I thought you liked Zoltan? He was just being personable and he didn't shout.

Happy Birthday Reksy, old man !!!

x3 (at least)

Hippity Hoppity Birthday, Aardvark. I hope you finally get that ant

I cannot agree with Nate more about building a raised floor. In addition to the advantages Nate lists, it will be important to add a vapor barrier since the floor is concrete. Our "home theater" is our family room. Having the crawl space beneath is handy (as is the attic space), but everytime I'm under there I wish I had more easily accessible runs under the floor. Whether you decide to go with a raised floor, a good vapor barrier is essential. You may also want to build a riser for the front area, that can be filled with sand for speaker isolation. Lastly, start thinking abou how you are going to store the electronics. I use a small closet at the back of the room that is fitted with a mid-atlantic equipment rack. Last thing, depending upon location relative to other rooms and how noisy it is outside, think about soundproofing. There is higher soundproofing gypsum board as well as things like Quiet Barrier, Ultra Barrier and the Iso-Trax system. There is some good general advice HERE, especially the ones from the Corey Greenburg hosted segments (DHTW) on building your own home theater. If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me, as the home theater is a work in progress and I have lots of mistakes under my belt to share.

Well I'm a little late to the party, but that is one nice looking amp. I would say it was the best thing I've seen on H-C in a while, except the picture of Lilly puts it to shame. . Happy Holidays to you Mr. Round Hole Cutter Tech and the family.

Opened up my exchange gift from Reksy (after making sure it didn't smell like rotting flesh) ... I love these exchanges. I would have never picked this up and its great

Wrapped stuff, put stuff together, hooked stuff up, went out and bought D-cell batteries (12:30 AM), finished hooking stuff up, had a martini, put more stuff together (somehow it seemed to take longer ), went to bed, woke up 4 hours later, unwrapped presents, put more stuff together, ate breakfast, hooked up some more stuff, took a break.

Bonne f

Check into diet changes too, a little harder with cats than humans, but not impossible depending upon severity. Ouch for you and your son.

I own an ES-1 and I like it. I owned an RSA Stealth and SR-71 and liked them both. I sold an original Hornet and then bought another one. I cannot hear any difference between CD, WAV, FLAC and ALAC (when all other variables are carefully controlled). I care how my gear looks as well as how it sounds. I am a gear whore. Please forgive these sins, both venial and mortal, most holy postjack

Happy Birthday, Ken ...

Well I couldn't let Mike be the only domestic diva so ...

I agree that 12" is starting to get too big for portability. The 10" Asus has become my go to laptop. The 13" touchscreen is very, very lonely.

I always suspected you were a domestic diva

Yep. I was in Columbus, Ohio attending the Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference. I felt like a zoo keeper as it was me and 9 graduate students. Not a bad trip but since last week was finals week and grades are due by 5:00 PM Monday, it made for a hectic few days. Anyway, I did receive a package from Amazon when I returned. Since, I had not ordered anything I assume it was your exchange item, so I wrapped up the box and placed it under the tree, amongst all the power ranger gifts. Thanks in advance and another will be forthcoming once the package is opened.

Because .... just bought these.

Oops I missed this. Glad it arrived safely. Good timing on my package as I'm in Columbus until tomorrow.

Ahh.. the perfect daft punk ... not even made yet. I can't wait.

Well I sent mine off today. I really hope Jacob doesn't have the daft punk retrospective collection. At least I know he doesn't have a rig to trully appreciate music of that caliber, so I know he will appreciate the boosteroo and V600's that were also sent along.
