changed the bugle boy to a mullard. changed channels but whiny noise remains even with the cables switched and unplugged. problem is either with power or within the amp itself. i dearly pray it isnt the 421a. all else is cheap and easily replaceable.

very nice knuckles and mike. congratulations all around.

you dont NEED a docking station. the apple cinema display has those nifty connectors where you can just plug it into the macbook pro/air (no charger needed for mb. and viola! dual monitors. i dont know what would be needed for laptop + 2 monitors or if it could even be done. but given how flexible laptops are these days you can certainly get away without one. i only really feel the need for a big ass usb dongle. usually have 5-6 quad drive bays plugged in at any time, plus a usb mouse and the emotiva dac via usb. other than that, i dont really use any other ports. vga out to my 21" lcd. quite like the set up.

i agree with shelly here. i find desktops increasingly cumbersome in the days of docking stations and dual monitors. so much nicer to be able to just unplug and take your crap everywhere you go without having to worry about file sync issues. big piss off for me back when i had a desktop was doing something at home and then not having access to it at school etc.

for the past 2 days ive noticed this really high pitched whiny noise coming out of the right channel. audible without music. with music i just know its there because the music doesnt have any notes that high. if i unplug the headphones and plug them back in, it goes away for like a minute but then comes back again. using 421a and amperex 12au7 (bugle boy). any thoughts?

and new balance just went straight to the top of the customer service list for me. i thought i was ordering one pair of shoes but in fact placed the order for the wrong pair. entirely my mistake. got the box a few minutes ago and called them to find out if there was anything i could do. the guy said no restocking fee (i had merely opened the box), sent me a free ups shipping label for the return and gave me a 20% discount (already expired now) on the pair that i actually wanted and offered free shipping on the new pair. definitely will be going back to them in the future. have a 15% off coupon with free shipping in case anyone wants its - must buy 2 pairs of shoes though. 1226's are mighty comfortable.

god damn. im sitting here in my office and just literally laughing out loud at the seal. great video but i too must second dustys thoughts.

lol @ usb ports need to shaved every few days. that reminds me i have to hack off my beard as well one of these days. it has grown too wild.

Saw it. Was very underwhelmed. Southland > new police stuff.

happy birthday sir.

i was referring to this. http://www.dvhardware.net/article40090.html read very fast. so might have misunderstood. however it does say 22 hours. dont know if that is with just a single battery or 2 of them.

kickass doc. did you get the newfangled 22 hour battery too? im curious if with actual use one can even squeeze out 12 hours of it. if so it would be perfect for me.

thanks guys. chris, were you an operations research guy or some sort of niche engineering major? i only ask because operations research is what i am planning on doing next and just found out that columbia has a "better" OR program than most other places barring cmu. as much as i would like to be back in cambridge, i am starting to realize that i have to grow up and assume my responsibilities as an adult fairly soon. as such, attending a school that offers better placement might be the smarter thing to do. then again i dont know anything about columbia. any insight would be much appreciated. depending on how the first year goes, i will either pick financial engineering or go towards modeling dynamical systems (i think this is what you do but i might be mistaken).

dinny i hate you. i was JUST about to post THAT VERY LINE. :< ps. get out of my head plox. kthxbai.

interesting tread. share some popcorn salty. stop hogging.

just got the most tersely worded rejection email from cmu. shitty day just got worse and took a giant dump on me. was really hoping i would get in there =/

new caps are otw. just got the wood case back from the guy i had asked to glue it and give it a clear coat. looks rather nice without the packing tape i must say on a side note, past few weeks i had been listening to the jh16s exclusively. just went back to the 650 after 3 weeks. jh16s seem so closed by comparison perhaps its just the new toy syndrome all over again. resolution is far better on the jh16s but the feeling of music not playing inside my head is not present. me likey. me likey very much.

what warranty do you mac folk have? apple care or go with the squaretrade?

jacob, jim and gene say glossy. good enough for me. its 50 bucks cheaper too so yeah. one fellow grad students laptop just died so i might be selling my thinkpad to him if he cant find a good deal in the next week. if that happens, ill order the 15" mbp right away. if not, i just have to wait until the 7th to place the order. thank you gents. ps. i feel dirty doing this - first an iphone. then mba for mom (now sister's). then ipad for mom. then mbp for dad and now mbp for me.

Tapatalk is doing exactly this for me. That or it doesn't show new threads for a week.

Any way you could find out what processor it is in particular so I know to avoid it for certain? pretty please good sir

Knuckles those were the two programs I read about. I figured I would go with a 15" Mbp. The resolution on the 13" makes me angry. It will weigh a bit more than my current thinkpad but not by much perhaps. the glossy screens seem to be reviewed very poorly in terms of usability so I guess I have to resort to paying for the premium anti glare option. If only amazon carried the confit I wanted with the anti glarescreens ordering from apple gives me a student discount which is then offset by the sales tax they charge. Also I miss free 2 day shipping from amazon. Going to call amazon tomorrow and see if they take special orders like these or maybe have a piece lying around doing nothing.

just ran into that option salty. thanks however. there are a few options available on newegg. shall start reading reviews to see which mates/runs best with these creatures. this is most disheartening. the native resolution on a 13" mbp is worse than on a 13" mba >< what the hell...
