  1. That is the legendary Maccaferri G40, made from Styron. Plastic never sounded better.
  2. Hopefully you got my meaning. I agree that most quality instruments are made of wood. Headphones aren't instruments, though, they're transducers.
  3. Charlie Parker with his famous Grafton Plastic Alto. He only played it in France, as I understand it, because of contract and sponsorship issues. Great horn.
  4. This really chaps me. Wood is used in instruments because it is resonant. Resonance is what you do not want in a speaker cabinet, unless it is specifically intended to augment certain frequencies. I am so sick of the "real instruments are made of wood" argument.
  5. I'm thinking like this, but with wood. I know some trees by your place.
  6. I'm assuming he's using the "cable pants" bullshit Y splitter because it's the first one he found and didn't have to fabricate. I think that thing is ugly as sin.
  7. Steve: expect a call about some mahogany curb feelers.
  8. Smoked taillight covers for my A6. I am ashamed.
  9. Luckily, the cables I build also have quality issues.
  10. The only part of that site I like is the $39 stock D5000 cable. $40 saves me the trouble of building, terminating and jacketing a cable, which is worth it in my eyes. It's nothing special, but neither is his $500 cable, so hey.
  11. Which parts of the plastic virgin are teflon and which parts are natural? At least she'll be warm
  12. "Placement on automotive CPUs has measurably increased engine horsepower." Do you have to affix it with ERS tape?
  13. Were the wire and the caps on the inside, or is mere proximity enough now?
  14. I was thinking more of a "drop-shipped to an Arab Sheik" situation, but the sheik lost all of his play money on a camel race and John got stuck with the bag.
  15. Neither do snowflakes. However, you have to be pretty close to tell the difference.
  16. Yeah they look like every Lambda I've ever seen. Tough to tell which model from the picture, but it doesn't really matter. Mccoy Tyner in Stax is enough for me.
  17. I'll bite, but on HF if that's okay with you. A little "pearls before swine", I know...
  18. I remember smeggy mentioning something about how the best housing for the SFIs was basically a wooden hockey puck... seems like he wasn't too far off.
  19. I am leery about purchasing such a thing from Ho Chi Minh City.
  20. Depends. If you buy two they deliver the first as described, and the second is simply dropped from altitude and expected to find its own way.
  21. and/or "spinner" volume knob.
  22. Nanotube tweeter.
  23. Y'all bitches got me thirsty. Celebrating my first successful case (in front of the board of county commissioners... ) I like it so far. A little easier on the palate than my Laphroaig.
  24. Finished ep.3 last night. I've got them DL'ed up to 6, so I'll let you know if it picks up. It's not traditional Dexter as of yet, but I appreciate where it's heading.
