After ages at the local club trying to figure it all out, and taking the wife for auditions....bought a gun.

Had to find one that's legal in Cali and Nevada (Nevada is not the problem, let me assure you.) It/they is/are going to be the Beretta PX4 Storm (midsize, or "compact," but not the little one) for our 9mm and a Kimber Custom TLR RL II with a rail for the .45.

I just know once we start using one gun every time, my wife is going to leave me in the dirt at accuracy....she's as good as I am now and her technique is perfect. She is really a fine shooter.

I've inherited a Revox B77 reel to reel deck in excellent condition. If I'm going to add it to my collection of audio toys I'll need a supply of blank tapes. Can anyone recommend a supplier, if there are any left? Thanks.

Great stuff.

My December issue is at home....

...but I won't be for 8 long days, filled with antici......

.......

.......pation!

I was gonna have the wife Fed Ex it to me, but that would cost more than the issue.

But, the damned Barnes and Noble here in godforsaken Chico doesn't have it yet!

using process of elimination, i narrowed it down to 7 possible records of the 2 i had to choose for my records 2 die 4 in our upcoming February issue.

if you had to pick 2, and only 2 records TO DIE FOR

(MWAHHAHA!)
what would they be?

ok...

with all the lore I could gather in my previous post regarding the purchase of a pair of speakers to pair a NAD c320 amp with... I took a walk to a nearby well reputed High end shop which is "Werner". In fact, and to be honest... I was just walking by and chose to step inside, instead of away. Anyway, I was there and my wife was there and a Kind employee was there also...

I blabbered out things as if I knew what I was blabbering about and amidst the blabbering the guy got the point, aimed and fired well below the floating line.

I'm seriously considering the SB as a receiver to digital-out to port files into the DAC of my Playback Designs MPS-5. I was almost ready to order based on Kal's review when I read several negative reviews at Amazon citing very poor performance at handling LossLess files. I have a mix of FLAC and LossLess files, so this would be a serious issue for me.

Kal, did you try the SB with any LossLess files?

Thanks,

Dave

sucks.

not!

i fell in love with jazz and hip-hop on the same night, where Tribe Called Quest and John Coltrane both walked into my life. What a lovely pairing - i'm sure the artistic rap super-group and the sax god would have loved to jam together. I mean, it was Ron Carter playing the bass on their record "Low End Theory" so they're most certainly down with the jazzbos .

anyway, just thought i'd share my thoughts.
