She thinks she's pretty high and mighty with her education, but she missed "Real Life 101".
Just tell her that it didn't take!

I just thought of more questions and can't tell from the pictures. What are you using for footers and where did you get them. Were they at Home Depot too?

Merry Xmas to all celebrating it and Happy Holidays to all. Have a great time and try not to take life too seriously. After all, it's not like you get out of it alive!
-
Happy Birthday here too!

It looks like you didn't use neoprene washers as TNT suggests. Is that the case? If so, do you notice any vibration issues? I would guess not as you've built a Flexy before, but just wanted to make sure.

geez you guys are light weights. i drink 2/3rds of a bottle of 93 proof bourbon in about 2 hours, on saturday, and i didn't even feel the alcohol, let alone a hang over the next morning.
You probably just killed the "feel hangover" part of your brain!
Ah, now I understand. You're a young squirt. At my age, hangovers often last two days, so only having a slight hangover that quickly went away is pretty good for me.

This is why my MPX3 went North instead of West for pre outs.
I thought that Nate was giving you the "complete SP experience"?

oops. So much for reading what I type.
Guzziguy is correct. Me neither, since I meant to say "by Matt" rather than "my Matt". <sigh>

We celebrated my birthday yesterday in Los Olivos, CA. Started out by wine tasting at the Tre Anelli tasting room on an empty stomach. Then had dinner at Patrick's Side Street Cafe. My wife and I shared a bottle of 2002 Shoestring Sangiovese with dinner. I probably got 2/3's of the bottle.
Then I had trouble sleeping and woke up with a slight hangover. It was worth it. I have to find out where I can buy more of the wine, but at retail this time.

Thanks everybody. My wife had to be out of town today so we celebrated it yesterday. I almost forgot that it was today except for the slight hangover.
I hope everybody has happy holidays!

Howdy all,
I just received an email from a friend. He wants a recommendation for a DAC to use with his Slim Devices Squeezebox. His desired price is <$1000 and didn't say if buying used was ok. Let's assume that a used DAC is ok with him. He mentioned the DAC-1 as a possibility. Lastly, he mostly listens to classic rock.
I'm not a DAC guy and am hoping that you guys can give me some recommendations to pass on to him. Please note that this isn't for headphone listening. He has a system based on vintage Macintosh amps. I think that his speakers are Proacs, but can't remember for sure.
Thanks in advance for your help.

John Tucker is not offering a few upgraded caps and whatnots, and if I weren't so lazy, he have mine now.
Actually, Boomana meant to say that John Tucker is "now" offerring new upgrades.
I recently bought JP#'s eXemplar 2900 and sent it to John for the upgrades. These are an opamp upgrade and a low pass filter upgrade. I don't know the details and I didn't hear the eXemplar before the mods. I now have $1.9K into it and it's by far the best digital front end that I've spent any time with. It's retrieval of details is amazing.
I've never heard a Lector so can not compare them. However, I had my Eastsound CD-5 modded my Matt at SACDMods. That's a picture of my unit on his website. His changes have really improved the CD-5, but it still lags behind the eXemplar in virtually all facets of Redbook music reproduction.

Maybe you should be the first..
Nah, he wouldn't be the first. Just look at JBLoudG20 above so. He's still banned!

What can I say, I live in the country with almost no ambient noise and I like my hearing.
WHAT?
-
That's just disturbing.
Yes. Of all the faces to use, did it have to be Richard Nixon?

Step 4.5 - "Accidentally" include photos of a high toot source in the picture with your amp!

He sold his K1000s (and all his headphones!) is now left to begging from poor neighbors. It's a sad day for the tall, skinny, soon-to-be drunk on Monday, scary, white dude from Florida (except for the fact he got some kick-ass speakers to listen to as compensation).
I'm sure that this is all true, but he's still scary with a set of K1000s on his head!

I think it was murder. Jamato8 was seen in that tree just prior to the coconut falling.
Now that was funny. I heard vcoheda gave him a leg up to help.
No, John's a good guy and not a fanboy. vchoheda is a huge RSA fanboy and might have done it, but I would think he would try to sue you to death.
-
If you have that amp by the time CanJam rolls around you better not show up. I am one tall, skinny scary white dude.
Especially with a set of K1000s on your head!

Who cares about the hammer. I want to see pictures of the Hydrogen Torch! Ok, the hammer is pretty spectacular, still ...

ought? add that to my spelling grievance list
That list must be huge by now. How many times have you had to upsize your disks to hold it?
In this case though, you don't have to make it any larger. www.dictionary.com seems to think that "ought" is an acceptable variant of "aught". I am assuming that's how you'd like to see it spelled.

Good? Good? I see that you are going for the understatement of the oughts too!

The thread suddenly became interesting to me. The OP has discovered that a "lifetime" warranty is not exactly what he thought it was: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/3536861-post7.html.
He was undaunted and decided that it was great anyway. It's a wonderful example of "inverse sour grapes".
Ah, now I understand. You're a young squirt. At my age, hangovers often last two days, so only having a slight hangover that quickly went away is pretty good for me. 
Guzziguy is correct. 
:rofl: 
How has your rig changed in 2007? And do you have any future plans?

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
