Everyone seems to love Balsamic Vinegar but nobody seems to know anything about it. Where is Jacob when you need him?

Today I decided to buy a slightly better Balsamic Vinegar than my usual: Leonardi "gold seal" It is fantastic. I know this isn't the super great fancy expensive stuff but it is still good. My read into balsamic is that the very expensive stuff is very sweet and only to be used for desserts. This seems to be pretty thick and sweetish with enough bite that it can still be used for salads with good olive oil. What is your favorite balsamic and what you use it for? I am now very curious about buying some "tradizionale" balsamic vinegar but don't know where to start. I guess I should find a place that has tastings.

^Interested in this myself

What program for bootable backups on Mac? Superduper or Carbon Copy Cloner or other? Can you use the same harddrive as the time machine backups (I think you can on superduper)?

Happy Birthday Nate!!!

Shipped the PWD back to PS Audio for repair (luckily it is under warranty and they paid for the shipping!).

Glad you and your home are ok Steve, jeez that it's scary!

Nice looking bike!

What is the difference between the + and non+ version?

I am very curious about the HRT stuff for some reason (Dusty's fault).

Happy to be a bad influence!

Neko DAC is nice too.

^Is the zDAC good enough to show off the BHSE? I thought it was maybe "mid-fi" at best.

Just noticed that Electrocompaniet has a new DAC, the ECD-2. This interests me - I <3 the ECD-1. http://www.electrocompaniet.no/news/item_0033.html (Looks kinda ugly though.)

Like.

That is awesome Vicki!!!

ahappy abirthday Naaman!

I didn't know where to post this but this is a cool map of real time wind in the US. Oklahoma doesn't look like such a good place to be. http://hint.fm/wind/

I went to Apple today for hubby's nano that stopped working. The just gave me a new one. Gotta love that.

Ugh, Changing the firmware on the PS Audio PWD hasn't solved my problem. In fact, I could never get 2.0.2 to be recognized by the dac. Some people on the forum thought that maybe there was something loose or the LCD was jammed up against something. So I went back in the dac, loosed and tightened the screws of the LCD board, and tried wiggling things around and make sure connections were good. I plugged it back in and had the same problem. I restarted it a few times with an SD card to see if it would recognize the 2.0.2 firmware. It didn't at first so I restarted it a few times. Now when I start it up there is absolutely nothing on the screen. I think it is time to send it back into PS Audio, sigh. Maybe it is time to get a M51 instead. I know it sells for $2000 but I feel like others have gotten one cheaper than this. What kind of price did others get there's for and how to I go about doing this?

Jealous but no pics?

Hubby and I (hopefully) fixed a leak that we had under the sink. The job isn't perfect but hopefully it is good enough (fingers crossed). Mathematicians were not meant for this stuff.

Sorry about Heidi.
