I think it'd be hard to find anyone on this site that disagrees with the idea that police accountability in all matters is paramount.

$54 a click for "insurance?" Holy guacamole. So that is where those high premiums go.

If anyone is interested, the Millbrae Pancake House is a nice place to meet up for a group breakfast before the show doors open at 10AM.

Isn't that a good thing? Welcome to using free software.

Instructions for how to skip the "line" and upgrade right now.

Just did a clean install to de-gunk my drives. Working great.

I'm hoping at least one exhibitor has some super efficient speakers to show off. I'm considering picking up one of Craig's amps to run both dynamic headphones and speakers. It looks like some of his amps do 3W @ 8 ohms while the new Studio will double that up to 6W. At the very least I'd probably want a speaker with > 90dB/W/m, right?

I plan on being there Saturday the 15th.

Happy first birthday! -- My old gal, Sushi, turns 17 in October! She has been an indoor cat basically the entire second half of her life which seems to have kept her in good health. She is still as fussy, affectionate and spry as she was 5-10 years ago.

Finished this piece of Schiit last night: Jason's book is pretty darn good. Better than it has any right to be. I really enjoyed reading it. Jason is a decent writer and he is a natural at sharing his experiences in and out of the audio world. I'd heartily recommend this one. 4/5. Can't say it has me interested in his sci-fi books though

I've been running the preview for the last month and it is pretty solid.

Thanks for sharing, Andy. I'm looking forward to mine showing up. I'm 2/3s of the way through Jason's book and I'm happy to support Schiit.

I went ahead and put in a reminder in my calendar to call a year from now as soon as the "promotional" rates end for this very reason.

Nice, also called comcast and got them to cut my bill more than 35%! It is still an absurd amount, but at least it isn't the ridiculous sum it was before.

Well that sure was easy. Plugged the SB in when I got home and got a prompt within 5 minutes to get it set up on my account. Working like a charm!

PSA: Stay the fuck away from the iOS 9.0 public beta. In its current form it is quite a mess. Worst problem? At least a solid 25% of my apps flat out do not work on it, including Plex and the Oppo app I use to control my BDP-105. They also completely screwed up the podcasts app. -- I've been having much better success with the El Capitan beta on my work computer. The full-screen snap feature works really well. You can also set the top menu bar to auto hide!!!!!!

So relaxing. Just what I needed.

Thanks for making this thread, DC. 6141 purchased. Shitty comcast modem will be returned to them as soon as it shows up.

Lowered it a good 2 to 3 inches.

So I've been reading Jason's blog over at head-fi. I have to say, I'm really enjoying it. The guy is nothing if not determined. He also seems pretty honest.

I have now! Wow. Also impressive looking! -- After meets I tend to browse the forums and see whether my subjective impressions matched up with the crowd. Browsing Tyll's site, I came across this video of Frank Cooter talking about the amp at a Southern California meet. Very cool and worth a watch. Boy are we ever lucky to have guys like Frank Cooter in our hobby.

I had an awesome time at the Bay Area HF meet today listening to rigs and chatting with friends old and new. It was fun to meet a few more of you in person after conversing online. I played this one a little differently and brought a pair of HD 600s with me to test out all the rigs. Rather than listening to different headphones I basically stuck to only the HD 600s. They really do scale pretty remarkably to the rig. I posted my impressions over on the other site. Other than chatting with friends, highlights of the meet included the Eddie Current table and the most beautiful DIY amp I've ever seen made by our own Frank Cooter. I put a few pictures of it

The pictures don't even come close to doing it justice. Jude has himself one hell of a looker. The tubes on the amp are just massive. I've never seen tubes that big on a headphone amp before.

I tried! He made it for Jude.

I had a chance to listen to a couple of Yggy based rigs at the SF Bay Area head-fi meet today and I was pretty darn impressed. I ordered one. It should make a nice compliment to the Oppo. -- I had a chance to hear the new Eddie Current Studio amp running off a Yggy. Holy fuck, that thing sounds amazing. Hands down the most impressive (dynamic) amp of the meet. Good thing its so goddamn expensive or I'd be tempted. I almost walked out of there with a Zana Deux amp to run my HD 600s but then I remembered I had 009s at home Most impressive electrostat amp was Frank Cooter's latest masterpiece. It was easily the most beautiful DIY amp I've ever seen.
