I think you saw whatever you wanted to see in my post and ran with it. All I said was, the boards are going to be expensive, it's unlikely there will be extras kicking around. I didn't make any statements or judgments about your planned or previous builds, didn't say you shouldn't try to see how inexpensively it could be built or otherwise. So how about you knock off whatever chip there is on your shoulder about this and get over it? I hope you build it, I hope you use whatever parts that you want to do so, lord knows a large percentage of my builds are not of the "let's see how much I can spend on this" variety so odds are it'll be pretty interesting to me.

I may be just a bit in love... Not bad for a 60 year old piece of military equipment After about a half hour of cleaning the face plate actually looks damn good, still more dirt to remove (it made rag after rag dirty) but way better than expected. My tester guy does mechanical restoration on the units but not aesthetic so in the pictures it looked a lot worse. April 1945 (going to try and research this a bit more) More importantly I tested a couple of 6SN7s with it and it works great. I need an accessory cable to get started testing the 307As but that should be here in a matter of days.

M-AUDIO - ProFire 610 - High-Definition 6-in/10-out FireWire Audio Interface with Octane Preamp Technology I can't find anything USB based (I didn't scour the web though) that could do higher than 24/96.

Uh, extra boards? Given that the boards for this will cost more than your dynamight it seems unlikely that there would be extras just floating around.

Nah, Lily is home, I'm plenty entertained.

No doubt! Almost time for coat #2.

They are old/vintage speaker plugs. Bang & Olufsen B&O S-75 Burned Speaker Crossovers

Damn, 64GB Touch.

Home sharing sounds pretty decent too. Makes me want a mac mini for the living room even more.

Went to bed last night feeling relatively crappy. Woke up feeling only slightly better, decided that 9/9/09 made a good day not to go into the office. Had some coffee, a donut, felt a little better, good enough to play around in the wood shop. Just put the first coat of semi-gloss lacquer on a project.

I'm sure it will all come down to the actual language in the contract, which none of us will ever lay eyes on. My guess is that if they were able to get the police involved the evidence on their side must have been pretty compelling.

happy birthday!

I thought they were talking about you, the name fits, don't it?

Pretty sure that the text is just photoshopped in there.

I'm thinking about something like this, specifically for why I'd look at floor standers. Paradigm Reference Studio 60 - eBay (item 230375319075 end time Sep-10-09 08:56:21 PDT) I forgot to add to my previous post that my advice for any college student would be to make sure that whatever it is that you buy you don't mind getting a scuff or two, water ring or whatever. It's an apartment, shit happens, buy the good stuff later in life when there's at least a chance that you'll have better control over the environment. and this is exactly what I have in my HT rig, they are very musical. I searched quite a while before deciding on them (8 years ago or so) and have never been disappointed. http://cgi.ebay.com/PARADIGM-MONITOR-7-SPEAKERS-Vs-2-TOWERS_W0QQitemZ320421534021QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4a9a9c9945&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Didn't gmail have some huge crash last week? I wonder if there are still ghosts in the machine?

I know you say you're looking for monitors but why? Because you have to move them every once in a while? Moving monitors and stands will be every bit as much hassle as a single tower would be and I think in terms of bang for buck and good sound you might be limiting yourself arbitrarily. Given your budget there should be a ton of good choices for floor standers and well, you wouldn't have to worry about stands.

First and only warning. Don't go around bumping old threads with your 2

My 2

Wut?

That sucks Vicki, please accept my condolences. And glad to hear that the cat showed up Dread.

I always hated that. And more often than not the dupes could be traced to playlist files, erasing those often seemed to cure the dupe issue although did require a complete library rescan.

Anna Ternheim -- Leaving on a Mayday This is a fracken great disc in my book. I've been enjoying the hell out of it since Al posted it a while back. Sort of in the same vein as Bat for Lashes.

Started making something fun, yes, didn't finish anything yet though. I'm hoping to log some time on it this week so pics may be coming sooner rather than later for once. Wish I could say the same. In late-day activities I managed to dust of the mountain bike and take it for a brief spin around town. Felt good.
