  1. I think that is the 'real' Gene Simmons, and what I've always found kind of fascinating is that a guy who probably does get women falling at his feet on a regular basis, can be so insecure. Textbook overcompensation. That must sound funny coming from a guy that constantly talks about his endowment on an audio forum, but the very big difference is that I know that my endowment might be a fun conversation piece, but in the big scheme of things really has very little importance or meaning. I truly believe that he thinks his sexual encounters define his life. Sad.
  2. I would not buy a Sennheiser headphone if they were full of water and my ass was on fire. I am looking forward to hearing the Philips phones though. Good sound at a reasonable price needs to come back in fashion.
  3. Dial indicators in sprinkles! Too gay?
  4. Wear more provocative clothing and hang out in seedy bars.
  5. Actually Tyll, depending on who his boss is, it may well be a good look. I bet you missed the built in kneepads.
  6. Ginger bread case FTMFW!!!!
  7. What's with you Hoppy? Always the penis jokes!
  8. What about a nice braided loaf case? Any way to keep it from molding?
  9. Initially I'd intended to add a volume pot, but my incoming Buffalo DAC will have one (as well as a very neat little surprise Naaman added). And his casework makes mine look downright getto.
  10. Thanks guys. I had milled that faceplate at the same time I built the matching K1000 case, and I'd pretty much forgotten about it. Marc had kept it stored away all this time. He really did a beautiful job on this amp. Just loitering through his project room is always worth a trip to Austin though. You guys have no idea the extent of his projects, in varying states of completeness. Some truly impressive stuff!
  11. Thus ending Al's lifetime search for the perfect Ebony knob. Kevin it's most likely the small size of the knobs that is causing the Ebony to check. In all larger pieces I've turned I've had no issues. Cut it thin though and it curls like hell.
  12. It's on his list, but it's a long list. Getting shorter quick these days though. He needs to get his Brazilian Soapstone cut to correct outside dimensions.
  13. I miss my Paradigm Reference Active 20s. The actives had a bit more lower frequency energy, but useful to about 40-45Hz. However, once I employed (two) 10" active subs (Rocket UFW10), and switched to the high pass filter they really opened up. I'd recommend a good 10" sub, as I think the faster speed is a better match than the larger drivers. If I were buying today I'd probably try the Emotiva X-Ref 10.
  14. Do they whistle a happy tune?
  15. Dredging up one of my old threads to reveal a happy ending. Marc and I (Marc) were unable to get the F5 to play in any kind of stable manner back in May of 2009. Well Marc wanted some help with his new corner horn project this past weekend, and kind of as a way to entice me up there I guess, he broke the news that the F5 was alive and in top form. It seems he spent a lot of time getting it to that point...new PCBs, major tweaks to the power supply and some resistors to play well with the K1000. She looks and sounds fantastic! It's a little bit of a different flavor for the K1000, and a nice compliment to the β22. And it sounds amazing with my custom built speakers.
  16. Their loss Tyll.
  17. What is something Steve's boyfriend would never say, for $400 Alex.
  18. Even the gay guy got it.
  19. Happy Birthday!
  20. Happy Birthday!
  21. Happy Birthday!
  22. Have a good trip!
  23. Happy Birthday Mike!
  24. The corner horns are going to be the shizzle yo! And the two mono F4 amps driving them will be nothing less than HC overkill at it's finest.
