Voltron

Are you a Papist without a Pope, Grahame? Sorry about the illness, Jeffy. Been a terrible year for stomach and chest flus.

Recorded that for Claire. Watching the third Parade's End. No mentions here yet?

He's even better live.

I've listened many times and love it every time. I wanted to about an hour ago but I have two of Brahem albums and not that one. Decided to play something else even though the others are good too. This is what I played instead

very pretty

I have never liked the sound of the Benchmark DAC1 and yet Ric is right that I was also impressed the DAC2 HGC. Very good sound and handles a lot of formats and inputs. No SD or USB stick input directly, but maybe some external device can allow such connections to the USB input? The seriously impressive sounding device was the Playback Designs MPD-5. The MPS-5 version also has a CD/SACD player that would be super sweet, but not smaller or lighter than your Sony monster. What is Dinny's DAC?

I can't imagine mixing and scratching would do a TT any good for audiophile listening. I wouldn't buy one and expect it to sound any good or hold speed well.

Have a great one Naaman! I may have to pick up some OE800 to toast you properly. Cheers!

Good news Vicki! Hope the PT does the trick!

Congrats to Rodriguez and Searching for Sugar Man for winning best documentary feature. Cool stuff.

Was the back rub as good as the food, Jeff?

RIP Heidi the cat. Sorry Knucks

Danny be grawk! Biscuit Boy was right! Have a good one, whoever you are! Cheers!

Happy 80th G-Mum!

Have a great one Al! Cheers from another Al!

Happy birthday to the lord of the very short dance! Have a great one Colin. Cheers!

Happy Wood Dr. Birthday! Cheers!

Happy BBQ birthday Edbot! Cheers!

Bummer he will miss the 50th anniversary hoopla. RIP WWB

I am far behind on coming up with a solution for my house as well, Jim. I was foolishly hopeful for some kind of SSD Thunderbolt array after they showed off TB with that type of prototype 2 years ago. I am at the point where I may hire someone to set something up that is workable and will work for my family, or at least bribe Grahame with bacon and Diet Coke so he can help me do it myself. Please post your progress and I am going to check out this Synology stuff.

Toasting Stephen and my son Alden who is 15 today with one of Stephen's NC brews. Tasty stuff. Cheers boys!

Too bad they skimped on the cheese.
