True, but this Ph.Dork says T-101 beats T-1000: Known Terminator Combat History (time travel cases only) * T101 versus humans - victory to humans * T101 versus T1 - victory to T101 * T101 versus T1000 - victory to T101 * T101 versus TX - victory to T101 The above analysis assumes a simple mechanical cause and effect with regard to Terminator combat. If one Terminator defeats another, it is assumed to be because of the superiority of the hardware/software combination of the victor. However, an alternate interpretation is possible. In all cases, the humans have won. In the one case where the T101 opposed humans, it lost. In cases where it has sided with humans against other Terminators, it has won. It was the machines that first tried to change the future, because they had lost the war. It is possible that the T101 is superior to other Terminators only when it sides with humans. Because the machines oppose the true destiny that will inevitably prevail. Document version 1.0 2003 July 14. Copyright © 2003 Yuen Kit Mun. All Rights Reserved.

That's stupid. Good Arnold T-101 beat the T-1000. Duh.

So it can fly up into space and kill the evil-doers!

We don't really care if you see it, but it makes us feel warm and fuzzy posting anyway. It looks like you had a killer time, but it's too bad you were out of town because I was in Three Forks and Bozeman last week. Had some good times with Todd and loved the state, but missed the Godfather and Mecca of headphonedom. Next time.

Mac Users: How do you do your music?
Voltron replied to postjack's topic in GoRedwings19's Computer Help Hotline
Yeah, I thought all the 22 year old japanese american females ripped their tunes into their souped up modded Mac monsters?! Not you, though? -
I definitely think that my balanced brown leather pair are the best sounding RS1s -- to my ears -- that I have heard. JP#s (their former owner) and foo_me and others apparently compared the brown leather to his black no-serial-no. pair and felt the same way. I did pay him a lot for them, iirc.

hehe, nate kicked mike in the nuts

I know my governor can kick the shit out of your panty-waist head of state.

DipshitAsshatClan- I wonder if the fucktard mod named Mike happens to be a member here? I have seen several of your silly-ass posts on HF and your obviously prohibited For Sale postings for the shit you build, and I wouldn't blame the mods for stomping your ass all over the place. Take a fucking hike.

I don't know or care what Kevin says about the expensive RSA phono stage but I own one and think it really very good and extremely flexible.

Electrocompaniet ECD-1 v. Northstar M192 (both unmodded)
Voltron replied to spektrograf's topic in Home Source Components
Hey Harris, welcome to Head-Case! Sorry for the lack of response to your PM after the meet in San Mateo, but it was good to see you again. Have you ping'ed Bruce (utep10) about the ECD-1? He has had one for a long time and can tell you some of what you need to know. Also, tkam is selling his Northstar M192 mk2 for $1300 which is a good deal. You may have seen/heard that already but it is an option. Good luck! EDIT: Nate beat me to it. DEW EET X2! -
Please help me think through my desktop system.
Voltron replied to Hopstretch's topic in Headphone Amplification
Go ahead and blame me for having the most awesomest desktop setup of any lawyer in America, I can take it. That is some sweet office tunage there, my friend. Enjoy it. -
Between you and Boomana, that pretty much summarizes the gist of fashion trends in my teens, but some really big names have been left off. Angel Flights were THE disco pants in my hood. I wasn't a disco dude, but had to wear them at a restaurant where I was a busboy. What about Dittos jeans for girls? I still have a pink pair burned into my brain that were worn by a girl at a school trip to an amusement park. BTW, Vicki, the panther trumpet shirt stays firmly on the geek side and does not make the flip.

Yeah, their jewel boxes are nice, but I like the cardboard better. Smaller, thinner and LP'er.

I should buy that dammit. I just received this MoFi title from Acoustic Sounds, in their new mini-LP style packaging:

I can't decide which order say it in! Happy Tyll Birthday!

Could be cool or could be shite, hard to say. The idea is a good one for sure.

What he ^^^ said! Happy birthday, if a little late. Cheers!

Man, East Coast Counsel's NDAs must be better than I thought because this is one dry impressions thread! Where is the drama? Where is Stevieo behaving badly? Where is all the beer/whisky/controlled substances? Looks like you actually had meet at the meet. Oh well, I hope it was fun. I also hope Guzzi got linked back up with Vicki because just as I was entering Glacier National Park with my family and a French foursome following along, Ken called me for Vicki's cell phone number. Life in the communications age...

You cannot "connect" the Harbeths to your DAC because they are passive speakers which require an amplifier. The ADM9 is supposed to be a very good active speaker, which means they are self-powered and have amplifiers built into the speaker cabinets. Seems like you need active speakers and if you are willing to spend the amount needed for the ADM9s then that seems like a good option--the reviews have been good but I have never heard them. You could also try to audition other good quality active/powered monitors that you can access in your area. You can check out active speakers by Quad, Dynaudio, Genelec, Blue Sky, NHT, and others. Not sure if you can find the ADM9s still, but the ADM9.1 also have a built-in DAC that you do not need since you have the Prima on the way. I assume the ADM9 is cheaper now than the 9.1

I don't know why that thing was so huge, but it is gone now. Not worth it anyway.

x2 :palm: @shinichi: Other than mentioning the fact that when I was a kid many years ago we hosted a japanese exchange student by your name, I was posting because I am curious like others above what your actual choice is between. Option A: Full Audiophile Desktop with HeadRoom Amps and Harbeth speakers for $5,860.80 vs. Option B: digital out from a computer and direct into the AVI ADM9.1 for about $2,200? It might help to answer your question. Without knowing exactly what you are thinking about, I can say that Tyll Hertsens of HeadRoom has stated that they tested out various high-end active monitors and found them inferior to passive monitors and their class-D amplifiers. Take that for what it is worth, but my more anecdotal experience would be the same and I dearly loved the HeadRoom setup with the Harbeths when I heard it in Florida at CanJam. Factoring in that the ADM9.1s are doing the digital to analog conversion in my assumed Option B and that is another reason why I think you could do better. On the other hand, Hi-Fi Choice and the article by Mario Greppi (whoever he is) suggest that the ADM9.1s are excellent and even better when doing D-to-A for themselves.
