Vinyl, must have more of the sweet black analog goodness.

You know what really grinds my gears?
Protip: Sounding like you've just finished greasing the shaft and getting the name wrong is generally not a good way to pick up chicks.

What are you EATING right now?
Atkins diet is hell on the kidneys & liver over the long term though, it's about as bad as being an alcoholic.

Wait a sec, you have a wife and a GF? That would definitely explain why you live in Hamilton and work in Toronto.

That's why man invented condoms.

Do I set out looking for an R10?
The woman or the decapitated horse head?

What are you EATING right now?
There's no shame in hiring an "escort", though that gets really expensive really fast...
-
What are you EATING right now?
That's why I have lots of sex with my GF every day, workout and stress reduction, all in one package.

What are you EATING right now?
Diets work both ways, there's diets to lose weight and diets to gain weight. It would appear grawk is on the latter...

You know what really grinds my gears?
My GF and her sister refuse to do a 3-some with me. You have no idea how disappointing this is, my life will never be complete.

Do I set out looking for an R10?
I heard a pair a couple months ago and I have to agree with Biggie & Iron Dreamer, the R10 is pretty much made for acoustic & orchestral music and falls apart on anything with significant bass or "heaviness". 90% of my music is missing weight & impact with the R10, I've heard electrostatics with more bass & punch down low for fuck's sake, that's just ridiculous & unacceptable to me. Unless your music collection resembles the Stereophile "Records to Die For" list, I can't really think of a reason to buy them.

When do you consider an amp "high end"
It would be pretty hilarious if someone made a knob out of the national standard kilogram.

When do you consider an amp "high end"
Ah yes, the 300B Stax amp, not only was it gold plated, it was personalized with a custom engraved badge. I don't think I've ever seen an amp with more chrome & gold.

When do you consider an amp "high end"
High-end is when you start leaving the beaten path and really start pushing the limits of what hi-fi can do instead of recycling the same basic circuits & parts over & over again. The Moon Audio Luna would be high-end, as is the Espressivo, as would my friend's all DHT 2A3 amp. Stuff like a Woo Audio 5, a Raptor, a Bada PH12 that some idiot stuffed full of V-caps, Blackgates, and bling resistors, that shit ain't high-end. That's like a $1000 Cmoy buiilt with unobtanium military parts and Kondo wires with jacks that are worth $200 each. It may cost $1000 but it sure as hell ain't gonna sound like it.

No longer IP banned from head-fi
See, you have to strike the right mix of delusional whack-a-loony and entertaining, like Patrick82.

Go for it. Just make sure to send us the links and take screencaps before the Nazis send your posts and your account to the gas chambers.

DIY B&W Nautilus
Damn. Looks like Seas Excel midrange & woofer with the Scanspeak Super Revelator tweeter. That's just fucking sweet!

DynaFet
Piece of cake, if you can handle soldering a bunch of SMDs. Most people can't solder SMDs, especially not the fun stuff like smaller chips and transistors.

Post the last thing you bought!
Head-case is clearly trying to oppress you.

all high end out of production hp owners...
Probably the same source that said there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq...
