The Monkey

well, I need it for some knobs too...

heh, the Esoteric.

So the basic premise is correct, right? Some hex keys/drivers are better than others?

It's all about torque these days, gentlemen.

I'm looking for some new hex keys/allen wrenches. I have the typical cheap set and assorted ones that came with furniture, but those suck because they tend to corrode or get stripped by tight screws. I need a set that is well-made and has more torque than the typical L-shaped keys. I know Klein makes sets, but they can get pricey. Any recommendations?

Sounds good. I'll get my beerce ready and will draft 17 kickers.

I ripped some this past weekend. Will try to light the light this week.

What's the German word for "funky"?

heh, they do sound cool though.

Went to the Yankees game with a bunch of HS friends. Had a decent time. Wife and son came home after 2 days away. Realized I probably would have had a better time staying home with them. Not as young as I used to be.

I'm thinking December.

This thread is descending into the and fast.

Welcome aboard Brady. Audioengine makes quality stuff.

One of my all-time favorites.

There is a good chance that this monster is going to eat my other DACs.

Sorry to hear that Vicki. Spent the day in East Hampton. Checked out the big surf. Jogged, swam. Headed home with my Dad. Mrs. Monkey and Little Monkey stayed out there. Home now watching the Yankee game.

All I want is for the pretty pretty lightses to turn on on my DACSes.

Thanks Dusty. So the 16-bit might not be "perfect," but it would still be discernible from the "regular" redbook (assuming one can tell the difference)?

Is it possible to rip HDCDs using iTunes such that you get the extra preciouss bitses? I understand that you can rip it as a regular CD, but HDCD is 20-bit, right? If iTunes can't do it, is there a way to rip HDCDs while preserving the "HD" portion? EDIT: Assume a Mac, but I also have a PC.

^Good lord those are adorable children. Jack had a black & white cookie for dinner last night. I just partially fixed my parents' doorbell. It hadn't worked at all. Now it "dings," but it doesn't "dong." I still feel manly.

Out at my parents' summer place. Jack awoke at the asscrack of dawn. So he and I drove into town to get bagels, coffee, and most important, chocolate milk. En route we saw roughly 30 wild turkeys, which are thriving out here since the red foxes mysteriously disappeared. Saw a bunch of deer, too. And some ducks. All good for a city kid. Now we are chilling, watching some Blue's Clues. I like having a son. And I like coffee.

Nicely done, Dan. I can see one of those in Jack's near future.

I like my A4, but it has been a pain in the ass in several areas: - The damn tires wear out/go flat more than any car I've ever owned. - Electrical system is lousy. - Not so much with the gas mileage. Despite the above, it is comfortable, great in bad weather, and drives well. I'd buy an Audi again.

Oh, and I bought this:
