Nice Mike!

Thank you for your service one and all!

Thanks for all the well wishes all. We are going to postpone the birthday for a while as my mother in law passed away today from cancer.

Good luck Jacob!

I know Linn also just records in high res too. I should have said that I believe high res is hooey for final listening..... for mastering it makes good sense much like shooting pics in raw. The bit depth and sample rate keep all processing crap out of the audio band. The only hard part is the final downsample and dithering which does need to be done right.

Just look for well mastered versions. Hi res is hooey in my book (I know lots of people disagree). Also I'm not entirely sure what deepak mean by rips of an SACD because ripping an SACD into other than 1bit formats requires some pretty heavy math and getting DSD data off the disc is impossible without breaking copy protection (which assuming the licensing is valid they probably are allowed to do).

My P300 is awesome in that it removed all the ground loop hum I was getting between my various components etc but can I hear any difference between any of the settings (other than on/off)? Nope.

I admit I only read his first description which did not say anything about async unless that's the digital lens thing. From the description there it sounds like re clocking not true async. The whole writeup gave me a snake oil feeling.

pack of 5 Ety tri-tips from Amazon. If I had known it was that easy to order them now I would have done it months ago...

Well consider the BS he's spewing I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Those specially stained knife handles?

Nice review Ric! Sweet.... the used gear market is going to pick back up in a few weeks

If you have to ask you don't want to know.

Best wishes Scott. I hope things start looking up soon.

Dan speaks the truth (mostly anyway, odds are some people are just plain lucky) anyway I would add that in every profession there is a long period where any cock up isn't going to be a big deal. Well if your management/supervisor/mentor is doing their job right anyway.

One of my favorites about school vs practical experience: A newly graduated engineer starts up at a small naval architecture firm and the owner/founder says to him upon his arrival: "The shop is looking a bit messy please sweep the floor, the broom is over there." the guy replies indignantly: "What? I'm an engineer with a degree from (Insert school here, in the story it was Univ of New South Whales in Aus)". To which the owner replies: "Oh, so I need to show you how to use the broom...."

If you think that school really prepares you for doing a job well enough rather than gives you the foundation to do said work you have unrealistic expectations (with the caveat that some schools do actually achieve this in very narrow fields or trade schools). Not trying to be mean just realistic. So very very true.

Spent the day babysitting Ben while my wife visited her mom in the ICU at hospital here in San Diego. I love him but he's been driving me insane since 1pm (so 5+ hours of fidgeting/crying and throwing up) and I can't even foist him off on my wife who has more important things to worry about when she gets home.

You have a point Dan. Maybe he will be out by the time I retire in 40 years (or whatever the age will be by the time I get there)

Ah. I guess to being a doctor?

Crappy why are you taking organic chem? I thought you were going to Wall St.

Orgo?

Look at the prism too both are supposed to be awesome. Gearslutz and others have positive things to say about it.

Happy Birthday!

If it can do a perfect square wave at 1k it most likely will have no problem with sine waves at 20+k because if it can get rid of the Gibbs phenomena it has a very wide bandwidth.
