Cool. You should get into DIY Colin. You seem pretty handy.

Silly Head-Casers: thinking that they have control over their addictions. Just keep telling yourself these things Steve. We'll be here when you want to post pics of the 'new' phono pre.

So many new stats. Congrats guys!

Yeah, my lathe tools come that way too. I guess there's a valid reason for shipping them that way, I'm just not really sure I understand it. My local sharpening guy does excellent work though, so no worries.

I think it's just your character. The economy would just be an excuse. You're either a thief or you're not a thief.

It's when I read stuff like this that I'm so happy I just build shit. Congrats my friend, and I'm glad I didn't have to do it.

Opera actually uses real wood, for those wanting such a thing. That Figaro is a Dark Voice. I have not seen it before. And yeah, not sure why you'd want a 3 pin XLR over TRS?

^ Now that's funny, and in a Gallagher kind of way.

I love it when you go all butch like that!

Oh I fully agree Fitz. The site has most certainly taken on a different character over the last few years, and not in a good way. I don't ever recommend them any more. I just hope my subs continue to work properly, because I doubt the company will weather this.

I'll take that in the best way it can be taken.

I'd probably like the Dexter game, if I get to be a serial killer that kills bad people. Is there any way to hack in a character not in the game? If so I'd make a Ray Samuels character and kill him really slow and painfully. And his amps would definitely be involved.

I got to know Mark a little over the years, I met him once, and have talked with him on the phone a number of times. We were first introduced when he headed Audio Alchemy, and I've done business with him at AV123. He was a warm, likable guy, though admittedly I did not know him well at all. It is sad to hear this. That being said, if he did defraud people, especially with children,s charities as the rouse (or any charities for that matter), I hope he gets the harshest sentence the legal system can impose. I have no sympathy for that kind of bullshit. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now, but it's not looking good for him.

Oh trust me Nate, you're not a drama queen. We should know, there are plenty on that other site to judge by. Hoping for good news.

Fingers crossed here Nate.

For the wife's new Accura I imagine?

It's not 100% yet, but it's definitely getting better. Wait 'til you see the pretty Maple I got for you, and some for Fitz too.

It's ruled by iPodBJ, and inhabited by only men (in spandex).

Might be a fun project to do in the future. I'll leave the endgame up to Nate.

It's nothing against vinyl, quite the contrary I love the sound of a good vinyl rig, but I just don't seem to take the time to go through the steps anymore. I find myself reaching for CDs 95% of the time, just because it's quicker. That and I just don't have the room for a vinyl collection. Oddly enough though, I find myself wanting to build another turntable. It's just a fun build, but I'd need to have a commission before I do. Edit: Not quick enough for Nate. What Thorens do you have Nate? Maybe I can build a table to raffle or give away, but it'll have to take it's place behind some other projects that have priority.

Not sure, but I've a sneaky feeling we're about to watch a whale get beached.

I'll be there, but vinyl no longer is something I have any use for.

Just because I don't get crunk doesn't mean I don't like my P-Funk! I was listening to Parliament back in the day, as well as other funk: early Commodores, AWB, Ohio Players and so on. I still have a pretty good collection of funk, and 'Flashlight' sounds pretty damn good on the β22/K1000.

Hmmm, Well I'm long past the 'Crunk' stage of my life, but in keeping with the new terminology I'd like to coin a new phrase for this stage of my life... 'SLUFFED' Usage: Yo bitches, we all sluffed like a mofo, time ta get ho-izontail. Translation: Now that I ate too much I'm really stuffed, and I feel very sleepy. Time to get some shut eye.

Beautiful table Stretch! Congrats!
