Oh gawd, the possibilities for evil use of that "feature" are fantastic. Example.

And if you continue to fail to understand we'll before to break out the banstick.

Heatsinks look undersized to me.

Based on all the chatter I'm picking it up again. I'll probably watch a few episodes today since I'm home from work and locking myself down in the lab.

Happy Birthday Nums!

I can't help but say it again, perfectly possible.

Perfectly possible. But then again why would ones that he bought today (presumably new) look like pre '04 versions?

Justin, I don't think I've ever seen a pair of ety's with a straight cable after the y-split, it looked seriously f'ed up and very lamp cord-esque.

Welcome home. I think I speak for all of us when I say we felt it was the least we could do to try and say thanks.

Yeah, and as usual I lack the funds to even entertain doing something like that. I designed some custom aluminum grado cups a couple years ago but was put off by the fabrication costs. I may revisit the idea some day if I can find a pair of wounded or abused 225s cheap.

Yup, the y1 is an amazingly full featured little bugger.

I trust Ti to not have just cobbled together your typical USB based power source.

Amazing Steve, just amazing.

First thing I'd do is send the cups off to be refinished. I'm thinking that making them the only black anodized PS-1s might actually make them worth something.

Hey, just be happy dan didn't have it or it'd be a smoldering pile of rubble by now. (fight fire with fire mikey)

Don't fret if it got lost, stolen or otherwise. It can be replaced. And in case it helps, this is what it looks like.

Happy Birthday!

Boxy, but good.

Now that you mention it I think it requires a wallwart. But since he was already using the DAC1 I figured it didn't need to be USB powered. I'm still unclear as to what Vincent's endgame here is. [edit]D'oh, spoke too fast. [edit2]I see you found the same info.

What? No Livewires?

Has there ever been a time when TV prices didn't go down over time? In my experience the best that you can hope for is to buy something that is acceptable to you at the end of its run and get it at the cheapest price possible. Or resign yourself to the fact that getting the TV now and enjoying it for 'x' number of months is worth more than some amount of savings you'd get by waiting.

Vincent, are you looking for an upgrade from your current setup? Or are you still looking to sell the DAC1 and get something else? If it's the sell it option I'd see if you can't find someone early next year to build you a y1 dac (amb's latest project). I might have one in time for the NYC meet.

Clearly you are not aware that she was the one who wanted the larger TV in the first place.

I guess I should just be happy with far less than the "optimal" configuration. I can't imagine a 70" TV in my living room.
