Happy Birthday. Or else..........

The "nanotech" is a finish to preserve the stainless steel luster, think of it is as super Glade furniture polish for metal. Makes the amp impervious to oil stains fingerprints and alien death rays.

Well they certainly didn't cut corners on the parts. For $1299 seems like a pretty good deal.

You are in the wrong hobby. What does pointless have to do with anything audio? We do things because we can..............

I thought Copper River was the best. Ahh so much for the fish market sales pitch I guess.

OK, now I pull out the big guns. Rosanne Barr....

Let's try a segue----- 120 pounds of granite tile of different colors.

Happy Birthday Laine dude....!

Make sure you give periodic updates to how the sound changes as you burn in the amp and your power cord, say every ten hours of burn in. Seriously though, I would like to read your impressions especially with the music and sources you use. It would be nice to read impressions of a Trafomatic owner other than the guy who has posted already.

It seems like you all managed to dodge the big one, except for that poor parasailer. Glad to see you are all fine.

Kind of Blue 200 gram, Birth of the Cool 180 gram vinyl.

Well when you were associated with them I always enjoyed your reviews. Marja and Henk earned my respect with their review of the Avantgarde Duos but lost all credibility with their endorsement of the Acoustic System Resonators. Enquiring minds await in the Casino...................

Wow, that is gorgeous, nice work!

Wait! I haven't had my turn yet. HAPPY BIRTHDAY..

Wow, it sure looks purty. I look forward to your impressions too.

I suggest you buy either a Bill Evans or John Coltrane CD, sit down after dinner and give a listen. Not in a car, not on and Ipod but listen, not one track or play the CD one time but LISTEN. If after a few times of quiet listening and you still don't get jazz, then I would say yeah, you don't get it. No problem, everyone has their own tastes. No big deal, jut find something you like.

Well, it depends on how you define "new people" and I am guessing your comment and the subsequent posts (mine included) are aimed at the silly threads starting to pop up by new members. To me it appears there have been a number of new to HC members but members who are not new to the hobby. This is good for HC in my opinion and hopefully will lead to a lot of constructive threads and posts which will build the community in a positive way. Granted, there have been some very visible asinine posters who appear to be new to everything both manners and audio related, trying to be edgy or fit in, but that may just be their misinterpretation of what HC is all about. The mods here have been very good at suggesting a protocol for new members participating in this forum when a poster's behavior gets out of hand. I guess what we are all seeing is the law of numbers, when you have so many members posting you are going to have posts that would be considered stupid, unnecessary or out of line. The more experienced posters generally don't make silly posts, and when they do you cut them slack because they are legacy members. It is human nature that stuff that irritates you often times keeps your attention until you get used to it........or kill it. Just my $.02

Hi. Can you recommend the world's best tube amp to go with my hd650s for under $88.50? Will the seller give discounts to members of this forum? Will they take monthly installments? The amp must sound good with rap musik 2?

Paradigm shift?

Welcome. Are you the Blackmore (from there>) with that really cool looking tube amp?

Thanks Naaman!

What is the E-Sata transfer rate "support" feature mean? www.directron.com/st0005u.html

Well add me to the BlackX club, just bought one for the office plus a 4G SD card for my daughters camera. Now I have a real urge to search out more music to rip.

Great! Postage to you will be a lot cheaper then. We should start a pool on how long it takes your "Money spent on Scotch" tracker to hit $1K..

Happy Birthday!
