That's OK. It's probably better than mine is.  I only run a DAC on my 2nd system so haven't invested much in a digital cable.  As long as we're consistent, it shouldn't matter.

Bryan

Yup, still good here.
Although I may not be able to be quite as early as we talked about (to do that thing) due to my wife having to go on a rescue mission to get my daughter from a sleepover. I'm here with my son (who would not enjoy tagging along with Dad), so as soon as wifey gets home I'll give you call.

I was (finally) able to find the stock SB3 Power Supply. That should be fun. 
I'll bring beer, need anything else?

Bob

Nah, we don't need gourmet stuff. I'll bring a cooler.

Bob

Absolutely.

Bryan:
Just wanted to thank you for your hospitality, food, drink and great music. As usually, the GAS guys are a great bunch with interesting conversation and tunes to share. The Acoustats are really neat and everything sounded superb. Will let the others guys report on the comparison as I had to leave early, sorry. I'll drop off the power supply this week on my way to Ricks. Now, who was that angry chick that played bass?

Hey!

It's been established that we're all afraid of Tim's wife, BUT, what happened at the listening session?

I had a great time Bryan. Thank you and your wife for being great hosts! Bob I read the link and came across the infamous post. Where does that guy get off? I thought I had nerve. Sheesh! Thanks Fish for letting me ride along and to Chris for answering my million or so questions about his supply which, as far as I'm concerned, was the star of the show. Kudos. Ken it was a pleasure and I hope to see you again at one of the "gatherings". Now what is all of this about everyone being afraid of Tim's wife? Just because she is a world class athlete and all?

Bryan,

Thanks for a great time, good fellowship, tasty snacks, and good tunes.  Your direct drive Acoustats are the fifith really good sounding pair of electrostatics I've ever heard. The other four were the origianl QUADs, a pair of JanZen, the big Crowns (though those were being driven by literally a master tape), and then the original first generation direct Drive Acoustats.

As for the listening, I sympathize with anybody trying to produce an audio product and make money - however, the sound from the squeezebox with the stock power supply has just such an amount of earburn to it, I can not fathom sitting down and listening to that for any extended length of time, even as background music.  Of course when I think of LogiTech and audio, something with a 1/2" tweeter and a 2" woofer comes to mind.  The Squeezebox really is an amazingly versitile item and it is certianly inexpensive and a great value in terms of bang for the buck.  I just find it interesting that something like that which obviously has a lot of engineering man-hours going into its design ends up with a component, the PS, that borders on defective.  I'm sure some executive had to choose an upper price point versus market share to get economies of scale to work.  And for the 99% of their customers it probably is the highest fi in their system.  Thankfully we have electrical artists like BPT that have spent the time and effort to convert the sow's ear sucessfully into a silk purse.
