I'll get my friend Renato to post here about his aikido and how he has it configured.

I've heard the aikido and it is very nice, though I've not directly compared to the supra. I would imagine that with good quality parts the aikido would come out on top given that its design has a couple advantages over the supra. That is a pure guess though, so take it with a grain of salt.

He bought it quite a while ago... I think he is looking to sell it again though, if he hasn't already.

Copper cored silver wires? That's weird...

Well, I'd blow the money on the TakeT instead, but Fitz makes nice cables [they look nice anyways] and they are pretty inexpensive. Swt61 seems to really like their sound and construction and I've decided to give them a go on a couple upcoming projects.

Too...many...blue...LEDs Seriously though, nice looking setup... you should get a new dynahi faceplate and knob though.

I seriously doubt that anyone in my condo will make that much effort, but if so, all the power to them. I think I have WPA or WPA2 setup as well in any case. It really surprised me how many unsecured wireless networks there are in my section of the building when I originally set mine up. Usually when people come over with a Laptop I get them to just use one of those rather than bothering with setting them up to use mine.

Maybe, but is it easy to find out what the allowed addresses are? I can't really think of a simple way, but admittedly I'm no hax0r.

How is mac filtering useless?

Reading through the Darkover novels by Marion Zimmer Bradley, currently The Shattered Chain.

Oh, lol... research about audio equipment can be fun sometimes.

huh? If it only has single ended inputs, you are probably right.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the phono stages with balanced outputs just invert the phase at the end to generate them. I'd do some research to ensure the phono stage is actually balanced before buying.

Turntables usually put out balanced signals, but AFAIK phono stages are usually not balanced. There are certainly balanced phono stage designs out there though. If I ever setup a vinyl rig, I will definately be looking at one. You are right though, this hasn't been talked about much and I can't think of anyone off hand who has a balanced vinyl rig.

When typing with two thumbs I find that I frequently make mistakes. Ironic that I should make one while correcting someone else.

Lol, stupid Blackberry.

[At least not at the end]

Ok, I'm with Hydrocity, that's the perfect reaction to 207 million. ...Oh, and herion doesn't have an E.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that is the first thing I'd do... then I would probably fill up a gym bag and run.

How the fuck did my spare bedroom get on the internets?!?!

That was a great amp with the HD650's, but it sounded kinda weird with my K340's. Still, if Blackie can make a custom amp for the L3000, I think that jpak would be very happy.

You misunderstand, by 'this' I mean Trose49's reception here. I was not saying that head-case is payback for head-fi...

Agreed. No, I don't believe that you do. There are those that are guilty of this however. If you thin that is what is happening here you are mistaken. Like it or not, this forum and the other one are linked. This has been payback for him being a complete idiot over there, and it has been a long time coming. The fact that nobody is allowed to raise their voice on Head-Fi means it is all coming out now with a certain fierceness.

Great analogy.

This was what he quoted: "I tend to think this place, at times, resembles a school yard and there are one or two that play the part of the little punk that stands behind the big bully and takes his shots or maybe a better descripion would be that they act like little girls that act tough because they are sitting behind their computers and feel safe." Nothing about calling people names because you can. He explained what he meant in a later post if you don't follow. I wouldn't take this personally as I don't believe the redirect of your comment was being directed squarely [or at least solely] at you. If you are trying to tell me that, as a moderator on head-fi, you haven't seen any petty/bitchy behavior on the part of certain mods/admins/owners, I think you might need to open your eyes.
