909

yes, i've got to get going soon and if i slept, well let's just say i'd be dreaming.... music, lagavulin then a few shots of espresso will keep me running at least until evening...

grado has shitty fit, finish and their build quality can be substandard and arguably cheap in my experience... good luck!

i ain't sober, but since it's his b-day we certainly should play nice.

not so true, i've only purchased one headphone amp and it does drive speakers. i didn't jump for the zd either... and i am not super interested in paying a premium for balanced shit when i don't really foresee ever re-cabling my l3000s. and i've read so many reviews/impressions that don't hold water to my ears after i've had some serious listening time with the gear.

i don't buy new and (expensive) audio shit unless i hear it first without obligation and like, plus the 307A as fantastic as the impressions have been doesn't have speaker posts and i ain't itching to drop 5 large ones...

every one is "acting" so nice welcome aboard! hope you enjoy the ride...

yes, hope it's a good one with lots of cheer... happy b-day, George!

interesting... i have such speakers, the not so old moth cicadas...

lucky fucking bastard. you better post pics and impressions!

happy b-day, jw!

if i'm around i'll do my best to show, though, i don't know whether i'll bring my rig.

i've only had three and liked them all, prima pils, golden monkey, and the hop devil ale. the last being my favorite.

anything you can get your hands on from the Victory Brewing Co. is likely going to be very good to excellent. and what, they don't carry any Russian River? --probably not as it's extremely limited in its distribution and as far as i know only, generally speaking, bottle damnation.

cool, i can't wait to hear it and see how the cd compares too...

just ordered Mudcrutch on vinyl with the bonus audiophile cd from Amazon with free shipping. i called amoeba about twenty minutes ago, but apparently someone snagged the last copy before i could put it on hold.

i contacted him about local pick-up since his location is indicated as Westminster, which is pretty close to where i live. he promptly responded and said yes, but he also said he's heading up north to Berkley (to go back to school) tomorrow. he tried to sell me on another HP2 with the reference cable for $1650 and the HP1 for $1900 outside of ebay. he gave me two addresses, his cousin's in Westminster as that is his "permanent address" and where he's currently living, sharing a house in Garden Grove. he mentioned he would like to get $1750 for the one on ebay. if you think he's shilling, it would hurt to report him since at least ebay will look into it.

Happy b-day! hope it's a good one with lots of cheer.

very cool. at my old vet i crossed paths with two. both were fantastic and beautiful dogs that exhibited great temperaments. you've got cats? wonderful if they are still prone to chase.

do you know what kind of dog you'll be adopting?

oops, sorry about that--my bad.

at least he wished me a happy b-day. can't say the same about you know who

thanks for the b-day wishes, much appreciated.
