Dusty I just got an email from Vintage King they have an open box special on the HEDD192 for $3125 as well as a lot of other sexy stuff. Too bad I'm not buying anything these days....

My understanding is that it is modeling the non-linearity of compression and distortion etc. Anyway it's only 10x the Behringer DEQ. Vintage King carries them, I'd say a trial may be in order

Never heard of that product before. Very cool, though not for the purist I would guess. I wonder how long it will be before the catalog and model every tube and get rid of them entirely Makes me want to try the HEDD 192 just out of curiosity and without the tube modeling the thing is supposed to be great. http://www.cranesong.com/downloads/1595_Crane%20Song.pdf

I just finished watching The Watchmen Directors Cut. Good but holy crap that was a long movie.

Happy birthday

Congratulations Beefy! That's awesome, I hope the research goes well. I woke up feeling like crap and decided to take a sick day. Now I'm watching TV and cooling out.

Agree plus cycling in my case.

Way to not answer the question. Not that I disagree with the argument about DDT/malaria but there is also the question that if DDT wasn't in the market place depressing prices that maybe ramped up production of other less environmentally damaging alternatives would drop the prices of these. The issue I have with Glen beck is that he doesn't judge the quality of his source before passing it on to his audience, this opens him for ridicule. Last time I checked I really shouldn't have to fact check everything from a program that claims to be journalism. I disagree with this entirely as would most of those "organizers" who personally encourage and praise all that join their cause. Depends on what one calls radical change. I would argue that there have been lots of radical changes to many things in the US system from deregulation to Roe vs Wade without an attached crisis. As far as the argument that these small changes make no difference and only make the tree-huggers feel better, that depends on how many tree-huggers there are doing it and congratulating other tree-huggers and converts when they do it too.

GO BLUE

Me interested.... Very interested.....

I assumed you had something in mind. Good luck with the decision.

You mean the $$$$$ teac transport is just audiophool bs? Please say it aint so

Stretch don't even fight it.... just pull out wallet.

Reading through the last pages it looks like a bit of the luster has come off the JH13. Does everyone still love them? Not going to buy anything until my second is paid off but just asking.

I nominate IpodBJ for also doing some scientific testing of the effect on the electrons when the listener is not breathing or at least the effects of the listener being severely beaten with a shovel...

Left work early to go to the local bank to do a international wire transfer to be told that the cut-off was 3pm (crock of shit) and that I'd need to come back tomorrow. Phoned Wachovia customer service and clarified that the cut off was 5:30 if I wanted same day and 9pm if I didn't care if it happened tomorrow (a fact I made clear to the rude person at the bank). I then filed a formal complaint which I hope doesn't disappear into the system. I hope at least the customer service woman at the branch gets a talking to by her manager.

Sorry I missed it. Looks like you all had a good time..

Let me get this straight? Damping factor doesn't matter for headphones? WTF are you smoking. Your less circuitry argument is utter nonsense too. Pure bat-shit babbling.

Yeah it would probably help me out a bit around here too. Though chances of getting work to pay for one are nil and we have to use their machines.

That looks amazing!
