Even as a Bruins fan, who they beat in a SO the other night, I enjoyed watching that Blues team. Oshie is a mini-beast! He took on Zdeno Chara and put him to the ice with a nice check. And he took David Krecji out as well. Horrible to see the concucssion on DK, but it was a very clean hit and cannot fault Oshie at all; a classy interview after the game as well. He's one of those players you'd love to have on your team. The rest of the team is playing real upbeat, fast, inspired hockey. Good luck to them this year.....

Friends don't let friends use Frends. Duuuuuuude

Wow, how cool! I have been off and on recently a site called Remember The Eighties, they have some interesting info and updates on that decade. Oddly, I didn't remember seeing the Feelies album news, though I knew they reformed......

I don't know, butte with the "e" reminds me of a faux hugh end butt. Kind of like "Shoppe" is a title to just alow a Shop to charge more for its wares.

Amaya Laucirica - Early Summer Real nice listen, if anyone likes music like Mazzy Star. Similar voice, but music is a little folkier/poppier/psychedellic. Very entertaining!

It's funny, I think I'll be cheering for Montreal more this year again....as a Bruins' fan, that's nearly blasphemy! But they are just a fun team to watch. Hopefully Price will keep up the good work, and ignore the dumber of the fans and media. As for the Leafs, I expected them to be better this year. Yes, the fans deserve it, they are some of the most hard-core (excuse me) in hockey. But, I'd still prefer if they tanled one more year; Bruins have their 1st round draft pick coming up

If the cups are made with carbon, we can call it the CO2.....

Bruins loused it up in Prague.....they did not look at all together until parts of the third, but I'm still quite positive because of that stretch. Nathan Horton on track for 164 goals this season Man, I hope Savard gets healthy soon (for himself first of course, but for the Bruins as well).

Moar Deutsch Marks.......

Yes, but MOP over Ruthenium......there you go....... Oddly, I'm reading a Clive Cussler book right now, Arctic Drift, and Ruthenium plays a major part in it.

This reminds me a tiny bit of what my British friend called a "Cheese Beanie." Looked ALMOST like that, but slightly more appetizing (and admittedly, tasted pretty good). Needed a bit of Marmite was all I used to like some of the Ultrasones, tried several. Realized quickly enough that it just wasn't real, and never looked back. The closest I got to keeping one was an HFI-2200ULE, if I have the model right. That one was the least of all evils. Haven't heard the Edition series, though, and probably won't; I like my shingles shitless.

Belated congrats! And Nate: we'd (I'd) love to hear the follow-up on how things went when you presented the family the $ and told them about how it was raised...... Just a very cool thing you did!

So question: is the Valhalla the latest FOTM on H-F now? I don't dare read......(I only visit H-F for the naked pictures....I mean, the marketplace forums....not the articles) In all seriousness, for anyone that can wade through the crap and get a concept of how the Asgard really sounds, I'm hoping for realistic thoughts on the relative merits of the Valhalla. Gene's input is intruiging, especially considering the source and the fact that it worked well with high sensitity, low impedence IEM's. I still have my Asgard, but it don't get used so much.... O2 rig for most listening, but I still like the refinement of the Millet Max for casual dynamic listening. Might consider a move from Asgard to Valhalla.

I had and liked the Shanling PCD-3000A, it can double-duty as a player, has variable RCA outs, remote control (including the volume out), and even a cheap but decent headphone amp. A couple have gone used on H-F for < $200.

My condolences to Todd and his family, and the friend's family as well. Only spoke once and emailed once with Todd, but this is clearly a good guy who has a passion for this hobby.

There had been some write-ups before, I think ET may have had this at a show of some sort. But this had to be over a year ago, it's odd that there hasn't been as much press.....

One more for the win....oh, WISH Very Happy BDay, and enjoy the weekend!!!

You're not alone.....I felt the same way when I demo'd the 840c against a better-in-many-aspects Primare player. The upper mids were the part that bothered me the most. Back on topic...... I prefer the "Backstroke of the West" to all edited or undedited versions.....

Does the Droid X use Andoird 2.1? I've read that 2.2 is a nice boost up..... I have a 1st Gen Droid, like it a lot too. I'm also curious about tablets (non-phone) that are coming out with Android OS on them. Some of the Chinese imports do, but Archos is introducing a whole line of iPod Touch-like players to iPad-like tablets - max price $399 IIRC. Could be pretty fun.....

Some pretty good reading on another forum I frequent: Outdoor grilling, Grills and cooking tips - Tweak City Audio and Smoking meat - Tweak City Audio Used to be a GREAT thread on AV123 forums, but since they went belly-up it disappeared. It talked a lot about the BGE's, and some competition. Plenty of food forums out there to check out, too, if you have the patience.

Hmmmm, interesting observations on the Lavry, thanks for them. I owned the DA-10 for a while, guess I didn't fiddle with it enough! I'm enjoying the Parasound 1600HD now, though (along with a couple Sabre32 implementations, DIY Buffalo32 and EE Minimax DAC); so I may not be tempted to bite the Lavry apple again too soon. Oh, and BTW, nice Bill & Ted reference!

^^^ These sound exceptionally good driven by the Audio-GD gear, too! But I'd consider a J$ replacement headband, the weight of them will pull down on your head.

Actually, it'd work fine if he put it in a coconut shell

Searched this forum, didn't see it before. I tried a couple of Mr. Kim Dao's adapters years ago, as part of a discount-for-review program when he first went into business. They didn't do well in my system, he thought it was a mismatch with my modded CD player. Still, he posted the review, hats off to him. Over the years, I've seen his diatribe grow. But methinks he may have gone over the edge now. Read if you can.... Dakiom MA203 &diy5, proven For Sale | AudiogoN

Interesting, I would not normally describe any implementation I've heard of the Sabre32 DAC as "warm." But I thought the comments overall were interesting. I have heard a glare with the 840c that bothered me some, it was more upper mids/lower treble as I thought; I'm wondering if that's what he refers to. I strongly preferred a Primare CD player that I compared to the Cambridge.....
