No, I meant, what kind of Jeep is it (one of their models is a Compass).

No, I really don't know. Didn't mean to be mean, it's more a reflection of my ignorance and/or lack of reading comprehension if you've mentioned it already. If it's any consolation, the end pic did look pretty sweet.

What is that, a Compass?

I think the SDS-XLR is essentially two SDS's. The Maestro is something different, although you can also get that in -XLR configuration. Don't ask me what the difference is, though. This might help, though. Then again, it may just overload your circuits.

Yeah, the Beta is great, I intend to have one some day. When Stephen let me listen to his (6 board version, but I don't remember if it was maxed out with black gates or not) -- using the EMM Labs single box player and W3000's in 4-connector mode, I felt like I was listening to the CD -- not the headphones, not the amp, not the source, but mainlining on the source material.

Planars, huh? Good luck with that (it is my understanding that those need room).

You should probably also go through this list some.

I think the only part of the process that entails the cat is the Kopi Luwak portion. Therefore, only IEM's and buds. Until she gets a bigger cat.

Jesus, people buying high-end speakers and amps and headphones. I think the last pair of shoes I bought were $12, and the last non-shoes purchase was some $2.99 Corningware uber-mugs. Hey, boom -- you wanna outsource your non-soldering and breaking things to me some? I work cheap for you.

Well, yeah, the whole point is professional level control. link

I forgot about the need for balanced, I don't think it does balanced... ...but the M904 acts as a speaker configurator, and essentially has a M902 built-in, I wonder if the balanced outs will drive balanced headphones? They probably will.

Yeah, that's true about most of the ones with the built-in DACs. I have to admit, I don't remember if I was listening to the internal DAC or not. But it deserves to be on the list -- it easily outshines several entries there.

Wow. That was, like, lucid, and I even agreed with most if not all of it. Just wow.

I just remembered another one that no-one's mentioned yet -- the Grace M902. Has a built-in DAC, including USB.

Yes, I have the page saved. The hard part (to play devil's advocate) would be to prove that I did not change it. I have a hypothetical question for y'all. This is obviously a no-win situation for Jena Labs. My question is, what is the absolutely best thing she can do at this point? My take on this is, she should admit guilt, refund his money, and go out of business (I.E. of the current jobs, offer any back to anyone who wants their work left alone, finish the rest, and stop taking on any more new jobs). I guess you can see why she'd be hesitant to do that. But really, she should start looking for other work. Also, what's the grapevine on Jena Labs relationship with Head-Fi -- is this another company that is "in bed" with Jude, like RSA? I'm only asking this because I'd like to know what sort of actions we should expect from Head-Fi -- so far, they've been pretty good about leaving the thread alone, neh? Welcome to head-case!

Jesus, man, when you fall off the wagon, you fall hard.

Uh oh, what did you take them out of?

Nice, that took, what? All of 13, 14 minutes?

I'm going to lock the thread just to spite you. You gave us, what? 33 minutes and 27 seconds to help you.

I've seen Transformers, which one was she, the mom? (wanders off, looks it up) Wait, she was the girl?!?!? She's not the hottest...well, that scene with her working on the car was pretty hot, but...meh...FHM must be run by a bunch of 18-year-olds or dirty old men.

This is how out of touch I am: Megan Fox tops FHM's Sexiest Women list, and I've never heard of her before now. Hey, where is that sparta5.gif from, whatever movie that is looks familiar.

That's because you haven't had to deal with him for more than all of three minutes. TODD!!! JACOB!!! I thought we were going to get rid of this guy!!!1!

Yeah, capacitors will do that.

Please...tell us more about this denial you are in. No, seriously, you can't preach it both ways -- you sound like on the one hand, you want to believe the opposite of what happened, but then you're also telling us to "wait and see" until we hear both sides of the story.

He's such a dufus. Earl's right -- Singlepower amps (the ones that I've heard, anyway) do not have the stereotypical "tubey" sound -- that's what makes them special. For that, he'd want a Wheatfield or a HAP-03 (either Radii or Moretto, one was just a clone of the other, I forget which was which). Or a Xiang Sheng, that's nice and tubey.
