For me it's the cost of creating a trafo coupled switchbox that holds no appeal. I don't think at face value that trafos are anything more evil than tons of other stuff you're likely to find in the signal path.
Al, very glad that Claire is ok. I'm sure you'll take the necessary steps to make sure that she is well taken care of. I'd say lawyer up but that'd be redundant.
Even now the humidity is still in the 60s, I'd guess it was every bit of that earlier when the temps were in the mid 90s. It was, in a word, disgusting.
Mowed.
Hung out with Lily in the kiddie pool for an hour or so. I just looked, it's 89 in the shade so I don't expect to go out much for the rest of the day.
Todd is not fond of updating his signature, he's rocking the HD800s these days.
And thanks for all the kind words about the build guys. It was a labor of love building it so I'm glad it went to a good home.
No, no, no, you've got this all wrong, it's an "aftermarket" cable so therefore it's more expensive. Don't make yourself responsible for it needing to sound better.
I'd rather take my chances with noise than introduce a trafo into the mix. Talk about an expensive (to do it right) solution to a problem that probably doesn't exist!
I'm with Todd, for $700-$900 it'd better be pretty fracken capable and not just a giant Ipod Touch. I'm already pretty non-plussed by the lack of keyboard, a lot of screen real estate is going to get eaten by that every time to you type something.
I am of the opinion that it is a bad idea to look for an amp to drive both headphones and speakers. Unless you want the binding posts for the K1ks or something like that?
