Let's not associate Kerry with Ray in any manner. They should not be discussed in the same thread IMO. Kerry is a very knowledgeable builder, with the ability to build a safe and functional amp. And in my own personal opinion, a better looking amp as well. Ray just tacks on slabs of aluminum and pretty notions to try to make his amps look expensive.

May have been. There's been talk about it. Oddly the Audeze guys didn't hear it. I immediately noticed that something sounded wrong and pointed it out. Others have commented they felt the same.

IMO the ALO cable did sound noticeably worse, so much so that I'm assuming Ken's soldering job was about the same level of crap as the old ALO dock I once bought years back. Because I agree that I've not noticed a lot of difference between cables in Ortho headphones.

Well that's one step further to resolving the issue. What amp is your Dad using?

At CJ I definitely preferred the stock cable to the ridiculously oversized Jena wire ALO junk.

Happy Birthday Dinny!

No, at least no warmer than a regular mattress. I like it cold when I sleep too, and find no such issue with mine.

Fitz, We'll expect a review of Guzzi vs. Dr. Wood. Decibels, patterns, rythms and visceral impact will be pertinent additions to the write up.

Mine is a Sam's Club clone. 5 years and still as comfy as day one, and no divets developing, like with a spring mattress. Paid $500, so I feel pretty good about it. That new TP Cloud sure looks interesting though. Might need to go test it out. Nice ride Larry!

Yeah, I remember that's what everyone drove them with. Heard the combo once at my local high end dealer. I hated it, but only because I couldn't afford it.

Duggeh, be prepared to give that bed a full 30 days before your body adjusts. After that I bet you'll love it. Awesome painting deepak!

Stretch your lips big enough to engulf a TICE, and see if they don't turn Yellow too. I thought those were Pass units driving the Apogee's. Even the little Apogee Stage was just a badass speaker in the day.

All the more reason for us to support the real enthusiast sites that build honest equipment right here in the U.S.A. HeadAmp now leads that pack IMO, and it's very worth the few extra dollars to keep that business in business. I'd hate to see the day when such a product is no longer available.

It's worked for me for 35 years. However, if you aren't that handy with the utility knife method, the best sharpener I've seen yet is also made by Keson... Unlike other sharpeners, you don't turn the pencil, you slide it back and forth.

Nothin' but the finest for this professional...

What once looked like a nice hole in my schedule is now looking pretty full. It looks as though I may have a slab pour on that Fri. and Sat. If I cannot change that date, I must be here for it.

Pardon me for saying so, but there's something about an amp named the 'Pussywillow 3000' that doesn't exactly make me want to click the 'Buy It Now' button.

That reminds me a lot of a guy I once dated.

Yes, but don't be surprised if there's something that feels like a snail in your shell.

Absolutely amazing! The skill shown is just astounding.

Holey hell that's cheap! For the Zus?

Congrat CJ!

You bought Zu speakers IIRC, right Mike? Shelly maybe we could talk Marc into hosting a mini meet, in which I'd bring the speakers up. I want to hear his Krell drive them! Sorry laxx, he didn't mention another potential buyer. If it makes you feel any better, the shipping and packaging will be $320.00. Cartons will need to be made for them. That didn't phase me in the least though. Still a fantastic buy!

The components alone (drivers and crossovers) would cost upwards of $1000.00 today. This was a component kit that Madisound offered about a year ago, for a design by Jed from Clearwave Speaker Design. They sold it for $676.00, which was a real bargain. Nevermind the MDF, wiring, acoustic stuffing/lining, binding posts, ports, gorgeous Fiddleback Makore vener and incredible labor involved. These gorgeously finished (catalyzed lacquer) beauties, with matching stands were mine for a mere $600.00. How could I pass that up? Big thanks to Nebby for educating me on the quality of the components and design!

I did not need another pair of speakers, but I simply could not pass up an incredible deal on a gorgeous pair of ScanSpeak/SB Acoustics in Fiddleback Makore, with included matching stands.
