Congrats on good Apple Karma Al and congrats on the A5s Vicki.

Jacob, do you listen to XM pop radio?

Nice!

Daddy needs his whisk(e)y!

I still haven't opened the Eagle Rare 17. Seeing as my Stagg is almost all gone, I guess I better give it a shot! Plus, I seem to have magically scored a High West Rendezvous so I want to crack that one as well.

Congrats Al! Quite the deal!

Congrats Vicki! Interested in your impressions, since I have the A 2 now and have the same feelings for them. Liveable but not inspiring.

Very nice Vicki and Dinny!

Glad you like the board Jacob.

I just ordered a Tom Bihn Tri-Star in Black/Iberian along with a million packing cubes and organizer pouches. I will decide which I like best between that and the Aeronaut and my husband can use the other. I though about waiting for Indigo but I don't like waiting and I am worried about the Indigo showing too much dirt.

Deal. I have some older Chardonnays and one Pinot left but I have no idea what vineyards they are so I will have to check when the weather gets a little warmer. The Pinots are drinking pretty spectacular now so you might want to pop one on your next visit. Given what you just posted perhaps I should look around in my locker to see if I can dig up a Vine Hill, if I find one I will let you know what I think.

I have subscribed to your various newsletters and look forward to the reviews to come. Shelly, that Black/Iberian tristar is exactly what I want.

Early this AM bought a Verizon iPhone for my wife for her birthday. Decent deal I guess, $199 for the 32GB because she hadn't upgraded her bb since 1975. I hope she likes it because she is such a bb addict. However, so was I and now I can't imagine going back.

EDIT: And they're not shipping until the 18th and I can't find one in NYC with the same online deal so FUCK YOU Verizon and Apple.

Dinny, I picked one up this week, went for the 32G as well. New Hampshire had their share. BTW, I paid $299 since my upgrade time wasn't there yet.

Nice gift for the wife, I think she'll love it. My wife uses a BB for work, does a lot with it. But she uses an itouch I gave her at home a lot, too, and likes that a lot.

What is this thing? A parachute of some kind?

Yup. Can't wait to jump it, if only these damn winds would knock it off.

Cool. Makes me wish I had tried the Apple store again, but I don't think I would have received the sweet deal.

What's the warranty like on those things?

damn mike, you're on a watch buying tear.

Wow Mike that is one nice watch!

Dinny, you are such a nice husband and so near Valentines day too, nice two-fer. You should now buy yourself a present for being such a good hubby, no wait you already did.

damn mike, you're on a watch buying tear.

I think there is another one that I didn't post.

Mike, as you know, I'm not exactly a watch person, but I really like that one.

Mike, I really like the one you posted in #20236. What is it? Resco?

Thanks Vicki. It's called a Stowa Flieger. There are a bunch of watch companies that make similar models.

Pars, here is the website which tells the story: http://www.rescowatch.com/

It seems that if I don't spend all my money on audio gear, I can get some other stuff.

Nice watch Mike!

I'm jealous. Great screen res on that critter.

Does it have Toslink out?

Does it have Toslink out?

The screen res is the main reason I got it. No Blu-Ray drive, and I don't think it's hdcp compliant, so I'm going to have to figure out how to use linux to rip to hard drive to watch blu-rays (I've got a blu-ray drive in my main computer). No Toslink out, but it does have 4 USB ports, which is the way of the future, I think.

This just showed up on my doorstep

Along with the remote

Too early to tell but it is certainly at least as good as the DACmagic. The build quality is certainly better than the DACmagic.
