Jealous Monkey is jealous.

MOAR SKIPJACK! Also, good stuff here: http://www.inday.com/

The truth is, it can be hard to tell differences between these damn things. Also, the specs on the output voltages can be misleading. However, I'd like to know more about the Toslink switch in there. What make/model?

Well, that kind of sucks. Do they make special ones for teflon coated?

I think it's the other way around, isn't it? See here: New York firm dumps Koss stock - The Business Journal of Milwaukee: If you look at the filings, they show that Royce owned ~700k shares on or about 2/3 and then Royce was down to ~70k on or about 2/4, so it looks like some serious trimming. That said, someone out there was buying it.

It would be great if they were all "HEAD-FI" models.

If it were me, I'd go with a balanced [redacted].

Joe Walsh the candidate sure is a d-bag. He actually had the makings of a pretty decent response if he didn't let his tea bag craziness take over. I love the first letter by the way.

Heh, it was a while ago now. And the rejection letter was extremely creepy. Almost comically nondescript stationery and the letter writer used signed first name, last initial.

^I used to work at the Food Network. Met a lot of chefs there, and still know a few. It's no joke; one of the toughest businesses to crack. But those I know, love it.

Obvious question, but is the driver seated properly? If so, sounds like a new driver for you. Although I recall some strategies mentioned when I had a similar driver issue, so others may chime in here.

Celebrated Mrs. Monkey's last day at now former employer.

I went to college near the CIA. We used to go there for special dinners. It's an awesome place. EDIT: I also applied for a job at a different CIA, but that's another story...

pffft. JH 28.2 FTW!

Bass snobs.

Let's get him.

Gotdam defense counsel.

You sure talk the talk with all that "knew or should have known" mumbo jumbo. But seriously, I used to be a litigator, but I also have no clue. Regardless, and this isn't legal advice, if it were me, I'd let gon know that it allowed two people to be scammed through its site. Also, be careful og A'gon's "dispute resolution" service because it appears that you agree to indemnify them and hold them harmless. Obviously, a'gon didn't commit the fraud, but they let it happen. Twice. Not cool.

That sucks ass. What about going after audiogon?

I was tempted to start a fake fight with you about burn-in, then decided to have a drink instead. EDIT: I also sent Todd an email seeking his impressions. I like Todd.

I really like it.

I recommend reading Tyll's review at HeadRoom. That seems to be a pretty objective and informative set of observations. I would not recommend the thread over at HF. That's a disaster.

Yeah, I just spoke to my colleagues from the other boroughs and it sounds like Manhattan did not get the worst of it.
