I think he was happy, see him rolling around on the floor?

5 little furballs, sitting in a row, P-I-A-N-I-ssimo, One realizes it's hungry, starts to mewl, the next thing you know, you wish you had a gun. J/K...cute as buttons, all 5 of them. I'd go for the far right, guy, too, he seems like my type (just from the one picture, things'd probably be different if I actually met them).

Never heard of it, but I'm a huge fan of Aardman Animations, so will have to check it out. Thanks for mentioning it.

Black goes with anything. Except Navy blue.

I got mine, too. Thanks! (need to try it with my L3000)

Don't say that!!!1!

Happy Birthday! Do bad things to key lime pie waitresses.* *Euphemisms, again.

Wheatfield. Or the Wheatfield redesign that HeadRoom is supposedly coming out with in the next year or so.

Yeah, I think that's what he meant, he was just phrasing it badly. I mean, obviously he didn't mean that "...you're not actually supposed to use the battery power...", ever, even though that's exactly what he said.

Somewhere around 2/14 These are not rules of thumb, these are MHO's: plate == base of speaker -- I don't like overhang, because it seems less stable, but neither do I like the plate to be bigger -- the speaker baffle should not have any additional reflecting surfaces right there. Construction == should be stable, inert, etc. (seems rather intuitive, not sure what you're looking for here). Shouldn't ring -- basically, same rules as would apply to the speaker cabinet. I like three legs (as opposed to one, two, or four, etc.). Most of the magazine writers swear by sand-fillable. I don't, but that's me.

Tweeters --> ears

I like that this thread got sticky'd by disassociation.

He is so great. I think I have all his albums.

Try using your system without them, and tell me you don't hear a difference.

No, that's right, I'm not sure what issue DC has with your statement, I wish he would be more specific.

I've heard some Dali's -- they would definitely be on my short list. I would also include Focal (formerly JM Lab), Aurum Cantus, Quad L series (or L2). You might be able to get Gallo Reference 3.1's or whatnot within that price range. $1400 takes up too much of your budget, methinks, but if you're alright with that, those Ikon 7's definitely look like something I wouldn't mind owning. For amps, despite their ubiquity, I would definitely recommend Musical Fidelity. A3^CR/A3cr, A3.2, A308, or A5 (I think I may be straying outside your budget with those last two). I'm not as fond of the A3.5, from what I've heard.

I guess it depends

2 Sammies from Quizno's -- balsamic chicken one and the black angus steak one and a cookie (oatmeal [FOTM!] raisin) FTW

I haven't had a haircut in years. Hippie, aye.

Actually, Hirsch would probably help you out -- he knows how to do it right. He has like 3 or 4 turntable setups, and even the cheesiest one sounds pretty damn good. Setup is to vinyl what room treatment is to speakers.

Nice! I like that triple. Good work, Steve.

The cat expresses that feeling you felt when you went to the proctologist.
