Thanks for picking up all those goodies, Grahame! I will bring a few things too, but let me know if you think of something in particular. I don't have them yet, but Nate just sent me some pics of the DOTU Bi-Wire Shorties he just twisted up. Man do they look sweet, and they are going to be great with the Harbeths and HR stands. Eye candy for the masses:

So, the 950 cable has 5 wires and the connectors have 5 pins, how many do you plan to use for this DIY effort?

Persistent little bugger, anyway.

I remember the whole Big Joe is more than enough amp for the K1000, but I cannot imagine that he is saying the G-Lite->MB Quart shit cans is better at anything than a K1000.

It is not my 950 but it has an adapter that was made by the previous owner of the cans. Maybe JP will post the info because I don't know it. So wait, the $42 MB Quart headphones are better than the K1000 at anything? Sorry to be a price snob on this one, but puhleeese.

Looks neat but what do you do with such an air gun? What is the deal with the bar in front of the trigger?

If he is good without being a dick all the time, and especially if he cuts that hair and gives up his signature doo-rags, maybe.

I enjoyed the 950 out of my 007t this weekend, even though I didn't have time for detailed listening. It is pretty forward for a 'stat but that was also in part because it was in comparison to the Sigma normal bias model I was checking out too. To my ears, the Sigma sounded under-powered and a bit diffuse in the mid-range. The vocals were set back in the mix and were too soft. the 950 has a lot of bass, also. I am going to try to borrow these off JP before he flips them.

If it is in a bucket of Mocha Mudslide ice cream it wouldn't be so bad, but the bucket turns out to be full of shit.

Nice Chris. Looking forward to hearing the 9 and 10 compared in Tampa next month. I just bought an iMac 24", 3.06GHz, 4GB ram, with wireless keyboard on the education discount. This one will replace the lamp-shade iMac we have had since those came out. Psyched for many reasons, not least of which will better HC surfing at home.

I am looking forward to hearing it during speaker hours at this very formal meet we have coming up.

Happy birthday indeed! Have a great one tomorrow Vicki, and yet another toast needed for Tampa. Maybe this one will be wheat grass! Cheers!

You're right Nate, they seem tired as hell and the lopsided pitching staffs right now is killing them. Good to see the ManRammer is getting Dodger Blue Balls wishing he could go to the WS and show up the Sox. Small consolation. I think it is even funnier that there won't be any hordes of Rays fans. I hope that wasn't too elitist.

I am more than happy that the Phillies are giving the Dodgers a drubbing, but a Phillies-Tampa Bay world series would be massively ignored.

I did request it over on HF. I don't think that they sell an amp. Just seems odd to me and I wouldn't want Fang to spend all that money thinking he was going to a bigger meet.

I just saw that Head Direct was going to the meet. It seems odd that Fang would come to Marin for a handful of people instead of going to LA for that meet. Should we tell him? Assuming he does come, hopefully he will bring the HeAudio Jade stats. That would be very cool.

No blackgates? I guess you were just too Tempted.

Holy crap that video is weird. Does Hank Jr. use some kind of monkey sign language or something? He keeps pointing at his head or eyes or whatever, and even makes a blinky hand gesture for that fine line of poetry. Anyway, watching the video makes this even more disturbing.

Because if you blink you might miss it when Putin rears his head over Alaska. Duh.

grawk says move on, we're standing strong . . . It doesn't seem that you like political discussion here Dan. Maybe there should be a rule like HF if you are going to squelch humorous remarks that are even music-related. The lryics are a bunch of gobbledygook, but my favorite part is that he sings about a "Sarah Palin tradition" when nobody heard of her 6 weeks ago. No wait, the best part is when it seems that he calls John McCain a "hey-goodlookin dish."

No chance, sorry.

Reks, you clearly need some thrum in your day.

But grawk wanted the new one and would not be able to use the Duet with it.

Apogee Duet users are bummed for sure...

Go faster and bigger.
