  1. Todd's Philips is probably in your ballpark, and a big switch from the meridian
  2. Just for fun, try this experiment. Open the 24 bit recording in a sound editor, aligning the file so that the loudest point in the performance is at 0dB. Then convert it to 16bit with dither. See if you can tell the difference

  5. Sure, I can add that to my review
  6. Or don't have line of sight, which the aex makes easy . Putting the AEX away from the mac, means you could need to control a remote mac.
  7. Ok, using a radio shack spl meter and white noise, I level matched the duet headphone jack to the m3 headphone jack. Realizing that the m3 is balanced, using cinemag transformers to balance the inputs. The m3 has better bass control, better details, and is more "full". But the duet headphone jack is no slouch. And it's a LOT smaller. First few minutes of testing says duet is a nice portable solution (while nowhere near as portable as the pico ). Comparisons with the pico will begin when the package from california gets here. And of course, extended listening will happen with both, I just figured I'd post initial duet impressions.
  8. OMG this thing ROCKS. Drives the hf1s well, sounds great so far with the m3 as a speaker amp and headphone amp. I can't wait to give it the head to head with the pico.
  9. I haven't heard anyone complain about the volume when using line in, only from the dac. And even then, not everyone has a problem with it. If you don't already have a pico, give it a shot and see.
  10. It's set as low as it can go.

  12. Isn't it easier to code with a tablet? I know that's why my dad uses it. For coding, and for taking notes while making rounds. I'd ditch the p-m
  13. I wouldn't attempt old bay on popcorn. It's nasty enough on potato chips. Old bay on seafood. Salt on popcorn.
  14. Or a nokia 770 and signal My airport express will be for sale if I get the duet.
  15. Not in any kind of effective way. There is the option to password protect it with the airport extreme or time capsule, but I highly doubt it's secure. Also, it's fairly rare to have reasonable upstream bandwidth from home, so your listening experience will be lousy.
  16. The trick is that you'll either have your data out on the internet for anyone to access (and corrupt) or you can't access it. You could put a computer in the middle, but well, you don't have one . I'd suggest just having 2 hard drives that you mirror occassionally.
  17. That's my understanding. At least full cast and director. But nothing in imdb yet. Maybe it's just that they've agreed to do it now.
  18. eww
  19. Trainspotting 2 is in production apparently.
  20. My wife buys gourmet popcorn, like specific varietals and the like. But mostly I can't tell the difference. I just buy the largest kernels I can find, and pop them in olive oil. Coconut oil is better, but I'll be damned if I'm keeping that nasty stuff around. Then the real trick: super small salt grains. Popcorn or pickling salt.
