That's why I travel with a known good network There's a Linksys WRT54GL providing DHCP, wireless 802.11G + 4 ports for a wired network. I have some other 5 port switches I can bring so everyone can play on the network - we could even have multiple (slim)servers on the network - any spare Cat5 cables, bring them along. ******** Active speaker Request. ================== Since it looks like we're going to be demoing speakers at some point (Either in the main room, or maybe in one/some of the guest rooms?) Anybody have any active/powered speakers worth demoing for 2ndary setups, I'm thinking active Quad12L's , Audioengine A5's, A2's and the like. JP - if you don't think this (the active speakers demoing part) is a good idea, please say so. I totally understand.

I can't help you with your liver, other than suggesting Chianti and some Fava Beans, but your bits are more than welcome. I was going to bring an external drive, but may have to get extra supplies. The closest Fry's is in Palo Alto, but there is a Costco in Foster City. Almost on our doorstep.

Thanks to the nice UPS man, I can confirm the following slimdevices sources Transporter, Duet (Controller & Receiver) SB3 All driven off a laptop based network, and some HD650's for listening Should make for some interesting DAC comparisons... I'll remember to bring a bunch of power strips, See you all there P.S. I'll bring the nokia 770, get the iPeng plugin installed, and if there are any iPhones/iTouches present we can have a controller comparo as well.

You said cheap, $2.55 cheap enough for you? even comes with those high-falutin' "Fancy" connectors www.monprice.com -Audio Cables - Digital Coaxial Audio Hey at $2.18 for 50+ how about a group buy

The nice UPS man delivered it just in time for the NorCal meet.

Is that the Cat Scratch Fever talking? Hmm, "alteration of mental status"? How could we tell? Hope you get to enjoy a meet, and as a reigning monarch, your loyal subjects cater to your every whim. Now forewarned, I fear Team NorCal Will engage in pre-emptive smack talk in your impressions thread, OK. Just make sure that that young whippersnapper CJ# doesn't get started with his "free variables" crazy talk. The days are counting down, and I have a UPS tracking number just in time for the meet. Ooh fun!

Which raises the question, what will you be bringing to CanJam 08.5, The NorCal Summer Meet? I think JP, Justin, et Al (hows that for a latin pun? ) Have just found their new liquid refreshment provider for the meet.

Food Like this ? Garden Salad #1. Imagine you're hungover. Deeply hungover. Someone presents you with this - and shakes the plate so it wiggles. Frankly, it already looks like someone heaved into a mold and stuck the result in the fridge. But that's Gel-Cookery! From The Gallery of Regrettable Food

A 50's Suburban Housewife?

I could bring along the Transporter, jp11801 can explain what he prefers, and why (with examples ) and we can all have jolly good comparison. Think of some reference material - so its not the mastering that is the issue. Who do we know with, say, a Balanced B22, so we aren't amp limited in the comparison Should be fun regardless.

I take it you didn't see the South Park episode http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_Queer-o "real guitars are for old people".

Why not ask George? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mIZzSPrMX8 Hey, did she just call us musical nerds?

In for a penny ...
