Coming from you, Young, that's freakin' priceless.

I'd wager that both of those aspects were intentional and not at all accidental.

See around me there isn't much market (out in the woods) so anyone that has one still thinks that it's worth more than it is and wants full value for any games included. One add I looked at today wanted $750 for a PS3 + 8 or 9 games and looked thrashed. I think I'll stick to the waiting game for now.

Hmm, would the wife actually fall for this?

Now if they can just get some lower cost Blu-Ray players in the pipe-line that format might actually survive.

I'm inching closer to ordering one as well.

Dan, that sucks. But odds are that the window replacement is going to chew up more than half your deductible so you might as well file and get some $$ back for the stuff that they stole.

Say wha?

Yeah, and it was A, B, not B, A.

Unless I'm mistaken Voltron has his already so you can count on one being at MOA. Not to mention that tyrion already has his, and so does thrice, etc, etc.

Well clearly you've got some DIY idiots for friends so if help is needed just know it's there.

Frack that sucks Vicki. I'd say send it to Singlepower East but I'm guessing the problem is more than I can handle. I assume that you tried different tubes to eliminate that as the cause. If it's nothing simple like that I'd be all over Mikhail for a replacement, not a repair.

I couldn't find much to say what the individual products did either but based on the list prices the Wadia is cheaper by a large margin.

Rumor has it that Pete has been up to some interesting stuff lately...

Is there anything that says the devices you linked to use the digital out of the ipod or do they merely accept it as an analog input?

Yes, that works too.

If so you'd have a wealth of knowledge and be able to contribute reviews. I vote yes for the new slogan just so Pretty Princess feels better and more comfortable.

Yup, I get that part, I'm just confused about what Mike was trying to convey about the differences between the Duet, Transporter and SB3.

But Mike said that the SB3 does not, so color me confused.

I was mostly fishing to see if he'd ever tried to compare similar discrete vs. opamp implementations, not trying to imply that they can always be made to be equal. Now, hearing that his listening experience is somewhat limited in the scope of comparison (cheap opamps) I have a good frame of reference to qualify his rather strong hatred of opamps. Don't get me wrong, the best equipment that I've heard is a fully discrete design (amb's beta22) but I've also heard opamp based designs that sounded pretty good. I don't think that either of my sources, both of which are chips based, sound particularly awful either or mid-fi. Now that might just be my frame of reference and a measure of my wallet but the blanket dismissal of the opamp doesn't sit well with me.

Something in that description leads me to believe it'd be significantly more $$ to implement that solution.
