Ouch. Not a fan of the updated signature design.

If I could get mine out of Louisville, I'd review the shit out of it.

Man I just can't catch a break.
What have I said... something about very impressive, best I have ever heard through my headphones (ie CD player, minidisc comparison), probably used the word clarity at some stage.

On the more important question. Not sure my signature has ever been the same twice, but I am glad we are all graphologists around here. Think the design works better in terms of sizes, symmetry and whatnot, but I did prefer the black look of the concept art over the gold.

And they float.

They float? Are they waterproof?

In all of the worry, I too am guilty of overlooking your impression. Thanks for telling us how you feel! That's great news! Especially glad to hear they float.

Oh and the float thing is reference to an earlier comment about me throwing it in a river as the 'fake' signatures making it worthless. Just a joke, probably best you don't try it at home.

But if you like listening to music you should consider getting one.
If you like paperweights or shelf ornaments get something cheaper. Like a paperweight, for example, which you probably can also throw in rivers.

I got a PJ Pono on its way, hopefully. Waiting for the shipping notification. But happy to hear it has more use as a music player than a paperweight because I was debating what to do with it.

Which Neil Young track did it come with?

Kev - Coat and Keys

The Neil Song was There's a World from Harvest in glorious 192/44.
Very good choice as it is recorded with the LSO so it really shows off the player's qualities.

Thanks Kev, your comments are the best thing about this thread at the moment!

This whole PONO thing is madness. . . . .madness I say!! $400 for something to put on a shelf? Questioning the validity of the signatures?

I'm just happy to have completed my 2014 sticker set!! small pleasures people. . . .small pleasures

PJ_Soul

But $400 for a device that offers high quality music at home, in the car, and on foot is actually totally worth it. I don't find these overpriced at all.

While the UPS site still says it's waiting for power of attorney, I also got an email from UPS stating it's due to be delivered tomorrow. I hope so....

Riverrunner

Mine is also in Louisville. I hope it gets delivered this week.

But can you charge them in the microwave like the new iphone?
