You forget, you've already been arrested once for spy cams:

I chose to bypass that requirement for two reasons: 1) It is dumb. Everyone needs moar glo. 2) His first three mentioned amps are tube amps (before he professes to be a solid state guy). Perhaps the OP excluded the WA22 from the list because he was unaware it could power K1000s well? Seemed a risk worth taking.

If you're going for this range of amps, why not get one with a 4-pin XLR in front for the K1000 rather than dick with the binding posts? Seems like the WA22 should at least be on the list.

Whoah, wait, the super great sounding pair? Smeggy, you didn't!

You know, Nate, if you let someone populate all your boards for you you'll never lose the "drills round holes" moniker.

That they are, and I picked them up from the little pull-out parts drawer at Home Depot. Lowes had a handful last time I was there, as well. It took me two trips a month apart to get all that I needed, and I cleaned them out both times. I also opted for the "2 in front, 1 in back" threaded rod combo, againstrecommendations. Aside from having the power cord constantly hung up on that back rod when I am changing connections, I feel it was the right decision.

Yeah, It's a standard Flexy. I have some much better pictures I should put up. Pretty much the easiest DIY I've ever attempted. It looks worse the closer you get, but without too much more effort it could really look pretty good. I might have to contact Dr. Wood about some proper shelves at some point.

Meanwhile, my beautiful RS-1 sit lonely...

That's not really the sort of avenging I was hoping for.

I'll let you know, Al. If I don't, please avenge my slow, agonizing death.

I plucked some foam, and watched the first disc of BSG season 1.

That he did, and it seems a strange proclamation, to say the least.

No one whose opinion I trust, no. It's a bit of a flying leap, at this point.

tl;dr If it was about some new way to sell music, my suggestion is to make it easier than stealing music.

Gentlemen, please, do not trust a car stereo demo loop on youtube as a reference measure.

That made my night, Larry. I, too, am ready for the weekend.

How is it you think he builds these wonderful toys?

Doorbell?

Gentlemen... we have been given a golden opportunity.

Except not one Nelson sweated all over.

Mostly because it sounds better. None of them are wider than a rack space, though, so they should all fit anywhere your GES would. The ECD-1 was/is a great DAC, but for the price I think better can be had. It's probably in the top 10%, nonetheless. If you decide to do the Cullen mod business (which is apparently good stuff), I'd sell your existing unit as stock and buy a modded one. Saves about $100 and a few weeks. You're shipping something and having something shipped to you either way.

... I'll get my coat.
