  1. Wow, congrats all. Really this is the thread made me sad I missed CanJam. Brave people and a truly supportive community. Now I'm wondering where everyone fits on the Kinsey Scale? Can we add that field to our profiles? Mr. 2

  3. Or use one of the streaming apps that background run (via Mobile Safari) like Wunder Radio.
  4. These Sam Mendes ads are touching. Strange 50% of the world is in bed though. Viddler.com - iPhone 4 FaceTime promo - Uploaded by engadget
  5. I'm pretty sure they're only locking the iPhone iAd to iPhones.
  6. Already have a couple iPads. Just trying to save the $30 if necessary. Thanks though. Will activate today and give a month a try. Also: Visual tour: iPad rivals invade Computex
  7. Anyone compare the Atomic v. A-1 Perfect browsers and can recommend?
  8. From the specs the NuForce would be restricted to 16 bit, right?
  9. Thanks, but did click the link. Thats why I was asking if its coax S/PDIF or TOSLINK S/PDIF? Does TOSLINK top off before 192?

    Congrats!
  11. So for those at CJ who have tried (or already bought after a single tune ), coax or toslink? AC only or bat? If not ready for impressions, any technical info you want to toss out? Pretty please?

  13. Could be. Was that another?
  14. Their chat just came back online. Midnight the 6th. No WWDC before decision. That can't be a coincidence, right?

    Where are the fire photos?
  16. So anyone figure out if the cut-off date is midnight the 6th or sometime during the 7th? Would love to know what's going to be announced at WWDC that morning. Support is currently 'undergoing maintenance.'
  17. ...and with Froyos free tethering near widespread release. AT&T just may make me sacrifice the iPhone to better use the iPad.
  18. What are your sneaky plans for taxes and death?

  21. Anyone have any extra camera kits? iPad Camera Connection Kit a commodity item, now fetches $187 on eBay
  22. For those who want a portable keyboard for your ipad (assuming it will work with camera kit): Matias Folding Keyboard $30 - dealmac.com I had one previously. Just be aware it doesn't lock in the flat position. Needs to rest on a flat surface.
  23. Good luck and yes, please let me know. Right, but are you using that for everyday volume control? With the 1600 output I can barely turn the knob before the loudness is overpowering - thus the need for a variable source or pre adjustments, in at least my case. Was really hoping the levels would have been enough.

    12Ls v. A5s

    I know this has been asked a few times, though search came up empty. With a move recently thought I run a quick test to see if I could replace the Quad 12L actives with the more simple to use Audioengine A5s. Was kinda disappointed when the 12Ls arrived that they required a pre or variable output. Was hoping the level switches would be good enough. And since I installed, the girlfriend has shown little interest hunting down even more switches behind boxes to activate. Anyway, placed the A5s on top of the 12Ls which are on speaker stands about 5 feet apart. Sat nearly the same back. Threw on Bill Frisell's Blues Dream on the DVD-2900 plugged into the Parasound 1600 and then the GS-1 (A5 loop/12L pre) and alternated. As it was a personal test about replacement, that was answered quickly after a single CD (and thus maybe not much use to others), I won't be going into lots of details, but I'll be sticking with the 12Ls for primary use for now. The A5s will return to the bedroom, but if the above real practical considerations (toss size and ipod/airport connections in there also) increase, who knows? Both sounded damn good for their likely uses, and with their prices so different are arguably not in the same class, but I've got both here and can say the 12Ls beat the A5s in every basic sonic test - subtlety in quiet passages, staging, separation, detail, clarity, bottom slam, balance, decay, etc. A5s most obviously sounded a bit congested and Grado-like forced in comparison. Others have said the A5s may be held back by their amp, which while I never felt before, is a possibility. Most of this was apparent by the first tune, but again this is only in comparison. I could easily live with either set and I think the A5s are killer at their price (especially with web coupons floating around). Hard to comment on bang-for-buck or upgrade-worth as these are near-field monitors and setups using them tend to be compromised in one way or another. If three feet apart on a desk and two feet from your head their differences would likely lessen. I know a few other members have/had both sets and can perhaps chime in also.
