  1. I need to send the shielded BJC to you it makes a huge difference, sorry for the delay work has been kicking my ass.
  2. The Craig's phono has sounded wonderful every time I have heard it. Phono stages are one product that manufactures generally make a killing on Craig's stage is crazy cheap considering that is it MC and MM with the MC including cinemag transformers.

    Canjam 2010.

    I'm looking at either a wednesday to Sunday or Thursday to Monday schedule for CanJam. It would be cool to hit these if we have time, be nice to have a night out with the folks here looks like this one is within striking distance of a CTA stop The Map Room - Reviews - BeerAdvocate Hopleaf Bar - Reviews - BeerAdvocate this one looks slightly out of the way but cool none the less Firkin, The - Reviews - BeerAdvocate
  4. Eight of the GIK 244 panels to attempt to tame the massive echo I have in the speaker room
  5. stay safe Naaman my thoughts are with you and I'd add to the ISOM box
  6. the answer the comes back each tome this is asked is no as they are a pro audio company and want to remained focused on that market. While I understand your point from a straight line logic perspective if the uln-8 is subjectively better than dacs in it's price point (I thought it was better than the Berkeley Alpha) than why care that it comes with stuff you don't need. Your all set to go down to the local tavern and record your favorite band with this thing all you need is mics.
  7. its awesome to make strong coffee ( that I add a little water to) but do not be fooled it in absolutely not an espresso maker
  8. I own a unl-2 and have a ULN-8 on the way great DAC and ADC as well. Not sure about the best in the world but all things considered extremely good and sonically far above their price point.
  9. oddly I find the 404le pretty well resolving and it responded well in the change in amps from the eXStatA to the BH at the NYC meet. If anything I would consider these to be more analytic than fun phones as there is no wooliness to the sound. Tonally they are drier than I'd like in a perfect world but are outstanding in the price they play in (under$700). They 4070 and O2 probably smack the shit out of them (I'll know in a week or so) but they should for a retail 3-4 times the 404le.
  10. thinking of using a very hard wood and having concave discs made Concave Areng Wood Plugs 1.34" inch 34mm (p1011) - eBay (item 170296851330 end time Mar-19-10 15:58:20 PDT) or
  11. thinking of using concave furniture sliders found at home despot
  12. Grawk maybe we can do a keg for CanJam
  13. Ari thanks for the tip on the bearings now I just need the cups. The squash balls are cool but I am trying to test out this thing as the results for speaker isolation is said to be great. The catch is you do not want to be drunk and knock into them.
  14. according to the man concave with no flat spots
  15. Ok I have read a bunch from Barry Diament about ball bearing and air bladder isolation and I want to take the plunge. Here is what I am trying to find but without the high audio price tag any ideas where I can find stainless steel cups like that and very hard ball bearings? These are like $180 for a set of three and I am hoping to source something like it for a lot less. Any ideas?
  16. I hate myself I just ordered the 64 gb non-3g version
  17. Carl Oz from LTBS has a few Rega platter options as well he is a TT nut (meant in a good way)
  18. Those hand cranks are great but if you are pulling several shots of espresso a hand crank can get old fast. I used to travel with a Zass grinder and I enjoyed it for that purpose.
  19. to pull a good shot a grinder and espresso maker will set you back $1200 ish new. If you amortize out the cost of the two units over a two year period assuming a latte is $4 X 365 = 2920 vs $1200 + 1040 (proce of 2 years of green coffee and milk) you are ahead $600 or so and pulled better lattes on average than a pimpily faced kid at the local coffee house
  20. Bitches need to sell a playa some O2s
  21. Third time's a charm, just fired it up 30 minutes ago and the sound is sweet. I do/did love the 845 but between heat and tubes I decided to head back into SS territory for power amp needs.
  22. McCormack DNA .5 with SMC Audio Silver mods, anyone want a great deal on a dared 845 power amp
  23. not sure if I need one but I am also not sure I can resist
