I don't quite know how to take the life-time warranty. Allow me to put on my cynical asshole hat for a moment... A. In the auto industry this is one of those things that you see as the last refuge of the damned. Honda has a 3yr warranty on all their cars (last time I bought one anyway) and they've never advertised using their warranty as a marketing ploy. Why? Cause everyone knows the f'ing thing is going to run forever. B. Is there so much profit built into the product that it just doesn't matter how many he has to fix? From what I've seen this is a Bithead with a better battery, sexier case (presumably) and that's about it. Seems plausible. C. Is it just that dead-nuts simple a device that nothing can or will go wrong? Hard telling but given the lipo battery (which I believe that he's already excluded from the warranty) I would think there was enough potential for failure that some rate of failure is expected.

Clearly a poor attempt a humor on my part.

In my opinion yes.

I'm sure that the pun was fully intended, right?

Standard or automatic transmission?

I think the whole concept is that the only way to get the info these days is to call. He hardly has anything anymore that qualifies as a standard amp with the exception of the Extreme. Or at least that's the way it seems to me.

www.moon-audio.com I think that's as complete as it gets these days...

You're a mod, shit can it.

Took around an hour and forty five minutes to clear the driveway this morning. Nothing like 10" of snow topped with a 1/2" thick ice crust. It wasn't quite thick enough to walk on but made life hell for the snow blower.

Not OCD, just lazy. For someone like me with a relatively small collection (30 or 40 LPs) it's pretty doable, for someone with a large collection that's a pretty large time investment.

I don't there's such a thing as simple when it comes to digitizing vinyl. As mentioned previously the gear is less than half the battle (yo joe!), the time suck is going to be playing each record, converting the file to lossless (assuming it rips as a wav) and assuming that everything goes well on the first pass. I mean seriously, you're talking about 1x conversion rates and then having to post process from there. Ugh, I hate ripping CD's and that's usually done an 8 to 10x...

Care to share your source for that. My memory is that when the HF-1s were introduced this was the rumor but Grado shot it down and said that the HF-1s were in fact not based on the 225 driver.

I'm putting off the pain that will be clearing the driveway. I think tomorrow morning sounds like a good time to take care of it. Ian, did you at least yell at the asshole?

So are you asking how to configure the beta or what speakers would be appropriate? I'm a little confused based on your first post and the thread title.

My driveway is somewhere in there...

I dunno Haj, sometimes with storms like this I almost think you're better off just waiting. Leave some of the snow to soak up the sleet and freezing rain later so stuff doesn't turn into a skating rink.

Well, it's already coming down here. Guess I won't be going to the office today...

More of Season 1 of Buffy, such a great show.

I take it that you would like to stay away from Ebay?

Just be happy that your wife doesn't work for the prick! If the stereotype holds true the wife is either a sweetheart or a money grubbing gold-digger, which is it?

Come on man, you work in HR you know how this goes... [truth]wrote this before tyrion's reply

Wow, this makes me feel so much better since you called me a douchebag the other day. [me=Vince]runs away crying...[/me] I keed, I keed, sounds like a grade A asshole.

Between it and the Wadia I'm not lacking for good sound, no.

Nah, before I did that I'd just build a custom enclosure for an SB-3 coupled with the Hertsens DAC plus another sigma11 for the SB. Don't think the thought hasn't crossed my mind to build a Transporter killer. For now this stack does just fine.
