I just saw this and unfortunately I have other plans and can't make it.

I think I need to listen to this sometime. Maybe after taxes are done. Sounds like a great amp.

I have a question about the Nikon NEF file. I have found that there is a jpeg image file embedded in the NEF file. I also found a little program for extracting it. My question is the jpeg made with the same settings as the raw file or is it the same as you would get if you shot NEF+jpeg? Also is...

Deftly slipping the topic away from lenses a minute. When using the AF feature do you select your focus point or let the auto setting handle it? I have had a few shots where it wanted to select the wrong point. Perhaps I should practice selecting for myself. Also what do you all think about...

Sometimes it is not all about you. Step back and think about your friends and family and how they will suffer if you are gone. Take some time off relax and reflect on your life and take the steps to get healthy. You obviously have some decisions to make and I hope you think more about your...

Well after 39 years of shotting film on a myriad of SLR cameras I have made the move to digital. I started out with a small Lumix and was pleased with the results. A week ago I ordered a D90 and after charging the battery I had time last night to take a couple of shots outside before the...

Well now that I have been playing with my Panasonic DMC-FX35 for many months I am thinking of getting a DSLR. I have narrowed my choices to the new D3000 the D5000 or the D90. Not sure I need video capability. What am I really loosing by going with the D3000. Flash Sync speed seems like one...

I like to cook corn quickly with the husks off. The sugar quickly caramelizes and the corn tastes great with a little butter salt and pepper. Another thing we have done for a long time is grind our own meat for burgers. I normally use a mixture of chuck and round steak especially when there...

Well now I need to go get it and see for myself. I hope it is an eqquipment problem and not the CD.

Duplicity 7.5/10 Reader 9.5/10 Watchmen 9/10 3 hours is a long time to sit but a great movie. Taken 8/10

I would not worry about built in recipes; too limiting. Here is the scale I have and a site that has more scales than you know existed. My Weigh iBalance 5000 (i5000)

For the past several years I have for the most part been on the outside looking in. I stop by every so often when I have had a moment while delayed at one airport or another. I even managed to make it to the big San Jose meet; seems so long ago. During this time I have lost contact with friends...

Quote: Originally Posted by Skylab You can get RCA 6AS7G's for way less than $24/tube. But do they have to be matched? They do not need to be matched luckily. The tubes currently are Sovtek and I would wonder if there would be any changes if manufacturers were mixed? I have not...

If they all had to be replaced it would a little over $800. Luckily they can be swapped out one at a time if need be. I have had them for about 5 years with no failures to date. 28 6AS7G @ $24/tube = $672 8 6SN7GT @ $19/tube = $152

Here are a couple of shots from my amp. The tubes are 6AS7G's from Sovtek. A little closer

No I did not go. After seeing the sight lines from the stands I am glad I didn't. It was a spectacle but not really the venue to watch hockey. I prefer the seat I get at the stadium when I go with a friend of mine who has had season tickets for over 40 years. The seats are 13 rows from the glass...

Well I stayed up and watched the Hawks beat San Jose last night. It is amazing that at this point in the season it is only the second home loss for the Sharks. They out shot the Hawks but our goalie saved the day. Watching them play San Jose and Detroit I think the Hawks are getting close to...
