Salt Peanuts

The receiver's in surprisingly good condition considering how old it is. It'll be replacing the Parasound/Teac combo in my living room, which will simplify things a bit in there. The bulbs for the tuner display needs replacing, but I may not bother seeing as only stations I listen are the two local public stations (i.e., don't need to be able to see what station I'm at from a distance).

Picked up a NAD 712 receiver locally for cheap.

Great to hear your daughter's getting better!

Already there.

Didn't realize that second season had already started now that I don't have HBO anymore.

Season 5 premiere of Deadliest Catch from last night.

Damn, Smeggy, they look fantastic! So when do you plan to start taking on commissions?

I bought one, too. Too bad I don't have a vinyl rig anymore.

Cake - Motorcade of Generosity

Cowboy Junkies show last Friday at Newburyport.

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago

I like them. Let me know if you want to take a listen.

Bon Iver - Blood Bank

Active USB extension cable from Sewell.

Not yet. They will be shipped over the next 1-2 weeks, according to Justin.

Two tickets to a Cake show. I had forgotten how annoying (costly) the Ticketmaster is with their never ending variety of "handling" fees.

Happy Birthday, Zach!

Built a wardrobe, put up a wall-wide/length curtain in the audio room behind my speakers, and cleaned/reorganized the audio room and guest room.

A new sofa for the living room from Jordan's (if the Sox sweep, it'll be free; in all other cases, we get a coupon equal to 20% of the sofa's price). Also, waaaay too much things from IKEA to finally finish furnishing the guest room, as well as few things for rest of the house. For a second, I thought you meant Grado HP-1.

Happy Birthday!

Ran Criterion Collection DVD

I take it you're liking yours, Dusty? I also got around to adjusting the output level on mine and it's nice to have bit more volume range on my preamp. Bit off topic, but I'm looking forward to see how production Pico DAC compares to Duet.
