  1. There is a very intelligent grad student here with an absolutely amazing rack. On more than one occasion now, when she is in the mood she wears name tags, one on each breast. Usually followed by the line "you are going to stare at them anyway, at least now you know their names"
  2. How much for the ray samuels polish very large breast version?
  3. The small advents are 4 ohms or less, and are known to piss off many low powered amplifiers.
  4. OK,OK. I just figured out a way to cut the number of fillament transformers, thus balancing the two tubes of one channel together such that the reactance of the transformer no longer matters and a one pot hum canceling thing. Will post schematic in the next couple of days. Need to go synthesize the thing to make sure it really works as intended. So who is going to build one?
  5. Certainly true, but when i walked into my parents house wearing the thing one day, my father realized i had made it, and treated me a little differently after that. The patek stays in the safety deposit box. I'm scared to wear it.
  6. I guess i'm not that old. I paid $4500 for my rolex in 1985 all in an effort to compete with my father. Trying to compete against a patek grand complication is not easy.
  7. My oyster president is 27 years old, only cleaned once, and has also been bashed and scraped. Not a single mark on it. I also dive with it, 100 feet or more, and never a leak either.
  8. Rolex is more like the krell of audio. Built like a tank. Never breaks. No new designs in 30 years. Patek certainly makes a fine watch, but only the very simple and ultra complicated ones are actually 100% patek. Many of the watches in the middle use eta or zenith mechanisms. Their moonphase perpetual complication uses the front dial set from another manufacturer. In fact IWC, Zenith,Blancpain and Patek use many of the same parts. If you want the B&O of watches get a ulysse nardin freak. They break real easy, just like many of the B&O pieces.
  9. Yeah, i know. Too much competition forces a crap low end product. Too many employees at EMC these days, going to have to downsize considerably. In a few years you are going to see lots of raid boxes built from solid state with ultra high speed side channel backup.
  10. See every once in a while billy actually shows his brain has been plugged in and the batteries are fully charged.
  11. Dan and Zanth were the only moderators over there with any brains. I talked to zanth only once and he seemed quite reasonable. However he is getting (or has finally gotten) a Ph.D in mathematics, so he clearly must be insane. He is in the wrong country to turn into Dr. Atomic
  12. Not true. Ray would have absolutely no idea how to do the multi voltage switcher. And certainly not in that physical size.
  13. If anyone knows of a black friday price on a panasonic dw10000 i would really like to know. I need a new projector for the media room, and i'm tired of dila's for that purpose. Short throw lens please.
  14. Neon sign transformer and lots of small thin hard to see wires around the edges of the balcony. Definitely won't kill them, but will certainly get their attention.
  15. NO! Done correctly there would have to be 4 fillament transformers, each one of which has to be very well balanced, and center tapped and neutralized. Otherwise its going to have more hum than audio. This would be my standard dual differential drive setup. If you want SE with a transformer you need to look elsewhere, homey don't do that.
  16. Nope, not gonna touch that one.
  17. Absolutely not. It was going to be one of these http://www.chicagoexoticcakes.com/risquenakedgirlcakes.html but since billy has changed genders, maybe one of these would be more appropriate http://www.chicagoexoticcakes.com/bachelorette-gay.html
  18. Happy birthday billy. Even though you would not let me buy you a birthday cake.
  19. Yes there is a way to test it, but it gets very expensive. You get a complete second copy of the hardware to do a disaster restore from tape, and then check to see that it works. Although i only have a few Tb, i have done this test on my hardware stack 3 times now, every time a firmware upgrade happens. This is why you buy EMC, IBM, or SUN. Not a toy running rom based linux. Even so, 6 years back EMC had a bad batch of boards, did not tell anyone, and ended up in a gigantic lawsuit. Tape backups removed to secure locations are absolutely necessary. Jude's plans for world domination of the headphone world have been canceled. And yes payback is a bitch. The creator says not to gloat in the misery of others, but what jude has done to me and my friends, and the way he treats everyone is so condecending that he deserves this and much more. Jude needs to stop lying and look in the mirror for the source of all his trouble. He believed too much of his own bullshit.
  20. I still think 6s4's are the best thing for a KGST. Others have different opinions. Not a lot of options (as in none) for a tube that size that can really do 600+ volts. Has to be an indirectly heated triode... If you really need a space heater, i got this balanced mig2 thing with 8 x 6c33's Really heats up the room in no time flat.
  21. the "well you know" are those toy 400mw transistors one particular famous manufacturer and good friend of mine use...
  22. If that was the case, then only head-fi would have gone down. Lots of other stuff went down at the same time.
  23. Have you seen the price on hard drives lately?? No one in their right mind would ever wipe a server when they can throw in a brand new drive or set of drives at $100 each. I'll quit now, i've picked on jude enough for today.
  24. When they find out the truth (and they will) they will not be forgiving at all. Jude has a lawyer at his becon call (and not that idiot in florida either), Bet that lawyer is gonna be busy real soon.
  25. It is possible that jude actually will have learned something from this experience. Next time he won't be caught with his pants down around his ankles. So if we all rub it in REAL GOOD then he will do it right from now on. Fat chance.
