Saturday: installed a new water softener and remember why I am not a plumber. It only took 3 tries and 2 trips to Lowes to get a non-leaky connection. Lesson: I am better at soldering PCB's than pipes. Sunday: God insisted that I rest, so I did. Took a nice walk with the family as temps topped 60. Cleaned up the mess made by Saturday's adventures in plumbing. Didn't have to worry about Lily puking for the first time in a week.

But they felt ok dragging the other $5k worth of their gear?

Was there really a rig that had an Apache (MSRP = $2995.00) fed by an Oppo (~$400) driving HP-2's (~$1000 + cable)? I love seeing a rig with good monetary balance.

I watched the first two episodes yesterday, definitely a good start.

Marc, I have a FPE order going in in the next couple weeks (actually to Cam Expert) and could add something to it if you want.

Yup, thought it was decent enough to try again next week. Not great, not bad.

Try reading the wikipedia article on pulleys, it does a fair job of explaining the general principle of why there is a mechanical advantage gained using a block and tackle (just a pulley system). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulley

Very nice! Thanks, it's very much appreciated.

Let me know if you guys have trouble raising funds for the meet, a quick set of cables can always been produced for auctions/raffles/etc.

That's all I've seen.

No, that's why they put caps lock directly opposite so when you're slamming with both fists it comes out ALL CAPS!!!!1

I don't read the results of this survey as the death or lack of real preference of fidelity more as a confirmation of the human condition. People will be come conditioned to whatever it is that they are most often presented with and become comfortable with that because we, as a species, are generally pretty complacent. If high fidelity recordings were the norm and mp3's the exception I'd wager the results would be reversed.

Gary, I'm not sure I'd even try to remove the opamp intact. Just cut the little bugger off and then take your time removing the remnants of the legs.

Happy Birthday!

Wow, pure fail on the controls part. I'd never own one for that reason alone.

As opposed to MarkL, which would be $0.

Yes, that's correct.

Your best bet may be impressions from the upcoming NYC meet.

Prototype's aren't going to help much if you guys have already ordered thousands of dollars worth of parts. The lesson here is that these things take time, cost money, and shouldn't be rushed. At least that's my opinion, I can't keep up with this thread given my un-involvement but I'd just hate to see a bunch of you invest with unnecessary risk.

It would be the round hole cutter tech's opinion that at least one prototype might be a wise idea...

I hear you Gary, some days it's better to just walk away.
