Grahame is going to be so sad that you left him off. mikeymad has one post on Head-Case. Zippy is an H-C regular. neilvg is a Head-Case. amb is a Head-Case member and poster. blutarsky and BRBJackson are on H-C but have no posts. immitybicker is a Head-Case. For better or worse, Deadneddz is on probation but still a member.

So when should I send them?

They come with a flight case.

4 hard flight cases for some stuff [eventually].

x2 (meaning I bought 4 and don't even know what I am going to use them for :palm:)

Bring it on! Hi rez ripz is where itz at!

Indeed

For some reason I love listening to Shpongle on airplanes. Just seems to fit the setting.

VanJam will arrive in LA late afternoon Friday and rolls back North on Monday. It is looking like blessingx, neilvg, and maybe others have joined the crew. Should be quite a trip!

Gene and I offered you the couch, fold-out, floor, tub, or whatever we will have available in our room. You're set, buddy.

Hi Rez selections from Linn Records, Reference Recordings HRx, HDTracks, and Blue Coast Records. Got some Kinks, jazz, and folk stuff.

What's the word on the Skipjack, Dinny? Have you been doing fun stuff with it this week? Looking forward to those comparisons you were talking about with the spdif/toslink deal in play.

I hate his face too because United screwed me over on my flight home that day and I had to haul ass from airport directly to this much-anticipated show. I ended up getting about 30 minutes of bliss but missed 60 others.

Didn't pass, just didn't have time to counter. Enjoy them but make sure they get to you for CJ09.

That is very cool Dinny. When you decide to come to CJ09, please be sure to bring both because we could do some neat comparos.

No spatula needed. I'll use this: Duet deal might work.

Cool. I hope one is for me. I just bought this stuff for my hi rez audio project: + 2GB RAM

Good to hear you are still investigating, Dinny.

I am not sure why you think there is no more discount, but I would be persistent on that one. They slot in a block of rooms at the discount, then when those are filled they add more. Ping 909 or jp11801 for a definitive answer.

Tell us what they sound like when you hit n_maher. I bet that haz the best smudge factor.

I met Jonathan Reichbach at Sonic Studio's office and got a good introduction to the features of the Amarra software and hardware. I cannot give you any more technical data but I can say that I am buying a Mac Mini and will have Amarra and a Model 4 of my own or on loan as of Friday. And either way, Jonathan will make sure I have an Amarra for CanJam. If Dreadhead has a Mytek and/or Weiss unit or if I can get something on demo then we could do some comparing as well. The integration with iTunes is easy and yet impressive. The ease of handling tracks with a variety of sampling rates on the fly and without hiccup is great. The mixing, EQ and other features with and without the Model 4 are going to be fantastic for needle-drops. The additional features are too numerous to list and I don't think I know a tenth of them. Sonic also seems to have lots of plans for unlocking features already in Amarra and adding more. This system is going to be very robust from what I can tell. And the sound is great although I hardly had time or ability to do any real comparison on gear and speakers I am completely unfamiliar with. It will be very easy to compare iTunes to Amarra and Model 4 to any DAC given the ins/outs and ability to switch from Amarra to iTunes by clicking a dialog box. I intend to do some of the comparing next week. Sonic is taking it slow and trying to get everything figured out before they do a real, full-fledged launch. They are a pro dealer, after all, so this retail audiophile stuff is new to them as far as I can tell. Sonic has a number of early adopters who are getting the software to use with Weiss and Alpha DACs and some that are also getting the hardware unit. I cannot speak for the company but my guess is that they are getting some things worked out on the hardware and software ends during a limited launch. Good idea in my opinion.

That was my other guess. :b
