Happy Birthday!

Gene, next year, GABF!

Thanks Miguel, I may take you up on that. I think Oz may have 600's I can borrow. I will let you know.

Good luck Dan!

That would be a good way to describe it. I think I may need to buy some 600's or 650's for the headphone out, which is good for 200 ohms and up. I remember bringing it to a meet years ago and recall it sounding pretty good with them.

My buddy Oz has had this amp for 5 years in the shop, almost never being used. I've wanted it for a long time but the retail at the time was $5500 with the dac option. The exact same amp today on TTVJ, without the $750 dac option retails for $7800. If I buy it, I will pay less then half todays retail price with a full factory warranty. It does sound great. As much as I like the McCormack, when I went back to it on Monday, the Brinkmann was just better. And no, I needed to be able to sell the McCormack to help pay for the Brinkmann.

Thanks Al, I will check tonight. There is sound coming out of the right channel but there is also a sound that is like if someone was blowing into a mic, not loud but there. I'm pretty sure this was operator error.

Since I need a new amp now I'm considering this:

I f'd up my McCormack amp. I was messing with the cables and one of them sparked when it touched one of the RCA inputs. I think I am going to stick it in the crate and just put it in the attic and write it off as a loss.

The beer selection is superior at the Falling Rock but do they have Cricket Burgers?

Cool use for the iPad: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/15/dining/15ipad.html?_r=1&emc=eta1 The restaurant in the article, Bones, is an excellent steakhouse in Atlanta.

I would rather go to this than RMAF but Jp is still dealing with that HF CanJam nonsense so RMAF it is. Check out the Cigar City Beer offerings.

I want a Cricket burger at Duffy's Cherry Cricket.

Like Shelly, I waited a bit too long to have it done. He blew some air on the tooth to see how hot the nerve was and I almost jumped out of the chair. The procedure was mostly but not completely painless. He had to give my 3 shots to get me numb enough to do the procedure. He is a friend of mine and his exact quote after he was done was, "Mike, this is going to hurt like a motherfucker later.". I just took one of the percocets he prescribed. Scott, sorry to hear about the truck. Shelly, I hope you figure out that paper.

Cj, thanks. I just ordered 2.

Just received an email from Radio Shack for this: ioSafe Solo USB Fireproof/Waterproof External HDD (2TB) : Hard drives | RadioShack.com It seems like a good deal for a 2 TB external usb drive.

Those are beautiful Jim. Enjoy!

Computer audio works like a charm for me. Any headaches I get are from drinking too much without rehydrating after an 18 mile run.

I don't think I would recable the 800's. They sound just fine with the stock cable.

I always liked the SAA cables but bought them used.

I did a comparison between a couple of aftermarket cables with the 650's using a GS-1 and the differences between cables was easy to hear. When it comes to IC's, I've never heard much of a difference.

Same here but at $129, compared to $695 for Amarra, it's not a bad deal. Listening to the JH13's out of the Amarra 4 headphone out and it is the best I've heard the JH13 out of an amp. It's dead quiet with the source paused. While, at $4000 retail for the Amarra 4, when you consider it's your source, preamp, phono pre and headphone amp, and damn good at all of them, it's not a bad deal.

It's good thing there is no shortage of beer in Denver.
