Produced by Walter Becker... first run through, just half way through the third track... sounding great on the 'planars (bass guitar on this track sounds wicked, drums/percussion elements as well, signature WB...), songs pretty good thus far too! All-star session musicians all over... Lots of elements absolutely stink of WB... Have I mentioned that 'stretch is most unquestionably The Man?

just re-watched S10E05... Caparo T1: 1:10.6 Ferrari FXX: 1:10.7 ha HA!

Clearly the three of us have demonstrably superior taste. (from my subjective point of view anyway! )

That's been my modus operandi since I got here... (gotta take credit for bringing up the Sighs tho )

what is <3 ?? baby, don't hurt me... oh and to contribute content to a very-content-based thread: currently spinning: Duncan Browne - The Wild Places (1978) Not one of the decade's finer album covers, though as demonstrated previously it gets far, far worse...

Seen enough Ken Block already... super fun in the beginning, gets kind of old...

I know! A killer album all the way through! Their other one (stay tuned...) isn't quite as consistent but still good. Was kinda wondering if you were going to point that out

Squeeze - East Side Story (MFSL) tough to post a pic from iPhone... Probably doable with 3.0 but can't be arsed!

I really didn't enjoy E03... the SL black does nothing for me, cheap car segments could have been better... SIARPC guest most annoying man alive...

Tad poncey, if I might be so bold... How about "Piss Boy", a la Mel Brooks' History Of The World: Part One...? It's good to be the king!

for the girls...

or at least a custom title...

no to the sink, yes to the shower... i don't have any watersports hangups (really!) but my gf and i actually timed things so we'd both pee in the shower at the same time together once.................. you know it's love when............

Agreed... lot of op amps in there, looks like 15 in total actually! Would be nice to know what they are. Such a bummer this thing is SOTA digital and a pretty disappointing power supply and analog section... the Ayre is hardly a slouch in the digital department however, thing just needs a BNC input and I'd be all over it...

Van the man! And I see some Night and Day, Heroes, and a Neil Young album I'm quite fond of in there as well! Sweet. Gonna throw this on - was supposed to be Joe Jackson's last hurrah and "Fuck you!" to pop music, released in '91.

A guy in Hong Kong IIRC on diyaudio even did a run of adapter boards for this... In fairness I did ask via e-mail and as I recall, it wasn't Nelson or Wayne who responded. If you do have better luck on the boards that would be AWESOME! Definitely new boards as the layout is totally different... someone's gotta have a stash of these things... btw I am away from home on business at the moment, but have a ton of hi-res pics of the inside of my 24/96 D1 if you or anyone is interested in peeking at... could share when I get home... I had heard about the Silmic IIs in Wayne's D1... even hinted it'd be pretty nice if he'd install them in mine when it was at Pass, but got no response on that one, suspect they do not want to be in the business of modding in any way, and fair enough. Definitely too bad they have to work so hard to keep people from ripping them off, especially seeing as how they are so generous with the DIY community... ah well, when you're one of the best... Cheers, Josep!

What about the pair of virgin SR-Ω we hooked up to a BHSE cranked to 11 with Britney Spears playing until they turned black from arcing?

Sweet! Thanks for sharing! T'would be interesting to know what op amps they are using in there, I can't tell from the pics... could you ID them please? Looks like there's 12 of the things! I've actually heard rumblings which suggest that such a product may not be too far off... but why PCM1704 again? That's what's in my 24/96-upgraded D1 (x8)! Really the only thing that sort of sucks about the 24/96 D1 is the DF1704 digital filter and of course it doesn't go above 96KHz... my wet dream would be to build a new input board with a PMD200 filter for the PCM1704-equipped D1...

arse biscuits....... SLIPPING!!! bah! ..............overtired! 3:13, time for bed...

If this had just one more input (BNC please!), I would stop dreaming about the Berkeley and buy this... but based on the layout with the USB receiving circuitry on its own board, which I would assume sends I^2S to the main board............. well it probably isn't impossible to design a S/PDIF input board! switching boards to switch sources would be pretty tedious however. Monseigneur Hansen... are you listening?

snipping the clippers snipping the clippers through the telephone wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiires

Thank you... bought it in late '05 and it is certainly a nice piece... haven't heard a digital source that does deep, tight, authoritative bass like this thing. Combined with the X250.5 into my Magneplanars (MG-IIIa), I have no desire for a sub... as for not selling it, even though it's been 24/96 upgraded? I have always wanted to hear one of these with a PMD100 in it, looks like it'd be mighty easy to drop into the earlier CS8412/PCM63k version using an adapter... Interestingly I have only ever seen one picture of a unit that left the factory as a 24/96 version, all the others I've seen have been after-the-fact upgrades... I'd give my balls for one of the original input cards but Pass told me to sit and spin. ugh! brutal! what a steal... Who at Pass were you talking to about the Alpha? perhaps I'm being daft but I can't find a technical explanation on how the digital volume control works... and no doubt it wouldn't break HDCD on this thing That black version is SEXY! Too bad I don't have the cash to swing and really would have to hawk the D1 and SFD-2 Mk.III...

sorry, couldn't resist... it's a killer amp and you'd never replace it... i they are 4u in height and full 17" width, 19" with rack ears... still years and years on the warranty... but cheapest one on agon right now is about 1.7k... if you can live with just three channels the 5B ST should be a tad cheaper... you may also find a 9B ST rebadged as a Lexicon NT512, and the 5B ST rebadged as NT312... the Lexicons should be cheaper as, although Bryston build them, they do NOT have the same 20-year warranty... if for some reason i ever went multi-channel, i'd go for one of bryston's multichannel amps...

All the best to you, Birgir! Cheers!
