The Orthodynamic Thread
I can't say better really, just more to my taste. Although the T-50 is a very close second. I'll also add that I've not yet heard the "Smegginator" woody T-50RP yet, but that's soon to be resolved.

The Orthodynamic Thread
I came to the same conclusion. I never liked the sound with the stock housing, no matter the mods. New housings turned them into an incredible headphone IMO. Still the best Ortho I've heard to date.

slow forum
Strangely enough Duggeh, the tone of your voice fit perfectly with the character traits my mind had put together from pictures and posts of you from these past years. However my mind was not ready for what surely was not a Scottish accent. Not sure if that was an attemp at German or Austrian, but I'm left wondering if you studied at the Colin Mockery school of foreign accents.

WTF Contra Costa County in Nor Cal isn't going to prosecute a bunch of crimes
Contra Costa County also includes the upscale town of Walnut Creek, and somehow I don't see the nipped and tucked well to dos that live there settling for this. I can promise you that the first store owner that shoots and kills his assailant will turn things around immediately. And why wouldn't he or she do so, if they know that the D.A. will turn a blind eye to the theft.

K1000 Recable Guide
This is a superb guide to recabling the K1000. I almost feel like I could take on the task myself. I'm not that brave yet, but it's an excellent guide if I ever do decide to do it or have it done.

If you could live anywhere in the US where would it be and why?
Or Juneau, AK.

I'm generally not a fan of Texas. It's just too hot for me in the summer. That being said Austin is a very nice town. Anchorage, Alaska is gorgeous in the summer. Winters are much milder in the Anchorage area than people realize, but they do last for 6 months, and that can get old. I lived in San Francisco for a few years and absolutely loved it. It is rather expensive to live there though. I also lived in Portland, Oregon for a while. I really liked it there, and I love the fact that woodworkers are well supported there. Eventually I plan to move to Portland or Seattle. I'm definitely a Northwest kind of guy.

a nod to someone who has served us well
Fabtastic! You're really refining that mounting system too. It's really looking great.

HD800? Another rumor?
I prefered it to the Benchmark as well, but the Zhalou D2C w/Zapfilter completely obliviated the DA10 and Benchmark at 1/2 the cost. The Zapped Opus took it a step further, again at well below the Lavry and Benchmark price of admition.

wood finishing stuff
I love the way they look too, but I never could find the on/off switch. You'll love it Al! It'll take a little while to dial it in, but well worth the effort.
