I had my share of Maritime Queens back in the day.

Happy Birthday!

No, I was hoping one of you would recognise it.

I own a balanced β22 and a K1000, but I don't own an LCD-2 yet. I did own a Thunderpants, but have moved it on.

Sneak peek of the new Daber Audio 1.8 Transparent. It's a full range, DSP controlled single driver...

Yep, at some point I plan on getting the LCD-2 as well. I can wait until I can get it second hand though. The FOTM (even though well desrved) will move on at HF at some point, and people will be selling them (probably to buy a lesser headphone). We need to get you to a Texas meet, where you can hear the β22-K1000/β22-LCD-2 combo. That might spur you on to complete yours quicker.

Really? I had a big bazooka even as a small child. The gun looks nice too.

Congrat Biggie! I like cake, but with very little or not very sweet frosting.

I would think an M

Yep, some type of omni radiating speaker.

Fuck what the saying all? Hell as confused is want know smoking all everybody.

As for masking parts to be powder coated...you can use about any product, as the coating really is powder. I used Blue painters tape, so it wouldn't leave a glue residue. Then my powder coater removed the tape after coating/before the oven. Make sure your powder coater masks threads, as all don't. If not I found the best thing is to re-chase with a tap. You can get smooth or hammered surface textures, as well as gloss or satin, but I'm not aware of a flat powder coating yet. The baking process would make it difficult to produce flat I'd imagine. Smooth surfaces generally are about 2 mil, with textured about twice that. At least in my experience. Clear coating screw heads is an excellent idea. I used to have a lot of pipe powder coated, for deck railings in Alaska. And when building custom computer cases.

Marc, any interest in sourdough breads? I bring it up because my Mom has a sourdough starter that she started before I was born, and at 50+ years it's incredible. Her Alaskan sourdough pancake recipe is the best I've ever tatsed too. I could bring some up when we fly out.

Happy Birthday!

Wait, am I in some reverse universe or something?

You forgot 'Empire of the Sun'. Estimated 95 lbs.

Yes, and that PASS would make a lovely 50th Birthday present for Dr. Wood.

Yes it does, but with Dinny, Al & Mike around you'll get lost in the shuffle.

That sucks!

Congrat Colin! I told you that having Jeff hold a raffle for the next promotee was the ticket. Can you afford to buy that redhead now?

It looks very nice, but why is this in speaker porn? What am I missing?

I'm trying a new side dish that I've been putting together in my head for a few days. Stuffed Portobello mushroom caps. Stuffed with Blue cheese, diced apple, diced glazed pecans, a drizzle of olive oil and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. I mixed all stuffing ingredients together, then spooned into the caps. I'm baking them at 350 for about 25 minutes. Hopefully they turn out as good as my mind says they should.

Good luck!

^ In an install like that it's not really important which way the woofers are facing. Deep bass in non directional. That's why the drivers in many home subs face downward.
