June 16, 201016 yr comment_363788 Thanks folks, I might take the plunge. Going to Win7-64 is a good excuse to get that 4Gb RAM upgrade I've been hankering for as well I'm running Win 7 x64 on my laptop and it's solid as a rock. ZERO problems ever. Vista, what were they thinkin' when they released that POS! No comparison to 7. Report

June 17, 201016 yr comment_364029 Pretty damn good deal on Shun Ken Onion knife set on Woot. Two of the knives are serrated, though. [url=http://www.woot.com/]Woot Report
June 17, 201016 yr comment_364037 The serrated knives is an issue for me. I've been advised that knives have been bought for me but I've also been told they are not the ones I want but are returnable. Report
June 17, 201016 yr comment_364038 Agreed (in regards to the serrated knives). If it weren't for those two serrated knives in the set, I'd have bought them a second, even though we already have few Shun Classic knives. Report
June 17, 201016 yr comment_364059 I have that Shun K.O. kit, and have no issues with the serrateds. Great for what they are designed for ... slicing. Nothing better for tomatoes, bread, roast beef, ham, turkey, etc. It is a great deal for the set. I do, however have a problem with the steel ... thrown in for American sensibilities, as I think "real' japanese knife users would never touch their blades with one. Report
June 17, 201016 yr comment_364060 I have a Henckel knife set with 2 serrated blades. one for bread and one serrated 5" utility/Tomato Slicer knife. They are absolutely fabulous knives. They are a pain to sharpen, but well worth it when sharp and used properly. Even though they are serrated, they are sharp as Razors. They are hollow ground serrations. Report
June 17, 201016 yr comment_364122 That's probably true, but I can say that cutting bread with the sharp serrated bread knife is pretty snazzy! Report
June 19, 201016 yr comment_364779 Emotiva Audio: Audiophile Quality Multi Channel Amplifiers, Stereo Preamplifiers, Audio/Video Processors, and Award Winning Speaker Systems At Direct Prices Emotiva July 4th sale just started 10% off all products 20% off cables free shipping free t-shirt Report
June 19, 201016 yr comment_364807 Indeed, it's pretty darn good. I wonder if the 10% and free shipping applies to B-Stock items as well, I'm thinking yes. B-stock items aren't listed on their site but I called a couple days ago and know they have an XPA-2 for $699, which comes out to $629.10 with free shipping. Report

June 22, 201016 yr comment_365441 Of course the Emotiva deal doesn't include the UMC-1, which is what I've been teetering on the edge about ordering for several months. Maybe I'll order a 5 channel amp that I'll need when the UMC-1 starts shipping. Report
June 22, 201016 yr comment_365443 In case anyone was wondering, the deal doesn't include B-stock items; I called to ask and they said no. In other news I picked up an UPA-1. Report
June 22, 201016 yr comment_365478 In other news I picked up an UPA-1. Cool, what are you gonna drive with it? Center channel, I presume. Report
June 22, 201016 yr comment_365506 Cool, what are you gonna drive with it? Center channel, I presume. You're correct Report
June 22, 201016 yr comment_365509 As for the speaker it's currently an old Energy center channel but once I get the time I'll be building a ZA5.3c MTM Center channel to replace it; hopefully I can tint my cherry veneer to the reddish-orange color that my AU265's have. Report
June 22, 201016 yr comment_365641 The Outlaws will be launching our own fireworks celebration this Independence Day with huge savings on all of our "Made in America" multi-channel power amplifiers.

The 7-channel Model 7200 is priced at $1,387, a savings of $462.
