How did you like your Maggies (which ones?) and what made you sell them? Seems like a decent pair of vintage Maggies would be a nice entry into speakers for me, since vintage Quad ESLs seem to have even more quirks and are more expensive, both to buy and to repair/maintain.
I think some sound absorbing materials put up on the back walls would be an easier way than using trees.
So that's what your handle refers to. I, by way of wualta, mistakenly thought you were referring to Dunhill LPs as a bit of a joke. I will eventually get around to pipe smoking.
Thanks for the recs. Any for samplers? Been thinking of finally buying a small (<= 50 cigar) humidor.
Do matches make a difference? Still kind of a cigar noob, I typically use a normal butane lighter or use matches to light cedar.
I'm not sure, but I think I was drifting in and out of consciousness and a couple of days may have passed, trying to read through all that. But then again, I have the attention span of a gnat.
It has been for over 2 months. But it wasn't that, I just wanted to get some exercise in on a nice day.
Colin, that sounds like a pretty kickass rig, are you looking into a vinyl setup now?
Practiced basic strikes, suri-ashi and okuri-ashi, trying to maintain proper chudan. Needs more practice...
Bowled a 149, then a 143. Pretty good for not having bowled in over half a year. But I think the lanes aren't really quite *right* at school, for some reason.
Played through first movements of Mozart Quartet No. 14 in G, Debussy in g, and Borodin No. 2 quartets.
Failed to run a 7.5 minute mile on the treadmill because I started out too fast and my stomach was a bit queasy. Thankfully did not throw up.
As it is now, I'd probably mod it with a flamethrower.
Other than enjoying the fact that they first called it the HE-5 Signature and then thought it might be cool to ride on the 404LE bandwagon on top of the Stax bandwagon and call it the HE-5LE?
