Old Pa Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 New arrival: Congratulations. And I see we have the same interior decorator.
n_maher Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 Nationite S:Flo Touch Screen 8GB Did this thing ever show up? Impressions? Early Xmas shoppers are curious.
Aura Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 Sennheiser HD201 on the 'bay. I hope to grab a 2GB iPod Shuffle as well, and combine the two as a Christmas gift for my mom. Every time she listens to my rig, she says "you know, I love music, I don't know why I don't listen more". Time to fix that .
Hopstretch Posted November 12, 2008 Report Posted November 12, 2008 Sweet. Chorus 706? What do those go for nowadays?
swt61 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Posted November 12, 2008 Mmmm! Focals and tubes, very nice Renato! So you can enjoy an amp that you did not build as well huh? Though you'll probably have an urge to tweak it.
Looser101 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Posted November 12, 2008 Sweet. Chorus 706? What do those go for nowadays? ~$550CAD stands not included. Very impressive speaker for the money. Mmmm! Focals and tubes, very nice Renato! So you can enjoy an amp that you did not build as well huh? Though you'll probably have an urge to tweak it. Sure I can. I bought it used so it will get opened soon. Had the screwdriver in my hand before I even plugged it in, but thought better of it. Got some extra tubes too.

JBLoudG20 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Posted November 12, 2008 Sometimes I wish I didn't build amplifiers, and was just happy to buy them. I just can't
grawk Posted November 12, 2008 Report Posted November 12, 2008 You build amps? Have you mentioned that to deepak?
JBLoudG20 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Posted November 12, 2008 You build amps? Have you mentioned that to deepak? Mostly I break amps, but occasionally I build them.

Voltron Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 Wear those with that techno jacket of yours and you will rule all the geeks on campus!
thrice Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 Wear those with that techno jacket of yours and you will rule all the geeks on campus! [righteous indignation] It is not a techno jacket, it's a TEC jacket incorporating PAN™ technology (that's Personal Area Network). Thank you very much. [\righteous indignation]
Dusty Chalk Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 Ooh, ooh, ooh -- let me know how you like them, I've been tempted by one of those Audio Technica clip-ons for my late night walks. PS I have a techno jacket. There's nothing technological about it, but I bet I could get into a discotheque with it.
thrice Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 Ooh, ooh, ooh -- let me know how you like them, I've been tempted by one of those Audio Technica clip-ons for my late night walks. So far, not so good. They are not comfortable at all. The clip part digs into the tops of my ears. Sound-wise they are about as good as I expected them to be. Shy in the bass and some awkwardness in tonality in the mids. Overall they lean to the treble just a bit with smooth mids. If it weren't for the comfort issue I'd keep them. I'll fiddle a bit to see if I can make it work, but frankly there are cheaper options. I knew these were a bit of a chance (what with being a glasses wearer and all) but I was hoping for the best.
