Until you need coax/opt inputs.

I kind of like old school b-boy style rap, when it was about having fun and stuff.

The larvae are called fucking hellgrammites. I hope I never have to see one in my lifetime.

I thought it was a decent step up from the Elpac wallwart, but I'm not sure how you'll feel about it vs STEPS. If you can DIY it though, probably a good investment. If you don't like it, it's easy enough to sell or reuse on something else.

And what is it?

It appears the Nova is now available for $1199. Sounds like it'd be decent enough pricing if the DAC is done well and the headphone amp isn't terrible. 6922 tube amp?

Wow, the X10 is that bad?

Out of interest, what was the purpose in posting the comments about USB spec in his thread? Also, does it matter particularly if it meets spec or not?
And yes, I think that if you can afford such a USB cable, you can afford a DAC where it wouldn't make any difference. Just wondering where useful posts ends and posting for sport begins.
USB is a standard. It's ethically wrong to make a cable that doesn't meet those standards/specifications and market it otherwise.

Wow, looks like the Phoenix has some serious issues that should have been addressed before releasing it.

He came from the Corda Opera, so it's no surprise this tihng is omgamazing to him.

If you have a few spare dollars I recommend BlueJeans optical cables; I love their orange heatshrink. It gives it a more robust and vivid sound

I agree with gain@2, unless you know you listen to louder volumes, will never use anything sensitive, will never use anything other than low output sources, or need higher gain for stability with certain opamps.

Friday:
Had to pick up wine in Lompoc. Fungi (Hiroshi) was waiting around for his Sunday plane flight with nothing to do, so I gave him a tour of northern Santa Barbara county. Took Hwy 1010 to Hwy 1 and then to Lompoc. After a bit of searching, we found the warehouse and picked up the wine. Then we took Hwy 246 to Solvang and then Alamo Pintado road north. We drove past the miniature horses and on to Los Olivos. We did a wine tasting at Longoria Vineyards. Then we headed back to Isla Vista and Hiroshi's apartment, where I dropped him off. Right now he's on a plane to Tokyo.
I hope you had a good time Hiroshi. Good luck with your job hunt in Japan.
Yesterday:
My brother, sisters and I opened my dad's storage locker. It hadn't been opened for 8 years. The lock was difficult to open and it took a tire iron to force open the sliding bolt. At least we know that nobody has messed with it.
We took the stuff to my dad's house and went through it. As expected, it was mostly junk. However, there were a few unexpected treasures. There was a 1940 or 1950 era newpaper photographer's camera. There was also a Nikonos skin diving camera. My father bought the later in Japan while we were stationed on Guam (6/65 - 6/67). My brother took those.
The treasure that I found is a Sony reel-to-reel tape deck. I think it's a CT-150, but am not sure. It says "Stereo 150" on it. My dad also bought it while we were on Guam (I think). I don't know if it works, but it is physically in excellent shape so we'll see.
Anyway, I'm glad that's done. Best of all, there were zero fights over anything.
Definitely a good time. In the hectic mess of move out, that "vacation" was perfect. I'd never actually been driving around SB so it was nice to have seen some sights (and just the places in general). Thanks again Ken

Sennheiser discontinued them for some reason and last time I checked there were a few stores that claimed to have them in stock; I just assumed that some more serious searching could come up with more results.
The lower model MX560 is pretty good, not as great but better form factor, that might be more available. And I have no idea about shipping to Canada, sorry.

Sennheiser MX760 dammit!
... but the form factor is kind of stupid. The main earbud+cord is a Y-cord that reaches down to above the belt, making it worthless without a shirt pocket/armband/neckstrap mp3 player, or the added bulk of the extension cord. But oh does it sound good. Walks all over the PK3.
And any earbud will be subject to wind noise in speedy biking

Neat concept, but doesn't look very secure.

I had no idea what it was until I saw your attempt, then I knew it had to be "do a barrel roll"... question is, "a" ?

I noticed ipobj is trying to police the thread, mostly because he falls for all this bs and it's hitting a little close to home looking at his profile, which consists of a couple of hi-fi products and gallons of snake oi.
Between vcoheadache and ipudbj I don't think I'll be following that particular thread.
It's okay, the REAL police have stepped in.

Mmm, Kona.
