    I laughed at one of the deaths. I think I was the only one in the theater to do so. My wife's response afterward the movie was over, "You're weird." To which I replied, "So much raspberry jelly."

    After watching trailers I got an impression it was too childish and overhyped. You can't imagine the onslaught of people on me for saying this. Tho I understand hardcore Marvel fans, I don't understand adults finding it funny, but that's just me, humor is subjective.

    LOL! I didn't watch the trailers. I just saw it cuz some folks at work and my father-in-law told us to watch it cuz it was too funny.
    
    It was awesome :)

    On a side note, I don't remember headphones coming in a such a nice box apart from the Sony R-10's :) Gilbert, if you live close by, do you want to come over and get the box from me? Or maybe we can meet somewhere? Let me know.
    
    Jan 31, 2016
  4. ultrabike
    We could meet, but the box should go to @velvetx. He is the coordinator for the loaner.
    
    I actually work in Anaheim, close to the I-5. We could meet for lunch anytime next week.

    Is it serialized? If someone found/stole it and tried to sell it, we might be able to use that info. to catch him.

  Man, I really liked the Snape/Die Hard evil dude characters! Rickman will be missed!

    Hans Gruber was so deliciously evil he deserved an oscar for that level of villain-ship. Even Mel Brooks could not top that, seriously.
    
    Jan 14, 2016

    Yup. Gruber kicked ass. I also liked Rickman in the chick-flick "Sense and Sensibility". Very good actor.

  SUB-1200 may not be the awesomest sub evar. But it kicks ass!

  Many thanks to JohnM for adding % distortion plots to REW 5.14. Saved me some work in Octave.

  Mmmm. Didn't know Xiaomi was sort of a Chinese keiretsu.

    Well, maybe not exactly a keiretsu. But an electronics conglomerate aiming squarely at Apple.

    Apple is not alone in this world. The Chinese have been on alert and are making their own smart phones. Apple wants to outsource? Easier to take a look...

  Schiit! Short of an E-MU 0404 USB, most other interface (ADC) cards are crap for the price. Unless you go QA400 which has proprietary stuff

    Well, in the grand scheme of things, yes. The benefits of mass production I guess. Still, E-MU USB interfaces seem to kick the ass of all of the current offerings in their price range. And they are old and discontinued.

    I have lamented the state of ADCs for some time now. Sigh. Makes me want to just buy a Metric Halo ULN-8 so I can stop bitching about both ADCs and mic pres :)

    The QA405 will likely be a bit more pricey though. The zoom UAC 2 looks interesting though. Good price. 60 kHz is not too bad for most stuff.
    
    Nov 3, 2015
  4. ultrabike
    I see what you mean, the Zoom UAC 2 ADC 118dB and DAC 120dB dynamic ranges are pretty good for the fice
