tyrion Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Congrats on the speakers but until we see pics it didn't happen.
blessingx Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) $100 of HDTracks for $50. Thanks Ric. Glad someone got in. I think the window was pretty short. Sent back the Emotiva DAC and got a Squeezbox Touch and Squeezepad! Sorry the XDA-1 didn't work out, but the A2s were designed for a Squeezebox combo (then Logitech came in and deal fell through). A5s simply moar better. Edited April 3, 2011 by blessingx
morphsci Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 I actually use the Digital output of the Touch into the XDA. To me the XDA outclasses the DAC in the Touch. At least in a headphone set-up.
Voltron Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Lots of congrats to go around. @Jim & Ric, nice HDT pickups. Note to self: Visit Ric with digital storage. @Colin, nice metal and Belgian collection. @Greg, that cheese will go great with the Russian River sours @Shelly, that is very cool to hear. I still want to use a Touch and need to finally get rid of my old SB3s. @Dan, awesome fixings for a Perfect Manhattan! @JP, nice move up the vintage Alon scale! Rock out with your cross-overs out! \m/ @Nate, best of luck in your night ops.
n_maher Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Al, I'm currently working inside a 70 year old, 100' tall building with limited lighting, I figured a mega-watt flashlight would come in handy. Night ops require infrared or nightvision, not bright lights.
digger945 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 My roommate just got a light very similar to that one, for his rifle. We didn't really expect much, but were both surprised at how bright it was(110 lumens I think) and how well it did on the spot beam. Well worth the ~$25 he paid on Amazon.

It is not that I didn't like the XDA-1, it just made it even more difficult for my husband to watch the tv upstairs. I don't listen to music all that often upstairs (especially in summer) and never do any critical listening (usually I am just working with music in the background) so I thought I might try out the Touch.

Dusty Chalk Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Was it discounted because it was bent?Get out of my mind.
Salt Peanuts Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 ^ Nice. I've been wanting to get one for our kitchen, though I keep missing out when they occasionally go on sale.

guzziguy Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Yeah, it's too bad that the English colonists couldn't think of anything better than reusing old names when founding towns in the new world.
Wmcmanus Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 I'm in NY and went to the B&H Superstore today. Bought a Canon 17mm tilt/shift lens. This one: My link I'm actually having it shipped to Florida along with a battery grip for my 5DMk2 and a couple of other odds and ends. Saved over $200 in sales tax that way, and it's not like I need it right away. Fabulous looking lens in terms of build quality. Should be fun.
swt61 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Yeah, it's too bad that the English colonists couldn't think of anything better than reusing old names when founding towns in the new world. They were English, how much imagination do you give them credit for?
PFKMan23 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Registration fee for a local (Santa Cruz) 10K race... Good lord, I'm scared....
Salt Peanuts Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 ^ I didn't have my glasses on and read that as "(Santa Clause) 10K race."
Dusty Chalk Posted April 4, 2011 Report Posted April 4, 2011 Saw a black leather jacket with black hardware in Marshall's -- was obviously a second (the lining behind the zipper bulged out a little bit, to the point where if it isn't zipped up, it looks wrong), but it was cheap, so I got it.
Augsburger Posted April 4, 2011 Report Posted April 4, 2011 You guys are scaring me with those feet pics makes me wonder what else you are wearing.
