Apple TV for $80 for the next half an hour. http://dealmac.com/iphone/deals/446110.html

Recently changed over my rig a little (including moving to a 16-bit DAC and thus back to an Airport Express) and when listening to several quietish opera tracks over the weekend I noticed many pops not there before. Originally thought something may have happened to the file, but narrowed it down to the APX. Have play files through Squeezebox Touch (fine), two Airport Expresses (not fine), on multiple outlets (not fine), under various power conditioning (not fine), with two DACs (not fine), wireless or wired (not fine), AirPlay from main computer or iPad (not fine) and a ton of tracks since (not fine). Firmware on both shows 7.5.2, which is current. Anyone else have problems lately? It's most noticeable on quiet passages, but clearly so then. Pretty irritating. Also I thought the APX topped out at 16/48, but it appears 16/44.1 now (at least through iTunes - haven't tested elsewhere).

Congrats Shelly. What are you feeding it with? Still debating on purchase myself.

Have a blast today gents.

Stax said bye when Audez'e came by. Finches

Two UPA-1s and a XDA-1 might make a nice little $900 mono-block system, no? Really loved the RPA-2 when I had it. Edit: For those ordering the DAC I wonder if we can pick either volume setting (depending if you want a linear increase)? Edit edit: The few UPA-1 non-Emotiva board reviews I've found haven't been the most positive.

Emotiva sale. UPA-1: Sale price: $299 (Normally $349) UPA-2: Sale price: $349 (Normally $389) USP-1: Sale price: $399 ( Normally $449) XDA-1: $299 (Normally $349)

Depends on issue and last email exchange. Usually B/J. Asked about list today and heard back that they had misspelled my email.

Great iPad 2 deals on eBay.

Just out of curiosity, John and Vicki are you on the email update list that at least a few on HF are? I'm not, and haven't received a response to last couple emails (the new impressions and JH16s). Not sure how much to make of the silence.

I better check the bottom.

Giving it a shot on Mog.

Flyers for this all around my neighborhood the last month. Wonder the story.

Bought last week, but Parasound D/AC 2000 Ultra arrived today. Debated how I was going to react to what I knew was a faceplate in poor cosmetic condition. Although a few chips on the edge, strange that the most severe were not chips, seemingly smashed candies of some sort on the surface (goes with the rollerblade box I guess). Swipe of fingernail removed them. Feel even better about the deal.

Ferris as indie...

Star Wars Remake

I would recommend (as starting points):

One or two of the announcement articles said it was from the SACDs.

Vinyl eye candy...

Yeah, a definitive "bands-view" heroin-edition simulated surround box-set would be mind blowing.
