^ All in good time. I noticed the similarities in your impressions, and wonder how both of your respective DACs compare sound signature-wise.

^ Interesting. I got my All Things Must Pass, Concert For Bangladesh, Living In The Material World when they came out. They are part of the reason My LP collection hasn't quite been disassembled yet.

Got an email from Todd, and apparently I'm the next in line. It would probably have been posted by now.

Ahh, impressive sailing history. I surprised myself with the Livestrong purchase, great shades but...

Sailing? Same here, with Kenwood Cups and Big Boat Series in the past. In the end it was Melges 24s and I14s. I'm down now with injuries. Never used shades even in the hawaiian sun, because the salt and water drives me crazy. Of course 3 days into a sail up to America brought on the splitting headache from hell, so shades for the rest of the passage. I have the Rudy Horus which has bendable nose and ear pieces. Very adjustable, not stylish, but good lenses. The Livestrong Radar Path cost $190, but you know what Billy Cyrstal says in Fernando's Hideaway.

Need to look into Tifosi, and check out how fast they react. We have 2 short tunnels at the top of a petite climb with fast running traffic, not the smoothest paving inside, and 40+ mph when you hit daylight.

I wish--just black iridium. I need to change the Livestrong to red iridium, because the black can be sketchy cycling with debris and potholes when coming out of tree shadows.

Got a new 3 prong yesterday, saved $21. http://808golfstore.netfirms.com/store/page3.html Then these--Livestrong Radar Path, and Flak Jacket XLJ

I have clipping with Chrome as well. Sometimes it lasts for a second, other times its more prolonged sounding like an audio tape piling up between the heads and rollers. Its highly irritating but Amarra is worth, till something equal or better comes out.

I'm having a *hard* time getting through a second reading of Robert Fitzgerald's Odyessy. Despite it seeming to have a higher reputation in academia, There are many instances where I wish it was Allen Mandlebaum's version I was reading.

Julia Fischer. Scroll down for the vid--its pretty cool at several levels. Works well with your system. http://www.amazon.com/Paganini-24-Caprices-Op-1/dp/B003JVIB9Y/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1321638737&sr=1-3

Excellent impressions blessingx. I'm on the loaner list about 3 weeks out. Its going to be an interesting comparison, as I'm pretty enamored with the GS1. Still, I'm looking forward to this, as I have three options for an amp upgrade. The GS-X is the easiest solution, but with the loaner program, the Peak and Arete shouldn't be ignored.

Doh, facetious. No factiousness intended in this particular context, but roger on it being appropriate. I should probably slip it into conversation before the end of the day.

Sorry, forgot the factious smiley.

I'm sure there's a measurement to explain.

An interesting take on relieving digititis. Otoh I think Amarra serves that function quite well in my system, so it will be interesting to see how the Neko will fit in.

Looks like a 50/50 chance here of the Neko's arrival corresponding with my TTVJ/Millet Arete/Volcano loaner. With the A/V so far being reported as a little more analytical and unforgiving than the P/V, and looking at blessingx' review at the Neko forum, it should be an interesting audition.

I'm on U.S Loaner program (round 2), although my time comes more or less in Oct. Argh.
