  1. Haj, I'm sure I've got a pair of cables somewhere you can borrow. What do you need?
  2. Certainly not a catch-all Kevin, but it'd sure be nice to at least have the option if Mikhail once again decides to play loose with shipping deadlines or sends a defective product.
  3. Balanced Stock HD650 Cable. Start saving for a GSX.
  4. Happy Birthday!
  5. The only way I'd pay Mikhail right now is via a CC so you could do a charge back if issues arose.
  6. I am starting to have a greater deal of trouble with the way that he is conducting business. This whole over-upgrading and increasing the price thing is downright ridiculous. As if there isn't enough margin in some of those upgrades anyway.
  7. 8' of high capacity base board heat + installation labor for Lily's room which was consistently 3 to 5 degrees cooler than our bedroom where the thermostat is.
  8. I'm hoping Uncle Sam owes me a wad of cash this year with the arrival of Lily and mom being out of work for 3 months to take care of her. The Buffalo is pretty damn nice, But the Hertsens is no slouch so the Buffalo will be sold. I'm just going to give it a case worthy of it's stature before it goes. The Duet, as my homeboy johnny numbers put it, rocks. It's way more source than the soldering rig deserves but too convenient to not stick around for a while. Anyone with a MAC is crazy not to be using one unless they've got north of a grand to throw at their source. Like Dan said, you can buy a mac mini and the duet and be way better off than a lot of DAC's would have you and you get the transport for free.
  9. Got up, cleared the driveway. It was 7 degrees and wind gust were in the 30 to 40mph range. Not fun. Took down the Christmas tree that was fast becoming a fire hazard. Went to Lowes to buy pipe insulation, weather stripping and rope caulk in an effort to seal a few draft windows. Marginal success ratio but it'll have to do until I find 5 grand laying around to replace the windows. Wrapped up the social portion of the day with a quiet dinner and movie with the wife, which means we waited until after Lily went to sleep to eat. Finished the designs for the front and back panels of the Buffalo dac. Good start to '09 so far.
  10. It's still insanely windy here, I'd guess the gusts are ~40mph at a minimum. I'm off to Lowes to get some materials to seal a few leaky windows.
  11. Yup, around 6" of the white BS here as well. Of course now it's 8 degrees out and the wind is fricken howling. I think wind chills tonight are supposed to be in the negative teens. I can't wait to clear the driveway tomorrow...
  12. Just placed the order with Sony, not sure when it'll arrive so the wheel is yours...for now!
  13. Mike got a pretty sweet delivery confirmation number today as well, I guess it complies with the '09 rule since I shipped it in '08.
  14. Joanna Newsom - The Milk-Eyed Mender

    OHMYGODPOSTJACKISGOING!!!:!:!
  16. Yup around 4" on the ground here as well. City streets are a mess.
  17. It started here about an hour ago, looks pretty benign so far.
  18. Happy Birthday.
  19. That is pretty twisted, since I'm on DIY Audio as n_maher. Can't wait to see that!
  20. I'm still trying to figure out how Steve was feeding a balanced beta22 from an ipod?!?! I'm guessing that's why it sounded like poo and that there's nothing wrong with it.
  21. Happy Birthday, Jacob!
  22. No, I'm not buying anything speaker related until I get the Cicada project under my belt and I'd be surprised if I did anything beyond that. I just don't have the space for the speakers that I'd want to build.
  23. Forecast for me is 3 to 5 or 6 to 9, depending on who you believe.
