Agree, the Peter story line has traction (plus bonus points for girl w/ accent, yay!) as does Claire's but I swear if I see the stupid Mexican twins use/unuse their powers again to get out of a jamb I'm going to shut it off. And Hiro is a mixed bag right now, if they'd let him move on from yet another repetitive story line (sark is good, sark is a drunk idiot, rinse, repeat) I may be on board but so far I'm not buying it. Did I mention that I hate the Mexican twins yet? I hate the twins. And Reks, they had ample time to realize that the show was going to have a second season. I mean it was a hit from the get go, so they knew what they needed to do for at least 6 months.

Back on topic, this week's heroes blew. :'( Could they have done any less with an hour? I mean it's a little early to be regurgitating material, isn't it?

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. I can't believe I forgot that one... Yeah, that'd probably do it too.

If the Diablo is the penultimate (second best) what exactly is more over the top than that tank of a chassis?

Are you watching the new series? I'll be catching the first ep tomorrow night, can't f'ing wait!

Your daydreams are so far out of my league that I've got nothing to offer other than a little perspective. Digital Questions: How much do you think you'd gain over the Exemplar Modded Denon to justify what would probably be a huge increase in cost? Is that fractional gain worth it to you? Do you really feel like your source is the weak link? Vinyl Questions: Do you enjoy vinyl? As a medium is just isn't for everyone, it's fussy, can be a serious pain to setup and availability of albums is pretty variable. For me it's mostly a lazy thing, when I sit down and listen I want to be able to a) jump around when I want without having to jump up and be able to listen to more than 4 tracks before having to get back up and flip the black disc thingy. One other can of gas to throw on the fire - have you given any thought to going balanced?

Most of the 800 series Wadia players had digital inputs as an option so if you're considering used that could be an option.

IIRC the delay is variable based on what headphones you have plugged in (their impedance plays a role) so you may find that it's longer or shorter depending on what you're using. As long as it's eventually closing and staying closed it's probably working just fine.

Let me know if you're having trouble Dan, my cable supplies order came in Friday so I've got enough stuff to make a quickie that would help you raise some more funds. The most important questions is: how's your amp doing?

I'd second this advice, I had an issue with the 1/8 to 1/4 adapter on my Etys and they replaced it out of warranty without question or payment for even shipping. While they may not repair your IEMs for free the phone call won't cost you anything and you never know till you ask. And as far as I'm concerned the '3' is Vaporware until proven otherwise. Westone has a lot of ground to make up after the mess they created taking pre-orders 8 months in advance of delivering a product, heck they still don't have a confirmed shipping date.

You should ask drp about his, word on the street is that he's got a new stat amp coming in and probably won't need the xformer any more for the HE60s.

No, he sold the esoteric. If he got the Northstar he'd still need a transport.

There's a Wadia25 on Agon right now, come on, take the plunge!

Ouch, Jay might be fanatical in his love the K340s but he's no Patrick.

I hope someone drops the hammer on Larocco, it sucks that Phil's name is getting basically trashed by someone that he no longer has any affiliation with.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the Northstar single-ended only? I think both your vaporware Singlepower and Beta are going to be single-ended so maybe that makes perfect sense and won't have you itching to go balanced...

You f'ing scam artist!

Yeah, I totally hose people on the deals I give them.

Please tell me you posted feedback for this douche on Head-Fi. I've heard horror stories about reviewers holding gear hostage until a man'f agreed to sell it at a discount but damn, straight up selling the product before you even review is bullshit.

Nice to see someone recognized the way I phrased the question. Is it 5 yet?

Yup, it'll do the job as well as any other 9V portable. You might have a look around for a 2x9V portable PIMETA if you can find one and actually I might have something at home that would work for you cheap. Shoot me a PM if interested.

What's someone else up to this weekend?

Hopefully in the next couple of months I'll get some custom molds made for my ER4P's and let you know how they sound. Granted, that's probably not really what you're looking for but dropping $1000 on closed cans that would then make you spend more money on another amp seems like more lunacy than I'd be comfortable with.
