Ah, well I guess the Moon will still be default then. At least until the reviewing and redesigning process is rounded off completely.

Wise choice to get all those opamps, you're basically buying three DACs in one then.

does the audio-gd aftermarket cable make that big of a difference?


Apparently it makes a difference. If that difference is worth 60$ to you, you can only find out by trying it.

I think the final results of the last gain poll have not been published yet.

The chinese in the pic with the doves and the earth says something to the same effect as "epic review".

The women is actually an ad

They (peete and the other guy from audio-gd [which i assume is King wa]) replaced that ad with the audio-gd one. You'll get it if you see the rest of the pics in the cartoon

Is there anything relevant written in the Chinese script of the first cartoon? Or is that just the artists name in characters?

And what the hell is that woman doing in the dumpster in the second one?? (Or is that just my sick interpretation?)

I can do that, although based on the past polls I don't expect it to change much over night. I started it around 10-10:30 PM so I can call an end to it in the morning after I get up (so that probably gives it another 9-10 hours since I won't get to it right away).

I have to give Big D credit for that one, he schooled me about them.

Peete.



This is what I was told in an email from Kingwa yesterday...

Ah, thanks! I don't know if I'm relieved or disappointed now. Being familiar with Hong Kong horror movies I had expected some more weirdness.

I'll bet Hong Kong Horror Films would be real interesting! Do you have a Western name for one that would be a good representative?

Big D?? Now why does that immediately conjure up the image of an enormous guy with even bigger gold chains.

Personally the flavor of wacky Japanese cinema (mostly horror but others as well) appeals to me more (Miike! -- see avatar!) but I do love asian cinema of all kinds.

For something that will turn your stomach around a few times: Rikki-O: The Story of Ricky.

For some classic and hilarious Kung Fu-horror: Mr. Vampire (make sure to get the first one)

For something more in the Japanese style: The Eye

Admittedly, I'm more at home in classic Kung Fu.

That's fine. Get some sleep and when you're back online, just shut down the survey. That should be enough time for those interested to speak up and vote.

BTW, were the poll results for the gain settings revealed?
