OS X Leopard Impression Thread
I was glad that I could change the way Dock looked without needing to add another software or pay for one. The 3D look was really annoying me.

OS X Leopard Impression Thread
Couldn't wait, huh, Reks? Let us know how you like it (or don't). Of course, now that you're installing it, watch Apple release 10.5.1 next week. It's been almost two weeks since I've installed it on my iMac and I have had no issues with it. I'm using and liking Spaces now after figuring out how to assign Finder to all spaces. It was rather handy when I needed to have almost 20 Word and Powerpoint documents open at the same time. I didn't like the 3D presentation of Dock, but I just changed it to 2D via Terminal and it's a lot easier to see again (like Tiger). Time Machine's working for me fine, but I don't have too much files, and I don't make too many big changes that often, especially with majority of my music files saved elsewhere.

DAC (or CDP with digital input) with preamp function
LOL.

Post the last thing you bought!
I bought it used, so it really wasn't. Even new, they're $135 to $160, IIRC.

Anyone taking this great deal?
Didn't know that bit. I knew I was probably too late when I first saw that A-gon ad.

I got mine and I opened it up. It's basically an Alps Blue Velvet with wires connecting the pot and the RCA outs.

Anyone taking this great deal?
He wanted to trade an old style RS-1's (with brown headband, possibly original flats -though disintegrating, w/o any packaging) for PS-1 or HP-2's, and he'd add some cash depending on the conditions of the cans. He had bought them off A-gon for $475. Though he's retracted them now that he doesn't want to simply sell them.

Anyone taking this great deal?
I really wish I had seen the original Audiogon ad for them sooner, though. By the time I saw it, it was too late. Stupid work/class.

Got me a free VD power cord
I wish I was that lucky! When I e-mailed them about it, I was told that it was over at this point. Enjoy the free stuff!

I know, but I was kind of hoping. Stupid Microsoft taking their time to update the damn program.

Rank Your Headphones
I was including comfort into the ranking, and having a decent amp (i.e., with balls) to drive K271. K271 also has an option of upgrading the cables. I guess Etys do, too, but aside from Alex, I don't think anyone's offering upgrade cable for Etys. Of course, if I rank them by usage, Etys trounce everything else I've owned.

Rank Your Headphones
K1000 >>> K701 > K271 > ER4S If I still owned OII and RS-1, they would be right up there with K1000.

Predator question...
Welcome to Head-Case, sorry about your thin skin! And to your question - I have absolutely no fucking idea.

OS X Leopard Impression Thread
Okay, so even with 3gb of memory, Leopard still doesn't like non-native apps, like MS Office, though extra memory does help.

Holy crap! There are someone else who have seen that movie? Woohoo!

That's too bad. I was really looking forward to it - I love the graphic novels.

November NYC meet
Yep, I've told him that, I think in early October. We'll see if I get it before Saturday.

November NYC meet
I'm tempted to do that, since I'll have my Luminous Axiom Passive Preamp by then. 840C > Axiom > "Insert Long Overdue Single Power Amp Here" > K1000. LOL.

November NYC meet
Nice. I'll have at least with my Gilmore Lite and possibly others, though at this point, I'm considering going without any gears. Hmm, interesting - didn't know you can superscript a font twice.

November NYC meet
So anyone else here going? I plan on going barring unforeseen last minute event.

new foobar has the best pretties look evar.
Same here. Though even if it became available, I'd have to re-train myself on using it since I haven't really touched it since I started using Mac few years ago.

Your recent music purchases
Forgot to add Tori Amos - Under the Pink Nope, they're all new Hip-O reissues. I've browsed through SH forum and the general consensus was they used the same masters. Also, I would have had to pay a whole lot more for them if I bought Rhino reissues. As it is, with the exception of Ben Folds stuff, I basically paid for only shipping & handling for the CDs.
