[New wood in da house!]

Thanks for tempting me Must resist

[Is the iMod a ripoff?]

I dont care about the ipod stigma the imod is damned good it isnt a wadia but is spanks all the players I have here and is on par with a home player that is much more expensive. Of course this is on my Stax systems YMMV of course. Will be getting a good listen to the Saturn here soon.

[Stax SRM313 chasis mount RCAs]

Hi guys I opened my 313 to see what was needed and as you know there are two sets of RCA inputs but one is supposed to be a "Tape out" They are paralleled and have two little resistors between the connectors. What are these for? can anyone post a pic if they rewired to better chasis mount RCA inputs? Thanks

manley's dad started Ampeg? now that's just coolness.

No I got ahead of myself. Here is a Quote from Les Paul:

When I(EveAnna) met Les Paul a few years ago at the TEC Awards, I asked him if he knew my Dad. "Why yes, of course!" Les replied, "He bought Ampeg from Everett Hull in my living room!"

Well then... that sure doesn't come as a surprise then does it. The surprise now is why doesn't it come in pink?

hehe Im not so sure you can classify this one like that but I could be wrong Anyway she has been an audio "All Pro" since pratically day one with her father who started Ampeg and her going to Columbia and then studying under the original VTL Labs guys before launching Manley with a slew of innovations and classics in the pro and hifi world condenser tube mics and so on So when she does something like this others are watching very closely. To this day their Reference Dac is considered by many to be the best ever and a 10 year old DAC still commands 5K+ (which the chipsets are irreplaceable if something goes wrong). So I do respect her greatly and so do many others. You can bet we are going to see much more of this.

Wow that is deeper than most realize, is that some Kant or an original Chalkism? Bravo either way and good point.

[For all you portable toy haters.....]

Manly just lots its balls in my book... then again it wasnt very manly to being with.

Your right Manley never Had any balls to begin with http://www.manleylabs.com/bioeveanna.html

[For all you portable toy haters.....]

One person got it right I see. Manley feels the iPod is "Toy" enough to include integrated docks right into their most HiFi designs. This is on display at CES right now along with a Mahi dual mono in a single chasis with integrated dock. Interesting to see what other manf. are sourcing with portables at the show. Not saying I agree with it but in all reality we soon might have docks in many of our boutique High end components. If we choose to use them or not.. well thats another story.

Ben Gramain I define portable in this case as using a portable device not as straping on a manley. The question is is there a iPod source in the Halcro booth???

[For all you portable toy haters.....]

better start coming around

For the times they are a-changin'

[Great Audio Buys]

Sloth do you think the newer quads are worth the premuim over the 988/989? I havent heard the new one but Quads are right up my alley in all that Ive ever heard, they never dissappoint.

[Patricia Barber SACD]

Agreed Patricia Barber is always on heavy rotation with me and the MoFi stuff is exceptional. Now if only Diana Krall would have this kinda mix and release Id be in heaven.
