I've never seen this combo before, but it's a WMA/MP4 'Microsoft version 2' wrapped in a MOV. Could play in QT7. Could not in QTX.

Velvets vinyl deal over at PopMarket. Bought recently. Pretty good.

Happy Birthday JP. We're all Numbs People!

Due to display structure of iOS, if the mini kept the 4:3 ratio it likely was going to be 1024x768 or 2048x1536. Or lets say they pulled off 1536x1152 compromise (and break the pixel doubling history). I could see the displays not ready yet and being available in six months, but if that's not the reason, I think its less likely most other explanations changing so quickly, no? Where Apple pulls the necessary display, graphic processor and battery components together while not increasing weight, size or price or decreasing bat life or those Apple margins (something Google and Amazon aren't worrying about) between now and April. Sure hope to be wrong, but even Apple magic has its limits. Would love Retina on everything and sure we'll get there, but the MBA Retina hopes in the press over the last year haven't been realized either.

Do you think that six month rush was because of what (battery tech, parts availability, desired price or weight, new upgrade cycles, etc?). Knowing the planned pixels required, I wonder if expectations of Retina MBAs and iPad minis may be a bit aggressive.

If it helps Torp, here's a single Z component next to a full rack Parasound transport (wood also by The Master). They're nice little (heavy) things.

Zingers by Dolly Madison? Same here, but guess who owns Dolly Madison?

Could this be heaven?

+1 for Timex Sinclair reference.

Oh damn, that looks great. Love the handle addition. Also good to know about the house sound. Thanks for the update. BTW, how do you like the pre? Also nice having four headphone jacks?

Now a little Dylan and The Band...

Tripling the CEOs pay from $750,000 to $2,550,000, probably didn't help either. http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/11/16/1203151/why-unions-dont-shoulder-the-blame-for-hostesss-downfall/?mobile=wp

Stones | Some Girls: Live in Texas '78 | vinyl Damn, there must be some primal connection between The Stones an even ten month old girls. Esmé's dancing muscles fully engaged.

As long as they don't get in the way of first impressions.

At least the reporter tried.

Of course! ... then again... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ4yvfzBt-c

PopTarts are safe, right?

EDIT: Just got off the phone with Parasound and there's no downsampling to 44.1 and in fact the ""Clock Flawless" system is not part of the Zdac (and has been removed from descriptions/marketing) although Holm was still part of the design. And although the Chord Red CDP comes in a ridiculous case, it's an upsampler I've enjoyed (for the few CDs I've heard with it).

Grahame, I may be misreading (as their site structure is a bit confusing), but isn't the above referenced from the Holm CD player? May make more since to lock to 44.1 there (or resample to 44.1 if not). Not sure if it applies to the Zdac (which then upsamples to 24/422kHz, right?). Or again I'm likely confused.
