It's fine. Every write (erase counts as a write) takes a little bit of life off the SSD, but you've only added one or two writes to it, out of thousands.

SVS Ultra Towers
Who is doing the shipping, Jack? If it's UPS, if it's a residence, they don't even try until after 5 or 6. Car not big enough -- that's why I drive a hatchback there's no such thing as "not big enough", short of preassembled shelving and mattresses.

You grill at work? I bet your vegetarian coworkers hate you.

The Knuckledragger 3rd Memorial Slow Forum Post
^^ Great, thanks, now the thought, "I wonder if there's a female cosplay krampus" has crossed my mind, and of course there is, and I'm trying to resist the urge to look it up.

What are you listening to Part the Third
I'm in love with this new site called progstreaming -- lots of great stuff, about 50% are "yes", 25% are "maybe", and only about 25% are "pass". And that last is largely because of specific things, like too audible a hippie influence or whatever.

Let's wait 'til the end then sort it out.

Bump. (Yes, I missed several days. Sorry. Hopefully they'll do like last year and give you a second chance on the last day.)

Yeah, that's why I asked first. No worries.

SVS Ultra Towers
Well, then hubby can pay for it (at a friendly discount, of course). I am serious, I have too much stuff.

SVS Ultra Towers
Sure, you serious? I do owe you. I looked up the two I have, and they're the SB12-NSD and the SB1000. I'm pretty sure I ordered the SB12-NSD in glossy to match the Quad 12Ls, so I'm keeping that one, but I got the SB1000 in flat to match the Pioneers, and I sold the towers to a friend because I have too many speakers (in my defense, we unboxed them while I was there, but he still hasn't connected them up -- that was several months ago...and yes, he knew that I had them for over a year, unboxed, before that). You are, of course, welcome to it. Re: "bad Dusty!" -- seriously! WTF is wrong with me? Oh yeah, I know -- shopaholic.

And now what did you do TODAY?
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

SVS Ultra Towers
Correct, but it's also more efficient, which is why they're still popular. Shelly, I am ashamed to admit that I have ...uh... two of their sealed subs (don't even know which two -- SB-1000 and SB-2000, I think), but haven't unpacked nor heard either of them.

Astell&Kern stuff
Now that is one unboxing video I'd like to see.

SVS Ultra Towers
I really doubt they're bad. I've heard zero about them -- either way. I suspect your #2 suspicion is correct.
-
SVS Ultra Towers
SVS are more famous for their subs, I've heard zero about their speakers. I would think for US$1K you could do better, but you won't know unless you try, so I say dew et, and utilize that 45 day return policy if it doesn't work out. They do look pretty bad-ass, though. Kinda like the Quad 22L or 23L.

I'm not sure you don't need to change a setting so that it xmits on USB a la USB-OTG. But yeah, get a good one, first. Yeezh.

Dude! Throw those out. There aren't many non-toxic things worse than freezer burn on waffles. Yes! specifically on waffles.

Which Cooking Are You?
I was a guest elsewhere, so I have no leftovers. I think I might make some on purpose though, I always enjoyed adding curry to my leftover soup.

What are you listening to Part the Third
I am not knowing this. (makes a mental note to wander off and look it up when home)
