73) and the other I was using whenever I felt like it (the Wadia). If the purchase goes through for the new transport and it works well I'll find new homes for both of the other players. I don't trust any company that only has renderings of a product on their website.

We'll see, evidently Canadians don't check their email every 10 minutes like I do.

Trying not to get too excited but it looks like I'm close to closing a deal on a transport that I've been searching for forever. It will mean more changes to the rig but will be one step closer to the overall goal of consolidation.

So you're one of the ~8% of kids, eh?

If that's the mot-stick then yes, you got it. This is the MOT rock .

Read the rules, profit is profit. :motstick:

OMG, MOTMOTMOTMOTMOTMOT.

Just watched Super Bad. I now regret having waited this long to watch it. It was hilarious.

no hour by hour updates = review fail

<----------------

After waiting for 2 weeks for a part to come into stock at Markertek I'd had enough and placed two orders today with separate parts vendors so that I can get busy with a couple long-overdue cable projects and so I can avoid further public ridicule.
