practice shinai gotta save up for bogu

He dropped the price to $50 which is the cost of just the repair kit so I sent him an email.

Hehe, I can see how that would be a problem from lifting the shinai up above the head. Yeah, kiai is totally badass when done right. I need to learn how to do it properly (as well as everything else). Sounds good, and maybe Reks and Jin will join us. HC Kendo Club ftw. Dew eet! Your skill with the shovel can only increase. I actually find it similar to playing an instrument, with the extreme concentration, form/technique, and just plain practicing with a mirror a lot, needed to learn quickly. Funny stuff. Someone should ask you what model it is in hopes to get one for him/herself.

Taekwondo is pretty awesome too, I wish I could do a martial art on top of kendo but even kendo is pushing it in terms of time. I really don't have time for it, but if I don't do it now, I won't ever.

Went to my first kendo class. I need to buy a shinai and practice on my own now. Preferably not in my house as I'd probably end up destroying everything, including the shinai. Congrats Nate! Biking is good.

Happy birthday! This calls for a gin and tonic, hold the tonic.

It probably wouldn't sound as good as a MG1.6 or whatever other good/decent planar speaker you can get for $1k. Unless you built something the size of the Kleinhorns or something, and used it nearfield.

I'm actually thinking about selling the K1k or most of my 'stats actually, as I realized real life might be more important. See Fair and Balanced thread for more info. I have too much cash tied up into headphones anyway, and having 5 foot tall speakers possibly gets me some sort of man points and makes up for having to sell stuff off.

Certainly costs a lot less, too. Running is fun, in a morbidly masochistic way. I like it.

Thinking about dipping my toes as well.... Since I really like torturing myself, vintage stuff, finding out how things work, and getting stuff for cheap, (and modding, I seem to do a lot of that), I'm thinking of picking up a MG-I Improved with tweeter kit for $100 on CG. Seem to be ~5 ohm tweeters and woofers nominal impedance so hopefully there are no or few dips below 4 ohms and I can try fiddling with the crossovers but don't know if it's worth it for such a vintage model in the first place. Opinions? No I haven't asked if the aluminum wires need to be redone, but I assume they do since the seller is including the kit.

Like... at all? That's bad.

I don't think she'd fit. I also don't want to try to make sense of why she would be hiding under Little Monkey's bed, given the above allusion to a particular incident in the past.

Sightread Schubert Death and the Maiden 1st and 4th movements with some friends on Friday. Need moar chamber in my life.

I guess you could put two and two together and cook the recently alive. They might take up less space, especially if you eat them. But then you might get grease stains on the ceilings.

Does that mean you don't like how the O2Mk1 sounds? Too bright maybe?

Give me 40 years and a couple thousand Big Macs and I'll get it done.

Jin, it's only $15 to register. And once you have registered, you will feel more of an obligation to go, which is a good thing in my book.

I see what you did there... Thanks for the info. I'm just not in a position to build a really complicated room heater for my 'stats right now and don't even listen to headphones often enough to warrant something like that. I got Vincent's O2 pads in the mail today and since the ESP10 is not yet ready for them I swapped the pads with the ones on my Concept CE-H. All I can say is BAAASSSSSSSS. Straight up DT-770/80 quantity bass, possibly even a bit more (Darth Beyer?), but somewhat better in quality. Not actually directly comparing the two, but I don't really care to anyway. It was just for fun and to see what would happen.

Oh yeah I remember that fiasco. And that on top of the Qualia thing, sorry to hear about your bad headphone purchasing experiences. HE60 out of a BH(SE) or KGSS is definitely on my shortlist of things I really want to hear.

That actually does help a bit, thanks. The Vonnegut article is good. My favorite graphs are of course the Kafka one, followed by the Shakespeare.

:rofl:

I have no idea what this is about, but WHAT'S, WITH, THE ALL-CAPS, AND EXTRA, COMMAS-AND-DASHES-AND-SHIT, GOD, DAMN?!?! And I also want to know
