I know that Josiah Tobin (aka Bit_Rat) was based out of Calgary for a bit (see this EP), but I think he's in BC now.

It depends if it is a TS TRS connector, if the cord is balance or unbalanced, what type of shield the cord has, and the quality of solder. Also how you wrap and care for your cords. It has been said before that its based on what your plugging into, but from experience, 1/8 inch TRS cables are often of lesser quality in comparison to my 1/4 inch cords.

Very true, but those factors affect cables regardless of connector size. 
That being said, I suppose the larger form factor of a 1/4 plug allows for thicker and more durable cable, better shielding and thus better noise immunity.

While there may be some difference in sound

As an electrical engineer I'm VERY curious to hear an explanation as to how the physical size of an audio connector affects the signal carried through it.

1/4, generally a better sound

Please, tell me how the size of a connector affects the quality of sound. 

The only difference I've noticed is that 1/4 plugs/jacks are generally tighter and less prone to accidental disconnection.

Some 'long lost' Chromelodeon video footage surfaced yesterday. 



The whole 50+ minute set is up here: http://www.chromelodeonarchive.com/vide … ollege-pa/

Hey folks, was going through my stuff lately and stumbled upon two link cables: one official Game Boy Advance cable, and one 3rd party cable with both DMG and pocket/color ends.  As far as I know they both work, but they've been in storage for a while and I have no way to test them.
I have no use for these, but I don't want to throw them away, so I'll send them to whoever wants them, no cost.
EDIT: Claimed!
EDIT2: Sent!

3:50 is the Noise Channel theme song.  Written by virt for the show, as far as I know it hasn't been released outside of the show. 
15:31 is Staring at My Spaceship by virt.  http://www.biglionmusic.com/music/chipt … x-edition/
edit: really don't think this is the appropriate forum for this...

also: i think this is plogiston related, no?

Correct.  Phlogiston = Eirik Suhrke = member of Pajjama.

The last song (Vedaste) sounds like it could almost be a lost Chromelodeon song.  That's the highest praise I can ever give.

One of my favorite releases so far this year.  Don't sleep on this one folks.

I be _jmr.

Last year the HOPE chip shows were streamed online by Radio Statler (and I got to hear a wonderful Animal Style genesis set because of it).  Maybe if we're lucky they'll do it again?

http://areciboradio.com/ has a special treat on the air right now, courtesy of some resourceful fans... wink
