    Fingers crossed, I'll get out of using a PS3 as a bluray player and my AVR as a FLAC player. Congrats to whoever wins and a serious kudos to John for offering such a tremendous karma.

    Unlike those impatient Chicago people and their sucky traffic, I'm happy to wait while John and his lovely wife enjoy a nice dinner.

    I'm sure after a shift doing what she does a relaxing dinner is just what the doctor ordered.

    PS John tell her my wife and I say hello!

    John, some of us have all the patience for you to enjoy a nice dinner with your wife. I think anybody that says otherwise should have their name withdrawn from the bowl of wisdom. >:)

    I agree sir... :D

    For that, I might just make everyone wait until I get the Triangle up and running.

    Patience is TRULY a virtue. Hopefully I'm not on the ignore list,because if I won I am giving it to my best friend as I already have an Oppo and he will be needing a Blu-ray soon once his roommates move out. I can't think of a better player for him to have!

    No offense but I would hope this would go to a Polkie who would want or need it, not to be given away to a friend. Just sayin....Too cool of a karma for that .

    Okay fine I'm a bozo
    Dude you don't even know me.
    You don't know anything about me
    You don't even know my name
    This would have gone to a Polkie had I won
    I know this because I sold (*or gave to*) him his entire home theater system
    Bozo is getting off his soap box and moving on.
    Someone is going on the ignore list.

    Thanks to all you guys, who each in your own way, has played a part in making my audio journey a lot of fun! The Oracle of Persia has place her beautifully manicured hand in the bowl of destiny and has withdrawn a single, very lucky name. That name is............
