  1. bought a professional mandoline slicer from costco, but the blade isn't even sharp enough to easily slice through eggplant skin. it's going back. otherwise it looks well constructed with quality parts. i've got a really old one from my Dad a few years ago, although, it's plastic the stainless blade is crazy sharp.

  2. I've washed all of my head-case shirts without similar problems as well, and the 2 canjam shirts I have from the same shirt maker. I'm sorry you're unhappy with your shirt. Would you like to return it for a refund?
    stuff happens, no worries -- a return or refund isn't necessary, but thank you. the thing that sucks is it isn't like i can exchange it or get a replacement. i am going to see if i can get it fixed.
  3. after counting calories for about two weeks i got lazy and reverted a bit to my old habits, but still worked on keeping myself in check. over the course of those two weeks i lost about five pounds and felt i hit a little wall. so now instead of strictly counting calories i'm also drinking green smoothies and i not only feel absolutely amazing, but it has reduced my appetite and craving for unhealthy food. i've been eating exceedingly healthy, drastically cut down on booze, guess i am keeping my daily calories between 1100 to 1400, and drinking a few 10 to 12 oz green smoothies per day. just over a week of doing this i have lost four pounds. in addition, i am drinking a lot of water and quality herbal teas plus taking a few tablespoons a day of Udo's oil blend 3-6-9.

  4. How does the AMR compare to the other CD players you/your friend have tried?

    without a question, the CD-77 is one of the best sources i've heard. it's been a long time since i've heard most of the top contenders, excluding the APL 3.0, but firmly believe the CD-77 is something i'd more seriously consider than the others especially if the Reimyo didn't exist. the price increase is a big turn off and the potential affect it should have on the used market. i'll ask my friend or hopefully he'll post his thoughts here as well, but i got the sense he thought very highly of the CD-77 and more so than the other players he had heard. in the big picture these players are at the top of their game and all fantastic sounding source and truly at this level one could argue it's a lot about personal preferences and to a certain extent the type of system it's going in too.

  5. you are correct the CDP-777 has been discounted and that was not purely by choice, but necessity and lack of future availability of new XRCD transports from JVC since they're not willing to fix the machine that makes them as they have enough on hand and JVC and Reimyo have enough to service the units in use. he'll have to buy used, which isn't such a bad thing as the price is substantially discounted and, in fact, based on my research not one CDP-777 has required service yet or at least due to normal use.

  6. Finding the postings on the calories is like playing where's waldo coupled with needle in the haystack. I hadn't seen a single one, when I was there last week. I'll keep an eye out this week too.

    i believe it is limited to chains with more than 8 locations.

  7. Nice write up, it makes me want to spend some quality time listening to your rig. The AMR and Reimyo are both nice looking CDPs.

    Does your friend share your feelings as to the sound of both these sources?

    thanks, Steve. you might just get that chance on the 10.18.08 as the dealer seems willing to bring the CD-77 to our headphone meet. my friend (aka dreamcomposer) does share similar impressions about each source. he seems now poised to buy a CDP-777 and by the way he's actually a composer so he's ears are well-trained.

    Interesting,I didn’t find the CD77 analytical (although I haven’t heard the Reimyo) compared to my MF trivista or Marantz CD12 and the Ensemble Dirondo 2 box (UK price
