Battlestar Galactica
I've been struggling with the last episodes, I'm 2 weeks behind right now with almost no motivation to see it through to the end. Odd, I know, but I feel they've taken the show to a place where they just can't close it out in a fashion that will leave me anything other than disappointed. And that makes me sad.

Nice indeed. I designed some metal cups similar to your first ones a year or so ago but decided they were cost prohibitive and I prefer turning wood myself. Good to see I'm not the only crazy person. Dinny, I bet they sound heavy. That's a lot more material than Grado uses on their cups.

Any more pics of the SR225s? Do they really have metal cups?

The Headcase Stax thread
The BHSE requires the use of a separate multi-meter, but the adjustment is as simple as turning a screw and if you can plug in the power cord you should be able to handle the biasing.

Abrahamsen v6 DAC
I'm just dying laughing at their "high end cables" that use $1 Nuetrik plugs.

Wouldn't that school only apply if they were using the oppo as a transport? I don't see a separate DAC in that rig.

What did you do today?
Saturday: installed a new water softener and remember why I am not a plumber. It only took 3 tries and 2 trips to Lowes to get a non-leaky connection. Lesson: I am better at soldering PCB's than pipes. Sunday: God insisted that I rest, so I did. Took a nice walk with the family as temps topped 60. Cleaned up the mess made by Saturday's adventures in plumbing. Didn't have to worry about Lily puking for the first time in a week.

But they felt ok dragging the other $5k worth of their gear?

Was there really a rig that had an Apache (MSRP = $2995.00) fed by an Oppo (~$400) driving HP-2's (~$1000 + cable)? I love seeing a rig with good monetary balance.

Marc, I have a FPE order going in in the next couple weeks (actually to Cam Expert) and could add something to it if you want.

Yup, thought it was decent enough to try again next week. Not great, not bad.

Try reading the wikipedia article on pulleys, it does a fair job of explaining the general principle of why there is a mechanical advantage gained using a block and tackle (just a pulley system). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulley
