No idea. I did see that Justin said over on HF that the GLite is done and no replacement is planned. Suspect that as he adds more portables to his line, he's going to cull more desktop amps.

You're on tonight, Reks.

Schlepped een? I have never heard of this.

Stellastarr* -- Civilized Have liked these guys since first seeing them in 2003. My wife still asks me to put "that co-co-co song" onto just about every workout mix on her iPod. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5PNLbiIAIc

Neil Clark -- Sundogs

Ask me about my tiny image size?

Aren't the abilities to score well with either mutually exclusive?

You're a douche. I just wasted beer by spitting it on my keyboard.

Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros -- Streetcore I love this album.

Two pounds of butter? Fuck yeah.

Lightly used Nitty Gritty 1.5.

That's not entirely uncommon in these parts. Don't worry about it and good luck with the DAC. If it upholds the same price/quality ratio as the other EE gear I'm sure it will do well in the market.

There's certainly reason for caution, given the history of Rev. 1 products. On the other hand, I've had three iMacs -- G4 (lamp), G5 and now 24" Intel -- that were all first run and none of which had any hardware issues. Of course, after typing that, my screen will immediately catch fire. I love the new 27-inchers and want one, but also hope my current machine will go another 18 months or so, as I think all the new models are really missing is USB 3.0 and wonder if the next turn will bring that.

Breakfast Of Champions?

The main thing seems to be slow Flash performance, which is unlikely to be a hardware issue. 32-bit Flash and 64-bit OS X really don't get along.

You sure we don't live on the same street? Was a lot of fun here, too. And the rain held off just long enough. Wife's finishing the candy, I'm finishing the beer. To each their own.

You're Stephen A. Cohen? Lend me some money!

This way lies madness.

If it doesn't work for you, let me know. I'll give it a shot.

Any love for Benz here? I have a rather played-out older Ace that came with the table and was thinking about trading it in. Opinions seem to be divided as to whether it's worth moving modestly up the line (Glider or Wood) or just getting a new Ace S.

I should have bought that Bloom.

Still agreeing with you. Still equally as irrelevant in a Stax thread.

Totally agree. Especially if your product is Mac only. iTunes runs like shit on Windows, so I could see the utility having a separate playback interface there.

True. I probably shouldn't have casually termed it an "Amarra killer" as that's lazily inflammatory and I really don't think this program is intended to have anything like the breadth of features that full Amarra does. The (provisional?) name seems like a pretty good clue to the functionality, it's a playback engine. That said, I do think if people feel it improves their sonics on a similar level, Amarra Mini will have a tough row to hoe, particularly if PE supports 24/192, which I bet it will. It could also be cheaper, prettier and lighter. And if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle, right?

That's pretty useful if you like to rip vinyl at higher rates, but also occasionally want to burn CDs from those files. A nice feature to have. I don't see that they added the Amarra Vinyl functions they've been talking about to the full 1.1 version? Thought that was supposed to be included? Quite curious to see how it will work. If it takes a lot of the "post-processing" grind out of the needle drop process, it will be fine thing indeed! Digger -- I think all the Wave Editor stuff is integrated with Core Audio on the Mac, so I can't see it running on any other platforms.
