Post the last thing you bought!
Gas -- not usually notable, only I set a new record for myself -- the closest I've ever come to running out of gas. 13.0something gallons, and I think I have a 50 liter tank. I changed lanes too fast, and I almost stalled out. Remind me not to do that again -- the gas filter is in the gas tank or something weird.

Networking Alternatives: Powerline, MoCA, etc.?
A thought: in most houses, two phone lines are run -- if they're only using one, is there a way to use the second one as the network? I think the only problems are (a) that you'll have to make sure that all the phones in the house are using the two-wire method of connecting, and if not, their are stubs that you can put between the phone and the wall jack, and ( that you will have to make sure the second two wires are disconnected at the phone hub (wherever it is that it's connected to the phone service -- I know this, because at least once in my life, I had to get the second line connected, and they had to come out and physically connect it). I know this is good enough at least for DSL speeds.

I think the thing to do is to see if there is already enough discussion in various subforums that merit merging into a new subforum. I.E. don't create the subforum to see if the discussion exists, see if the discussion exists to create the subforum.

Anyone know anything about reel to reel?
Hi-Fi VHS was awesome. In some ways, it was better than DAT.

HT Upgrade
My only thought is, are you sure you can make your room dark enough for a plasma? They don't go as bright as anything else. I personally prefer plasma, but can't recommend it if you don't have room-darkening shades.

Tool Recommendations Thread
Awesome, I was just coming back into this thread to post something to this effect, except without the clever running tie-in.

Inexpensive Active Near-Field Monitors?
Also, the ...Harbeths? ...that were recently discussed elsewhere, as a Poor Man's Quad 11L. Almost any 2 way will "need" a sub -- the 12L doesn't need a sub except for synthesizers, organ, acoustic bass, etc.

What are you driving your K1000 with?
Best I've ever owned was A3^CR pre/power combo. I have yet to try the Manley Stingray. Only other amp I tried it with that I've owned was the Jolida JD102B, which was meh -- wasn't bad, but wasn't good. Ditto AudioValve RKV w/Impedanzer. No, wait, I also tried it with the Kenwood microsystem, wasn't bad. My mom loved it, but I wasn't willing to part with the Kenwood when I gave her the K1000's. Best I've ever heard was Canman's Pass Labs -based rig. Also heard very very good sound out of tuberolled ASL MG Head (!) and Singlepower ... PPX, I think? Might've been MPX. You'd have to ask Hirsch. Whichever one he has. It's all in the tubes -- if you get the right tubes, that changes everything.

So it's a mixed mode operating system, you can direct it to perform 32-bit or 64-bit operations, at a high level? That's some pretty fucking awesome.

Foam deterioration
Steve, you can lower any discussion, can't you? PS Don't take that as a challenge. It was more recognizing an existing talent than asking for proof.
