Bah! As if I coined the functional look. Nice work Vincent.

Nah, you're in the highly-coveted OG category.

What I wouldn't give to be dreamy right now.

Blame it on the language barrier Dusty

Oh, a wise guy eh? I sent you a Duet cable once, and you promptly broke it! It's been repaired and upgraded and should be departing shortly. Indra, glad to hear that you're happy with the cable.

Not really, no. I'd have to sell a lot more duet cables (or better put, charge for them) to justify it.

I vote for tacos.

I wonder about the wisdom of making assumptions that lead to more assumptions.

You must haz speakerz.

I set a reminder in my calendar for this months ago and was pleased to see it this morning. Thursday night should be fun!

Leftover chicken parm, yum.

All the vendors that I use double test their tubes before shipment and offer some meaningful DOA warranty. Of course, I also test all my own tubes prior to use as well.

I'm sure there are examples of when it's worth paying for and worthwhile in general but I think the basic idea is that unless the vendor is working closely with the buyer and the buyer is also knowledgeable that more often than not it's wasted $$.

It's funny you'd say that, I've had more than one tube vendor tell me not to bother matching tubes because of the inherent non-linear behavior and the fact that they would be matching them at vastly different operating points compared to my application.

It's my understanding that it's highly unlikely that a tube tester is testing the tubes at the same voltage levels experienced while the tube is in use.

Try this link if you want to read the article that Reks linked to. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/30/nyregion/30bodies.html?scp=9&sq=bodies&st=cse and if that doesn't work try logging into the Times site with: username: mrfixit5 password: mrfixit And Reks, that does make me feel quite a bit different about the exhibit as well.

I may have a cheap pair of ~2m cables available soon (replacing my front channels at home for the fun of it), I'll let you know.

Just looked at the pictures again, looks like it's time for me to make posty some shorter speaker cables!

Yes, I can understand that there are some folks who don't use it for valid reasons. But all I can say is that if you don't you'd better be prepared to offer some assurances to prospective buyers. I mean all the guy had to do was say, "Here's a link to my Ebay profile. Please feel free to send me an email through their system to prove my identity so you can feel more comfortable sending me an MO for $XXX."

Ground loop buzz.

Don't think I'm not just giving Tyll a little time before offering to buy the pair that go slightly dinged at CanJam.

Use all 3 Vincent, I've had bad luck omitting ground.

Hello? Where are the impressions? Or did you guys have a sleepover before listening?

Color me jealous Jack, the only speaker rig I get to have these days is at my workbench.
