Lots more parts for Nate Jeans Cables.

I was mostly agreeing with you. At some point most of us abandon our pursuit of the ultimate high end in the name of just enjoying the music. But I'd agree with Jack as well, to say that the high end doesn't exist isn't right either.

There's a whole thread about it, that not enough for you?

Doesn't matter a bit to me what your gear is, I can tell you that.

Pending members approved.

Can't jump on it right now (only 2hrs left in that auction) but at prices around that I think I could swallow it and the wife wouldn't kill me.

Oh nos...

Yup, it's my sincere hope to own one someday.

Happy Birthday, John.

It's an interesting concept.

Young, did you rename the beta?

Ever thought about taking your neighbor to small claims court for damage to your property? I'd probably present them with a cleaning bill and if they refused file the court docs.

So let me get this straight, Billy, you're going to hold the proceeds of the raffle and use it for a future meet?

On topic, I wouldn't buy a new production RS-1 after hearing both new and old at the recent NYC meet. Of course given how I feel about my woodied HF-1s I wouldn't bother with any of them.

That's what he gets for acting like a monkey.

I'd wager that your mini3 has as much if not more of both voltage and current capability than the Xin, just so you know.

I find your comments about the output stage of the Reference confusing. Just because a device can make headphones make noise really doesn't mean anything. I dont' think there's a dynamic out there (K1k included) that will shut down an amp. Shoot, my Ipod can make the K340s make sound but that doesn't tell me a thing about the output stage. The reality remains that no portable is going to do much for the K340s especially fed by a low output portable source.

Just to second what Jacob said, I'd go Neutrik or Canare for 1/4" plugs. I have had good luck with Switchcraft's 1/8" plugs though.

I'm not sure there's such a thing as a cheap pair of HP Grados these days.

HP benchtop DMM so I can properly match my dual monos amps.

Happy Birthday, have fun at the meet.

It wreaks of knowingly accepting stolen goods to me. Or, as JB said, knockoffs not worth the $39.99.

Based on my limited understanding of it it's all the same nut to crack. The NAS was just a large storage device setup with a RAID array to self protect itself. The device controlling the RAID array and therefore what data was stored where since multiple drives were used to ghost a single large volume (or something like that) went tits up. When it did it probably lost the allocation table or the address configuration or something along those lines. So all the data is probably sitting there and just fine but has no way of reconnecting itself. The fact that the first recovery process didn't work is a pretty bad omen in my book.
