luvdunhill Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 You're going to love it. It's a killer amp when used in almost any setting other than running or walking. Some of them are even better at that than others, but Todd/Pete have never figured out why that is. 'Grats. yeah, I'm interested in hearing it compared to the baby Stax. Now I need to just find me a decent source... the portable forum at HF is kinda a scary place for me to visit, I'm probably going to have nightmares tonite...
spritzer Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 sweet. It is an amazing sounding transport there's one cap that is crazy how much difference it makes. I have a feeling that you will be getting a few PM's about this one. It was a complete impulse buy though since I had made a mental note of the model number and then found a bunch of them at a local audio store today. Time to read that massive thread...
Voltron Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 Don't do it. You'll come out much stupider.
Pars Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 I dunno... did you see the stand or base a guy on diyaudio is constructing for his? Might turn out looking like a Rockport Sirius or wtf their turntable was...
luvdunhill Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Nationite S:Flo Touch Screen 8GB gotta try it, why not... it plays FLAC after all..
n_maher Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Nationite S:Flo Touch Screen 8GB Very curious to hear your thoughts, the screen shots look like it runs software very similar to the Touch.
luvdunhill Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Very curious to hear your thoughts, the screen shots look like it runs software very similar to the Touch. check out the video on the product page... yeah, it has the same capacitive touch screen. Anyways, I heard a few portable players over the past week or so and they all really sucked... I didn't think they'd suck as much as they did... I cannot believe people this this is hi-fi. My favorite believe it or not was the Sony players. I'll be in China for a month or so around Christmas, so I'll be able to try some of the new Korean / Chinese players that will coming out over the next month or so. edit: if you'd like to see it, I could always delay your shipment for a week or so and send it along with the Millet for proper cable sizing
n_maher Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 edit: if you'd like to see it, I could always delay your shipment for a week or so and send it along with the Millet for proper cable sizing Nah, that's ok, it just might make a decent xmas present for someone else.
grawk Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 I wanted the new macbook until I realized no firewire.
Voltron Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 I wanted the new macbook until I realized no firewire. The new models all have Firewire 800 ports.
Voltron Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 got it. appleinsider had it listed that way but they got it wrong.
Voltron Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Apogee Duet users are bummed for sure...
Voltron Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 well, it's not like Apple waved a magic wand and made all the existing firewire equipped mac laptops disappear. But grawk wanted the new one and would not be able to use the Duet with it.
n_maher Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Grawk can buy my old Macbook and I'll buy a new one. I'll even give him a good deal, honest.
Voltron Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Reks, you clearly need some thrum in your day.
grawk Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 grawk has a macbook grawk isn't really in the market for a new laptop one day, grawk hopes there's a sub 13" laptop from apple with firewire.
n_maher Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 grawk has a macbook I know, Nate doesn't need a new macbook either since he just bought a firewire based source (no, not a duet).
Voltron Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 one day, grawk hopes there's a sub 13" laptop from apple with firewire. No chance, sorry.
