And both in the Bay Area. Odd.

Have a great trip, Grahame! You'll have to take afternoon tea while in Victoria, so try The Blethering Place or the Fairmont Empress. Best damn scones and cream I have ever eaten.

Top Chef?

Arctic Monkeys -- Humbug

Got to jump on a work call, but I think Panny plasma is still pretty hard to beat. The Pioneer Elite that I have had for years is also great but I think the price to performance ratio isn't as high as others. I like the Gallo Reference wall-mount speakers and think they would be awesome with even a small sub. I have also had very good experience with my McCormack HT-5 amp which can be had pretty cheap on Audiogon.

Powerbook, which will have 10.5 on it. Thanks, couldn't remember the key to hold down.

Thanks David. I have not yet asked Craig, so I think I can let is go with that explanation.

How do I boot from the install disk so I can wipe this Powerbook clean before reinstalling OSX?

Not that great actually. Other EAR gear is better at shat it does.

I use my Moth 300B Paradigm, which cost me $1500 plus $500 for Western Electric tubes, and the only one I have heard and liked better is Min's Zanden 300B amp. I was looking forward to hearing the SDS-XLR with the K1Ks when my amp died, and I intend to try it out soon now that ironbut resurrected it. The TTVJ/Millett 307A sounds great with K1Ks. I also agree with Min on the WA5 being a good option and the Extreme not being a good option, but I have yet to hear the AirTight. Dussun integrated amps drive them pretty well, but not at all like the 300Bs I have heard.

U2 -- October

I'm a fan of the ball end type of hex wrenches, and some have the "power bar" or similar to provide more torque action. Also, there is this kind of thing, although I don't actually own them: -Click It-

Then tell us how it is in 9 minutes!

Terence Blanchard -- Bounce Seeing him tonight with JP.

Snow Leopard is in my grubby hands.

Bela Fleck, Zakhir Hussein, Edgar Meyer -- The Melody of Rhythm

You're just hearing iTunes because Amarra doesn't go through the Built-In Output. I don't think it stops the meters from jumping, etc, but the Amarra audio output will not route through there.

Amarra does not work with the optical output of a Mac, and will not.

No charge is my understanding and experience so far.

What does "local storage" mean? I have seen it used with NAS drives and Computer Audiophile talks about using NAS and Drobo and such. Also, ALAC support is supposed to be in the next revision.

Cool Dan! Is that smaller box on the left the one that holds the wall warts? I hope to hear it soon, as we have discussed.

It's your birthday, so go Posty! Cheers!
