True enough that if you increase Tracking to Fastest setting it will traverse without a lift.

I think that is right, Dinny. I hated the Mighty Mouse or whatever with the teensy track ball. This is way better and cool for lost of things but heavy and awkward for things like right clicking where it shouldn't be. Weird disconnect at One Infinite Loop.

Glad to hear that. I really wasn't sure when dropping late the other night but just listened myself this morning and thought it was pretty darn good. I was pissed by the number of ticks and such, but it was freshly cleaned and even thrice cleaned in the case of Theme for Lester Young that has glitches early and in the middle. RTI strikes again, I guess.

Thanks Jeff. Deleted. Reinstalled. Sounds good with Apple Lossless. Gotta check out the other stuff.

What's the best way to uninstall on a Mac? Just trashing the application folder or something else?

Sorry, no real Benz experience.

My wife, JP#s and I had the life-force drained out of us at a concert last night that should have been a miracle but was instead a sin. Don Byron and Nicholas Payton at the amazing Grace Cathedral with its soaring space and 7-second delay front to back was expected to be wonderful. It wasn't. Byron playing solo at first actually was pretty cool. Mostly he played clarinet, some tenor sax, and some bass clarinet. Cool stuff. Then, the female vocal part of the original Star Trek theme song (as JP characterized it) broke out from the back of the church. It slowly moved forward and was complemented by some trippy violin playing. That was Iva Bittov

Nice, JP. What's wrong with using a good cart on a solid TT? If the foundation for good sound is there -- which your tests seemed to prove against a much more expensive TT -- then go ahead and kick it up a notch! I wouldn't go nuts with a super expensive cart because you would likely be leaving a lot on the table, but I bet that's a really nice improvement. I have to figure out what to do on my cart situation. I think I will get another arm for the Aries and set up the Skala vs. Koetsu test first, then maybe kick it up a notch meself.

The Clash -- Super Black Market Clash

Aren't I supposed to get something from HR or Tyll for shilling? I've never gotten anything more from them than a HeadRoom mug with some good bourbon in it. Come to think of it, that was some pretty good bourbon! Hey, maybe I am a shill.

^agreed. Mucho mejor!

I do quite like my HeadRoom monoblocs with my Harbeths, and they are nice and compact.

Nice pics, especially the above, and welcome to Head-Case. I'm another Mac Mini/Amarra user and agree that it can be the heart of an incredible digital system. Let us know how the 8GB upgrade works out because my 2009 Mini will be in for more than the current 4GB if it is as worthwhile as that article suggests. Read your welcome PM and try to abide by its suggestions and you will enjoy it here. Cheers.

New iPhone 3GS 16GB to replace the one stolen out of my wife's classroom by a scumbag student. New iPhone cover to replace the one on the iPhone stolen out of my wife's classroom by a scumbag student. Cable lock for the Macbook Pro that has not yet been stolen out of my wife's classroom by a scumbag student. Magic Mouse for me after being such a nice guy and buying that crap and activating the phone, etc.

The Jam -- All Mod Cons

Maybe a few inches but not much more for a near-field setup. Enjoy CJ.

^^how is that on vinyl, Stretch? I thought the Raconteurs and the White Stripes both sound much better on the vinyl releases and I think that this one might too. Regina Spektor -- Laughing With

But Nate, aerius says that the 3rd one is an exact replica of nature.

I hate to suggest that the BS smell ain't too faint. Hope it works out great and all is well.

A bit of the ol' Ludwig Van. SF Symphony conducted by Osmo V

Sage advice. I hope you made them grovel and kiss your ring, or maybe Dolan's ring. Damn bossy partners! w00t! Go for it slacker!

I'm going to get back at you all.

Jeff- Any of your HD Tracks purchases that stand out? I will probably pick up a few more with the code as well, and wondered what you were digging.
