Don't worry about our salted one, he'll have an amp to use with his K1ks in short order, even if Mikhail decides to take his sweet time.

How's the new gig, Ethan?

I guess you wont know till you try them, eh?

Don't start with me MOTjack.

Nice, man, I'm sure it'll do the job admirably. Make an okay headphone amp too, you never know.

Yes, that sounds very cool and if I was a mass transit commuter I might think about it. But the problem as I see it is if you're using it to browse the web (many more page refreshes) the battery life is going to come way down, right? And if you're using it to browse the web the B&Wness of it is going to get really old, really fast. Look at the simulated picture of the NY times on the screen, that's pretty limited gray tones in my book. And it's probably not going to play nice with dynamic content like flash, YouTube, ect., right? So even if it has free unlimited web access I don't see them being able to use that as a big selling point or to justify the price. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think Ed's original comment, that $400 is too much, is right on the mark.

If the sell 0 of them because it looks like it's from the 80s then what does price matter? You mean I can browse the web on a screen that looks like my apple 2e, no thanks. I don't care if it's crystal clear, my cell phone screen can have color so why can't this? They can make a laptop that costs $500 have a color screen, why can't this? I'm sorry, it just seems like a pretty pointless product to me give a seriously limited feature set. It's only advantages over a small laptop are longer battery life.

The black and white only is a pretty big downer.

cue Rek's rage...

Looks like jude just posted another video update - I can't watch it at work so someone else tell me what it says...

They made one version 9+ minutes long? Holy shit, I think I'd rather be water-boarded.

F'ing sweet dude.

I did not see the +/- boxes at the top of the page, only the individuals. After hydro's post all is well. Thanks, carry on.

Todd, yes, you can collapse the columns but it doesn't make the message pane any bigger. At least not in Firefox it doesn't. I have to side scroll most threads with pictures now so I know what Ian is going through.

A similar amp, maybe, but the trafos that John's amp used are out of production so there isn't likely to be another one exactly like it any time soon.

I usually stumble across mine in my wallet from time to time, try there.

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.
