Happy New Year and Happy New Decade.

Don't underestimate the value of that magnesium body, especially if you are going to use the camera in less than benign conditions.

Now that is an awesome sales pitch.

You are not alone.

Yep, all of their amps are digital only. They have an analog connection board which is an ADC unit. The S2150 is a damn good amp, just ask Aura.

Happy belated birthday to you.

Happy Birthday Jacob. Hope you get one of these for those times when moar stealth is needed.

Tongue sandwiches with beet horseradish was a staple when I was growing up.

The Cooter and slider had the texture of chicken or turkey, the snapping turtle and iguana were more like pork and the closest thing to the bull snake was probably veal but a little firmer. The iguana was great as it was slow roasted on a spit over coals.

Well not really bizarre, but I have made it a point to eat any wild caught food that has come my way: Things not mentioned here yet: Amphibia: Tiger Salamander Reptilia: Cooter, Yellow bellied Slider, Snapping Turtle, Bull Snake, and Iguana Aves: Mourning Dove, Duck Blood (in Soup) Mammalia: White-tailed and Mule Deer, Pronghorn, Moose, Caribou, Musk-Ox, Walrus, Raccoon, all three North American bears, Castor canadensis (to alleviate ) and Agouti. The only thing I did not really care for was the raccoon.

Just Wow! I am sorry you had to go through that. Thanks for the heads-up. I think they may have just hired a new person to head their service division and their first name begins with Mikhail and their last name begins with Rotenberg.

Well I do not really consider myself part of the Stax mafia but the HE-90 is simply colored the wrong way for my tastes and the HE-60 is simply colored less. Both are clearly inferior to the Omega. Hmmm, that is interesting. I was going to send my pair in to Sennheiser when I get my HEV-70 back. I may have to come up with a plan B now.

Yep. An Omega and an Omega II Mk. I. Overall, the Omega is my favorite Stat, though I always worry about its construction. Technically, the Omega II is better but I just like the sound of the Omega better for most of the music I listen to.

HE60 > HD800 > HE90; I've heard them all but only own the HE60. I think the HD650 and HD600 are different enough from the others to not be part of the rating. I prefer the HD650 to the HD600, but only by a little. Owned them both, only own the HD650 now.

And of those, the ones below 1500 absolutely kick-ass-and-take-names.

Just seems kind of pointless to have to diddle around with the order you chain them in when you have other open ports.

But what is the point loading down a single firewire port when you have open USB ports? Speed should not be an issue if you are using it only to store audio.

Recabling direct to each driver will make a much larger difference in the sound than the serial number will make. I also agree with the comparison of the K701 and K340 especially regarding the midrange.

Yep, hence the careful use of the weasel-word "seems" by me

Interesting, I wonder if it is the ALAC decoder in iTunes. Using ALAC in windows I seem to notice a difference between J. River MediaCenter vs. iTunes. I think I need to do a little test ...
