Happy Birthdays!

^ Yep, I wrote them off after hearing them in a few meet settings. I thought they were just OK, but not worth the $. Just one day of listening in my home changed that.

Miguel I'd be happy to build you a sleeve. I think Bloodwood would be gorgeous. I'll need a good pic of the Marantz sleeve if you want a close copy, but it should be an easy project. And winter is on the horizon, and that's when I gear up my shop work. Too hot in the summer.

That's a very generous offer Miguel!

You shouldn't have said that, now I'm likely to seek instruction from you.

Just hooked up the Adcom GDA 700 DAC I bought. Listening now and pleasantly surprised at how good it sounds. This will surely hold me through until the BuffaloII is done. How did I collect this much gear again?

Happy Birthdays!!!

Also Bituthane sheeting has very similar qualities. You have to buy a large roll, but it's usually cheaper than a tiny amount of Dynamat. It's sold as Ice and Water shield for roofing. The brand I'm familiar with is Grace. Home improvement centers will carry it.

I see a big shovel headed your way.

I recon you're now banned from Head Case too.

Just wait, the gestation period is almost over, and everyone Fitz and I touched at CJ will soon find themselves saying words like...fabulous, davenport and aubergine.

Alex Kelly is that you?

Well there is a Hello Kitty logo next to it.

I've actually been keeping an eye out for a nicer old Marantz. I'd like to hear it with my speakers too.

Understood, but still can't help wondering...if you have tacos or enchiladas for hispanic heritage week, what will we eat for homo heritage week or gay pride week?

Just wait, in a few years the gay rights activists will win their fight for a Homo Heritage Week, and we'll all have to suffer through hearing about what Richard Simmons, Rosie O'Donnell and Carson Kresley have done for us. I never felt the need to rant about my anglo saxon ancestry, and my need to dribble on about properly accessorizing an ensemble is even less.

Completely! I also agree with Dan's recommendations. I especially like the blizzacks. It's not just about getting traction while starting out, it's equally if not more important to be able to turn while braking without just sliding.

That looks awesome Nate! The round hole cutter tech has certainly come a long way. Oh, and I dubb the "Ampicus Phallicus".

Got mine back yesterday, with freshly installed Suck-it-ALO cable (extensively re-worked by Fitz to mate with the K1000). I didn't realise how much I missed it. Regular headphones just can't give me the psuedo speaker soundstage and imaging that the K1000 provides. I doubt I could ever be fully happy with headphones that envelop the ear again. At least not for my main phones. He had to re-work them to lengthen the Y and make the wire casing thin enough for the K1000 wire boots.

Those Silver faceplate trim pieces are just begging to be remade in exotic wood!

Sure give 'em all away, but don't come lookin' to me when you're out of 'em!

Leave the prima donna attitude to us gay guys. It ain't your territory bitch.

Congrat!
