thebes...Just saying, you are always bringing light into my mind.... :) Illuminating the dark corners of your carapace is one of my specialties. You hit the nail on the head.... a bony or chitinous shield, test, or shell covering some or all of the dorsal part of an animal, as of a turtle.

Absolutely Agree with this statement.

How the hell is everyone??? It's Flipping Friday!!!!!! Work Sucked all Week long....Here's a toast to all here Cheers... :emotion-22:

Nice Erik, Gotta say I'm jealous...I'm using his GG Preamp and SOB. I've been wanting his Masterpiece for some time now. http://www.transcendentsound.com/Masterpiece.html

Happy Purchase on your new laptop duder.

I got very lucky as I did not invest in LP's or CD's back in my earlier days. If I paid a premium for my current downloads than at least it wasn't a double whammy for nothing....Going forward I will find a used CD, rip it to AIFF and be done...Chris, I wish I had the time to do the things you are doing :)

I can recommend this.... ASUS...I purchased an ASUS 13.3-inch Touchscreen Convertible Notebook last year with Windows 7 64bit OS 8 GB of ram and a 500GB HD. It had the latest 5th Gen Intel Broadwell Core i5-5200U processor.... I will say this, I wish I had gotten the 15 inch version, also, It came with all the crap ware, So I downloaded a Windows 10 ISO and did a complete OS install, Reformatted the HD and only installed the OS and drivers. This made a big difference in the speed at which it turns on and such. I bought my daughter the same one for college. Did the same exact thing to hers, installing a fresh OS. Then loaded an Office Suite for her. She loves it as it can be both a laptop and a tablet.... Always Always get the most bang for your buck....Shop everywhere and compare with Amazon for whatever your looking for. Bust Buy and NFM may not have the newest available as they are trying to get rid of stocked items... I have done refurbished before, not Lenovo and they can be great just watch the warranty,... I read an article a couple of weeks back about catastrophic SSD failure rates verses SATA drives...I cannot remember where I found it but SSD isn't good when it comes to catastrophic failure rates.

This is very interesting High-Resolution Audio Demystified

Simply this http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/contemplation

Big difference "Cost" using tubes for a Home Theater vs 2 Channel listening....I don't have a home theater....I have a TV that outputs through a pair of Audioengine 5 + speakers. My main 2 channel system for music reproduction is spectacular. :)

Tubes do sound better....I can honestly say this for two channel listening... I'm sure my Transcendent Sound SOB OTL would walk all over a lot of SS amps. My 2 cents worth.... :)

Per CharlieM at TS Forum I really like the way you have fitted everything into the two amps' cases, eliminating the extra case for a power supply. Looking forward to seeing your Push Pull higher powered 300B. Forum discussion http://tubehifi.websitetoolbox.com/post/new-300b-web-page-up-8043332

Not affiliated but thought I'd post for those interested in building their own OTL http://www.transcendentsound.com/300B_OTL.html

My second wife didn't like going to concerts "my favorite is to catch a Blues Band Playing at 21st Saloon in Omaha...Took second wife once to a show when Chris Duarte was playing....Her words "This Sucks" Again my second Wife

I thought you don't discuss it? I don't, It is more of a mind thinker....Sleep on it...

BigStewMan, Your family isn't strange at all, I couldn't help but chuckle at this.... :) One day at the cemetery, my Aunt sees her sister-in-law there. She tells me that she wonders if her brother died and nobody told her. Instead of going up to her sister-in-law, she decides to go to the cemetery office, give her brother’s name, and ask if he’s buried there. he wasn’t...he was still alive.

Per Wikipedia Left-Right politics...Now the last thing I am is Political, I hate it and don't discuss it and put it right up there with organized Religion. Which are the worst of the two evils????? I wouldn't want to be classified in either. Amongst published researchers, there is agreement that the Left includes anarchists, communists, socialists, progressives, anti-capitalists, anti-imperialists, anti-racists, democratic socialists, greens, left-libertarians, social democrats, and social liberals.[5][6][7] Researchers have also said that the Right includes fascists, racists, Nazis, capitalists, conservatives, monarchists, nationalists, neoconservatives, neoliberals, reactionaries, imperialists, right-libertarians, social authoritarians, religious fundamentalists, and traditionalists.[8] Which one are you?

Cheers All, :emotion-22: Got Humble Pie Smokin' playing and downing a few of these
