Yuck, hope you feel better soon Jim.

Yes, but I don't think he built any of the gear. I thought we would have running water tonight but no. The plumber spent a lot of the day digging in the area where the leak is, cut open one pipe but that turned out to be the sprinkler pipe not the main pipe. So we still have a leak. Sigh. We can turn on the water to the house for a short time to fill up toilets and/or take a shower but it is somewhat inconvenient. Oh well, it's not the end of the world. Certainly much better than what Grahame is going through.

Good news. They found the leak and it is outside (where the water goes into the house). We'll have to pay for the extra water but I don't think it will be that much, maybe an extra 10,000 gallons. I imagine the plumber's bill will be much more. Good thing the drought is almost over.

Sounds like fun but I will be in Germany.

Saw some puddles of water near the house yesterday and thought they might have been from the light rain. No, turns out we have a 100 gallon/hour leak somewhere. The plumber is here trying to find it. Sigh.

Yep, I had the SR-007 MKI that I bought from Deepak with me. To me, the SR-009 >> SR-007*. *Although, we didn't have an BHSE to compare them - that will have to wait til the next mini meet.

Make sure he has a few kegs of Mountain Dew so he doesn't fall asleep and lose your place in line though.

Hope you feel better. Colds suck. I got together with Al (pabbi1) and Alex (monsieurguzel) for a mini meet this evening. Alex had a pair of SR-009 that he hadn't been able to try out since he is still waiting for his BHSE. We were happy to provide amps to get a chance to listen. All I can say is that they are fucking fantastic. I am seriously thinking of selling a bunch of gear (LCD-2, Woo Audio WA5LE, ... ) to justify getting a pair. They sounded great with both amps there (Cavalli Audio LL and KGSS). I loved that they sounded great with all types of music. Basically, The PS Audio PWD Mark II (Alex's) + KGSS + SR-009 was as good as I've heard and I want a pair. It was also very nice to meet Alex. A few pics.

You don't like my fancy banana stand? Don't worry I have plenty of shelves and floorspace for piles of unorganized papers.

Thank you. I am enjoying it. All I need now is a 27" ACD. Too bad they are all glossy screens.

Made the ECD-1 part of my desktop setup. It a bit large, but I can live with it until I find a smaller worthy contender. I cannot bring myself to sell it but have mostly been using the PWD in my main system.

Happy Birthday Naaman!

A really big congrat to you and your family! Welcome to the world Myles!

Sure. Speaking of which, I just finished writing a midterm. Do you think I should explicitly state that they can use a slide rule? I wouldn't want there to be any confusion.

I don't allow any calculators on my exams.

@Todd: Thanks for the tip. I emailed Sean and he thinks he has extra original tweeters and will ship one to me for not much more than shipping. He also mentioned that Danny at GR Research sells the upgrade tweeter/crossover they used to make the Encore version of the speaker. I may see about getting this when I have more time to do this upgrade. Thinking of maybe using these in the bedroom or office.

Those must have been some big pours.

Happy Birthday Dan!

Sorry, that is reserved for Vegas.

Made some roasted butternut squash on brown rice with parmigiano-reggiano, and goat cheese and roasted beet salad tonight. It was delicious.

Shit, I forgot to pay attention before snipping. The only difference between the two sides of the tweeter is a red stripe with a sharpie. On the other tweeter, that is connected to the red wire. I am not sure the pictures will help very much. The tweeter looks rather generic. I also took a picture of the crossover. I'll try sending an email to Sean to see if he knows of a replacement (and whether I need to replace both).

Very jealous Nate! Sucks about the sickness Mikey.

^lol

Snipped the wires to the tweeter and tested it. It measures "infinite" resistance. I guess that means the tweeter is blown. Any way I can find out what kind of tweeter to replace it with (or what to replace both with)? I don't see any markings on it.
