I don't know about you but my goal is to provide less examples in the future, not more.

O RLY?

I do not understand why anyone would buy a Tomahawk. Hornet, sure, it's a decent enough little piece but the T just doesn't make any sense to me.

I drink liquor almost exclusively these days. Beer does not site well at all (I believe I've developed an allergy to most of it) so it's not so much a matter of choice since I very much enjoyed drinking beer but one of necessity. Enjoyed a glass of Highland Park 12yr last night as a matter of fact. And I find a good vodka tonic every bit as refreshing as a beer after a long day in the hot sun.

We've all been there in some way or the other, Jack. I did about 2 hours of trouble shooting on my first Cmoy before I finally posted and had someone tell me that I'd simply wired the headphone jack wrong. :| Don't get me started about the PPA that I fixed for Ian that took months to figure out that I'd wired the power supply wrong after fixing the real problem. The list goes on and on...

I think it's the fact that it's only 6:40pm on the West Coast and that maybe the preview hasn't really started yet. Who knows, jude was supposed to broadcast something live I thought but I'm not sticking around to wait. More IEMs can wait till morning.

Not likely, I prefer it with dual coax digital inputs and have precious little motivation to change that only to have to change it back when it returns home.

Deepak's Northstar = Reks' old Northstar

I figure given my luck with the Hertsens, the Arcam CD73, the Wadia and my future project this is pot/kettle situation. Congrats on the sweet K1k deal, I need more headphones like I need another whole in the head. Well you'll get that chance. Al has agreed to babysit the Hertsens for me for a couple of weeks so it'll be there for Mayberry even though I won't.

You guys are making life awful hard for us non-MAC users. :'(

You should dismiss that assumption, we all started somewhere and very few of us started with hi-fi gear. And most of us still own and use some of our original equipment in second systems, office or bedroom rigs, etc.

Dude, you owned a Wheatfield HA-2, you've heard a Millett amp. Wheatfield = Millett.

Agree, very cool. Love the fact that it still has digital outputs in that very small form factor.

I guess the pre-order only lasted a day or so. You are right, Mike, it was $695 when Jack posted about it on Head-Fi but it's now listed at $850.

It being late may be the least of your problems.

Good luck with that.

Aren't we touchy these days Beeeeleee. Seriously, what's up man? You only come around here now to tell people to fuck off.

Must have been, I got scared there for a minute.

How does the W5000 get hot?

This just in from engadget: HD DVD group cancels CES press conference in wake of Warner announcement: daaamn

I'm still trying to get you to give me your fracken address so I can send you the last cable you hand me build!

Or try a cup of tea to see whether it's the caffeine or something else about the coffee.

Coffee good, headache bad. Drink coffee.

I wonder, just wonder, if Wadia isn't using their existing tech that creates a digital signal from an analog source here. The previous product was called the Wadia 17 IIRC.
