Best Place to Purchase Tube Sockets in the US
Nixie Clock? With downward facing tubes for the dots in the colons? (I.E. pointing straight at you.) Serious answer to the side question -- I saw KG criticizing Mikhail's choice of tube sockets and recommend replacing them with ceramics enough times that I googled researched the topic a little bit and found this site. The thing that I found most eyebrow-raising was the water-absorption of ceramic, wouldn't mind knowing if that's malarkey or not (they are, after all, trying to sell their own choice of materials). I have to admit to noticing my ceramic sockets getting soggy over the course of decades. Oh, wait a minute, no, that never happened. another link google for yourself

Cheap active speaker recommendations
Inasmuch as it is a two-way speaker...mmmmaybe. (I'd have to hear the Wharfedale again.) Why don't you get them both and tell us. The real magic is in the midrange, the crossover is extremely well done (in the Quad) -- practically transparent.

If you had a $1,000, or so, to spend and K-701 headphones
The Darkvoice had real synergy with the K701 the one time I heard them together.

JH Audio stuffs
For some reason, I'm having zero problem reading this thread and falling under the spell. Perhaps it's the sinus/ear infection I'm mostly over (I would still be able to listen to headphones and earspeakers, but not IEM's, under those conditions). Or perhaps it's because I don't like cocaine.

What did you do today?
You're talking about really young kids. I have been surprised by how quickly kids can be taught malice. I've actually turned to the parent, who had obviously coached the kid and said, "you should teach your kids some manners if you want to see them survive past the age of reproduction". He didn't understand the Darwin reference. But I understand your point, which is why I also quoted the safety pin comment, you're right, that one was pure curiosity.

What did you do today?
I have some very fond memories of me and a bunch of other goths invading Chuck E. Cheese's and scaring the little kids shitless. We started doing it Thursday nights, and there was a weird influx and outflux of regulars. The outflux were the over-protective parents without a sense of humor, the influx were people who enjoyed watching us scare the little ones temporarily, and then the little ones would get over it and come up to us and ask stupid question like "why do you have a safety pin there?" and my personal favorite, "why do you dress like a girl?" I'll never have kids.
