For many years I drove a pair of HD-650s with a Headamp GLite, which has ~0 output impedance, IIRC. The combination sounded fantastic to my tin ears.

This post has a theme. Moar.

I say again, does anyone know if it's still possible to get a copy of Lion? My now 4 1/2 year old laptop cannot run ML, and i've been reading about SSD support being much better in Lion than in Snow Leopard.

The eBay seller heels-6 makes excellent, no-BS cables at really good prices. He does a lot of custom work, too.

So with the advent of Mountain Lion, it looks like AAPL has pulled plain old Lion from the App store. Is there any other way to get it?

Too busy trying to un-fuck the MacBook situation to be Slow right now, but here's some WTF, Japan Korea?

From what I've observed, OCZ SSDs have an abysmal failure rate. I have a personal grudge against OCZ because they bought PC Power & Cooling, and ruined them. Anyone know what Torx size the screws are on the drive sled that early 2008 (13.3-inch MB404LL/A ) MacBooks use? My smallest Torx bit is way too big.

I'm returning the Mushkin and asking for a refund. Based on this, I think I'll get a Crucial replacement.

It's a Mushkin Chronos, which was very well reviewed. What happened last night was I used Super Duper to copy my original HDD's contents to the SSD, swapped drives and rebooted. Boot time was impressive, as was FFX loading. I had a 15 minute YouTube clip playing while I did the dishes. It ground to a halt in the middle of the video, and my pointer was stuck on beachball. I let it sit for about 10 minutes, but it did not recover. I then held down the power button to force a shutdown. When I powered the laptop back on, it flashed the "no disk" icon. I have an Thermaltake BlacX, and when I plug the SSD into it this afternoon, Disk Utility doesn't show any drives connected other than my lappy's internal HDD and optical drive.

Ugh. The SSD I got for my Macbook bricked itself 20 minutes after I installed it. The performance during those 20 minutes was pretty amazing, however.
