	Why is Apple not in their company list?
 - 
	I made a down payment with Liquid HiFi on June 28th, thinking it would ship by mid to late July.
 - 
	The HE-5 LE definitely like a powerful amp. I'm really liking the SAC KH1000 amp with them, although it's not as cheap or easy to buy as the Asgard. The Nuforce HDP is pretty good with the HE-5 LE as well, and the EF5 works well with them too, but these are more expensive amps which might make the Asgard a better bargain. As for the Bridge, why are they bringing in more beta testers when it's supposed to be shipping very soon now? I've already made a deposit with Liquid HiFi 2 weeks ago. Feel free to PM me if this is too off topic.

	Well, Bianca Carlson says I'm in the exact same room at the Marriott that I had last year. Weird. I should know soon if the extra spot in the room is taken by Bluto, or if it's available for someone else.

	All Apple needs to do is put a non-conductive coating on the external antennae, which I think they should have done before shipping these. With my Gelli case I can still make the phone drop to 3 bars by covering the lower left corner with my hand in the "grip of death", but it doesn't affect calls or data speed like holding it without the case. It's true that all phones have an area where you can interfere with the antenna reception a bit, just not as badly as an unprotected iPhone 4. I also noticed that when using the JH13Pro cable with my Casemate Gelli case, that it does push or distort the shape of the case right around the headphone jack a little bit in order to get the plug fully seated, but it's not so stiff that it wont let me plug in the earphones.

	I'll be there for Saturday and Sunday, arriving friday evening with my 12 yr old son. If Blutarsky isn't staying with us I think we could make room for one person from out of state to stay for free for 2 nights, either in the other bed or the floor. I need to check with Bluto and also see if my son will share my bed or sleep on his thermarest pad on the floor. I'm working on getting a room now.

	Bummer.
 - 
	The Casemate Gelli case has a very large headphone opening and will accept plugs from my JH13Pro and my Whiplash audio TWag cable, it just wont accept the 1/8" plug that APS uses on some of my full size phones.
 - 
	Yeah, but does it sound good? I read a lot of praise for the Clip+. Can you tell me the differences? Thanks!
 - 
	Nice deal - if I wasn't already running a pair of the older 802.11n Extreme I'd consider this. I have one set as a 5Ghz 802.11 n-only. The other is set up as a 2.4 Ghz 802.11n/g/b for all the other non-n gear.

	Happy birthday!

				Assemblage 2.6/2.7 and Icarium rants
HeadphoneAddict replied to dreamwhisper's topic in Home Source Components
NoNoNoNoNoNo has not been greedy at all with casing up my SS eXStatA. It was mostly complete 2 months ago except for the Amati attenuator which is fried, and he wont let me send a final payment until it is done and ready to ship. I too wish him the best and wish people might cut him a little slack. (I also hope Marc can resurrect the attenuator soon, since I need the amp for our CO meet next month) - 
	
	
				Assemblage 2.6/2.7 and Icarium rants
HeadphoneAddict replied to dreamwhisper's topic in Home Source Components
It seems that NoNoNoNoNoNo is having some financial issues and had to sell both of his stacker II amps (one from dBel) and his Assemblage 2.7, out of necessity and not greed. I wasn't aware that was not allowed. I am confused about his not knowing if it was modded or not. - 
	A newer photo of Socks, who is now about 9.5 months old.
 - 
	I save all my old apps, so when one stops working with 3.1.2 then I can reinstall the old version that did work.
 - 
	The hole is oversized and fits all my portable headphones, but it's a little too small for the 1/8" plug on my APS V3 cable. However it does have room for the 1/8" plug on a Whiplash Audio 1/8" plug. Here is a photo of the plug Whiplash uses with the TWag cable that fits the Gelli Case: Here is a photo of the plug from APS that does NOT fit the Gelli case:

	This is how well the taser works:

	I like the Lassie fail.

				I sort of want a pair of good closed phones

	I love the eInk for daytime reading. But a large park of my reading time is spent in a dim room in the evening while my family watches TV, or after my wife is a asleep because I'm a night owl, etc... Once B&N updated their reader for iPad, I started using the nook a little more during the day but the iPad in the PM. They still don't seem to sync last page read properly, so when I switch I have to search for a unique phrase on the last page that I read and search for it in the next device. That is such a pain that it's often easier to ignore the nook and keep reading on the iPad. Maybe a Kindle would be a better idea since they sync last page read properly, but I keep thinking that B&N will fix this issue soon (despite 4 updates in 6 months that didn't).
 - 
	I carry an iPhone in one pocket and PM9 in the other. Just hope I don't grab the wrong one at the wrong time. PS: I'm really liking my Casemate Gelli case.
 - 
	I used the nook a lot until I got the iPad. Switched to iBooks and Kindle apps on iPad then, and now back to B&N iPad app as well (since it was updated). I only occasionally use the nook when I need something lighter to carry around the house. Once they properly sync page bookmarks between nook and iPad app I'll maybe use it more.
