Laxx, glad to know your skin growth wasn't anything serious.
Way to go Grawk
I'm getting ready for a 4 day long weekend, full of celebrations and family meets. My wife will be 40 next Monday.
Jacinta - Day Dream
She's a Portuguese jazz singer with a nice voice and good emotional involvement with the tunes, which differentiates her from the Singaporean singer/actress known as Jacintha.
LOL, I've been reading a bit about the iPad, but not every post and news about it. I stopped being interested when it was known that it hadn't USB/Firewire ports.
Hehehe, I wish I could attend. And not for the gear precisely...
How do you connect the Pico DAC/Amp to the iPad? The headphone out has also Toslink digital out? The dock allows it to control USB devices such as a DAC or external drives?
It's incredible, it displays OK here. Anyway, despite the smoothing and all, the graph is impressive. I'm willing to read your impressions, I hope you manage to try them at CJ.
Well, it's not a Pico but a Pico Slim, and I've received it a few minutes ago. Gorgeous damn tiny thing. I'm charging it using an universal USB charger, the included one doesn't fit European AC jacks. Again, it's really small, I may lose it in my pocket
I vote for the Audio Notes. They can sound very good with low power amps and that's a plus in my book. Having the chance to use SET amps is great. You won't be able to do that using the Harbeths. I love the sound of good SET amps, though I haven't tried the Manleys.
It'd be ideal you were able to try both at your place, maybe in your room they don's sound so alike and you like better one over the other.
