You do know that Justin and HeadAmp have difficulty releasing their high-end amps in a timely fashion, don't you? I hope you can hold out under the pressure of waiting to show off with a photo-filled look-at-me thread, unlike some fine upstanding headphone amp purchasers.

I'll try to listen in the next few days and let you know. Ditto on the good JD get, Deepak. The originals are very cool, but I have yet to compare with the reissues.

No shit! I saw Frissell at the Vanguard the weekend of the first national head-fi meet. Only time I have been there.

Just got the Moanin' today so I haven't even opened it up. I have yet to open the Silver and the Brooks from Music Matters, so I better get on the stick!

Just received Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers Moanin, Fred Jackson Hootin' N Tootin', all on 45RPM by Hoffman/Gray for Analogue Productions.

You had already changed the date, so what does it matter that I didn't point it out? I don't intend to continue this dialog at all, but if you didn't want to have this type of public exchange, then maybe you could have sent Grahame a PM instead of posting commentary on both sites. And as for smilies setting the tone, I don't think that saying something you really mean and then sticking a tongue smily at the end changes it one bit. Check your email because I sent you some comments on your contract with the hotel. Have a great meet.

They are pictured in their correct orientation, so they look like they are lying on their side but they are not. Seems pretty stable to me. The main question would be whether your speaker is wide enough to sit on the two end pieces.

Maybe -=she=- would be up for taking the lead organizing role!

Come on David, if you really think that this meet is a dry run for CJ09 then you had better do a lot more advertising and hyping. I can see it as a way to energize the so-cal folks who haven't had a real meet in two years, but you cannot expect it to draw more than a couple of people from nor cal or anywhere else. I was thinking of trying to make the 25th into some kind of family trip to Disneyland (which we had discussed as a possibility this Fall) with a side-trip for me but then you changed the date late in the game to a weekend where I was already committed. Such is life, but don't try to guilt Grahame or me or anybody else because the local meets 300 miles apart now happen to fall on the same day. If you want to create divisions, then you're doing a good job.

Not bloody likely. Quite bloody likely.

Grahame did say he wanted to have a meet on this date -- the day before Burning Amp in Marin -- before you set Oct. 25 as a So-Cal meet date and even longer before you moved the date to Oct. 18. I don't think this small event will impact your meet at all, and we can have fun with it by playing it up as a state-wide event. Or, you could continue to post snarky comments here and on HF. Your choice.

That is a very helpful comparison, Ric, typos or no. And in any event, it's not like a mitchb post or anything, so you don't need to advertyiose it.

I've been using mine problem-free for years although I don't run so much as waddle.

Jeez, JP and I coming from across the country didn't even deserve a single

Ever more epic...

Probably?

Sad to say, but JP and I will be there so there is absolutely no chance of a dry meet. Booked the tickets with a companion fare deal from AmEx. About 2 bills each. Not sure how I decided this one, but when my wife simply rolled her eyes and put it on her iPhone calendar I figured I better go with it... Anyway, never been to Tampa and never met Jacob, so now it is essential that you go.

Hope you had a good one! Cheers!

Welcome to Head-Case fellows. The DIY 300B looks grand , Parafeed. Nice work. The SinglePower MPX3 was originally all 6SN7 for gain and output, and it is an OTL design. Not sure if anyone has replicated it or traced the circuit anywhere. You could dig around or ask around to see. Good luck.

Republican No. 2. From this: To this: Sweet jesus they are desparate.

Holy fuck that's a lot of CDs!

Mind control cans.

Yeah, it is stupid the way that they are setting it up. There will be an additional charge of $2-3/month and you get some of the Sirius content but I am not sure all of it. In the end I assume they are going to collapse it down and end up with a combination.

I thought I talked Numbers off the ledge on this one last night! But I'm still curious, what was the magix, Dan?
