Went to see/hear Neil Young at the Nokia Theater in LA in November and Squirrel Nut Zippers at the Galaxy in OC in December. Both were excellent. The food at the Galaxy for so-so but guaranteed good seats.

If you are interested in tube cdp's, you might also want to be on the lookout for used eXemplar modified Denons. I have jp#'s old unit and it's the best digital source that I've spent any real time with. I've only briefly listened to Meridian's and can't really compare the eXemplar sound with the Meridian sound.

Vicki, I'm glad that Groucho is working out so well. Congratulations.

It takes that long for them to recover from the New Year's Eve hangover! :'(

Oops, how did I miss that thread? Or did you do it via PMs?

I recently sold my DAC-AH to a fellow HC'er. It arrived in good shape, but he had the following issues with it: I received it back today, again in good shape. I briefly powered it up without making any audio connections and there was no tingling or any other feeling of electricity. I touched the case in multiple places, including the RCA sockets. When I was using the DAC, I never had any electrical problems. One difference is in how we used it. The buyer used an optical connection between his source and the DAC whereas I always used a COAX connection. I'd like to debug this without electrocuting myself. I have only very basic electric circuit knowledge and definitely need some help. Could anybody suggest what is happening here? Why did the buy have problems, even after changing power cord, electrical socket and RCA interconnects? Thanks in advance for your help.

I see. Well it's nice that Ken offers a "bargain" version.

It's only $195 on the ALO website! Why that's darn right reasonable.

That's why you are getting shocked. It's God punishing you for watching trashy network TV!

Gene Kelly is dead! Definitely be the mouse!

Me too! To the OP, you can also look at www.headamp.com for more information.

Another fifth of Rebel Yell. I was out and am making "Bourbon Wieners" for a for a pot luck tomorrow.

Remember that the fellow is the mirror is very untrustworthy when it comes to these kinds of things. Keep smoking cigarettes and you'll be 50 soon enough too.

Vicki shares better than you guys do!

Vicki, please bring it to MOA. I'd like to compare its amplifier section with my AE-2.

I do one or the other. I either fill out and mail in the absentee ballot or I take it into the polling place. So I doubt that I'm invalidating my vote. They all scare me. I'd love to see a viable third party. One that's fiscally conservative and socially progressive. You know, kind of the opposite of the current administration. It probably won't happen in my life time.

What?

A bit? A bit?

At the moment, I'm a K340, Singlepower, eXemplar and APL fan. Of course, I can't (or won't) afford the latter. For speakers, I'm a Joseph Audio fan. These all could change at any time. I'm pretty much permanently a tube fan.

Nope. I do absentee voting, so it's only a matter of a little time with a pencil and a stamp. I don't do it for every choice on the ballot, only when all the choices for one office are bozos.

Because of the choices, I often write in "Jerry Garcia". He'd still do a better job than most of the jokers running for office.

Technically, Jack Daniels is Tennessee Whiskey. Edit: Jacob beat me to it.

That's right. Steve, how long does it take for the magic solder to burn in??? P.S. I have one of your Hammond cased Pimeta portables. It's a nice little amp. I just used in on the train rides from SB to San Diego and back.

Oh come on. Everybody knows that commercial manufacturers have magic solder that makes their equipment sound much better. Of course, only after it has been burned-in!

We can do that after everybody leaves. Wait a minute, nobody is leaving. Uh oh!
