Sorry, I thought I gave you guys enough time to catch a red-eye flight to Ohio.

For those of you that live in NE Ohio, Audio Technica is having a warehouse sale tomorrow (12/13) from 8-3. It was today also, starting at 10 and ending at 8. I got there right at 10 and there was no parking...they were directing parking into the docks. There must have been 50-75 people ahead of...

I put the frybaby (Hagerman Technology LLC: FryBaby Portable Burn-In and Cable Break-In Generator DIY Kit) and XLO burn-in track on my Squeezebox, set on repeat for a couple hundred hours, to burn in the Glow amp to nice effect.

Maybe it's just the W1000's are not a good match for the Glow (although the 6 moons review mentioned nothing of the sort)? JonL once told me the W1000's would probably not be a good match for the Almarro a205a, so it would kind of make sense, I guess. Perhaps I'll see if I can trade/sell the...

I have around 200 hours (almost 24-7 for 8-9 days) on speakers, but very little time on headphones because the hum was pretty loud. I thought it might just be a bad match b/w the W1000's and the amp, but the 6 moon review has made me think there might be a defect. Hopefully Glow will get around...

OK, maybe you guys can help me ('cause Glow won't...I've sent 3 emails in the last 9 days w/ no replies ). My Glow has a loud hum out of the headphone jack w/ my ATH-W1000's (I can't hear it if I turn up the music loud enough, but during low passages or w/ the volume all the way down it is quite...

Any more thoughts on this puppy?

Anyone get to listen to it at CanJam? Thoughts?
