What source did you use? I KEED. I KEED.

Duh, what does DSD mean?

Futhermore: That remote seems kined of retro-looking to me, but it might be fine to use. Is it similar to other Oppo remotes?

According to this comment from this thread, it's the firmware that can't support DVD-A. In my experience Endgadget users are morons, but if it's a firmware issue it can presumably be corrected.

This attic used to be a Superfund site. I removed an epic quantity of squirrel shit out of here. It was glued in place with a like amout of squirrel piss. It took the use of a shop-vac, putty knife and paint scraper to clean it off. The floor is still not 100% clean, but it's as good as it's going to get. The contractor suggested I varnish the wood to keep whatever ...residue is left from coming up. The second coat is just about dry now, and I can probably begin putting stuff back into this attic tomorrow. The odd patches of insulation are where I had to replace sections. The squirrels had chewed it up to make nests ...or for their own amusement, or whatever. I should point out that my bed is immediately behind the wall to the right in this shot. I spent six years(!) sleeping with my head about two feet away from an every-growing pile of flying squirrel ejecta. How did I fail to notice this? Well, I used to hear them crawling around, but it was hard to pinpoint where the sound was coming from. Secondly, this attic was full of all manner of clutter (go figure.) Lastly, the squirrel nest was under this fucking thing: I don't know what it is, but it was nailed in place very securely inside the attic. It took the combined efforts of me, the contractor, his assistant, and two crowbars to get the blasted thing out there. If you look really closely, you'll still see some ...squirrel marks on the bottom of it. I think I should compile these episodes into a book, and call it The Squirrel Shit Diaries.

Likewise. I saw that minifig pic a few days ago, but I don't think I saved a copy. ...and now Um:

I'm not gonna lie, I wrote that post for the purpose of having an excuse to use that smiley. Dayum, that was quick. Of course with the mods around here, it'll be mighty useful. Err, what does dotu refer to?

When I bought my Blue Dragon IIs (early 2005) the consensus on Head-Fi (take that as you will) was that they were considered on par with the Cardas cables. The BDs were much better looking than the smurf-blue Cardassians, so the choice for me was easy. I think at the time Drew charged the same or nearly the same amount for Cardas or BD Senn cables. I have never heard Cardas headphone cables, but I had a pair of balanced Cardas interconnects for many years. They were exceptionally well build, lightyears better than my oh-so-fragile Kimbers. Cardas XLRs appear tough enough for stage use. I was quite happy with their sound when I had them, but I'm not one who uh, does much critical listening to spot the differences between interconnects. I have since traded them to swt61, and I believe he is quite happy with them. There aren't many other Cardas products with which I've had firsthand experience, but based on the quality of what I have seen, I would certainly buy their stuff again. Especially if it's not so smurfy looking. Also, I don't think anyone was taking pot-shots in this thread, so let me rectify that: n_maher is a poopy_head. Wait, that was a joke! Put away that ban stick! AAAaaaagjkgjkfgjfkjgkfj....*

You grawk-blocker! He offered it to me first! ... I just bought 624 feet of pipe insulation. 288 feet for 1/2" pipe, and 336 feet for 1" pipe.

IAWTC.

I like "Slow Roller" myself. In another lifetime (say, 1993) I was a moderator on a dialup BBS network called SlowNet. ISTR a lot of activity in on the "Jokes for the Slow" forum. The more things change... *bark*

Is that a brick or a red Pico?

Dude, HeadAmp products are well built, but I'm not sure they'd stand up to being launched. There aren't many options for pre-built ones, but you can try try this DIY guide if you're really set on projecting your Pico.

Aww, I didn't know you guys cared. I am now officially the Slowest Head-Caser.

How much do unlocked/Euro iPhones go for on the grey market? My service provider is T-Mobile, but I don't have a data plan.

Ugh. Yuck. Erg. This stuff is miserable to work with, but it's R39. I are so not a professional insulation installer. I am dirty and itchy and can barely breath.

Oh, right. This thread. I, uh, still haven't taken any close up pix of the tubes. I might borrow my friends EF 100mm F/2.8 Macro lens for the purpose. I've been woefully busy tearing out the ceiling of my garage and installing insulation, which is not a job I wish on ...most people. While clearing stuff out to make room for this horrible project, I found two boxes and briefly thought I'd discovered another stash of tubes: No such luck, they're old projector bulbs, for 1960s-era slide and film projects. Pretty cool, but of no use to audio snobs. I'd better keep them away from Mikhail or he'll incorporate them into his next DAC. Aaaanyway ...back to the salt mines with me.
