Duggeh Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Because they are sold in bundles of 4 and I want to play. 8 means 4 pairs which means eventually 3 homebrew headphones and 1 broken foul up. Might as well grab a few more seeing as they're coming all the way from California anyway.
faust3d Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Cool. have fun making new phones Duggeh. Please make sure to pot pics when you got them
Dusty Chalk Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 while i haven't bought it yet (gotta wait for my next paycheck), i just made a deal to buy the Odyssey Stratos on audiogon. should be paying for it next week.(crosses fingers for Reks)
Smeggy Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Chisels, wood and sticky tape. Weekend woodturning here I come!
Augsburger Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 12 year old Macallan for my CPA, bottle of Remy XO for me.........................'cause of my taxes. I am tempted to drink most of the Remy tonight but I have a sixty mile hilly bike ride tomorrow and I don't like throwing up on rides.

Ok well I have, but a $30 bottle will taste the same ofter 3 or 4 glasses.
Smeggy Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Do what Reks does, have a couple of glasses of the good stuff, then switch to turpentine.
Smeggy Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 get it right, i switch to pine-sol mixed with lighter fluid. duh. Oh, too good for plain old turps now are we? I dunno, he buys some spiffy speaker rig and thinks he's the dogs dinner...

My intent was to buy the Remy, which I love, as a treat. .... and keep treating myself until I stop thinking about all the money I have to donate to the state and feds.
Augsburger Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 As for the Pine Sol, I already feel like I have been given an IRS Pine Sol enema.
aardvark baguette Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 used Nugget Audio Betta 22 (thanks socrates63!) 12 pack of Mountain Dew The amp is for my office. New furniture arrives Monday, so the amp will make the journey to Rockville Pike on Tuesday or Wednesday. I hooked it up in my basement for the weekend. Sounds DAMN good. Seems a little more aggressive with rock/metal than the HP4, but that was a quick knee-jerk impression with a completely different DAC than my bedroom rig (Pico, as opposed to Bel Canto Dac3). I can literally see the perplexed faces of my coworkers right now "whats that thing?"..."headphone amp"..."you need that big thing for a pair of headphones?...you're crazy"... such is life
n_maher Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Glad to see the amp in another happy home, I still miss it and I'm growing more sure by the day that selling it in the first place was a dumbass thing to do.
hirsch Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Never encourage a pen collector to show off pens. We'll do it. Here's a sampling:
boomana Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Okay, Hirsch, those are pretty. One of my co-workers has been collecting pens for 15 years or so and brings them in to show me and tell me all about them. I've not been tempted to start buying, but I have to say he's piqued my interest, and have to admit that holding a really good pen in your hand is very nice.
grawk Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 I'd collect pens, but as a lefty, all a fountain pen does is smudge.
Smeggy Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 you could try writing with your teeth. Where do you put the ink
Salt Peanuts Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 while i haven't bought it yet (gotta wait for my next paycheck), i just made a deal to buy the Odyssey Stratos on audiogon. should be paying for it next week. So I'm two days late to this, but I'm glad to hear you may finally have a solution to your amp problem, Reks.
JBLoudG20 Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Posted April 12, 2008 As for the Pine Sol, I already feel like I have been given an IRS Pine Sol enema. Wrong time to mention I am getting $1300 back?
JBLoudG20 Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Posted April 12, 2008 I'd collect pens, but as a lefty, all a fountain pen does is smudge. LEFTIES
grawk Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Wrong time to mention I am getting $1300 back? That means you gave them a $1300 interest free loan.
JBLoudG20 Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Posted April 12, 2008 That means you gave them a $1300 interest free loan. Correct. But its found money, in my eyes
