  Saw a video on BBC where they chucked boiling water into the air and it froze before it hit the ground!

 You folks have to take care with those temperatures! If anyone is running super cooled experiments, now might be a good time!

Just think of all the money one could save on skipping the liquid nitrogen.
Bliksem, it's cold.

That's a hardcore rig you're going to have. Do share with impressions.

Thanks zoom25... Yeah i really hope it will be as stellar as i expect it to be.... As the rig i sold was extremely good already..i will keep the expressions that i had with that rig to compare it with my new rig... The bar is really high! But again reading about the guy who is buIlding my amp makes me believe it could be something special i will be getting..and in future i can easily transform it i to a battery powered/solar energy powered amp...i just have to sent it back to him and pay..is that green or what? :D

And u guys all know the builder of my new headphone..LFF ..who also made the world happy with his excellent Paradox headphone..So u can say i am on a skyhigh slope ready to dive into a deeeeeeeeep unknown swimmingpool..but if my intuition is right (as it was with my 337 and he500..which i both bought without listening!) and if i did my homework right..then it will be a extremely satisfying and LOOOOOONg swim.. :D

Believe is the key word in life my friend!  Just like in the song "I believe I can fly...I believe i can touch the sky..."

You got to fly there first and then get to kiss it or whatever next.

I better not kiss the headphone as its real wood..it could damage the protection..and even worse..the amp is stainless steel..and we all know if u kiss that it gives stains on the surface..so better only look at it and listen to it :D

Just heard the powersupply case will also have a illluminated blue circle in front...for esthetics sake..so it paires well with the front of the amp..as they will be placed side by side. :wink:
Now i think of it..need to make room for those two cases..AND the PLC thingee FX2 conditioner. Will be crowdy on my desk next to my lappie. :D

Now you just need a Macbook Air to create more room and for better aesthetics.

You know what? I ended up installing win7 on my macbook pro and I don't really regret it. My next computer will be a pc, to hell with aesthetic. The only thing I'll really miss is the more-than-excellent touchpad. It's really, really good as I prefer it over a mouse.

You zapped OSX as in sayonara or installed Windoze in a virtualized environment?

I dont think a bigger desk then the one i have now (ex-microsoft office desk i bought when they moved to another building.. It was a steal compared to what these extremely heavy professional desks go for nowadays!)

Just to give u an idea how full my desk is and the surroundings..my apologies for the mess and the bad quality of piccs (i made them with my ipad 3 :D
