My ears aren't all they used to be (tinnitus started about 25 years ago) so I'm happy with my old Technics SA-DX930, with 0.01%THD in audible ranges.
With this pocketbook and these ears, Denon, Onkyo, and Yamaha can have fun way up there without me.

Some 128GB drives went for five to ten bucks the first day they came out. Lucky suckers. They go for $50-100 now. I may get one once the price drops in half again. Do complete backups of entire drives in one fell swoop.

I've been really impressed with the slides used in the Ikea kitchen cabinets we installed last summer. Brand isn't marked, but they're made in Austria, and may be available separately from Ikea. Smoooothhhhh, and they have dampers which make closing them a pleasure.

*snip*One of the nice features of RAID is you can lose 1 or 2 disks in an array (depending on how it's set up) and not lose any data. I've got a backup box that uses a RAID 6 array, and can lose two disks without losing any data. If a disk fails, it's simply replaced and the array rebuilds.
In the future, computers will start to come with more than one hard disk set up with some sort of mirroring to prevent data loss. 1 TB is an awful lot of data to lose. (It's just like almost all new computers now have multiple processor cores.)

Got a message from Ebay saying the item was withdrawn. If I had paid, I should (don't quite understand), but it said wait 3-7 days.
Guess I answered a scam artist.
I wonder whether I should dispute the charge from Paypal to my credit card ...

I missed buying one at $25 from shengda9668 (showing 133 sales but zero feedback, strange). He said to wait and came back with a relisting at $30 about 5 days later. I went back to eBay and got one from another vendor, f9w8g4f, who has 358 sales, 100% positive. I got a confirmation from her today, so I'll know more when it gets here.
G'luck!
