I guess Jerk Weight was taken?

Fake Steve has been all over the map recently, but today is just pure fucking gold.

Wow I'm thick. It took me about a minute to get that.

Yazoo -- Upstairs At Eric's Vinyl.

R-10s over JH-13s and take a picture please.

Just did. It sounds really good. Better than the 2004 DSD remaster. Great album! PS: I've been in that pub. It's still a fucking dump.

The dongle is a pisser. iLok is pretty much a rootkit, as I understand it, which doesn't exactly promote warm fuzzies.

Yup, that's probably the adoption point for me too.

Joe Jackson -- Body And Soul Vinyl

Wilco -- Wilco Vinyl.

Ayup.

I'd just tell them it doesn't read maybe 30-40% of your CDs. Given it's a known issue, I doubt they're going to test. And it's a quick swap.

Priorities dude!

I would get it fixed while you still have warranty coverage. Tell them you want a new optical drive.

More than four DACs in-house at a time is a venial sin, my son.

Peter Gabriel -- Security Vinyl

African or European swallow hardwoods?

Has there ever been a less impressively-named audio product than the Von Gaylord Chinchilla?

Congrats, didn't know you'd found a place!

Just one more six-pack ought to do it... LiveLeak.com - A little tipsy

Yeah, and isn't there even a faction that argues higher sample rates are actually a bad thing? Dan Lavry for one? I'd like to do some good needledrops at 24/96 and 24/192 and then have a careful listen for myself.

My understanding that USB audio device class 2 -- required for data rates higher than 24/96 -- is not currently supported under either Windows or Linux. So if you can't use the standard device interface, you have to write your own drivers.

Jim, I think you'll find setting up any kind of accurate jitter measurement apparatus and methodology will be a lot harder than it sounds. Unless you have $30,000 lying around for an AP-2722. John Atkinson neatly summarized the state of play earlier this year in Stereophile here. And here's a bit from Charles Hansen about interpreting the numbers produced by the tests commonly in use. And then there's this, which I've read several times and only succeeded in consistently making my head hurt. AES: Specifying The Jitter Performance Of Audio Components. Godspeed!

Oh come on! What are these things made out of, balsa?
