  1. I found the following website with some interesting statistical analysis on football. Here's a post on the "risky" calls (onside kick, etc) made by Sean Payton yesterday: Advanced NFL Stats: Who 'Dat Gonna' Kick Onside to Start the Second Half?
  2. Unfortunately, I think Paypal charges the same ~3% fee for instant transfers. Here are the new fee rules: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-fees-outside This is assuming that the payment was considered a "purchase," but I think it has to be if Price Japan doesn't want to get into trouble with Paypal.
  3. Fantom GreenDrive 2TB USB 2.0 and eSATA 7200RPM External Hard Drive - 2 Year Warranty! - GD2000EU - Buy.com 2TB USB+eSATA external drive for $139.99 after $50 instant Paypal rebate and $20 mail in rebate. Buy.com's rating hasn't been very good these days though: Buy.com - buy.com - Reviews, Ratings and Prices at ResellerRatings
  4. That's what it says under that picture.
  5. They probably thought that your package was on the truck that was out for delivery, but they actually missed it when they loaded the truck.
  6. Maybe you can try these heated boots: Columbia Sportswear | Bugathermo Rechargeable Heated Boot
  7. Using sensitive headphones like Grados, my SQ-84 hums/buzzes maybe 70% of the time at home. I tried using the amp at work, and there's no hum/buzz at all. So now I have a 30-pound tube amp sitting on my office desk. I guess dirty power is probably the cause of the problem at home. The power choke is close to one of the output transformers, which is probably why I only get the hum/buzz in one channel.
  8. IIRC, some people have tried marking regular PCM1704 chips as the K grade ones.
  9. I'm pretty sure USB 2.0 has enough bandwidth for 384. There's also the USB audio standard. I'm not sure if the class 2.0 version of this supports 384, but you don't have to use it if you write your own driver.
  10. Dibs! It looks like the warranty on the QB-9 is not transferable, so I'm tempted to just buy a new one once I have enough money saved up.
  11. If there's an USB host controller for the external HDs, supporting external USB DACs should be relatively simple.
  12. If the LCD-2 sounds better than the LCD-1, then I think the price is pretty reasonable. I don't have a pair of LCD-1, but I think the upgrade program is fair unless they gave the impression that it was going to be better. They should try to improve the cable and the headband though. For interconnects this might be OK, but for headphone cables....
  13. That guy also wrote a post about Wikiphonia.
  14. You can actually buy square, hexagonal, and octagonal "drill bits." They are not really just simple drill bits, but you can drill square holes with slightly rounded corners using these things. Here's some information about how they work: http://upper.us.edu/faculty/smith/reuleaux.htm MW article about the Watts Bros floating chuck - Page 2 - The Home Shop Machinist & Machinist's Workshop BBS
  15. I don't think it's a regular USB DAC that connects to a computer. According to the description, you plug USB memory sticks into the USB ports. The DAC then reads and plays the music files stored on the memory stick.
  16. I have an uncle that plays violin for Cincinnati Pops.
  17. I actually didn't realize what it meant until I saw Dreadhead's post.
  18. Even if what you said is 100% true and unquestionable, that alone makes tone subjective IMO.
