Oh, they quoted the text and posted it in the head-fi thread? I got the Stereophile link from that forum that Postjack linked to earlier. Apple is really kicking ass in the audiophile sector lately with the Duet and the iTransport. I still prefer spinning CDs, but I can definately see the value of having 160GB of lossless music on an iPod that can be your portable and home source [or at least one of your home sources]. Id be interested in seeing internal pics. Would be cool if they made a linear PSU for the iPod.

Posted verbatim eh? I suppose I could have changed a number or letter, but then the link wouldn't work, would it? Anyways, was it posted here? I just read the thread here and it seems like you guys are under a few misconceptions on how the iTransport works. Thought this link might be helpful to some.

Did someone say naked girls? Go for Stax I guess... those others you mentioned suck. Welcome to Headcase btw.

In case you guys missed this... http://www.stereophile.com/news/010408wadia/

Nice, that's the one I've heard. Is it better than your other zapfiltered zhaolu?

ooooh, more earbuds... just what we need.

Happy Birthday Renato!

Can't say I've gotten gas from beer... then again, I have no idea what DFH is/means.

Yeah, I am still coming down on her hard for the many rounds of 'find the penis' that she played with you. Keeps saying it was a pity thing, but I'm not buying it.

That was my one and only post relating to this little tiff you guys are having. If anyone is 'keeping it up', it's you. I'd appreciate if you keep any sex games that my wife and I may or may not take part in out of this discussion.

I'm confused, did anyone actually rape anyone? WTF is going on here? Jeezus.

Sounds cool, but single ended outputs only.

Um, yeah, that's what I was getting at 'bruthah'.

LOL, Sure Jay... if there is anyone more white on this board than I... I haven't met him yet.

RE: Lots of moderators on Head-Case Moderators are different here than on the 'Fi. Basically, if you are a moderator here it just gives you more power to screw with people... so as far as I can tell the moderator title is just handed out to those that they trust with that power and/or the cool kids. It gives us non moderators something to envy which promotes the atmosphere that we have all grown to love.

Nappy New Years! EDIT: Er, Happy even.

It took me a REALLY long time to find the bike. That's weird...

Just thought I would paste the communication I received here in case anyone else is interested in the information. RE: The new 'Truth' mods for the Transporter. Q - Do you put in your own clock, or use the stock one? The tubes look great, and I bet they sound nice as well. A - We keep the stock clock as it is already excellent and has a dedicated Jung Super Regulated supply already. Q - You said that the balanced output is from two transformers. Do they convert to balanced from an unbalanced output stage? A - Yes. Q - Any way to have a balanced output straight from the DAC? The 6CG7 is a great tube, I use it in my amplifier, the 6GU7 is another variant and is a slightly lower gain version. The RCA 6GU7 is the best tube I've found in this family and can be had for very low prices. A - Thanks for the tip RE 6GU7. The circuit type used is SE only. It is possible to run a dual-diff. circuit from the DAC, but the transformers also serve to reduce tube circuit gain by 4:1 and subsequently the noise floor. They also reduce the output impedance to a VERY friendly 110ohms, from the 600ohms otherwise from the tube circuit without OPT's. Thanks and I hope that this reply is still relevant at this late date. Interest is certainly increasing in this product and those that have it, REALLY are enjoying our modified unit. Take care, Dan W.

LOL, now that's funny. I nominate grawk.

It's not your fault, just saying that I hate that.

I nominate your daughter. [oooh, was that going too far? ]

I hate forums that make you register to view pics.

Awww, she looks like a cutie. One of my cats has a raspy meow as well, gives 'em character.

So, you have a bad experience with UPS and rather than blaming them, you blame a country? Learn from your mistakes and ship through USPS. Weird. I've yet to have a bad experience shipping into the US. You must have some bad luck there Al.
