Well there are more and more rumblings all around about not using University equipment (computers) for non-University functions (music listening). So I plan to head off the whole issue by setting up another computer (personally purchased) to serve the music to my work rig (output to Apogee Mini-DAC). The question for you is should I buy a Mac Mini or a Dell Studio Hybrid? and more importantly, why? The unit needs to be small, OS is irrelevant, I'll use itunes on the Mini or J. River Media Center on the Studio, the library will be on an external drive (most likely directly connected), I have my library in both FLAC and ALAC, it will be for playback only, it doesn't have to do anything else. Right now I am undecided as each has its benefits and price is roughly the same for comparable models. I think I have a pretty good handle on the strengths and weaknesses of each, but I'm sure I'm missing some.

I don't know about the K 702 but the K 701 benefits from a dual entry recable as well as moar power. The GSX/recabled K 701 make a good combo. Not as nice a midrange compared to the K340 but better treble clarity and bass control (both balanced).

I would also be careful about sending the money too quickly once you get the tracking info. Mikhail played fast and loose with tracking info a couple of times before he actually shipped my ES-1.

Neil Diamond - Home Before Dark Surprisingly good.

Not from where I'm sitting. Head-Case is useful, entertaining and unique. Take that where you will ... and I have met you

Ry Cooder - I, Flathead

Grace Slick FTW

There's a cost to working with Satan?

Well I have to disagree. If Head-Case were a person, it would be you. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

King Crimson - Larks Tongues in Aspic

Nick Drake - Pink Moon

Jefferson Starship - Red Octopus

Lou Reed/John Cale - Songs for Drella

Buddy Guy - Sweet Tea

It's likely the vote will come out for middle to late March.

Happy Head-Case Birthday

Can't we all just get along?
