Weyerbacher Tiny is my favorite $7 beer. Me: dfh namaste from tap Sent from mah Droid

I do it for the nookie.

Nope, they're still wrong -- it's already started.

Had.

So...let me get this straight...the end of the world begins on May 21, according to some god-forsaken family radio?

Great, a site that's basically the equivalent of a perpetual woot-off. I'm going to just pretend I didn't see that.

Previous expletive x2. You two both realize you're in the top 1 percentile of your respective countries, don't you? I wish I could live where you work. No I don't, I just wish I had those connection speeds at home. When I let speedtest.net pick the server, it picks something in Florida for some reason: When I pick the one in DC: Yes, we have a weird, fucked up configuration -- Menlo Park (CA) insists on managing our ISP, but I don't get the Florida angle.

Jesus.

I say you get whatever universal player you want and hack a digital input into it. Or build your own. I want to say Electrocompaniet had one, but I'm not finding it on their website. EDIT #2: I think I found another one (Marantz).

Happy (belated) Birthday!

Yeah, that's the holy grail, innit? I'm going with the Oppo BDP-95, myself. Not quite a digital input, but it will take a USB drive. Plus it has networking, I'm wondering if that can be used to read a NAS.

Nice. animated gif, please.

Nothing, but I'm hungry, I should go and eat something.

Actually, they're going a different route -- it's based on potato power and an interesting feature formerly known as the death grip.

Simon & Nick rule. I like how you warned us. Not an expletive, people! Thai Jennifer Lopez doesn't sound anything like Merkin Jennifer Lopez. But she at least looks like her. Thai Simon Cowell doesn't even look like him. Thai ...uh... Drew Carey?...

iPad 4 or 5 will be able to accumulate power from air.

Elitely. While admitting no defeat.

...yes, that's right, KLP-flavored gum.

The first thing you should do is upgrade the power supply on your X-CAN (called the X-PSU). Good luck with that, since it's so many generations old. Musical Fidelity currently has the V-Can, which, contrary to its nomenclature, is not 2 less than the X-Can. They also have the M1HPA. If you're interested in buying new, I'd go with the M1HPA. And yes, Pinkie (rock grotto) has some upgrades, including a DIY power supply, if you're handy with a soldering iron. Also, if you haven't yet, get an aftermarket upgrade cable for the HD600. I like Cardas, but pretty much anything is better than the stock cable. Also, (I probably should have asked this first), what do you mean by 'better'? Do you want more detail, more euphony, more accuracy, more bass, more rawk? What volume do you listen at? What kind of music? What's your favourite colour? <--Note British spelling.

That's a sort order I never thought of before...

Archer & the canceled Cape

I got the impression it was the Abkco releases, so should be the same as the SACD's, no?

I'm warming up leftovers in the microwave. Does that count as cooking?

I'm sure you'll be fine. They probably are throwing more people at you than they really need, in hopes that you will pare out the driftwood for them.
