I was unable to attend Chiunifi-2 as I am a most excellent procrastinator. I was still working on my poster presentation on that Saturday for the meeting I was flying to on Sunday. I was going to send the shirts up with someone else, but nobody is really close to Charleston. @Aura - Black/Orange it is

Actually Terre Haute is more like west-central Indiana and it is convenient to Charleston, IL, but then again Charleston is not the center of the universe either.

OK, a special deal for head-casers attending Yes, We Cans 2009. I have some Head-Case tee shirts in the following colors (Shirt/Lettering - # Shirts) Gray/Black - 1 White/Black - 2 Black/Purple - 2 Black/Orange - 2 Black/Black -1 (Dusty Chalk Approved) Please post your color preferences in this thread. The cost is your attendance at the meet (i.e. you have to pick up the shirt from me at the meet). Carry On.

Happy Birthday oh Keeper of the Ingwe

I've been using my latest Braun for almost 10 years. It works like a charm, is reliable and blade/head changes are easy. The cleaning works great, I do not clean it after every shave, but more like once every two weeks or so. I simply loosen the head and turn it on to remove loose hairs after every shave. I go through maybe 4 cleaning refills a year, not really a significant expense compared to my audio related expenses. I do change the blade/head every year, but that is shaving every day.

Yep, my plan is to relocate it into a case that matches the PSU so there will be no more little jokes ...

I liked it a lot when I last listened to it a lot, which was back in 2003. Then we moved and I lost it for a "while". I rediscovered it a few months ago but it had a bad headphone jack and had to be repaired. Plus I never discovered its original power supply. Any way, it sounds good now but that is with minimal listening time. I will be comparing it to the desktop portable which I do like, so we will see. I'm also bringing it to the meet this weekend so it will be interesting to see what others think.

Well it runs in Class A and can put out about 1 watt, so a PSU with Chuck sized balls is not a bad idea. You definitely don't want to have any exposed flesh come into contact with that case after a few minutes of being turned on.

No plum, just a reflection.

And that is only at 1/∞ Chuck power (Its actually not that bright in person, but when you take a picture of a predominantly black object in a relatively dark room ...)

Actually, there are two things that are half new. The first is my repaired AA V.1.0 and its new "Chuck-69" PSU. Thank you very much Pars. The second is the rack I constructed for the upcoming meet. The shelves are newly cut from birch plywood but the legs are repurposed from a full size Sanus rack.

Thanks for allowing me to wish you a happy birthday Chuck.

I have one of these lying around gathering dust as I went n a while back and the increased range negated my need for it. I can send it on to you if you want to give it a try. Let me know.

Dan always beats me to it.

Just Like Chuck.

If Chuck Norris were an amp, Chuck Norris would be a BHSE!!

Well it sounds like there may be a problem with your amp, your power or the sensitivity of your hearing. Ever notice any annoying clicks when you are out and about in the summertime at night?

Baguettes = good bread

They're not the best thing since baguettes.

So what headphones do you notice the hiss and is it the same across those phones?

Since this is the second time in recent history you have mentioned fairly audible background hiss (previously the Shanling) methinks you should search out some other component(s) in the chain or on the circuit.

I'm using the previous generation Mac Mini with the slower processor, 1Gb Ram and the 80Gb HD. It is more than fast enough and I have noticed absolutely nothing that would indicate any need to upgrade anything except for perhaps the shitty monitor I'm using because I was trying to do this as cheaply as possible.

Happy drinking fella's (Only because I know the queen will not be partaking)
