Can't make it, I'm afraid. Am also pretty much gearless at the moment, so you guys won't be missing out on anything. Have a nice one, though /JF

To summarize, everything has gone to hell since my last post and I won't be organizing anything. It's unlikely that I will be even able to participate before May. Sorry again for the inconvenience and lack of updates, I barely have time to scan "dedicated sources" these days. /JF

While I have a view in this matter, I will refrain from commenting due to the "no politics" rule in this forum. /JF

I'm interested in the 840c mostly because of the digital inputs, which the 640c doesn't have. If the DAC capability is more than just a hard-to-use marketing trick, it might be just the thing for me. /JF

I had to switch to speakers when I could no longer use headphones for extended periods after a jaw operation. The sound isn't quite what I get with the HD 580s, especially low end definition, but I suppose I'll get there eventually. Placement and stuff like that is a major bore with speakers...

If you're not against a little vocals with your trance, Assemblage 23's albums and Parallel Project's Fusion might be worth checking out. Depending on how far you're willing to stretch from the "normal" trance, the whole Futurepop genre has some real pearls by groups such as VNV Nation and...

I was under the impression that you didn't have to move the tracks to the 640H to play them in the first place. That does sound strange, wonder what's wrong? /JF

Thanks again, lan! (Well, I probably shouldn't thank you, since I now want a Spitfire really really badly... ) /JF
