Pelican - What We All Come to Need Saw a poster at my local music store today, some how I'd completely missed this.

Location: The entrance to the Chicago Cultural Center [Washington and Michigan Ave] ... The plaque reads .... " In 1999 a heard of fiberglass cows united citizens., visitors, artists, businesses through a unique community based public art event. The bronze cow is a gift to all Chicagoans in gratitude for the support of the cows and other art in public places. A gift to the city of Chicago from the Hanig family and anonymous donors. November, 2001. Bronze Cow cast at Wagner Foundary, Inc., Chicago, IL. " Taken from - Public Art in Chicago: Bronze Cow

The Guess Who

I read their About and FAQ sections, I like these guys a lot. I'd mark them down as the first interesting amp manufacturer that I can think of in a long time.

If you spread the crap out it might not be super crappy.

Apple apologizes for iPhone 4 ordering fiasco - Computerworld AT&T suspends sales to fulfill current orders Reason #438 why Apple should kick AT&T to the curb.

Very limited or flat-out no warranty is usually the reasoning.

^^^ woot! She's all packed up and ready to go!

My opinion, having not heard it but built and listened to several amps like it, is that if you have Senns (300ohm) it'll sound very good. Otherwise its high output impedance (120ohm) could be very hit or miss. Still, I bet it would be a fun cheap build.

International rumors are already flying about the delivery date getting pushed to July 10th.

Yes Mike, they have the hall booked for some time in late June, I can't remember the exact dates now.

It's marginally better than the 3GS, if you're due for an upgrade and don't mind being AT&T's bitch for the next two years or are willing to pay the unsubsidized price (if they even offer it that way right now) then go for it. Otherwise it holds little appeal to me, nice screen and all. Every app is going to have to be re-written yet again for the new resolution so early adoption doesn't seem all that sweet. One more point - the true conspiracy theorist are noting that Apple once again has the Moscone Center booked for late April, just a few days after the '4' ships. The running theory is that Apple's last gesture to AT&T was to give them the '4' exclusively to start but that at the end of the month after the early adopters have jumped on the train they are going to finally announce the iPhone on other carriers. I'm not sure I buy that, but it's fun to think about.

The Education discount will knock $50 off. I'm hoping that the supply side of the iPad equation will be dealt with prior to fall and that Apple will do a back to school promo involving it. That might be enough to tempt me...

Breaking bad was simply too painful for me to watch as a new dad. Once they found out his wife was pregnant in season one I had to stop.

I'd be most concerned with the max level of attenuation, graduation of steps (if applicable) and channel matching at the highest levels of attenuation.

I should have expanded my explanation: If the requirement is to be able to work with anything from the HF-1 to the K340 you're going to need switchable gain which while technically possible on the beta or dynahi is not really practical. I'd setup a balanced M

I'm with Dan on this, if you already live in a hot place I'd hesitate to build a space heater of a headphone amp and both are on the warmer side of things.

Heh, in a simple twist of fate I just happened to check this thread for the first time in a long time. Thanks V.

Nice pics, Gene.

We've been pretty happy with our '07 Camry although the gas mileage has never quite been as good as it should have be. It also absolutely requires snow tires, but I'd say that about most 2wd cars. If I had it to do over again I would have spent a bit more and got the Camry Hybrid. I'll always hate Honda for the new Civic they came out with in '07 which was vastly inferior compared to the predecessor.

I'd think in this economy that you could do quite well shopping used and maybe even new depending on what your budget is.
