Happy Birthday! We missed ya!

Happy Birthday Mike!

I prefer an indoor Keylime Tree. The leaf pattern seems to work better for diffusing the backwave, and the secondary benefit is Keylime Pie (Keylime Pie Girl not included).

And bacon!

And can I get 'Ebony Erections Audio' below my name? You have to be there Vicki.

An iPad sounds like something your Mac needs once a month.

Is your car broken down?

Steve you'll meet him at CJ. He and I are sharing a room, and I imagine it'll be a stop on the party circuit. You are going to CJ right?

Nice!!!

Douche Nozzle #1 checking in Sir. I just registered, and I paid for my airline ticket, so it's real. Looking for all of my Spandex jumpsuits as I type.

Fingers crossed Stephen! Good luck!

THIS IS NOT THE FUCKING STAX THREAD!!!

The whole time I was typing that I was thinking...Shelly's going to read this, take me serious, and never talk to me at a meet again. But I think you know me well enough though to know that I'm completely full of shit, and I'm really more like Jim Gaffigan hiding behind a Sam Kinison mask.

It's been so long I have no idea about dating etiquette anymore. Is it rude to ask in the first 15 minutes of date #1 if there's going to be sex later?

Well the LE or Limited Edition moniker is hardly anything new, and certainly not invented by Stax. The timing may seem coincidental, but I doubt it really had much to do with the 404LE. Although I was wrong once back in 1983.

Well I haven't heard a stock pair of LCD-1s. The pair I've listened to has been tweaked by Don (dBel84). I currently have on loan a Fostex T-10 that Don also tweaked. I have to say that Don has a great ear, or at least we have similar hearing. The T-10 is balanced perfectly to my ear, but the LCD-1 is tipped hot. I had assumed that it was bright because that's how the owner (luvdunhill) prefers his phones, but it could be that the LCD-1 is just tipped upwards from the start. Not sure there. That's something to consider before starting with your associated gear. I'd PM Don to get the skinny on the LCD-1 signature. He's a nice guy and very ortho savvy.

Exactly the kind of hard information I need. I've convinced her that the D60 is the unit to go for. Thanks guys!

How was the date part Reks?

Thanks for the info. Any thoughts on Nikon's D3000?

I've got a question...My Mother wants to buy my Niece a nice digital camera for her Graduation. Her budget is about $600.00. Size is not a big factor, as portability is not a necessity. My Niece is artsy, but not an experienced photographer. Where should she start looking?

When I was 21 Yamaha introduced the YH-1000 Orthodynamic headphone. And I bought one.

It was Shelly's Woo WA 5 LE, and it was a bit underpowered, but sounded phenomenal. The bass was deeper than I'd ever had imagined possible from just an amp swap. The WA 5 is said to have more grunt though. No, but could I get the power switch in a custom location if I order those? That's Chekhonte isn't it?

Excellent! Great to know he stands behind the product, because I may need a pair at some point.

Yes. The 300B amp I tried briefly at a meet was nothing short of incredible. At some point I'd like to have a 300B amp for them. I'll keep the β22 though, as I like it's signature for many genres as well. I have not yet had any real time with my DIY Pass F5, but that should be up and running at some point, and the hope is that it will provide a warmish signature for yet another flavor.
