Shelly, once you've had a few classes, you can kick Mike and Colin's asses. Jeff is a different story.

A bunch of USS New York crap.

Just got back from the commissioning ceremony for the USS New York. Man the Ship!

Oh, no worries, these things obviously suck.

Is it possible to suppress post count but leave join date on an individual User basis? In other words, if I wanted my join date to appear, but no post count, could that be set for me only?

I like the translucent black.

Is Simplify a music streamer (i.e., does it stream your iTunes library to your iPhone)? And they just updated it within the last couple of days. But I do love that app.

What apps are you using these days? Me: - Remote - Bejeweled 2 - NY Times - Things - Epocrates - MLB.com At Bat - ESPN Fantasy Football - City Transit - Official NYC Subway Maps - Shazam (personal favorite) - Facebook

Yeah, it should be bigger.

What's the other gears?

I now officially love the new Apple Mouse. It's not perfect, but it's really really good.

Ugh, so sorry to hear that.

Actually, at my old firm the female associates in tax were pretty good looking.

Ok, so I have a friend who is becoming more interested exploring vinyl. He's not in a position to put too much $$ into it right now, but his parents have an old B&O Beogram 2000. Is it worth it for me him to see if it still works? Is this considered a decent turntable?

That sounds just plain awful. And I agree 1000% with Al. And that goes for the guys, too.

Jeff is pretty much my hero.

Tile problems.

Al, et al. (heh), thanks for all the info. I have looked at those Sony units before, but I think it sounds like SACD is not much longer for this earth such that I should invest. I do wish those damn Sonys had digital inputs, though.

Nums, how would you compare the ULN-2 to the Esoteric D70?

dammit.

Thanks Dusty. My cousin had a ticket to the City Hall ceremony, but I just can't do it today. Plus I'll be outside tomorrow freezing my ass off for the USS NY commissioning. Yankee fans dispersing now and making their way to near my building (we live right next to one of the ferries back to NJ).

Oh well, that works too.

How would one rip SACD to a hard drive?

I'm selling my NAD redbook player, but have been interested in one of the Oppo universals for a while just to give SACD a shot. However, I know nothing really about SACD. Is it all hi rez? Will there be a noticeable difference in a two-channel headphone rig? And, perhaps most importantly, do SACD players play nice with standalone DACses? Educate The Monkey.
