  1. dude, i have a speaker amp to buy, i can't afford that shit!

    Pffft. F Netflix and Blockbuster, get thee a rapidshare account and you can get near DVD quality material all day long, often before it's commercial release. I'll be watching Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End this weekend, try finding that at Blockbuster. Not that they ever have any good movies in stock and not that POC will be any good.
  2. Zune.

    It's short for, seldomly used portable device that must be cheap and functional. I have gotten away from using my Ipod daily, heck some weeks I don't use it, so dropping 2.5x on a new one made no sense.

  3. Just be aware that the higher you spec the amperage the more overshoot you're going to get. Most likely the amp is equipped to deal with this to a certain degree but I wouldn't use 1.5A wallwart in a situation that spec'd a third of an amp, odds are pulling that little bit of current the 1.5A PS is going to run pretty high output voltages, which could be a bad thing. You shouldn't have any issue finding a 12V/.5A wallwart at Mouser or Digikey, if you do let me know and I'll poke around and see what I can find for you.

  4. I agree, and for me, its mostly the lack of forum software features that is killing that place. Damn I just want to search within a thread.

    Which ironically enough you can do, you just have to guess you way into finding the button that made perfect sense to Chu. You'll notice that next to the thread title there's a little button that looks like this: srch_thread.gif, how you're supposed to know that this is for searching a thread without a hover clue is beyond me. I took a chance based on other visual evidence on the site and guessed correctly. I'd also "guess" that most people are like my friend JB and get so frustrated they don't try. I mean it's cool and all that Chu wrote the software but holy hell it's cumbersome coming from a mainstream forum.
  5. HeadWize was a comforting home back in the days when I didn't know about Head-Fi. Thank goodness the DIY community is still thriving.

    I read that and I think it's a smart move, the other forums drew such little participation that it just didn't make sense. I do think that he should have a MISC forum for stuff outside of DIY and the Maketplace. But I have to admit, the DIY Forum there is the only one that I ever look at, and pretty infrequently these days.
  6. I didn't think it was terrible. I still like the Peter story line and the Claire story line may get interesting. That blonde is back, and her story is boring so far though. Hiro is always good. Not sure what they are doing with Sylar, kinda lame.

    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.

  7. 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?

  8. 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 B) 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?
