Salt Peanuts

Very nice, Reks. We have few Shun knives and we love them.

Glad to hear the ear's clearing up, Stephen.

Wait, Nate's actually working on his own gear? Sorry, couldn't resist. Okay, back to work.

IIRC, Concerto is a dynamic/stat combo amp. I can't remember what Acccent-T is, though, maybe a tube rectified PS?

Noting some early changes of 2008, mostly so I can keep track of them... - I sold the vinyl rig (Scout, Vanguard II, HW-16.5). Will most likely pick up a more modest rig once I have an house, which hopefully will be happening before the summer. - Bought a pair of buttonless RS-1. - Sold K701.

Happy birthday!

Now listening to an audiobook version of Dearly Devoted Dexter.

Not a suggestion, but just fyi - HiFiDiy.net transport that Vince built (and subsequently owned by thrice) had AES/EBU output, and the full kit cost $400, IIRC. You may want to ask them how it performed. When I checked it out at a meet, it definitely seem to be solidly built, with nice remote.

I like K271 with velour pads. Unlike some other "closed" cans, they do actually block sound coming in and going out. They're bit hard to drive, though. Also, if you are looking for bass quantity, I'd look elsewhere.

Didn't consider the dust factor - please change mine to clear.

I put on my bomb suit as I plug RS-1 into B22....

I want a headphone stand!

I meant Jon Stewart.

Double stuffed Oreos. Yes, I know it's 10 in the morning.

Happy birthday and have a great one!

oh, and as for the last things I've bought - some bread recipe book and America by Jon Steward from B&N's bargain bin.

Tubes? So you've decided to build yourself a Blue Hawaii?

Agreed. Methinks they should have used darker wood/materials all around. The new black SR-007 MkII, OTOH, looks fantastic.

HEAUDIO 1.3 stat phone, IIRC.

I've been using VitaminSEE with my iMac, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestion for a good image viewer/browser for Mac? I really miss ACDSee I used to use on my PC, but they don't make the program for OS X.

Well, I hadn't actually said anything about the power supply before so you haven't missed anything. Before Zerosurge, the power supply hummed a bit - not all that loud, but I could definitely hear it if I was sitting near my rack (and with limited background noise). With Zerosurge, I can't hear the hum unless I put my ear right next to the power supply.

So this past Monday, I received my Zerosurge unit - the 15 amp/8 outlets model. The first thing I realized was that the power cord on it was wee bit short for my purpose. The cord is 6 feet long and I had to move things around a bit so the unit can reach my rack. I'm not sure how much of a difference it has made, but one thing I know for certain is that my σ22 power supply for β22 barely hums when it's connected through the Zerosurge unit.

I hope you have a better chance of getting in touch with them than I did in the past. I've tried contacting them via e-mail couple of times (both in English and Japanese) and they've all gone unanswered.
