A train doesn't sound bad either! As long as I get to be the caboose that is.

It's a bit technical, but the short version is that it turns these: 1100000101010001110 into these: ♮ ♭ ♯

What will the faceplate finish be? I presume brushed, but ya never know, you might be a polished guy.

Nice! I'm really liking the transport, I imagine you will too. Euell Gibbons would have approved.

Damn! That's an awesome title! But good luck fitting that on a name tag or business card.

Congrats Marc! I'm jealous, oh wait: OK, I just gave myself a promotion too. I feel better now. Unfortunately mine does not come with a pay raise.

Just switch houses guys. Problem solved, that'll be $49.99. (each)

While Marc does love his grease wrestling with skunks, I'd think that the missing wall would be much more of a problem due to reflections, or lack there of on one side of the room. To be more clear, he's planning on setting up a 2 channel speaker rig, that is if I get off my butt and the finish his speakers that I started two years ago. I'm moving this project to the head of the line, and it will have some very unique and very awesome attributes. That really goes without saying though, as nothing Marc does is run of the mill.

Where is my room located Marc?

I'm going to go with the peg leg idea, especially some custom exotic wood ones.

.

Now that looks damn good!

Given his reputation as of late, I'd say buying anything from him would be a really bad idea.

No, it was a pair of Darth Beyers. Sorry to hear this Marc, not sure how you'll ever find out what was taken.

Sounds like a PITA to me. Is use #1 to sharpen the shovel?

Thanks Mike, that's pretty sweet. A computer, PWD and a pair of Quad 12L actives would be a pretty awesome office rig!

Paging Naaman. Naaman to the white courtesy phone please! Thanks for the heads up Nate.

Now it just needs an uber cool name like Ray's amps. I'll suggest 'The Protagonist'.

Dinny can you link me to more info on this bridge thing? I'm not sure what it is, but I'd like to read about it.

So the amp will have a mini XLR connector? Sweet! That's going to be a killer setup Al, congrats!

Unfortunately coming to grips with the fact that there really is very little you can do, is going to be the hardest for you Al. It's an extremely addictive drug, and you just can't make any decisions for someone who doesn't want to listen. I'm very close to this issue, as my Sister is addicted to meth as well. Her 5 year old sons death a few years back is now highly suspect to neglect, and the worst part is there isn't a fucking thing I can do about it. Letting go is a bitter pill I'm learning to swallow, but it's so tragic. Hopefully your friend will be one of the ones who reaches out for help, and has the strength needed to go the distance. I hope so for your sake alone Al.

The Darwin truly would be the perfect switcher for you Mike. Sorry for the fuzzy pic, but as you can see the balanced Darwin kit has 6 balanced inputs, two outputs and a loop out. Plenty of room for future expansion. Unfortunately mine is not going anywhere anytime in the foreseeable future. It may be worth your while to post at HF to see if anyone has a kit lying around, or even a finished unit. Slim chance maybe, but worth a quick inquiry.

That does suck! As a G10 owner this is troubling news.

I've never seen you use that stripper Marc. And I've seen you with plenty of strippers!

That really does suck big balls Al. I hope he can find a way out of the addiction. Tom, while the surgery and recovery can't be fun, it's very good news to hear it was benign. Speedy recovery to you Sir. Sorry to hear of your loss Aura, crossing all fingers and toes that your Mom's surgery goes very well.
