  1. Oh, yeah, well, forget it, then.
  2. I prefer Sharps by a small margin -- Samsung is probably second on the LCD front. I also really like their "touch of color", which Sharps don't have. Have you considered DLPs at all? When you go massive (I.E. greater than 50"), that's about the only other thing I'd take into consideration.
  3. Unfortunately, these two things need to happen in this order: catalog them, receive information. You don't need to be thorough about it -- start with just determining which tubes you have -- we will automatically start asking about the more interesting ones, and then you can go back and get more information about those -- brand name, markings, condition, pictures, etc. There's an awful lot of tubes in the world, and not all of them are frequently used for audio amp building (there are exceptions, of course) -- I would put all those together and just sell them on eBay in one lump. The bright side is, some of those look to be in really good condition -- even the boxes. That is the tube-pervert's equivalent of "bling". What that means is, they will photograph well and should sell for better than average. Oh, and immediately download this -- if you do get a list of "Oh, if you see any ___'s, I call dibs" that you decide to honor, it'd be nice to know that, for example, an 18GV8 is the equivalent of a PCL805. It's not perfect, but it's a start.
  4. Strippers and cats, my two favorite video subjects in one easy to digest helping, hooray! It had everything -- a love story, suspense, violence -- what's not to like?
  5. Dinosaur pocket tee
  6. Who looks like she's about to puke.
  7. I bet it would look real good Rasterbated.

    Magnatune

    Anyone else doing this? Or at least applauding?
  9. So what did you spend the $250 on?
  10. I actually think they're a lot closer than others do as well -- I still prefer the Mk I, but could completely live with Mk II, especially with rock/pop music, which is mostly what I listen to.
  11. But I thought it was hard to get the amp socket other than by buying an extension cord. Or has someone discovered a source?
  12. Poops a lung
  13. Yeah, it's probably the 50a450 they're selling at $800 -- if it's any of the 1080p sets, they're beating the best price I've ever seen for it by hundreds of dollars (I think the lowest I've seen is $1300 for a refurb). As evil as I think of Wal-Mart, even I would shop there at that price.

    Nixon

    Since when did Nixon make headphones? link They're probably OEM'd, but then again, I doubt their watches are OEM'd, so maybe not. But then again, their specialty is watches, so of course their watches aren't OEM'd, so it's still possible that everything else they sell (clothes, bags, cufflinks, etc.) is. But I certainly don't recognize them, so if anyone has any theories on the subject -- much less heard them -- please speak up. No, I'm not getting them -- way too expensive to try just for whimsy.
  15. I agree with what's already been concluded: microphonicity (?word) and bad or dying tube. The only additional piece of information/opinion I'd offer is that bad tubes can sometimes be confused for a bad connection (tube to socket), but that usually results in a bad tube anyway. So progold and deoxit. Even if you end up replacing the tube, it's good to make sure you have a good connection.
  16. Okay, so maybe the resistor is "cheating" by sending it this signal from one of the power lines? Maybe it's just a single DC signal...well, it has to be something simple like that, if the AV cables work with it, which apple says it does.
  17. Okay, it has to be entirely in software, because it's the same exact cables.
  18. Sounds like a breed of dog.
  19. Amazon has Buffy for $70 today only. That's $10/season.
  20. Again, that's the controls, I think the actual lineouts are the same. I'll try it tonight.
  21. ...and people with allergies...to faceplants.
  22. Don't they all work?
  23. Bond's best double-entendres -- now you know what kind of man reads Maxim.
  24. Solid stainless steel, not chrome. And I think I want it anodized. And: oops, wrong pic, meant this: ...and technically, I haven't bought it yet. And no, it's not a rectal thermometer, it's for my tea. And yes, I had to look up what a "tamper" is, and yes, I did giggle when I looked at this gallery (of buttplugs).
