Voltron

Nice. It better not be refurb. That would be bogus. Have fun V. As for me, I cannot get my iPad to connect by bluetooth to the Mac Mini. It is paired successfully but every time I try to connect it shows it as connected for a second and then not connected. Anybody have any ideas?

Happy Birthday Lilly! You should take tomorrow off, Super Dad, and just sleep and get waited upon. It's Father's Day after all.

What's one after 909's last birthday? This birthday! Have a great one David. Cheers!

Thanks for starting the thread, Squire. I think we need to consider where the most people might migrate for a visit and what is workable from a cost perspective in terms of hotel space and such. It would be nice to do a large scale meet of some sort -- maybe not Euro CanJam -- but something more than just a get-together of our gang. It would be good for European headphones geeks and might get things rolling over there more. I will PM Contrastique to get her attention. That Dutch crew, the London/UK crew and the Spanish crew would make a nice starting point for Duggeh and Biggie to inspire and organize. We need to kick around ideas seriously and follow up on Grahames questions and others. Tally ho!

Yeah, I read the full range of Frank Herbert Dune books -- and that is a slog eventually -- and then went into the first couple Herbert the Younger books because they were a fun throw-back to the earlier true Dune books. Maybe I'll pick up a couple more but I read for pleasure so seldom that I have quite a backlog.... Recent cocktail-related purchases: Aviation gin, Curacao of Curacao, Bonal quinquina, Firelit coffee liqueur, Drambui, Benedictine, Chartreuse, strainer spoon, absinthe spoon Beer purchases: One each Brewdog Paradox and Tokio and two Sierra Nevada 30th Anniv. bock. Daughter's birthday present from us and both sets of grandparents: Canon Rebel EOS T2i with 18-55mm zoom, Canon 50mm 1.8 (to be shared with me ), 4GB hi-speed card, UV filters. She is a good photographer and is taking a couple more classes, but I admit this is over the top for a 15 year old. We can be Canon people together and share lenses and such, so that will be a fun father/daughter side benefit.

Actually, I should withdraw that claim for now because others in the group may be closer to building than I am (Nate is) and I don't want to hold them up. I should hold off.

Can I speak up now or only in three weeks?

What do you think? It seemed to me lighter and poppier if that makes sense. I also saw him perform at Amoeba Records but saw only one song.

Yay! and Boo! at the same time. Have fun this weekend.

I think you would like Kate Rusby, V, and it was Ric who turned me on to her too.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers -- MOJO

Of course I will have all of them, just curious.

I like the fact that the Playback guy wrote up Ray Smuel, Rudi, and Qables even though none of them were actually there. I guess Ray doesn't suffer too much from not attending...

Jon Lord. Whitesnake.

Townes is a great album. Georgia Ann Muldrow -- Ocotea

Hey Doug, here is the list of some BrewDog treats they will have tonight. Any thoughts in particular? I had Tokyo at DanJam, and I might have tried Chaos Theory in a bottle before. Rarities on tap: Tokyo and Paradox Isle of Arran. Rarities in the bottle: Tokyo, Paradox Isle of Arran, Chaos Theory.

Are you Dallan on Head-Fi? Why the new name?

Psst, Grahame, they're called the Blackhawks. It's an American thing.

Nice work, Gene!

This^ but with init caps

Dew eet seely Monkeeeee!

$249 for a discrete SS amp or $349 for a SET tube amp? Pretty amazing if they sound good. Thanks for flagging them Smegs, I applaud your ability to wade through the mass of shit on HF to find the good Shiit.

Nice shots Grahame! Your tourist shots seem more inspired somehow.

Eddie Current Transcription Amplifier phono stage. My Mayberry rig will now be Craig Uthus from source to speakers: Dual TT > Eddie Current TA > Moth 300B Paradigm Amplifier > Moth Cicadas. I just need to wrestle that Moth DAC away from Craig sometime and I could add the digital side into the Uthus mix. Purchased the TA from JP who already has seller's remorse even though he hasn't shipped it yet.

Still unpersuaded on the iPhone 4. Maybe later, or not at all. But if my daughter's original iPhone craps out (which she was saying may be the case this morning) then I will get the 4 and give her my 3GS. Win Win.
