Hmmm the walk to Costco was a little further than I thought Now relaxing to some smooth jazz on my small vinyl rig. George Benson and Earl Klugh

Yesterday's hip tunes are today's dentist office/elevator music. It sucks to get old. Not that I am saying you are old or anything, but I feel your pain.

Definitely don't tell SO. He will buy them within days.

i went to the dark side and ordered a Galaxy Note 4 on the 1-year upgrade path. I have a Note 2 that has been in a box for the past 2 years which i used for testing Pico DAC compatibility. At the time, none of the games i was playing (like Simpsons: Tapped Out) were even available on Android. Now I have trouble finding an app that isn't on both. The big screen is nice, I like the pen and being able to create files and do what I want with them. the downside is I'll have to stop using iMessage on the phone, which probably means trying to use it on the Mac and iPad will do more harm than good. and no iCloud apps either, though they generally kind of suck and are limiting. I may just keep an old iPod Touch in my car to use Find my Friends app, with a wifi connection from the Note 4.

The BCL is unusual because the output buffer is NOT nested in the global feedback loop. After that, it is closer to a PPA buffer than an M3. http://cdn.head-fi.org/8/87/87579c0c_lovelycubecircuit01.jpg PPA buffer is nicer, and if one were so motivated they *could* convert the PPA pretty easily. Leave out R4, jumper R3, and set gain with R5&R6. The O2 is just off-the-shelf op amps. Not really much for the designer to worry about with class AB. The JRC4556 is actually pretty nice (as far as op amps goes) for driving headphones directly. Its not the amp that people dont like, its that his fanboys came around and said "this is right, and things that dont even begin to operate under the same principles are wrong." There is certainly a place for the O2, but there needs to be a fight so that people can still design things and learn for themselves.

You've been warned...

My cousin has been re-added to the Oriole's roster. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/blog/bal-orioles-add-lefthander-brian-matusz-to-alcs-roster-replacing-righthander-ubaldo-jimenez-20141010,0,2529743.story

Thank you for the kind words.

Thanks all....the odd/interesting part is that he wasn't conversational at all in Hebrew..... I also remember a bunch of years back, Howard Stern had these two guys on who claimed they had a bit of JFK's flesh (from his assassination day) preserved in a bottle. I remember thinking that one sounded like my uncle, and sure enough it was him; they had pranked Stern.... EDIT: found the video clip for anyone that cares to watch all or part of it, and also found out as a result that Howard Stern WAS in on it from the beginning......I had actually never heard the whole story; knew it was a prank obviously, but never knew it was arranged with Stern ahead of time.

Crikey ... I go away for a while and all kinds of shit breaks loose. Big and too big iPhones - even too big for Mikey's ass and Shelly's hands. What the actual fuck is this world coming to? Nice to be back, people. I need me some 1st world problems right about now. Love and missed you all. Happy to be back in the HC.
