Smeggy, I think the first 4 seasons of MI-5 are instant watch on Netflix. It's a great series.

Vicki, sorry to hear about the brace. Dan, sorry about the forced vacation. While a month off would be good, a month without pay would not.

Now taking this thread even more OT, I am considering a used Naim Supernait, which has a built in DAC. The guy says it's better than the Wavelength Brick but not as good as the Berkeley DAC. It also is an 80 wpc integrated amp/preamp. Jp and I always thought that my Naim Nait 5i and CD5i was a great digital setup. I wonder how this would be. Anyone heard the Supernait?

Netflix app is out for the iPhone. Just tried it out on Wifi and it works great. It is also 3G capable but I haven't tried it yet.

Generous or not, dealers tend to discount but you may be right. As far as I can tell, they are sold direct, by Clearsound and Underwood Hifi so with so few places to purchase, the likelihood of a deal is less, I guess. I decided to keep my Sonic Studio 302 over the PWD, only based on having the ability to use my analog rig without a phono pre, with the 302. I was offered a very good deal on the 302 so I sold it knowing that I wanted to eventually move up the line. I may have to wait a bit to do that so I'm looking for other possibilities that I could move later, if I need to. I liked the PWD when I had it.

I think we went with a one piece Toto toilet. The counter top template was done this morning, so the the tops and sinks should go in Monday or Tuesday.

Since Sonic Studio is not cooperating and at my old age, my tolerance for not getting returned phone calls from people I want to give a decent amount of money to is not what it used to be I'm interested in this discussion. I think I can rulenout the Neko as it does not have volume control so, for the moment, the PWD and the Wyred 4 Sound are top of the list. The PWD gets the edge for the moment since I liked the one I owned before. I may just have to pickup the DAC 2 and try it out for 30 days. Anyonebknow if any of the dealers discount the DAC 2?

The floor is tile. The sinks look better in person and might be the single most expensive component of the bathroom.

I think you are right. The last book was actually split into two books. You would think, since it's mostly written already, the damn 5th book would be out with a 6th to follow. I'm just hoping the HBO series will be good. I believe they are filming in Northern Ireland and the cast has been mostly set.

I'm pissed that Martin has not finished the last book. I guess he is too busy consulting on the HBO series of ASOIAF.

or at my attempt at humor. Still trying to buy an Amarra 4 but Sonic Studios is playing hard to get.

Very nice. Gail was trying to keep everything on the simple side so that she could go with those sinks, which she fell in love with. Salty, I remember that, just an attempt at humor.

You mean watching cartoons, while fucked up. Slate should be nice. I don't think we considered that for the bathroom.

Too bad you aren't closer, as I could probably get you some deals on some of the stuff you will be buying. We were going to go with granite but it was too much of a pain to match and most of it was too busy to go with the sinks, which are pretty busy themselves.

Thanks. I will take one with my camera tonight. Those were done with my iPhone.

Our granite guy is supposed to come by today or tomorrow to make his template. I figure it will go in next week. This is it so far. New toilet not yet installed:

16 GB 3G iPad for my wife's birthday. 1 full slab of Cesar Stone for bathroom countertop. Hopefully we will have enough leftover to use in the master bath next year. 4 more boxes of 18 x 18 tiles to cover bottom half of walls and extra bull nose

Wayne, so how was it? I have been searching CL for road bikes. I need to get this half ironman thoughts out of my head.

Tom, that was the second time I've had the problem with the wires breaking in the earpieces I've assumed that when they repair broken wires on the drivers they had to redo my earpieces. I'm hoping to send them back tomorrow. Both of us being in Florida, they will have them the next day but who knows when I will get them back.

Congratulations! I'm making beef brisket with merlot and prunes. Trying to find the right recipe for Rosh Hashanah when I will be cooking for 20.

On the possible good side, I am not aware of anyone else having similar issues. It seems to me if these are meant to be used by rock stars on almost nightly basis during a tour, I would think they would be more durable. I would say that maybe I got a bad set but they must have been redone the two times they went back due to the drivers coming loose. I will call tomorrow but this is getting old.

Wayne, come to the Tampa meet.. Gene is organizing and said he's getting Ray and Mikhail. It's going to be an old school Florida Meet.

You shouldn't have even told him you were in Tallahassee. He will find you. I think the meet may be in November.

I have to send mine back for the third time. This time a piece of plastic broke off one earpiece and the the sound keeps cutting out due to a problem with the connection between the cable and the earpiece. I can get it to work but certain movements cause it to cut out. It's not like I am abusing them. I use them mostly when I walk the dogs and sitting around the house.

Steve, really sorry to hear about Fred.
