I wasn't expecting much, since I knew it would be all covers except Passive and the remix of Pet, but there are some decent songs worth listening to

Passive is awesome though, that song went into my regular dosage of APC

I didn't get the volume pot because it would have taken up too much space, which means Zemo would have had to use the longer hammond case. The gain is set so I get the full range of volume my ear needs without maxing the volume on the iHP out. And that mini to mini used to be a headphone cord, I think from some Beyers or something. A Head-Fi member included it with my Supermini buy a while back.

And thats funny you mentioned my non-braided Ety's, since I sent them an email a few days ago inquiring about the braided cord

Quick question, does anyone know the best retail store to get nice camera bags at? I like the looks of the Lowepro posted earlier in this thread. I'm thinking somewhere like a Circuit City or Best buy, where they have deparments designated for camera accessories, or maybe a Ritz camera. They might be overpriced though, so you think places like Wal-Mart and Target carry them?

Oh yeah, why isn't this thread a sticky

Wal-Mart and Target each sell a small variety of camera bags. Sadly there isn't much choice there aside from the rare gem. Best Buy or Circuit City would be better options from my experience.

I got my Lowepro from Ritz Camera in the mall. But bear in mind I actually
bought it for of all things, a camera.

They had a decent selection at the store I was in, but different areas, different stock I suppose. worth checking out if it isn't too much of a drive though.

When I went to Best Buy to get my Lowepro Z20, they had a pretty large selection of Lowepro bags and other camera bags in general. My Z20 was only like 10 or 11 bucks, and the rest seemed to have fairly good prices.

Darn, I didn't read this until today. I would have liked to have seen your bag. What model is it?

From left to right: sony D-66 eggos, Rio Karma, Koss Portapros, Diamond Rio PMP 300 (32 megs). Mostly I just wanted to show of the oldschool, and still working, PMP300.

That's the coolest picture in this thread.

Do you think it would hold an XP-7?

Indeed it is the Lowepro D-Res 30 AW Camera Bag, and I really should have put it on the table! Sorry it was in my bag with all the wrapping bubblewrap for the duration, since I took out my ipod and SR71. What I should have done in hindsight is just put the bag on the table with the ipod and SR71 hooked up to it as normal so people could have had a demo on how this stuff gets lugged around in everyday practical situations. The answer to that being - "very well!" In fact, it would have been fun to take pics of people slinging it over their shoulders to check comfort level, etc, which I find to be top notch.

erikzen,
I was looking at this bag at a local camera shop yesterday and the divider
in the back pocket is velco so it is moveable. I think you could fit the
XP7 in the back and the ipod in the front.

Jahn,
You were holding out on us at the meet by keeping the bag in hiding.
