Thanks I too love that ARC look, and the rackmount tabs. And it's cool that the front sort of matches my North Star.

I'm going to miss my PH3 when it goes away, and some of that is definitely the ARC look. At least I'm going to get some of that back on my Beta22 - it'll have love handles.

i bet if you got the correct sand paper and polishing compounds you could jewel the front of that case, jpak.

Yeah it's probably do-able. The hard part would be making all the wavy lines symmetrical, complicated by the fact that they're running horizontally and not vertically.

Excellent!

Since I only have 5 gigs left on my internal drive, I bought an external:

Seagate FreeAgent 500GB

I like that it turns on and off automatically with the computer. I have to flip enough switches as it is everytime I sit in front of the computer (CPU, Monitor, cdp, integrated amp, headphone amp, unmute button on phono stage, turntable).

But don't tube amps round off the edge of a clipped sine wave?

No, they add a bit of euphony to proverbially take the edge off, but they don't literally take the edge off. Think, "beer goggles".

Pelikan M1000. Its the one at the top. After over a year of collecting fountain pens, I've finally upgraded to the top of the line in the Pelikan Souveran series. Deal came up I couldn't resist.

Tkam's beautiful amp "The Dragon".

Thanks Todd. Can't wait to pair it with my L3000s

Congrats Laine, should be a sweet amp for the leatherheads!

Thanks Deepak. I'm curious on how the sound stage will sound. Have a good one.

Just signed the P&S for a condo... Closing isn't for 6 weeks or so, but that's still 2 to 3 years + 6 weeks sooner than I thought something like this might happen, so I'm pretty excited.

A credit report, since a simple loan increase I applied for was rejected. I've had a perfect credit history, so I was a little confused. Turns out I cosigned for a 40K loan back in 2003 through Scotiabank. Funny, since I've never set foot in a Scotiabank...

Oh, shit! I hope you get that sorted out, identity theft sucks.

I doubt it's that, just comes with the territory when your name is Jason Smyth. Would be even worse if my last name was spelt with an I. I'm sure they will sort it out.

I've actually had it happen before, though on a smaller scale. When I applied for my student line of credit they rejected it because of $5k owed on a Sears card... It was easy to prove that it wasn't me in that case as I would have been 14 when I incurred the debt. I just told the lady on the phone to have a look at the date and my birth date and she just laughed and removed it from my record.

I put a down payment for some mystery headphones. And bought the remainder of the parts for d'amp.

The mystery ain't so mysterious.

I know it's a joke, keeping with the Head-Case mystery them right?

6 weeks till the mini-meet, WOOT!

Congrats on your big purchase. I'm very happy for you

Congrats, dude! And I concur with Nate's suggestion - mini-meet!

So my K271 and ER4 filters arrived today from TTVJ. Then I remembered that I also needed ER4 tips. Stupid me.

Thanks everyone. Still can't believe I'm moving to Maine, but it's just over the river and less than a mile from where I am in NH now, so I it shouldn't be too big of a change

And yeah, I'll actually have a place big enough to host a mini meet! Nice!

So are you going to paint your new place with that Chilipepper Red paint?

I'm changing my mind on colors every day. Not good considering I have 2 weeks to wrap things up!
