Happy Belated Birthday, Steve!!! Looks like you did good enough, enjoy your iPad.

Happy belated Birthday, glad to see you had a nice day. Repeat it!

Done. What a wonderful cause.

BH/BHSE. Results will depend largely on the source, but listening to well recorded music on the 009 combo is addicting. The 007 will benefit too, a huge lot. As a matter of fact I tend to listen to the 007 even more, things work like John says. Someone once told me that loading the output of a tube amp--which already has a transformer at the output--with another transformer may result in damaging the amp, or in the best case, diminishing its performance quality. Any knowledgeable around having an opinion?

Congrats, Vicki. Your epic ride sounds like a fun and worth adventure.

While watching the Real Madrid - Athletic de Bilbao (real)football match, listening to Dave Douglas Quintet - Live at the Jazz Standard [12-set] at Douglas website Considering if purchasing the whole package at $100. I'm ending track 12, which I'm afraid is as far as one can listen.

The 3000's are pretty comfy so if sound-wise do the trick, they may be a perfect match. Otherwise let me know, I'd get those pads if you're not going to use them.

The ATH L3000 (leather and expensive) and W3000 ANV (probably pleather and likely less expensive) are 100mm. Denon D5000's (and probably D2000's too) are 90mm. JVC HP-DX1000 are 100x105mm, but rather thick (though extremely comfy).

I still keep a pile of recorded cassettes, even blank ones, Metal TDK were my favorites. A couple of working Walkman, and a Nakamichi deck. I haven't listened to a cassette in about 17-20 years, more or less what it took me to have a CD player in the car.

Sorry, Steve. Cheers to Simon for being a good friend.

The putty ring around the driver is your addition too or just the thin plastic film for dust protection?

The video obviously is wrong. While nowadays we have the luck of having presents brought by Santa and The Three Wise Men (Reyes Magos) on Christmas Eve and Epiphany Eve, when I was a kid only Los Reyes Magos were bringing them. Not sure if that was a Catholic thing or a wealth one. However we were aware of Santa's existence and we already knew he spent part of his holidays on our sunny and warm beaches, but not in summer, but around the Easter time. Tapas, jamón de bellota pata negra, Ribera de Duero and all those gourmandises are to blame of his round belly. I saw him several times when I lived in the Mediterranean Coast

^ I'd pay to see pictures of Dinny riding that thing

This too. It's available at Grooveshark

Very true, and applies to many other aspects of life.

Happy Birthday!!!

He's Alonso. Just sayin' He's a great driver, and seems to be improving over the years, but Vettel is in the same kind of cycle that enjoyed Schumacher at Ferrari. I don't see Ferrari building a car which can outdo or at least be in par to the RB. Not this season, probably not the next one. It feels as a waste of talent. Spa is a classic race, but it never was among my favorites. I don't know why because it's a wonderful circuit and usually has plenty of action. I'll have to learn to see it with different eyes. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Steve.

Just a matter of perseverance and time

What a beauty! Congrats Vicky, I wish you can make over 10,000 miles on that bike and still be happy with it

Funnily enough that same album was my choice after listening to Neko's

I knew someone would love it.
