With shipping it was right around $100. It is the MAC edition and I wanted something with at least a minimal integrated track pad. Now all I have to do is buy the MAC Mini to use it with.

^^^ This over a time period of months is generally what I find necessary to be able to judge how a new piece of gear fits into the system.

Concerning the xcans my comments are for when it is driving the harder-to-drive headphones which is where a properly damped LCD-1 falls. Subjectively, my LCD-1 is harder to drive after I added some additional damping in the cups. Also, my listening impressions on the newest version are pretty limited but nothing I heard leads me to believe its performance has changed to any great degree. I will be happy if I'm shown to be wrong in this regard as I have always liked the tonality of the xcans.

The xcan (all versions) is a pretty mediocre headphone amp. It does OK but in many cases it cannot give that full amplification across the frequency spectrum that the good amps deliver.

^^ Yep what he said. I was having all kind of freezes and drop outs using the wireless built into my DSL modem/router. Replaced that about a year ago and the wireless has been superb.

Welcome back. Glad your trip was safe even if slightly FUBAR.

We want your bread recipes.

We had an inspection on our current house and I'm still being driven crazy by some of the stupid shit the former owners considered "upgrades".

^^This and this (but especially the congrats and really, really sorry about your wallet). Also if you know anyone in the construction business take them along as they can help spot things you may not have even thought about.

Sure if this is the look you're going for

They were just dressed up like cops, and other manly professions.

The real question is do you tuck it in before you put it to sleep?

Yeah just bustin your chops a bit. There is actually a lot of interesting info in your posts but me thinks your mainly preaching to the choir here. oh, and subscribed

I can only be objective up to the 9345th hour, after that I become an audiphile fop.

Happy Birthday young sir.

Happy Birthday to you young sir.

Heh. Now I have to look for a job in Patagonia or Antarctica.

Yeah, it is actually quite a good department. They already have a nice center for ecotoxicology and they are planning to develop a biostatistics/epidemiology program.

Win 7 out of the box on a tablet is pretty underwhelming. My tablet is a couple of years old though.

My Apple case and dock keyboard were just delivered. Now all I need is my iPad.

Well yesterday we found out that the wife will have an interview at Arkansas State for a position as head of the biology department. Hmm, could be nice living less than an hour away from Memphis. At a minimum should allow for some additional funds flowing into the family coffers.
