  1. He means the side of the case hits the post before the drill can reach the desired spot.
  2. Good idea. That turned out quite nice. What's the significance to that particular fox?
  3. I almost always put in for a wake up call for the climax.
  4. Paging spritzer! I think that they're susceptible to hair on the drivers too, but I'll wait for spritzer to chime in. He's the expert.
  5. That happens to me with sex.
  6. FIFY
  7. Oh man! Just now seeing this Ken. I hope you've at least gotten somewhere to spend the night, if not back to SB. Wishing you the best outcome buddy!
  8. In between work on another shop project. The simi circular holders for the bottom two headphones are made from the speaker cutouts of Nate's Cicada Larvae speaker boxes. I do love when scraps can be reused.
  9. So the cheesecake obviously is to spread over breasts and lick off. The Olive oil is even more self explanatory, but what about the tomato juice? Or is that strickly to partner with the Vodka?
  10. My switch still works great. I did figure that out within the first 5 minutes.
  11. Oh man, I've heard these totally suck ass! Better send it to me for proper disposal. I love the idea of a balanced output on a phono stage. Let us know what you think.
  12. Happy Birthday Jeff! Buy yourself something nice!
  13. I built a crosscut sled for my somewhat new table saw.
  14. Well I feel a lot better now. Well I am that guy that likes to see what makes things work, that's why I'm so stunned that I hadn't caught this. However as I said they've been comfy for me from day one anyway, so I guess I had no need to look deeper. I think my hat size is 7 5/8, so most headphones are pretty comfy for me.
  15. I know I'm far from the first guy to do it, but running an active subwoofer (or in my case 2) really gives palpable bass. I thought it might sound a little disjointed, and hard to get a smooth transition, but I haven't found this to be the case. I sometimes don't even bother with the subs, but if I'm in for the long haul I'll kick 'em on.
  16. Will they let you in after that tragic Flamenco incident that mamed four poor maidens and a donkey?
  17. Holey crap I'm such a moron! I had no idea the pads opened up until reading your post. I mean they were comfy for me before, but I really like them opened even better. How many years would I have gone without knowing that? Crap they even have little tabs that I hadn't noticed! Mucho thanks for that tidbit, and feel free to share anything else that I might not know. That could be a vast list though, I'll warn you ahead of time.
  18. Me hath the feeling that the β22 might just be a really good match. Once I have the latest revisions done on mine I'll be able to put that theory to the test, but you know how sometimes you can put two things together that you've not actually had together? I have a small cranium which come to think of it is probably painfully obvious here already, so I have none of the discomfort that some speak of. I also can listen to the K1000 for hours with absolutely no fatigue. I have kind of honed in on about 1/3 toe out, but I do like to move 'em around from time to time. My experience otherwise mirrors yours. I thought they were cool when I heard Pete Millet's, and VPI's pair in Dallas, but nothing overly compelling. I also came away from that meet thinking the OII was the "IT" can. I had a chance to spend several months with the OII here in my home a while back. Now I'm not all that enthusiastic about the OII. It's a bit too dark for me. The K1000 here at home in my system has just floored me. What they say about meets not being a great place to audition headphones is very true. I'm finding the K1000 very enguaging and very musical. I did not get that feeling in the meet situation. I too am loving the midrange. That wasn't a big surprise for me though, after so many years with the K340. But the K1000 for me has all the good points of the K340, but it expands on them to a level I never thought possible. The soundstage for me is a huge reason to use these headphones, almost enough so to live with some flaws. The thing is the flaws don't seem to exist. OK maybe there's a few octaves of bass sacrificed, but I've never been a bass head, and to me it's a damn good balance. Add to that the detail and refinement, and I can certainly understand what the K1000 lovers were so eager to expound on.
  19. This includes headphones to drown out the crazy people, crazy people's families, crazy people's attorneys, crazy people's trust officers, crazy people's fucking p.o. officers, crazy goddamn therapists and crazy psychiatrists that are crazier than the crazy people, and guns to take care of the ones the headphones can't drown out. "Hi I'm Vicki. I'm an ex punk rocker and a Vegan. I like Audio equipment and guns. Now all you crazy fuckers sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up!"
  20. Ya'll head on up to Nate's House 'O' Wire. If we don't have the wire you're a lookin' fer, I'll eat a bug. Free cotton candy fer the little uns.
  21. Don't fret too much, this is Nate's idea of releasing the hounds...
  22. I stole it from Tyll. Oh, and who the fuck spells pours as poors? Sorry, I hope she feels better very soon.
  23. Just this...
  24. Yessiree! that just unseated the reigning champion Duggeh for the signature of the week.
  25. Rented a concrete saw to cut sections out of a slab to plumb for a bathroom addition. Concrete saw cuts to a 6" depth. Great, as most slabs are 4" - 6" thick. I cut past the 12" footing only to find the slab decreases by one whole inch. Who the fuck poors an 11" slab?
