Too... many... spoilers... Must... not... read... And curse you @TMoney !!! Westworld is terrific. I've never spend 2 hours per day on a series. Till Westworld, I've been watching 2 episodes per day.

A friend of mine listened to it at Canjam London with 009. He says it was too clinical or too netural. From his description I understand it sounds a bit soulless. And yes amp is useless w/o select dac. I believe Dr. Gilmore and Birgir criticize engineering and knowhow problems. And I believe/know without proper engineering and designing, making something sounds good is hard. And they are pointing that. Beside I totally agree with them - ofc if I can with my limited knowledge of electronics - lets consider some psychological facts: I haven't listened it. So, if it is indeed bad, then psychologicaly speaking: 1. People like how it sounds cuz MSB made it. 2. People like how it sounds cuz of its price. 3. People like how it sounds cuz proper people hyped it. So: using placebo effect, conditioning method, and anticipation method can alter what people hear. If we think about most of the potential buyers of this MSB system, noone but rich pricks that do not have ears to hear but want to brag about what they own. Considering they, most likely, don't have mind for skepticism cuz of nearly endless resources of money and lack of ears to differ what is good and what is bad, good work MSB!1!! About Egmont, The closure that covers the tubes is shitty and I'm changing it with granite from Afyon. I'm trying to make bigger holes but I broke 3 prototypes already and It is fucking hard to cut granite. But I'm working on it. And I have to admit, "marching tubes" are funny.

Thank you sir. Actually I said "f.ck natural selection" and took the little ones in my home and started vaccines.

Wow, I didn't know they killed it. I should search more before post it here. Yea it was a bit chaotic... But still... Yea I'd watch it too. I really feel sad. I started to watch Westworld btw. Very interesting story, and Ed Harris...

Greetings my good sirs, I just wanted to share a series: Vinyl The story shapes itself in 70s' New York, around a music executive: Richie Finestra. Music industry, sex, drugs and alcohol... Pretty likeable things. I really like the story and cast. Bobby Cannavale (Main Actor), Pretty talented actor, I've known him from another HBO production: Boardwalk Empire. And the cast includes: Ray Romano, Olivia Wilde, James Jagger. Creators are really impressive: Mick Jagger, Martin Scorsese!!1!!1! and Rich Cohen. First Season has been aired in early 2016. Anyway, Just check it. In worst scenario you'll lose 10-40 minutes.

After I move, I'll let you all know. You are all welcome. But ofc If you are not allergic to cats. I know some recipies that goes well with raki.

Just give him virus of being audiophile, to prevent dust he'll clean his room fine. (That is what happened to me.) Also yesterday we did the meeting I organized with some of my friends in my Hometown. It was perfect. We made BBQ in a private garden that belongs to my father's friends. Beef and chicken marinated by myself and ofc Raki!! And Another good news: For job agreement, I'm going to move to Istanbul soon. So any Head-Case members living nearby or want to visit Istanbul are also most welcome.

Thank you sir. Great news indeed. Congrats to you and your son sir. I wish he can countiune to do well in college too.

Well, thanks. If my mistake caused anything good, I'm glad. But normally I'm very carefull about not stepping into bullshit. I only completely agree with Marx on showing true colours. It is a good thing to do. Well Proudhon believe it too. Well, some people like to keep things for him/herself. But showing yourself as different person, imho, so wrong to others, and cruel to yourself. So I agree with you Dusty, sir. You sirs are really so nice to me, even me being idiot before did not prevent it. I'm not saying that for licking asses but you are also so full of knowledge on this hobby, I see all of you as teachers or big siblings. And the best thing about this Community, you can go full force on bullshit. I'm still seeing myself on a thin ice, thb. got so many things to learn.

Thank you sir.

Good thing happened too today, as comfortation. I got this today: This is the egmont clone that Birgir bought from China website. I was thinking for a long time for amplifier upgrade but I did not want to take 10 steps at a time, cuz I really want to progress slowly, for it's better and joyful to do. So with Birgir helping me a lot about lots of things, I bought it for the half of the price Birgir spent on it (not a discount, you can see how much he spent on this topic). Amplifier is extremely good for the money I spent, I've never listened it before modified but I read how bad it was before modified by him. But hey, he has magical hands. I mean, It is better than current top tier amps of Stax, imho. Thanks again Birgir. ps: I sold the bubble wraps and made some profit. Btw, I started to work about that top closure immediately. For a long time I wanted to work on granite. I'm making a granite cover for top of it. If I can succeed, I'll let you know when I start to work on full granite enclosures. And here is my current humble system:

No sir, I don't think you are trolling. Actually beside correcting, your answer made me chuckle too. I'm not into politics too for I dont give a shit about politics and politicians. I completely agree with Bill Burr, Louis C.K. and ofc. George Carlin on politics. Just I was extremely happy when I saw the news, I post here immediately after I read, before checking if it's correct or not. I do not understand why they (maybe being FOX) put that news into the sliding thingie which I don't know its name. Sorry again for my laziness. Beside being happy, the thing I've done can be considered being lazy too.

Yes Dusty, Bandages used on serum needles. I'll use spay/neuter procedure as fast as when they become 1 y.o. For others/elders we're waiting for winter. When winter passed, just before matting season we'll do that. My only solacement is we've and could done everything we can. Seeing her dead body in garden would be much much worse. Thank you sir.

Yes they are fine Dusty, my good sir. No she had not have open wounds, she had food poisoning. I guess food poisoning masked other problem: Virus infection. She waited me to turn back from Istanbul. She laid to my lap last time in the morning. I was sleeping when she passed away. Yes sir, they are fine for now. But for any case I'll bring them to the animal hospital which my university has. It is close enough to travel with 3 cats. Thank you my good sirs. It is really good to have people to understand this. Most of the people are like "street cat died, so?" I had serious thoughts about bringing them to my new home. I'm still bringing survivors with me. I don't think I can withstand if anything happens to others too.

We lost tuxedo 2 hours ago. She got virus infection vet said. I'll bring others to the serious university animal hospital on Monday.

I'm not trolling sirs. Our news agencies are just bullshit. James clapper resigns. Nvm. I feel ashamed. Fox Turkey gave the news as if Trump resigns. Sorry.

So guys, as I've heard from news, Trump RESIGNED!!1!1!1! (Not true, Fox Turkey news happened...)

A headphone just for your taste: Kennerton odin. Only 666 grams. Fill it with sorbothane. You are good to go. You don't like it, no worries for I have 2 more solutions: I have a friend who solved resonance issues just like cutting the butter with a hot blade. He doesn't listen headphones any more. Another friend of mine followed different path: Earcups made of granite and headbands made of damascus steel. And earpads made of merinos wool. You should try that. I found an entry when I googled "granite earcups" I want to finish in one post so here is a solution Ed posted: Just check the last two sentences, hilarious. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: Originally Posted by richard51 It is not possible to repeat too often this Fact : with sorbothane it is necessary to estimate the right amount of compression applied on the sorb. hence to choose rightly the duro and surface of the sob and his height (experimenting is necessary ) ... i had receive the 70 duro pieces i want to put between the plates under the amplifier (30 pounds) in replacement of the 50 duro pieces... More clarity and better effect... I am sure that these things do make a difference. On a similar vein, n my very first sorbing experiments I used clamps to hold sorb onto the metal headband of a Stax SR007A. This was just two pieces of stiff plastic attached by a nut and screw. I found that you could get some variation in tonal characteristics by adjusting the tightness. Generally looser gave more bass, tighter less bass and more treble. I must return to this some day. If you are prepared to do some physical modification of earcups. you could have some kind of tightening arrangement with sorb located inside earcups and then somewhat adjustable. You can see these and two small metal clamps in the picture. I finally settled on just the plastic clamps moved down to the top of the earcups. The other thing to consider with equipment is mounting sorb inside equipment, such as on circuit boards. Obviously you are not going to do this where boards get hot. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want earpads made from "Real Feel Super Skin®"

Smart girl knows what to watch 4th cat taken into nursery at home. And from nursery, they are all fine now, Tuxedo passed the critical phase just fine. She is still tired but no diarrhea or vomiting any more.

I guess I found something exactly same with what is he doing (yea I like Family Guy):

^ shit, I rofled

Sorry Dr. Gilmore, I should add, "as seller claims" I pressume they are crap. Just want to share cuz Birgir asked for things like these before on this topic.

I was reading this topic for getting thoughts on my recent purchase of modified egmont clone from Birgir, and spotted some diggings done into taobao electrostatic amps. I found these on yahoo aleado: This is something like malvalve I guess? http://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=k181199121 And this is T2 clone as seller claims: http://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=m95216502 And there are some used Stax earspeakers and amps, here is the whole listings: http://yahoo.aleado.com/2084219581-category-leaf.html?j=0&page=1 If you still have time.
