Tom popped my cherry in the back room of Grado labs in November of 2002. Good times. Wait..

Thanks Nebby. Todd - the Lunchbox has a pretty high output impedance - yes? (wondering if that's the ideal choice for a low-impedance can?)

Glad to hear the recovery is going well Justin.

What is the nominal impedance of the HP50's?

Depending on how consolidated & cheap you want to go, and if you can find one on the used market, the discontinued Apogee Mini-DAC gels nicely with Grados, IME.

@shellyh - LOL! @AKG - more insane flagship headphone pricing.

^Nokia PureVIew FTMFW!

^this. thank goodness.

Really nice pics CJ! (and nice story too)

I'm amazed at the industry response to these USB dongle-type DACs (Audioquest Dragonfly, Meridian Explorer, etc.) I mean, a tiny device based on miniature IC's, with output stages getting juice from USB power? What does that say for traditional audiophile engineering beliefs (discrete circuits, beefy power supplies, class-A, sturdy cases, etc.)? Do they really match up to full-sized components, or are they "just" a gateway drug?

^ all of this Jeff - congrats & keep it up!

Hoping for the best possible outcome for you & all of your family Todd.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday buddy.

^ such a cool place!

Slightly belated HB!

Happy Birthday!

This seems like a terrific soccer-dad/mom type camera. Perfect for kids sports or other performance events. The sensor has shown decent low-light performance for the size. Coupled with a fast lens allowing for stop-action shutter speeds make it just the ticket. Add on an RX100 for EDC & you (and potentially a partner) have got family events covered at all times for under two G's. Shit, that would cover 99% of us.

Yes, great pics indeed. You will all look back in a year & laugh.

Happy Birthday Vicki!

Btw, I never got an email confirmation. So I just went to Pogoplug, logged in using my Adorama credentials, & selected the free 20GB option.

Happy Birthday buddy! Once again, you are still older than me

"Broadchurch" finale - I came around to liking this show a lot more after I stopped expecting it to be another "Luther" or "The Fall". Rather than being focused on a serial killer, it unfolds more like a novel, slowly peeling back the layers of a (supposedly) sleepy coastal town. The ending scene is very moving. "Sleepy Hollow" - my favorite new show of the season so far. Better than Whedon's "MAOS", imo.
