    What coverage? All I heard is how great they are. All I hear now is "What did you say? You're breaking up badly." I hate to say it, but I miss AT&T.

    Interesting. I never even considered T-Mobile. Moving from AT&T to Verizon has proven to be a horrible mistake. I'll have to look into them.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I could get some other comparison shots if it is of interest to you. I just wanted you to see that the camera, while not the best, is certainly solid for a cell phone. I read that the camera was awful, and while it is of no real interest to me, I think it is a solid camera. My son has an iPhone 6 and it's camera is not really any better than my M9. I figured with the new HTC phone it might make the M9 more affordable. FWIW, I love my M9. I have yet to be disappointed in any HTC phone I have ever owned. By comparison my wife's V10 has crashed a few times, while mine has yet to crash, and it doesn't play nice with certain devices. We needed a network extender because we get no service out here. Every phone in the house plays nice with the extender except for the V10. Ultimately I wound up having to get a land line because she can't use her phone out here. She also drops service a lot more than my M9 or my son's iPhone. I'd say that of the 3, the iPhone gets better service, but only marginally compared to the M9. The M9 has expandable memory, where the iPhone is fixed, and I am not strapped to Apple for everything.

    Camera is decent, but not great. In comparison, my wife's V10 camera is a bit better. This is from my son's prom this weekend... V10 M9 Battery life is decent. It is better than her V10 by a long shot. HTC phones never crash too, FWIW. They play better with Android than any other manufacturer.

    Nothing wrong with that. At least it is a productive audio hobby. Sadly my audio obsessions rarely involve any interactions from me.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I knew where you were going. Nothing wrong with the finer things in life. We work hard, we deserve them. I hear you there. That is the main reason I got mostly out of the car audio market. Sure, I like nice, but I can't act like whatever I do will lower the noise floor enough to justify the time and money spent anymore. Sure, my cars sound incredible sitting still, but when I am cruising at 80, or driving through downtown you can fuckin fergettaboutit. I spend it on my home stuff. But for quick in ear buds, my Sennheiser work good enough for me. It is everything I can do to stop myself from buying the FiiO X5 or X7 and start a portable rig, I must admit.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I find it impossible to spend that kind of money on what are effectively buds. The very nature of their design/use seems to preclude a serious listening experience. However, with as much time as you spend on planes, a good inner ear coupled with a FiiO X7 might be an ideal situation...

    Really liking the Cooper Firearms Montana Varminters... http://cooperfirearms.com/montana-varminter Loving the Nightforce glass too. I think I want to grab one of these in 6.5-284 for next season. Love the big beavertail, the vents look cool too, plus it is relatively light, at under 8 pounds. I was looking at the Kimber rifles, but I am limited in my caliber choices. I really wanted to get into 6.5mm but the only offering in 6.5 was the Creedmore. Not enough ass for my taste. So if I go with the Kimber L84 I will be stuck with a 7mm Rem Mag or a M84 giving me a .300 WSM. I want something different. Ze Kimber...

    Thanks, Neal! When I bought my first Verus I wanted this cart, but I didn't want to spend the money. SO gave me so much bonus cash and discount incentives I couldn't say no. I keep 2 tabs open with the forum on both. Log into one and refresh the other and the second one should work even with the dead screen after the "failed login"

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    This is getting pucking annoying. After a few minutes I get logged out, then I have to reload the homepage and when I log in it freezes up. I have to open a new tab and open the forum and I am logged in. After a few minutes idle or a screen refresh it logs me out again. Current Firefox, Win 7 Pro.

    Here you go, bud... To the left (with the small drawer open) is my black Macsimizer tool box. It's not as big as the Epic series from Snappy, but it is a big pucker none the less, and the 46 series roller is taller. Behind it is my old 3 drawer split top diagnostic cart. Top open, new Verus is peeking it's head out. It is 7 inches deep. There ya go.
