What are you EATING right now?
Chili made from scratch, starting with dried peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, a chuck roast, beer, and lots and lots of cook time. Wasn't bad.

Going rate for RS-1...
Probably. They were a lot like yours. Goofy beyer headband, cpads that left tacky residue on the cups, dings galore. Got them from an administrator on this board . I may have paid a little more than 700, it's been a long while. But I couldn't resell them later, so I had them made into ps3000s.

They were in awful shape.

I've seen ps1s sell for everything between $700 (what I paid) and $2400 (JG2s, on ebay). I'd guess $1800-2200 for true unopened ps1s. But I'm also guessing yours aren't really NOS, but instead, lightly used.

Xin portable amps
There's another option when you live in the middle of nowhere. You buy the things you're interested in hearing used. I went through a TON of gear while I was living in alaska. You have to pay attention to the various forsale sites, but when stuff comes up at a great price, jump on it. Then you can often resell for enough to cover your expenses, and if not, think of the difference as a rental fee. This is a lot more useful than meet time. Enough more useful, that I mostly look at meets as a place to hang out with people and get ideas.

How long 'til the 'fi is operating normally again?
I guess I'm not in my right mind. I wipe servers for upgrades with some regularity. I back up the stuff I will need, and wipe.

How long 'til the 'fi is operating normally again?
The impression I get is that the nas device was just used to back up the servers, but they were in the process of rebuilding headfi in a clustered environment, so they'd probably wiped the servers. Then the nas had problems, causing a world of poop.

Cheap DVD Player advice needed.
I use my mac mini for everything except sacd and dvda at this point. I just need a better switch than the one I have right now. One day I'll spend money again, and get a good hdmi 1.3 capable pre.

My Sprint PPC-6700 Phone is kaput.
I have a Q, and I'm not a big fan. But it'll do for now. And I pay $35 a month for unlimited data and 1200 minutes. So no complaints there.

What do you think of "markl Mod for Denon AH-D5000" thread?
That's easy, because someone on headfi said you should.

Nice looking place. This one is supposed to be a gothic novel, and I figured wtf. Anyway, $50, signed. I'm too big a book collector whore to pass that up

Signed limited The Shadow of the Wind, by Stephen King, who knows when it'll be published, but for $50 for a signed stephen king, I can wait.

When do you consider an amp "high end"
So in other words, by your definition, anything made by an individual can't be high end, regardless of how it looks or how it performs. Got it. You're a blowhard windbag. The rest of us will continue to discuss things using definitions we prefer. Because in the end, sound is what matters. Not what you want to brag to your friends about. Because honestly, I don't tell people what I spend on audio gear, not because they won't appreciate it, but because my finances are my business. And everyone who's ever listened to my gear, be it the ugly ass mpx3 toaster I used to have (commercial product, ugly ass, high end), or the great looking and sounding tooleaudio balanced mosfet amplifier (built by colin, so effectively DIY, m3, certainly noncommercial, high end), or my veda audio dynahi...and with my hp1s, rs1s, hhf1s (diyish again), ps3000s (again, diyish), or grado 225s...they've always been nothing less than blown away. Because of how it looks? No, because it sounds better than they'd experienced before. High end in my book is synonymous with "a darn sight better than the typical person will ever experience". And I could care less if any of it ever had a brand name or bling to make other people approve.
