Saturday and Sunday.

I guess I ned to take the advanced course from Jeff that includes how to do head control via the telephone.

The best thing may be to call the hotel directly. Because of the time difference, PM me the dates you are interested in and what room type you are interested in and I will check into it for you. There is an option for a rollaway bed also. Same advice as above. Call the hotel directly and have them modify it for you. Call during normal business hours so that if the person on duty is clueless you can ask to speak with Alissa Robinson. She is our designated representative and should be able to handle it. If worse comes to worse you can simply cancel and start from scratch. I see no problem with our room block filling up any time soon.

Check in is fixed. I used the web portal in post #1 on the HF thread to book my room with check-in on Wednesday and Check-out on Sunday and received the discounted room rate for all nights. It does appear we may be limited to King only rooms but you can request a roll-away bed. If you really need/want two double beds I would suggest calling the hotel directly and mention you are with the Head-Fi group. If anybody needs additional help changing any already booked reservations, let me know.

As long as you have headphones for him to "wear" everything will be fine.

Al hit the nail on the head. By my last count we weren't even 1/3 of the way to the # of room nights we have to guarantee them so it is a definite screw up. I would suggest everyone just put it on hold for right now as I will talk to our representative tomorrow. I will update this thread and also send out PM's to anyone who contacted me that way once it is resolved. Since none of the local committee have reserved their rooms yet we will get it resolved

Nope, not normal. Something is definitely amiss as we have it in our contract that HF pricing extends three days before (Tuesday Night 6/1) and three days after (Tuesday Night 6/8) so I will be letting them know. Did anyone try calling and have problems or was this all via Da Web?

I will check into the Thursday issue. We should be nowhere near selling out unless there was a huge New Years rush on the rooms. If anyone else has/had rate issues send me a PM and I will get it straightened out.

Fair enough. I am not really familiar with those amps so that is why I asked.

^^THIS.^^ If you haven't cut a hole in the plastic "grill" I have a pretty good guess about what that may be. Do you think this might be because it is rolling off the high end?

That lens has some nice IS as those pictures are very clear and sharp for handheld pictures. That is not something that can be effectively increased later. And just for the record, I was not referring to testicles.

Very nice Mike. Are those handheld?

The man knows of what he speaks.

A very happy birthday to you sir. :jbl:

I would also recommend the Blue Jeans Cables. I use their standard LC-1 in 35 ft length and it has worked fine for almost three years now. Just call them up if you need connectors not on their order page.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see the EF5 as being anything special. That being said, I thought the HE-5 sounded very good out of both the Zana and BA back in November. But it was at a meet and I did not even attempt any serious listening.

I would suggest you use the newest version of dbpoweramp for ripping and/or transcoding. If you have a multicore machine it will use the multiple cores for a nice speed increase. It also uses accuraterip so it will give you a bitperfect copy as quickly as possible. The newest version also works great for album art and metadata. You have a choice of sources and if you do not like the album art from those sources it is now very easy to add in any art work you want at the time of ripping. It is not free however, but well worth the cost, especially when you are starting a big project. There is no real advantage to using itunes with squeezecenter but there is no real disadvantage if you have nothing against using ALAC (apple lossless). With any of the current firmware revisions on the squeezbox family there is no longer any advantage to using FLAC over ALAC. If you already use itunes at all, then there is an advantage if you want one consolidated library.

Unless you are getting a 10 year warranty I do not think warranty considerations are really significant, even for the "no longer" GM divisions. Also in that case the vibe may be a better bet as significant parts should not be a problem as long as Toyota is still around.

I have had no problems using them on NAS servers as they are essentially "internal" server drives.

Brent Doucheburger is a loser and has been ever since he was announcing high school football in Chicago.

First confirmed vendor is Woo Audio. Jack seems pretty psyched for it as he wanted a whole room.

I compared the then current Nikon and Canon back in 2005 and the Canon consistently focused faster, had less shutter lag, and was simply easier to shoot with. My camera was a D200 and the Canon was a comparable model but I cannot remember which actual model it was, so if my memory is faulty it could at least partially due to the camera being better. Both were (are?) very good lenses but the Canon seemed better to me. Regardless, my main need is the flattest field macro I can obtain for reasonable $ and a versatile flash system, so I'm sticking with Nikon.

Yeah they are pretty much the coolest lizard still here

The base model is supposed to be at Sweetwater next week so I guess we will know by then.
