  1. Try inserting "new" into that sentence and get back to me. Sure you didn't oppressor.
  2. You still ignored the getting up to change sides and the lack of selection.
  3. Livewires Custom IEMs Well, as soon as I call in the payment details I'll have bought them but my impressions should arrive tomorrow.
  4. Happy Birthday!
  5. What do you mean, it's already gone. I mean I guess it isn't all gone since I kept the table, but only because shipping it seems impractical and like an invitation for failure. But if someone in the North East wanted a good deal on a Thorens TD-160 I'd certainly sell that too.
  6. Congrats. I fully respect the vinyl crowd for their dedication to a medium that to me only seems to get in the way of actually listening to the music. I get plenty of enjoyment out of CD's that I can rip losslessly and spend 1/100 of the setup time that you vinyl guys do only to have to justify what is generally a higher noise floor in the name of superior sound. So, after only an hour or so of prep you get to sit and listen for 20 minutes before you have to get up, flip the disc, maybe wonder if you remembered to clean both sides only to bump the arm and wonder if you shouldn't realign it before going back to listen only then remembering that you forgot the demag the album. Love that superior sound! But wait, it's only better if you've dropped about 5 grand on a table, arm, cart, stylus, phono-stage, cleaning supplies, f'ing demagnatizer, record brush, global azimuth arm positioning system, etc., etc, ad nauseam. And that's not to mention that it's a complete crapshoot if you can actually find what you want to listen to on vinyl.
  7. Reason #67 not to have a vinyl rig.
  8. T-Mobile...
  9. Well, some us are loony and use the 4-pin XLR even for single-ended.
  10. tits stock market crash i have a hot fake girlfriend stock market crash tits hope that helped, aerius
  11. I have nothing for that other than . Either can be made to sound glorious and I'll never pick one or the other simply on the camp it belongs to.
  12. Salty, Time to sell your soul, brother, a guy just listed a BAT VK-20 on Head-Fi for $1200. Retail (w/ remote and phono pre) was just shy of $3000. Heck, maybe he'd meet you halfway and go $1100? FS: BAT GEAR Pre and CDP - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio
  13. Blue Jeans is about as close to paying a DIY'er as it gets, therefore if you're happy with the aesthetic you probably can't beat the price.
  14. That might be possible if you were up for say waiting a month or two...
  15. Sorta need to know what load the orthos will present to the amp to know if an M
  16. Hmmm, given your most recent statements I'm having second thoughts. First things first, you could try posting a WTB thread at Head-Fi for an M
  17. Nonsense. http://www.nisbeth.dk/uffe/files/headfi/mcubed-bom.xls That'll get you started on a BOM for the amp. You gotta learn at some point.
  18. Not once they have been modified. I don't think they offer a 4-pin XLR as a stock option.
  19. Can't hurt to try but don't be surprised if it falls on deaf ears. You might also try emailing Alex at A Pure Sound since he's recabled a couple pairs. He might remember what the stock cable is like.

    slow forum

    Where a crinkle fart?
  21. Since this is clearly a microphonics reduction mod it should cost at least as much as the original cable.
