  1. Man I'm itchy on these. My ESS AMT 1D speakers I had in the 80's & 90's were fantastic. The Heil transformer is brilliant, but I do require some bass. Just not sure if they'll have much. I'm going to go with the general consensus that these are overpriced though.
  2. Did we talk about a stand Jack? The Asian Satinwood has a Silver tone, and the Wenge is semi-sweet chocolate in darkness, so it really should be a nice combination for your OIIs. The rhinestones, ropelights and dingo balls will just be icing on the cake.

    UPS Sucks

    Ditto, I'll rent a horse and buggy before I'll ship anything through UPS again. I've been very lucky with USPS, of coarse their tracking is a joke though. Sorry to hear that though Nate.
  4. Hmmm, some good ideas there. I did just pick up some bargains at soundstagedirect.com. I'll check out Goodwill, Sally's and 1/2 price books soon.
  5. Hey guys I set my turntable up with a new cartridge tonight, dialed in all the settings, connected my phono stage and verified that everything works. However all I have to test it is a slightly warped and slightly dirty 45 rpm from 1972. Where are some good online sources for vinyl? I need at least a few reference albums to get rolling.
  6. Mine was masturbation. Come to think of it some things never change.
  7. I fell roller blading a few years back, and was out of work for a week. I haven't given up my mountain bike yet, but I'm becoming a real wimp.
  8. I imagine he's had 20 or more hobbies since then.
  9. Did a bank get knocked off in the Toronto area? You kids are scoring some nice stuff! Congrats Renato! I still want to audition one at home. I know I've got an amp that can drive them now.
  10. Oh hell yeah! I heard a pair of the V3 recabled RS-1s at the Dallas meet. They are damn nice buddy! Have you heard Alex's cables before? If not you're in for a treat IMO. Congrats!!!

    slow forum

    If I didn't work with wood I'd design school uniforms.
  12. Is the episode that shows you how to make OII's out of cling film, bunsen mesh, double sided sticky tape and coathangers on that set?

    Pants chafe my weenie.
  14. These donut jokes are going too far. Save the donuts!
  15. Well he had a mean lisp to begin with, so one could hardly hold MarkL responsible for the remaining sibilance.

    I'm old, I'm entitled to make stupid jokes! It's expected of anyone over 45.

    They didn't complain, they were just headphones.
  18. It's true, my PortaPros just edged out the HE90 after the Dynamat MarkL mod.

    AKG K500

    You'll get many different answers to that question, but personally I just couldn't get into the K701. I don't find it to be bad, just boring. I much prefer the vintage K340 and K240 Sextett.
  20. In this corner... Let's get ready to Rrrrummble! Actually I don't think any comparison between the Sextett or K340 is very valid, as they're just too different to be rivals IMO.

    Obviously indeed.
  22. Lol! I just had my chisels sharpened three days ago. I'm very serious about it. Let's make it so!
