Yeah, I have a working DIY Pass F5 up at Marc's place. I've yet to hear it, but I need to get up there and bring it home to try at some point. I do expect that to be a step up from the Opera, especially now that I have the Luminous Audio passive preamps. I bet the 300B is lovely, but that's in the $5000.00 range, yes? Taking my current K1K rig over to a friends house in about 45 minutes. He is a non audiophile, but he has listened to some of my gear for a few minutes here and there. Never the K1K yet though.

Several of us own them, and there seem to be many differing opinions on amplification. So I thought it might be fun to see what people are using. Post about current or previously owned K1K systems you like. ATM I'm driving mine with an Opera Audio a120 integrated. That's really the only amp I've used thus far, but the plan has always been to use the Beta22 once it's finished with repair and recase. Even though I've little to compare it to, the Opera is a quality unit. I've heard that a good 300B amp is a fantastic mate for the K1K, but I doubt I'd ever spend that kind of cash. So what are your favorites?

I pride myself on that very ability.

My favorite Allen wrench set is made by Husky (Home Depot). They will replace any broken wrench in store, no questions asked, just like Craftsman. The piece to the right is a handle for more torque, and also slips inside both sets of wrenches for a nice hanger. I've had my set for better than 10 years now. Husky 13 Pc. SAE & 13 Pc. Metric Combo Flat-End Hex Wrench System - 12206 at The Home Depot They do have an identicle ball end set as well.

I could probably bike there and back in 7-10 days.

Foam degeneration is no laughing matter, and should be taken quite seriously! Foam degeneration almost cost me dearly in 1986.

Strips are no match for my snoring at all. The strips ran away and cowered in the corner. If snoring were an Olympic event I'd easily break Michael Phelps' record for most Gold medals.

I need a special one... On the front: I like woodies On the back: Lace 4 Eva!

If you brought a cookie & cupcake carrier to my house and I found out there were no cookies or cupcakes, but instead Grados, somebody would be lookin' for an ass whippin'. That's false advertising. Not unlike pulling down a pair of panties only to have a dick flop out.

Yes. I'm just curious to see it implemented. Naaman and I have discussed using it in a Buffalo build. Ultimately I decided that keeping the build simple will be better for me, but that hasn't stopped my curiosity.

Unintentional pun points!

I is believe not in them findings!

Once. I was 13 and found a stash of Hustler magazines in the woods. Unfortunately I didn't find any lotion.

And the boots really complete the ensemble.

So guys, does it look likely that the uber controller will be available in time?

My understanding is that the movement (minimal as it may be) of the sand or shot is what actually dissipates the resonance. Whereas a solid material carries the resonance through its mass. The structure of the sand or shot is actually able to absorb and deaden the vibrations, where the solid material is only able to at a much smaller degree. I'm sure someone else can explain it much better than myself, but your question is far from dumb. You've got to give them the inside story!

Happy Birthday Posty!

Solid concrete will not be as anti-resonant as a hollow stand filled with shot or sand, but it should work fine.

I'm sure you'll look OK in Brown.

Yes, IIRC the minipods are about 13" tall. Not at all a full sized speaker though.

No, I was looking at pants IIRC, that was back in '93. But you have had occasion to deal with a clothing clerk at a high end retailer, have you not? The fact that you're not in the market for mens underware is neither here nor there. You'd have to be the worlds best saleman to get me to wrap the boys in lace. To wrap them in lace and give you $125.00, not gonna happen.

Well Marc, everyman's dream is a clear hole, with no road blocks, but that's rarely the case is it?
