I'm waiting for an APL modded Transporter.

He is a cutie and looks to be very content in your house. Have you sexed "him" yet? You say "he" so if you have, it's a male. Is he neutered too? Hopefully you'll find that nobody has lost him or claims him. He looks like a keeper to me.

I suppose that the notches in the cover for the two volume knobs is a design "feature". However, it looks like they made a mistake in the mechanical case design and decided it was cheaper to cut the notches than to redesign the case.

Happy Birthday. Enjoy!

Thanks all for your replies. Things have turned a bit. My friend has a friend at Logitech that can get him a Transporter for $1K. It looks like he'll take that route. I think that's smart. He can always get a better DAC later.

Ken,
I'm pretty sure Ed ordered them direct from Sennnheiser. They actually sell quite a few parts through their website, you just have to dig a bit.
You were right Nate. I found them on www.sennheiserusa.com and ordered two of them myself. It's part #92595. For anyone interested, you can find them here: http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/productdetail.asp?transid=092595.

Congratulations Vicki! Cats generally choose their people rather than the other way around. This one has chosen you, such an honor. I'm sure that you two will be blindingly happy together, just keep him indoors.
I'm very happy for you. Can't wait to see the pictures!

Thx Nate. I'll start digging.

Maybe that is Chekhonte?

Ordered two of those Sennheiser HD650 1/4" to 1/8" plug adapters from Sennheiser.
Way cheaper than the Grado one, and I have need to plug full size cans into my Pico, so why not.
Hey Ed,
I need one for my "new" AE-2. Can you please post from where you bought them? Maybe you'd like to sell one of yours to me?

I was wine tasting at the Longoria tasting room in Los Olivos, CA and noticed that they carried a brand of CDs that I'd never seen before, Putumayo World Music. So I bought "Tango Around the World". I'll listen to it tonight.
Would anybody like to share their opinions of Putumayo? I'd have linked to a picture of the CD "cover", but couldn't find one anywhere. Well, not one that would be easy to access.
Last week I also bought the following used CDs:
Melissa Etheridge - Brave and Crazy
Sara McLachlan - Solace
Mama Cass Ellliot - Mama's Big Ones
K.D. Lang - All You Can Eat
Total cost for the used CDs was about <$21 including tax.

Jack Johnson
All of his songs sound the same to me. Boring, boring, boring.

actually the hc of the year should be Kitty
Wait! What about the pretty princess?
:prettyprincess: -
It would be nice if the seller would disclose these issues upfront. I would have passed. I cant leave my transports on with each one having zap filter output stages. This is a pain I dont want to deal with.
Hi Earl,
What's the problem with leaving on units with zap filter output stages? Is it only a problem if there is no connection to amp? I like to keep my CD players turned on and don't want to kill my SACDMod E5 by doing that.

Poor planning.
Yep. Time to reschedule!

For open headphones, I'd suggest Alessandro MS-1. They might not be sturdy enough though. You can only order them direct from dhttp://www.alessandro-products.com/headphones.html.
For closed headphones, I'd suggest Panasonic RP-HTX7. You can mail order them from a number of places and might be able to get them locally.

Happy Birthday!

"Fuck the world! Fuck the world! Fuck the world!..."
Great story! See, I said parrots think for themselves!

Or it could be that people are just parrots and sheep and just follow along and repeat what everyone else is saying.
After reading this, my parrots asked me to tell you that they are insulted being compared to sheep!
Seriously though, I have a Macaw that definitely thinks and speaks for himself. He understands and speaks a small subset of English and doesn't just repeat what we say. He knows at least 100 words and uses most of them appropriately, including some 4 letter words.
Edit: Oops. Didn't notice how old this thread was. Sorry.

Don't I already have half your old gear? No, wait, you buy and sell way too much for me to have half.
I'd rather save for a good tt, but thanks.
Hey, I know where you can get a used Linn at probably a reasonable price!

That's what I'm afraid of finding out. I'm not a collector of stuff (maybe books) at all and I really want to get rid of at least 2/3 of my little acquisitions. The problems is that as soon as I listen to any of it, I remember why I bought it in the first place. I like it. A lot. It makes me really happy. All of it.
If something makes you happy, it's pretty much a necessity. So enjoy and don't worry about it.

HeadAmp Pico as a gift to myself for being a good worker bee.
I love the color scheme that you choose. If I get a Pico, I'll order the "Ed Wood Special".

Started the year with E5 > PPX3 Slam > Headphile modded K340.
Then I upgraded the PPX3 Slam to an Extreme Platinum with BG output caps.
Ordered Leopardwood Darth Beyers to use as a "fun" phones.
Next I decided to upgrade the source. Had Matt @ SACDMods do his stuff on the E5.
While waiting for Matt to do the modding, JP#'s eXemplar Denon 2900 came up for sale and I bought it. It had a minor problem that required me to send it to eXemplar. While there, I had them add all remaining mods. This beats the modded E5 by quite a bit. The E5 has been moved to my speaker setup.
So now I have: eXemplar Denon 2900 > Extreme Platinum > K340 | Darth Beyers
and 
, I think I might have had a hand in the 
as well but can't remember now.

I just checked out the Pico vs. Predator thread on HF. It appears that Ray's post has been deleted. I searched in the amplifiers section and Ray hasn't made any posts in the last 2 days.
