  1. Plug In Launcher for Android makes things happen when you connect USB or headphones http://j.mp/fH6EM9
  2. Mexican-style, real sugar, bottled merchandise 7x.
  3. Sorry for my beer noobiness, but a case o' fun...
  4. If anyone is interested in the John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble, they're at Stanford for a Sunday matinee. Let me know as I'll be there.
  5. I have a cheese-making class tonight, but just queued up Zoe on MOG (she stays off major labels so not in their library), and above Halou filled up selections instead. First couple songs do sound nice Dusty.
  6. Dusty, is this for video playback/matching or simply more pixels? Or recalling a recent conversion, why think 1080p is a target?
  7. Very much looking forward to your review JP. My quick listen with JH13s showed the 2a3 pretty black.
  8. Airport Express (refurbs $50 on CowBoom today)/AppleTV as mentioned. Some USB DACs using Camera Connection kit (unknown on iPad 2). Also plenty of USB coax/opti adapters (unknown on iPad 2). I've used the Airport Express, U-Control uca202 (toslink) and HA Info USB-coax to connect Parasounds and Lavrys. Also FLAC Player iOS app will let you play those FLACs. We don't know AirPlay quality do we (from iDevices)? Sounds good to me, but not AB tested. Regular AirPlay is bit-perfect.

    The Libyans seem more reliable than long links in Tapatalk (since site upgrade). As there have been a least a few of us that have gotten into trouble complicating rigs when other family members 'just want to play music,' for those with iDevices, the pairing of mobile MOG and an Airport Express is a great easy way add that ease to our systems. I know it's not very audiophile-like, but probably 1/3 of my playback is this way now.

  11. For those who want to connect their other iStuff... "Apple Digital AV adapter, which also supports video output from the original iPad, iPhone 4 and current-generation iPhone 4 (sic), but mirroring will only be on the iPad 2. Video out supports up to 1080p for the iPad 2 and 720p for the original iPad, iPhone 4 and iPod Touch."
  12. Refurbs now down to $349 and up: http://dealmac.com/Refurbished-Apple-iPads-Extra-80-to-120-off-from-349-free-shipping/440629.html
  13. So for those buying, which model? When work gave me a 32GB to test with (not sure for how long), I sold my personal 64GB 3G model a couple months back. Pretty much only used 3G on vacation and with the unlimited plan vanished will probably avoid the extra cost of 3G model. Can't say I ever came close to filling either (and probably even less likely with MOG, Squeezepad, and Netflix streaming - I was slow to adopt all), so may downgrade from 64GB also. Curious if others who've owned before will stay with same model or upgrade/downgrade?
  14. Like the Bionic Woman.

  16. LiveBlog: http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/02/live-from-apples-ipad-2-event/ Wonder if rumored iOS5 showoff and cloud mystery announcement may be the larger news?
  17. Now we know what the HDtracks Makin' History comment was about... http://bit.ly/hLxCXm

  19. Beautiful. Is Electric Cat OS X 10.7?
  20. Apple video in prep for this weeks iPad 2 announcement... .
  21. I've held off posting as I only listened on one rig for a couple hours before my brain, eyes, throat and ears decided to do that whole flu thing, however I'm cautiously optimistic. Will post once everything is working normally again. Will say they look nothing like the previous ones and not exactly like both ears come from the same human head, but... Oh, and if anyone is in a similar bed-ridden situation, the French-German six hour miniseries Carlos is an excellent way to pass the time.
  22. T-Pains JH16.
  23. New 24/192 version of America's Greatest Hits?
