Dusty Chalk

Thank you! I thought she looked familiar. She's the infamous dancing girl behind that animated gif.

Oh, and I was playing around, so I did this one (NSFW!), and I accidentally did it landscape first, which, in some ways, works better.

(in reference to the girl subplot)

Yes, you can. And I ain't no doctor, but no, that don't sound right. I'd get a second opinion.

You know, I could have used this definition several years ago.

Just as long as he doesn't do any Seth Bullock impressions.

Send me the jacket, I'll sew another button on it. (I've actually been doing a lot of button-sewing lately, and depending on the button, can probably find one to match.) Oh, and:

It depends what. I wouldn't worry about the Wheatfield until it actually burst into flame (or singed my cat's hair).

Dude, it's a phono stage, probably the most sensitive component you have. At least get some good current production tubes -- either these or these. Ask over at sh.tv.

You need to roll that Sovtek, methinks.

It's better to burn out than to fag away.

I'm definitely a fan of the VPI. Go that route.

Damn, how did you know? Don't answer that. But: you're right. Oh, and LOL @ grawk's edit.

That sounds like a bad fit with one of the pins/legs.

That's not reading, you're just looking at the pictures, aren't you?

Just based on your description, that's mostly the amp.

Alas, that is an albatross that I'll have to wear myself, you've got enough with the car and all.

Yeah, it sounded alright on hirsch's M^3, and on my Creek OBH-11SE. Although I did prefer it with tubes (Singlepower & AudioValve RKV).

What they said. I haven't heard the words "cheap" and "mac" together too often (although I consider the minis reasonably priced). Except on ePrey eBay. But I wouldn't get a computer there, unless it was someone you trusted, but if you trusted them, they'd probably not be selling on eBay.

My boss just walked in and handed me an 8-gigger. [img width=400 height=320]http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m114/sylviaviridian/macros/Cat%20Macros/godlykitten.jpg

Me four.

Keep shopping. $200 is extortionate for 580's. And I agree with postjack, not much of an audible difference.
