Nate, I think that's a very sound strategy. Throw a Beta22/HD800 combo in there while you're at it. You'll be my ears at CanJam! Do you think the conductors will be difficult to strip like with the HD650 cable?

It seems to me that most of the jokers who have reviewed the 800 over there so far do not have a 'stat rig. Therefore, I will throw out all of their opinions.

naaman, you should tell Ray that you're milspec.

Ken, believe me, you and I are on the same page. If he has a fever tonight, I'm booking a flight.

My son got sent home with a fever yesterday putting the Most Important Birthday Party of All Time in jeopardy. Since I'm missing CanJam for this, my wife and son are going to go through with this damn party even if they are both bedridden. No, I'm not bitter.

Here are the tagging/organizing packages that I came across. I haven't really kicked the tires on any of them except for DevonThink because my wife refuses to learn any other piece of software. DevonThink seems very powerful, but with a steep learning curve, which pisses me off. The others seem pretty basic and useful in some ways. DEVONthink 2.0 Yep Bare Bones Software | Yojimbo Let me know if any of those are what you're looking for.

Jay, right now I'm just scanning and filing manually. But I know of a few decent options out there for Mac. Are you using a Mac? EDIT: oops...you posted while I was dawdling. I'll post some suggestions shortly.

Lynchburg Lemonade.

Nicely done, Ian. Congrats!

Rotating anode machine? Is that like a laser or somethin'?

Start soldering some stuff.

Right on! You guys and gals are going to have a blast. I look forward to a detailed play-by-play, even if incoherent. Pictures are a must. And I'll know to board a plane and start billing if I see any mug shots. Safe travels to all of you.

Not bad. Like Secret Santa, but more fun. Well, not for the recipient.

This is the Stax thread, assfacehole, if you don't like moar random cable arguments then STFU!

Both reasonable responses, but I suppose I find it more disingenuous when people so adamantly state and/or believe that they are immune from any placebo effect.

I'm generally a cable agnostic, but I agree with reks here: show us some data. If it's reasonable to take someone's subjective opinion about the differences between silver and copper, then it also is reasonable to ask for data that would tend to support that subjective experience. That people take such personal offense at such requests is telling. There's a certain arrogance to the "Well I heard it, so you have to believe it" camp that I find particularly annoying, and, in the end, lacking in credibility. Skipjack FTW!

I hope you hate them.

You guys should have a punch down contest.

Now I want these.

Got out of work early to pack and get ready to battle the traffic on the L.I.E.

The P/DD 1500 is a digital surround decoder that appears to also work in 2-channel mode as a stereo DAC. I thinik it uses the PCM-63-J. Your thoughts?

What is the Apache revision C?

jealous.

Learned that the personnel changes my company made recently were actually well thought out. And people were able to keep their jobs. Reminded myself not to take for granted a secure and solid job at a decent company.
