Jes 'magine whut 'em hillbillies done done 'pon it.

Morphine -- Good

Moshi USB/Firewire hub.

Stereolab -- Peng

Only one way to test my theory. I assume you keep some gas in the basement, for medicinal purposes?

Totally did not see that coming.

Yes. Getting run over by one's own bandwagon could be a painful experience. No personal offense meant, by the way. I look forward to meeting you and hearing some of the Audio-gd gear at CanJam and am quite willing to believe it's an absolute steal for what they're charging. The fervor over on HF has reached quasi-religious levels, though, so it's probably about time for the first schism!

You'd have to immolate yourself in the process to receive truly universal acclaim.

Man, that thread has some rabid fanboy display goin' on. Every time I open it I get little flecks of spittle on the inside of my monitor screen. For a moment there, I thought the followers were going to turn on the original disciple for daring to suggest that improvements might be possible to the Ref 1 design. It's all reminiscent of the bit with the holy relics from Life Of Brian --"The gourd! The gourd!" "No, follow the sandal!"

Definitely rates a link in this thread. Tannoymania apparently knows no bounds! AudiogoN ForSale: Tannoy Westminster Royal I'll assume he had many of us at "Giant Stax Headphones".

Depeche Mode -- Violator

'Til Tuesday -- Everything's Different Now

He lives!

Computer audio may be relatively new territory, but it's certainly already proving fertile ground for the sprouting of the familiar old shoots of audiophile lunacy. I was just reading a thread over on Audio Asylum where some guy was proudly reviewing his new semi-custom $1,000+ USB cable which purports to spin silk into gold by omitting both the VBUS and ground lines.

Peter Gabriel -- Plays Live

Sorry Doug.

Tears For Fears -- Raoul And The Kings Of Spain

Mine's smaller than yours. Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah. Think these'll get lost at all?

It's not online yet. And the digital edition I get is in one of those flash format readers, so there's no way to simply post it here. What are you most interested in, the measurements? TBH, I stopped reading the subjective impressions after the reviewer blithely claimed in passing that he could hear distinct differences between the same tracks ripped to different lossless formats.

June Stereophile has a fairly enthusiastic review of the Wavelength Cosecant, with the sidebar that John Atkinson measured the jitter performance as the lowest he'd ever seen on any USB interface. So I guess the particular asynch implementation that Wavelength and Ayre are both using does appear to do more or less what it says on the box. Interesting to compare with the CA DacMagic, which they also liked on all other inputs but USB.

My wife was probably behind the outage. She may have failed this time, but she'll be back!

Wonder if they could add pre-outs for a small consideration?

Greek yoghurt with fresh blueberries. Mmmm.
