Must party. Speaking of... must pace the alcohol consumption. CJ hasn't even officially started and I already have a next day headache.

I've never heard it either, but at least 12,100 have 12,100 have. Pretty small number.

JP, I had to take mine in because of a problem with the physical "home" button (there since new) this week and I was told and shown my base moister sensor was red also (though not sure why and headphone jack sensor was fine). Anyway, the guy still fixed because "I said I'd replace before I looked at the sensor." Not sure how often this occurs, but you may try a few stores and give your best sob story and maybe get permission for a repair before someone checks. Course I'm worried about the next time I have a problem. On the app front, yesterday tried the pretty cool, free Audiobooks app, which is an interface for the 1800 title public read LibriVox library. Pretty cool. Free access to 1800 audiobooks for iPhone

Not CDs, but why not sign up for a free trial (though I'd recommend membership) over at B&Ws Society of Sound Music Club? 24-bit files and some stuff Ry Cooter and Ali Farka Toure fans would likely enjoy. The Music - Downloadable Music Albums - Bowers & Wilkins

Last night saw the SFJAZZ Battle of the Bands rematch: The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra v. The Glenn Miller Orchestra. Great crowd, one of the two band leaders was in the original line-up, and I'm stating the obvious, but interesting when growing up with popular music so strings bias, to see an earlier time when nearly everything was done with horns.

Thought some of the Jazz, or even simply piano, fans here might be interested in this Kevin Whitehead audio review of Ran Blakes newest: Ran Blake: Ghosts In The Piano : NPR Music . Immediately ordered.

How do you know he's in Jersey? Anyway, don't miss the decade of web archives. They were sure ahead of the curve concerning the net. WFMU's Recent Archives WFMU Playlists and Archives WFMU's Special Archives

Really depends on use (I actually thought the Lavry DA10 performed better in balanced Senn DAC/amp combo use - where it was hard to find a superior - than general DAC service - where it was easier), but overall I think the two 1100s have been my favorite owned DACs, with the exception of the earlier mentioned, far less practical, Apogee Duet. And even there the preference was slight and due mostly to an overall more dynamic sound, not resolution gain, signature balance, etc. Be aware though I haven't been tempted (except for a moment or two with the Northstar MK1/IIs) to cross the $1K DAC mark, so there's a boat-load of competition I haven't heard. But at the $1K and below level I think the 1100s perform admirably. My only wish would be 24/96 support, but I don't doubt for a second that's primarily psychological. If anything I'm trying to keep my excitement from sounding fanatical at this price point. This sound at $250 is kinda crazy and lately I've become fixated with bang-for-buck.

Icarium has heard most of them and owned a few at a time, but I'm not sure many others have.

Like Hopstretch, I wonder if a list-serve or Yahoo or Google Groups might better work out for a case like this?

Looks like NewEgg has the Black refurb iPod Classic 120GB for $189 today. Apple iPod classic 120GB - dealmac.com

I ordered around 4PM (PT) Friday and Todd said I was very likely within "week after CanJam shipping, but those ordering next week may have a couple more weeks wait." Not sure if "next week" started a few hours later or Monday, but since I'm very sure I don't qualify for celebrity status in any audio or other form, hopefully all of you who ordered before me are in that batch or at the show. He also seemed pretty adamant only 20 were making it to CJ.

Hmmm same price as HF2. What to do? Kinda like their paper AK47.

WILCO (the album)

For those looking for an Apple Mini setup and near a Micro Center. $399. Apple Mac mini Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz Desktop $400 - dealmac.com

I should mention the film festival recently in SF had a big deal to do with my positive Twitter experience (as opposed to when I originally signed up). Could get immediate reviews and general buzz that would have been impossible on FB. We'll see with CanJam. For those who like to watch, there's always Twitterfall

Except over 2% of the worlds population is on Facebook and there's a whole lot more of that over there from my experience. Like you said, I could give a shit what people had for lunch and although maybe it's my friends, a bunch of people who know each other chatting becomes just that. Lunch and dumb Star Trek movie references. And we all know which has more housewives who barely use the net talking about packing up the kids for soccer. I still think FB is a great service (and has helped me rediscover old friends), just too much like a new AOL for regular use for me. But they're changing, including looking more Twitter-like and opening up to alternative clients shortly. We'll see. The two services of course aren't the exact same experience or direct competition, but Twitter easily gives you options to follow (which works much better than "friending" though FB wins on finding) interesting people. For instance read Mark Polansky getting ready for a shuttle launch @ Mark Polansky (Astro_127) on Twitter. Anyway, I'm getting fed up with FB, so resurrecting this thread. As I don't really have enough time for both, and since some of their functionality overlaps, I'm using Tw more and FB less recently. Should humanflyz or anyone else want to post their username I'll follow. I'm blessingx, for general info, and blessingflix (just split), for film & related.

Nice! Ladies...
