Who will be the first to post from RMAF with the news on what is new for Schiit? Hopefully with pics.

Exactly. Echoes is an epic song.

Merry Christmas to all!

RIP Walter. Back when the discussion was going on about what five albums to take to the island, Aja was the first one that came instantly to mind for me. A lot of great music from Steely Dan.

He's saying that he has tried the Win7 drivers available on the Schiit site, but then he doesn't get ASIO when using the Gen 2_1.16 drivers. So then he went with the alternate Win 7 Gen 2 driver 1.03, but says it looks like something is missing when checking the device list. Would be worthwhile...

  I just did the same. I'd been wanting to grab a Mimby for awhile, and once I saw the black was available I jumped on it. I'll use it with my vintage Sansui AU-717 integrated amp in my 2-channel system, so the black should pair well. My Modi 2U/Magni 2U will be posted in the For Sale section soon.

Not a problem at all. Hope to get out that way again sometime. My son is currently deployed, but his home base is Cannon AFB in NM, so should get out west upon his return.

Air Force. Was at March AFB until July 1982, and then worked running an air separation plant in Daggett for a few years. Loved the area, and could definitely see myself living in the Mojave desert in retirement.

My personal favorite back in the day was a Pioneer CT-F1000, and the tapes actually sounded quite good in the car stereo. Wow, what a blast from the past!

I wish I could be in the L.A. area tomorrow, or any day for that matter. I did live in Riverside and Yermo in a past life however!

Sad indeed. At a selling price of $5.00, can you imagine what it cost to make them? Probably under $2.00.

I'm still kicking myself for selling my Pioneer Spec system on fleabay a decade or so ago, but still love having a 2-channel system in addition to headphone setups. I definitely plan on grabbing a Saga, but will wait until I can get the Vidar at the same time. I'm currently using a Sansui AU-717...

  Lovin' the Spec-1 and Spec-4 in the background.

  Now we're talking!

The only place I want to move to is Singapore! LOL.

I hope you enjoy them!

Amazon has them for $287.95 right now. The lowest they've been for quite some time on there.  ...

The fear of a short lifespan for OLED is overexaggerated IMO, at least for the TV's. The tech has advanced over the last couple of years, and will continue to.   A quote from an LGE representative earlier this year:  "The life expectancy of LG OLED is 30K hours to 50K hours to half brightness...

Sounds like a candidate for some Deoxit.   http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/the-idiots-guide-to-using-deoxit-revisited.207005/

You don't often see a CT-F1000 with a wood cabinet either. A great cassette deck IMO.

Nice looking Kenny, Oregonian!

I also recently upgraded from a Modi to a Modi 2 Uber, and I'll echo what bigro stated. The Modi was a very good piece of equipment, but the 2 Uber is even better still, and at what is still a very nice price imo.   I do listen to my headphones through my Magni 2 Uber, but I listen to my...

A couple of sites to take a look at what a resto of the AU-717 can involve -   http://www.stereo.net.au/forums/index.php?/topic/45189-sansui-au717-restoration/   http://liquidaudio.com.au/sansui-au-717-amplifier-repair-restoration/

You may want to ask if the output transistors were looked at/checked. Even if they are good, it would be nice if they had been removed, cleaned, and new heatsink compound applied when reinstalling.   Other items to ask about would be if the speaker protection relay was checked, and if the bias...
