So, I find myself in need of a new pair of JH iems. After a bit of reading I think I will just get another pair JH-13s as I like the sound and have no need for more bass. Has anyone seen Red Eye Red in person?

Happy Birthday Dan

Dusty, I am thinking about picking this one up locally to cover my black watch for my collection. It also covers my category for watch with BJ on the face. [ATTACH=CONFIG]2685[/ATTACH]

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Steve. I will even dust off the Tower of Power headphone stand in your honor.

No I think there are just enough "Head-Fi" HF-2s out there.

Happy Birthday

Yesterday I discovered that I really do not even need to go to a watch store to try on the watches I have been looking at as they are everywhere in my office. 4 Panerais, 3 Bell & Ross, 1 Ulysse Nardin Black Ocean (which I wasn't looking at but now really like after trying it on), 1 IWC Aquatimer Chronograph, 2 JLC Master Compressor Diving Chronos, and 1 Hublot Big Bang All Black. The B&R wear a lot better than I thought they would based on looking at pictures. I really like the JLC and the UN but did not care for the Hublot as I do not want to have to focus on the watch to tell what time it is. It looks really good though.

Really like this album.

Yeah I am definitely not going to go into full collector mode but I am trying to find one or two that I really like and won't look too far out of place in a suit environment. Most of the ones I like are a bit over the top for typical business attire but I am thinking I don't care.

Thanks everyone. Good Birthday all around. Still have a big dinner tonight which I am certainly looking forward to.

Man, I can remember now why I stopped buying watches. There are just way too many that I want after reading a bit on the watch forums. Bell & Ross, Panerai, IWC, Breitling, Sinn. It is hard to pick just one.

Interesting watch. I am not sure how I could live with that chain hanging off the crown waterproofing element.

They only say CD quality. If you are going to buy make sure you use Paypal.

Spent the evening at the unveiling of the new Orange County Chopper Hybrid Bike and spent a little time chatting with Paul Sr. Guy is much shorter than I thought.

I haven't done a whole lot of research yet but I remember a house watch from Wempe here in NY. Large pilots watch, sort of like a large Sinn but a bit dressier. I also thought about going smaller and getting an Omega Speedmaster and a Sinn 356. I will probably just end up picking up a Panerai as they have routinely been some of my favorites during my watch shop trips over the years.

I am trying to figure out how to pass through 24/192 over Firewire into the PWD via the ULN-2 as a FW interface but I have been unsuccessful.

Mike, are you running FW into the ULN-2 and then digital cable into the PWD?

The smallest watch I wear is a 40mm and I think it is a bit small for my wrist. I really like the big watches but I tend to go with something smaller, less noticeable for a daily beater. That being said it is bonus time again and I intend to buy a watch or two. I have seen some really interesting watches in this thread and the big ones always catch my eye so I will probably lean towards a 46mm size this time.

Ah the Ayre Fanboy is trying to cause problems. Input envy is tough man.

As I have said previously I really like the PWD. I would say it gets close to equal playing time with the dCS Paganini stack simply because I often feel it is more involving than the dCS which is one of those DACs that knock you out at first but you find yourself not really getting into the music. I definitely prefer the PWD to all of my other DACs.

Some tips for the new adopters. When you turn the unit on and the Initializing screen comes up touch the screen for a couple of seconds and the options screen will appear. On this you can adjust some things like the auto dimming feature and a few other behind the scenes things. I really like mine on Filter 3 with no upsampling but Filter 1 is the fancy filter with apodizing whatevers.

Though I would never have the slightest need for an Oscilloscope I have always wanted one of those on my tool bench to look cool.
