What are the benefits of a 'stepped attenuator'?
I've got both a DACT CT2 attenuator and the "KYC111" attenuator and I can say that while the KYC111 unit is a well built , quality unit, the DACT definitely has a more transparent sound. Plus, the switches used by the DACT result in very smooth and silent operation. The DACT may cost more than...- BoyElroy

Your favorite school reading
Hey Braver-- I've really gotten into the singer, Fay Lovsky, recently. She's Dutch, isn't she? And if she is Dutch, is she pretty well known? I also love the illustrator who does her album art!- BoyElroy

Worst Traffic/Car/Motorcycle Accident You've been In
Quote: Then, I finally keeled over at the truck. When I woke up, I tried to drive to the main highway, but passed out again and ended up in a ditch. So, this one was a combination car/motorcycle accident. Anyway, I survived, but barely. --Demolition Must be a hockey player, eh...- BoyElroy

Worst Traffic/Car/Motorcycle Accident You've been In
About five or six years ago, I was bringing my motorcycle into the gated courtyard behind my building at 4:00 am. I turned off the engine and was astride my bike when I heard a noise and noticed a couple lying no more than four feet away from me, in the middle of the alley, having sex. The lower...- BoyElroy

Worst Traffic/Car/Motorcycle Accident You've been In
Just wondering what sort of accidents my fellow hi-fi'ers have been in. Circumstances, blame, results, advice? My personal worst was on my motorcycle a few years back. I'd just rebuilt my fork suspension and some fluid had leaked onto my front disc brake. As luck would have it, later that...- BoyElroy

Anyone likes Sherlock Holmes ?!
I downloaded most, if not all, of Doyle's Holmes stories into my PDA and whenever I'm stuck on a train or an airport, I'll pass the time away reading up on his latest adventures. He's a surprisingly dark character in the original stories; much more complex than he's shown to be on film and TV.- BoyElroy

Apology to Jan Meier
No offense to anyone here, but maybe it's time for a Moderator to bring this thread to a timely close. Everyone seems to have had their say and there's not much more to be gained in further open discussion.- BoyElroy

Apology to Jan Meier
Quote: I'm agreeing with Philodox on this one. Frankly, I think both Jan and Pinkie handled this matter unprofessionally. I will say this however, I've not lost respect for either of you. We all have our bad days. I'm German btw, and have been called worse by Brits. Heck, I've been called...- BoyElroy

Apology to Jan Meier
Quote: In this case, Jan did not offer a comparable product (i.e. a stand alone crossfeed) -- BoyElroy Yeah, he did. The Corda Cross-1. - Chris Oh. That does change things a bit, then.- BoyElroy

Apology to Jan Meier
One crucial question to ask in any copyright violation case is, was any harm done to the holder of the copyright? In this case, Jan did not offer a comparable product (i.e. a stand alone crossfeed) and the economic damage he may have suffered through the actions of Pinky would be hard to...- BoyElroy

Lord of the Rings - Did the Elf and the Dwarf Ditch the Babe?
Thanks guys, I think you've cleared up a few things for me. Alas, I would've still kept my options open, if I were her. Talk about bad risk management....- BoyElroy

Just got iHP-140, so far, _not_ impressed
I just got an IHP140 today and had a similar prob. with a "non existent" device. I had to go into the WinXP device manager and manually install the IHP-140 as a USB mass storage device and then everything went hunky dory.- BoyElroy
