  1. Mine will be here tomorrow.
  2. I thought the Cute Beyond was a better match with the Grados than the Meier Headfive (which I suppose is like an Arietta), and you could change the opamps to tune the sound if needed. A good PSU will help as well. They are decent low end amps, but I think you would still like a Cavalli CTH, or Millett, or other tube hybrid with the Grados better. I just don't understand the aversion to amps with tubes. REVIEW: Firestone Audio Amps - Cute Beyond and Fubar III - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio
  3. Yah, my ancestors came from the Ukraine and Austria. That was one of those videos that I had to download and covert for iTunes and my iPod.
  4. I got a 3400ma pack similar to that from Amazon for less. It was $39 March 2008, now up to $49 18 month later.

  5. When I was looking for a low cost amp Skylab recommended the Dark Voice 336i over the Meier Cantate (he had both and is a big Meier fan) because he knew that I wanted to use it for HD600. Although the 336i is not the best for low impedance cans it will do okay with them if you tune it with different tubes; but the synergy with HD600 was great and it kicked butt on my Meier Headfive. So you might consider skipping the SR-60/80 or other low end cans that you mentioned and consider the HD600 with something like the 336i or 336SE. You can get a great sounding set of tubes for the 336i for about $100 (Sylvania VT-231 or an RCA Grey glass VT-231 + a Tung Sol 5998) and be very pleased with the sound. That would fit right in your budget and sound great assuming you have a decent source, and I assume the Oppo would be good enough. My only complaint was finding half my NOS 6SN7 tubes had hum and needed to be burned-in to improve the hum, but a few tubes never got totally quiet. I did the "fitz" mod myself (bypass caps) and that fixed the issue completely. PS: Naamanf's DIY M3 was better than the 336i with everything but the HD600, where they were then on a similar level if I recall.
  6. Got Talent? on Yahoo! Video
  7. I recognize vicky - is that Justin on the far right?

  9. At the old price nobody was buying them - I had the page flagged in my catalog, but never bought one. The sale price is more enticing. I wonder if I could install my old HE60 drivers in these...
  10. Okay, I see. I apologize for my misunderstanding. This one is too rich for my blood. I can't do it. Please count me out.
  11. Dr. Gilmore - I would like to go in for a complete kit, using DACT and plain aluminum knob. In regards to the $1500 estimate for parts, I know that doesn't including shipping or the DACT, but does that estimate include the case, front and back? Thanks! (I guess I need to start selling stuff. RS-1 with APS V3 cable might be first to go. At some point I'll need to hire a builder.)
  12. Somehow I thought I'd see you in here.
  13. I think that's a normal sized sammich and they simply got the "tiny-hands" guy from the BK commercial to pose with it.
  14. Bummer - missed out on the watch, but I could get a pedi-paws pet nail trimmer instead.
  15. I said the same thing about them after the CO meet.

  17. Try installing soundsource from rogueamoeba on 10.6 and see if that works. They say 2.5 works: Rogue Amoeba | Freebies: Free software for Mac OS X
  18. nice.
  19. You shouldn't have hurt it - the power supply wanted you to feed it 230V and you only gave it 115v, so it was underpowered is all.
  20. As long as she isn't for any gun control... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baUx42qs1xU
  21. I know it sucks when a new toy shows up and doesn't work right. I hope the amp gets it's shit together quickly.
  22. I often get errors or silent quits with Max and 24/06 FLAC files when converting to ALAC. It just had an update so I'll have to see if that is fixed. [EDIT - Okay Max 0.9.1 is fixed!]
  23. I see what you did there. Clever.
  24. But does that screw up the last.fm thing that happened when you added 24/96 to the album name? Changing the composer as I suggested above and sorting the grid that way allows both albums to have separate icons in the grid, without affecting the album or artist for last.fm
