Is this something new and the email beat the website update? Or is this marketing the old?

Look closely. New casing, now with remote, NOS mode.

Very curious about the NOS mode as well.

That's why I legit don't take vacations :)

You got back on so that you have the money to go back to Spain/Italy. :)

If it seems fine I wouldn't be TOO concerned. Main concern with impact damage on a hard drive is that the drive heads will make contact with the magnetic platters, and if that didn't happen you should be fine

In particular heads hitting a spinning platter is very bad, but in an unpowered drive the heads should be "parked" and less sensitive to impact. Also, the packaging has done its job, like the crumple zones on a car, so much better than an impact to a bare HDD. I'd do a scan for bad sectors and check the SMART info before you reshape/rebuild your RAID with it, but probably nothing to worry about.

@Kernel Kurtz gives solid advice.

I feel like I'm shifting this around every 10 minutes...

I hope you’re doing ok and i wish all the best for your family.

i hope your struggle resolves soon. Warm regards

Appreciate the kind words... close call, but things will be ok.

Invite me to the Island, I can be free and be shirtless.

Maybe the island measured poorly.

Congrats. I feel the same with that combo and my Kenzie Ovation

I feel that all my headphone rigs have finally achieved synergy to my ears. Very happy, but having a hard time picking one to listen to... Going to sell off stuff that didn't fit after the New Year

For a couple of hours out of the whole year we are the people that we always hoped we would be.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you & yours as well!

If you like it and you want it, you'll get greedy for it!

nvm... finally found it on the right side menu...

Can I call you the b word?

I wonder what the biggest Dm group chat looks like

While I realize those in the hurricane areas are used to it, the storm was a real eye opener in the NE

I watched it from my hotel in Queens last night, and drove thru some of the aftermath today. Really amazing... and the images of Philly are really stunning. I-676 I drive all the time... just... wow

Ampandsound amps sure do react favorably to different rectifier and pre-amp tubes. Enjoy!

I stop there everytime I'm in Philly... absolutely the best. Tony Luke's is a distant 2nd for my tastes

I'm with ya. That or there's a couple good places for panini & sandwiches around the Italian Market

I just need to take my time and figure crap out. T=slow blow. Google is my friend

Understandable. I also freaked out when I blew the fuse on my Starlett and there was no power.

damn that took a long time to find online. Tried amazon, what a mess. Should have just gone to digikey to start with... now I'm without my home headphone rig until the end of next week... double sigh...

Yep I'm a homebody. I don't like traveling even when there aren't any breakdowns,delays, sucky/loud hotels...

Tell me more

Not American, never been there, so hey, probably skip this, but...

Seems to me that, regardless of the political future, there is currently a job to be done in America. That job requires a guy who reeks of competence and shows up people who don't, skill in oratory and adversarial questioning And reasonable decency. Job requirements. If not fulfilled, job won't be done.

@Thad E Ginathom ... absolutely correct. And neither of our candidates are even remotely up to the task. TBH, anyone up to the task wouldn't want anything to do with the job given the current political and media (social and otherwise) climate.

The whole thing just needs rebooted. Give them all an early retirement, send them home and shut down DC.

Maybe you guys could borrow Britain's Starmer: he's good at handling Yellow Man, he could probably handle Orange Man. But there's a long time before he gets to fight an election. Which his predecessor screwed up completely.

Not sure what to think yet...

I feel your pain— lent out the Bifrost and HP-3 to a friend and I'm letting him keep em until past quarantine, at least (same dude whose ZDT Jr. got friend under my watch, feel guilty about it). May what you have on hand ease the pain somewhat :))

First thing I did when this all started was drive out to my office to do a gear collection. Can’t be without audio!

unfortunately, I was doing a kid collection (had to move 2 out of college dorms - Purdue & Western Michigan) and when I got back 3 days later the office was locked up tighter than a drum.
