Merida is probably my favorite small city in the world. Uxmal has great ruins (and of course Itza). So many ruins possibilities. This book was helpful: http://www.amazon.com/Archaeological-Guide-Mexicos-Yucatan-Peninsula/dp/0806125853/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1323844162&sr=1-1 Playa is a nice break from Cancun area. Stay away from ultra-touristy Cozumel. The upper-mid Yucatan outside Cancun is nothing like TJ. Safer than most of US in my book. Cancun is a resort area and like all resort areas open to theft. Comparatively safe though. Old photos: https://picasaweb.google.com/105779469515584875752/MeridaPlayaDelCarmen?authuser=0&feat=directlink

Man, sorry to hear Dan. You'd think bubbles and Air would work better together.

Guttenberg has a lot of interesting info, but my issue with him is he's a click whore. He'll publish opposing proposals (sometimes the same week, usually in different media) to, I'm guessing, stir controversy. He'll post for example "Why are their no audiophiles under 40?" while he's also elsewhere reviewing a headphone meet and how great it is to see so many young people interested in audio. He does this all the time. And lately his tweets have entertainingly gotten more angry... AudiophiliacMan Steve Guttenberg I literally get off my ass to go out and buy and play my #music collection. I guess that's too labor intensive for some of us. https://twitter.com/...791753269059584

Everything goes!

Yep, same as 5. Also looks like they're aiming for an eventual Airplay model. When will you have products that include Apple's Airplay? We're working on integrated Airplay solutions but these take time. Meanwhile, consider a great alternative, which is an Airport Express and your iPhone with A5+ or A2 powered speakers.

A few simple impressions after a couple hours with the LCD3 with a variety of gear a week ago (thanks Purrin and Cee Tee). Better balanced across spectrum than LCD2 (also on hand). Quickly noticeable and nice upgrade. Reverb not heard (though took forever to hear on LCD2, thus not definitive). Overall very nice and a great all-arounder (easy to see why it's manys favorite can), but if you felt the LCD2 presentation was a bit tunnel-like/underwater-y (I did) you'd likely feel the same about the LCD3 (associated gear swap unlikely to change). Heard no mods or with nuclear power plants. .

Nice piece. Where do we get a high resolution-wallpaper sized copy of that opening shot?

Messaged him a bit ago. Then again maybe the sale will be every week now.

True Value

Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.

This doesn't have anything to do with Sujata "Sue" Sachdeva again does it?

From SlickDeals link looks like it stopped working yesterday afternoon (not sure forums timing, IP or default - seems to be 6pm whatever). They've had at least two other short sales in the last year. Can't quite figure out their timing. May be stock determined. On bright side if third (and likely more) in last year may be another soon.

Thanks much Grahame. $195 bedroom source coming my way.

Think ring transducers.

Congrats Shelly (and your brothers family)!

There's always one of Americas last free-form stations, WFMU, that's available in free podcasts/streaming (and going back over ten years). iPhone app too. From the Antique Phonograph Music Program to Sinner's Crossroads to Downtown Soulville with Mr. Fine Wine to Shut Up, Weirdo... http://wfmu.org/schedule Also on Squeezebox.

Spotify - to get on iPhone it's $10 a month. Rdio - to get on iPhone it's $10 a month. ... Carl, should have mention MOG setup on Squeezebox went fine, but I'm pretty sure I upgraded first (confirming your theory). MOG-Squeezebox integration is a bunch better than Spotify (at least during their first few days - gave up after that due to artists listed thought majority not available).
