Keep it civil, please.

Nope, just need to put it on craig's list and see if I can't make a couple hundred bucks on it.

Ha, I was texting one handed while holding Lily yesterday morning so my options for a message were limited. Of course hearing that you guys were lounging around in shorts while we were watching it mist/rain/pour/rain/mist was a bit painful.

Long gone, actually shortly after I got back from the first National Meet. It was like the crazy girl you convinced yourself it was a good idea to date even though you knew she would probably try to kill you. After three trips to the mechanic all cost over a grand each I passed along that problem to someone else. At least my domestication didn't include trading twin turbos for twins.

Around here Ira has pretty much a stranglehold on pricing (being by far the lowest). I'd wager that I would have paid another couple grand for the vehicle at another dealership. Still, it was the typical dealer negotiation, I knew what a fair value for my truck was and simply threatened to walk until they offered within a couple hundred bucks of what I felt was reasonable. It sure was nice to be in a position where I owed 5 grand less than the truck was worth in trade.

Yup, traded in the 03 Tacoma Double Cab which was proving to not be nearly as family friendly as we'd hoped it would be. The Highlander is already parked in the driveway.

PM me your address Vincent, I've got a little something for you. Or, I'll just bring it to NYC with me and give it to you there.

Dishes and Pills is good, Jacob, I think you'd like it. I'm kind meh about Passing Thru though. She's a local (New England) artist who I think Ian discovered and then shared. If you haven't, errrmmm, tracked stuff down by Monday let me know.

There's a max/max desktop amp in the b-stock listings...

I'd say you and I have very similar Sennheiser tastes.

I'm not so sure, he's got a niche product (modded Denon's) as his hook, otherwise you can get the same service (recabling) for quite a bit less elsewhere. It's one thing to generate FOTM over a $100 mini-mini to suck in the Ipod crowd, it's quite another to charge ~$800 for mods to a $1000 headphone (~$439 5.5' cable, $159 markl mod, $229+ cups). Who would have thought there was a modder who could make Headphile seem reasonable.

I would like to hear a plastic acoustic guitar.

Yikes Ken, let us know how it goes!

Have you tried any other cables with the 650s purk? I used to be a big fan of the Zu until I tried a couple others. Mind you, I don't hate it like Vicki does but there are definitely others I like better.

Here, let me break it down for you. 22ga Jena wire = $6.25/ft (if bought retail from a dealer, he probably gets it for less direct, or at least he should), Furutech 1/4" plug = $13.20 (again, retail). That's it, that's all of the parts that he uses. So if you figure that with braiding you get a 30% reduction in the length of the cable you'd need 14' of wire to make a 10' cable, and 4 of them for the type of cable he's making. So total that up and you'd need 14' x 4 = 56' total x $6.25 = $350. Add up the wire and connectors and I get a parts total of $363.20. For a 10' SE rewire he's charging $589. I'd say that ~$225 is a healthy margin for a pseudo-MOT and that's assuming he's not smart enough to negotiate at least some discount on the bits he's using. It wouldn't at all surprise me if he's able to knock 25-50% off the retail prices, I know I could without breaking a sweat. Then his margins start looking like $300+. Not bad for a job that takes a couple hours. And don't get me started on the $10/ft nylon multifilament. There's no way he's paying even $2/ft for that stuff. Research ALO for more information.

Beginning @ 3 p.m. on Wednesday November 13th, 2008,we are pleased to offer all our customers "additional discounts" in accordance with pcX's 10% / 15% / 20% off Everything Sale.* 10% off SED * Hammond * Black-Gate * Riken 15% off ALL OTHER PRODUCT LINES (Everything Else that qualifies*) 20% off Mundorf * Furutech * Jensen * PEARL * EAT * KR Audio Hmmm, 20% off of Furutech stuff, maybe finally time to build some bling XLR cables...

Looking good, Jack! I bet it sounds sweet too.

I got your back Tyll. Thread moved to the Product Annc. Forum.

It's good enough for me, that much I know. Sounds like you have enough stuff to order that you don't need to wait for my next order. If you want to shoot me a PM with everything you'd like to order I can place it for you and have it shipped direct to whatever address you want (at least I'm pretty sure I can).

*sniff* *sniff* what's that I smell? Wood cups?

Good news is that the chrome pair for sale is already scratched from storage. That makes them even more unique, you can't duplicate original JG scratches!

That works as long as the length is not a problem.

WOOT! Happy Birthday, Vincent.
