guzziguy Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Congrats Boo. One day I too will enter the 20th cantury and get a cell phone leash. FIFY
mulveling Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Bought orange tulips and Ramen (her request) for my girlfriend's lunch. I told her she'd be better off, nutritionally, eating the tulips and keeping the Ramen on display. If you end up with just one I'll put my balaclava on and go raid their warehouse. Well it looks like they ARE sold in pairs, hooray! Unfortunately Stone Audio's had a bit of trouble verifying the billing address with my Visa so the order has been delayed. A bit of a hassle and a few buck in international phone call charges later, I'm hoping it's been resolved and that these things ship tomorrow. Assuming things go off without a hitch now, I'll need some sort of light & flexible speaker cable for these tweeters. Tannoy's SuperLink cable looks nice but the 0.75m is too short for the Kensingtons and the 1.75m version is a bit steep. I'm thinking a simple 18-20 AWG solid core OCC or Silver twisted pair would be perfect.
swt61 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Can't wait to see a pic of the little beauties sitting on top of your big beauties! That will be one damned fine speaker rig Sir, and I'm completely jealous. A bad ass reel to reel would really complete the retro look.
mulveling Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Thanks Steve! I'll be sure to take new pics then. I've just moved my speaker rig back to its previous (longtime) positioning arrangement, after deciding that not only looks better and is more functional - but it sounds better there, too. I had to try the "fire down the room's long dimension" approach since that's what's traditionally suggested - it just hasn't worked out that way for me, thus far. A bad ass reel to reel would really complete the retro look. Arrrgg! That's a fine idea, but one that I really don't need running around in my head right now
Dusty Chalk Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Broke down and bought a 16-gig iphone. I think I'm going to like it.Current gen?Well it looks like they ARE sold in pairs, hooray! & Hurray!
grawk Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 a bag with 3 craps in it (coupon code snail, if you can get through)
Fitz Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Still trying to buy my craps, server is crawling...
swt61 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Still trying to buy my craps, server is crawling... Oh sorry, I wasn't aware that Victoria's Secret was having issues with their server.
n_maher Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 I'm thinking a simple 18-20 AWG solid core OCC or Silver twisted pair would be perfect. That's 18ga UPOCC, twisted and covered with NMF. Makes a very nice speaker cable in my book but not exactly small.
mulveling Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 That's 18ga UPOCC, twisted and covered with NMF. Makes a very nice speaker cable in my book but not exactly small. That looks like it would be perfect in the right length. I think it's time to find out more about VinceVaughn Audio
The Monkey Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 EC/SS arrived last night. I haven't had a chance to listen yet, but the pics don't do this amp justice. I think it's a very nice looking piece of gear.
Hopstretch Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 That's 18ga UPOCC, twisted and covered with NMF. Makes a very nice speaker cable in my book but not exactly small. In my book and in my binding posts.

Duggeh Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Well it looks like they ARE sold in pairs, hooray! What am I supposed to do with this grappling hook and crossbow I just bought?
naamanf Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 a bag with 3 craps in it (coupon code snail, if you can get through) The bag looked like a good deal. Not sure about the shipping though.
Dusty Chalk Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 What am I supposed to do with this grappling hook and crossbow I just bought? Practise? There's plenty of good ninja work around, I'm sure.
grawk Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 with the coupon, there was a $999,999,995 discount
Smeggy Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Oh, nice. Saw that in the builds thread. Very neat and tidy inside.
