guzziguy Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 Just signed a purchase & sign for a house (nothing big came up on the house inspection). The closing is in 3 weeks! Congratulations. Buying a house is always a little scary. Good luck.

naamanf Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 Oh, somebody was auditing a pair of this so I sat down and listened as well and I was blown awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay The Focal Be speakers are on my short list of favorites. Actually the first Focals I really liked. I don't like the Wilsons that use the Focal drivers and never liked the older Utopias. Like them so much I use the Be tweeters in my car.

But not their tweeters. People hated them. I stopped reading about car audio since getting my car done, so I dont know if this is still the case. This was before any of the 'be' stuff came out.

I wouldn't wish the older Utopia tweeters on my worst enemy. Bright POS they were. The W cone drivers were okay. The new Be tweeters are a different animal and sound really really good. The Be mids are good but I prefer (and use) Scan Speak Revelators.
krrm Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 Linky? I shall not provide Fitz link, but I got this http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11337 one. Replaced stock cpu fan with a very slow 120 mm case fan above the cpu. In addition to the motherboard the server got a 3,5" + 2 x 2,5" disks, 1GB ram and a 12V 80W picoPSU-80.

Thermos 'Hydration Bottle' Two boxes of Kashi GOLEAN Protein & Fiber Bars Crunchy, Chocolate Peanut 1.76-Ounce bars (pack of 24) Two packs of Eclipse Sugar free Big-E Pak Gum, SpearMint I've never tried the Kashi before, but its time to cut back on the calories, and these should make good meal-replacements/supplements
Salt Peanuts Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 Congrats Haj! That's awesome! Thanks! Of course, it's also bit nerve-wracking, too. At least I know what I'll be doing on weekends for the foreseeable future.
en480c4 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 Yeah... I ate little and slept even less for about 2 months before my closing. Stressful but definitely well worth it.
Salt Peanuts Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 Yeah, like having a listening room, even though it's on small side, is definitely a plus. Of course, we have to find a reputable contractor or two after the closing so we can take preventative measures on some minor issues. That should be fun (my family as a whole has had very bad experience with contractors).
Salt Peanuts Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 Mario Kart Wii and an extra Wii Wheel. Also, grocery for the week and more stuff to make chocolate mousse.
909 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 after seeing a flick at arclight cinemas in hollywood, went across the street to amoeba music and bought metallica kill 'em all & guns n' roses appetite for destruction both on vinyl.
hYdrociTy Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 three runs of 8 AWG wire and 'nice' power plugs for the upcoming Phantom power cord- built for a certain famous tube amp.

swt61 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Posted April 28, 2008 three runs of 8 AWG wire and 'nice' power plugs for the upcoming Phantom power cord- built for a certain famous tube amp. I knew you two had some kind of relationship!
n_maher Posted April 28, 2008 Report Posted April 28, 2008 I knew you two had some kind of relationship! I do not think it is what you think it is. Either that or it's news to me...
Salt Peanuts Posted April 28, 2008 Report Posted April 28, 2008 90K mile checkup along with the lower control arm bushing replacement for my car.
Duggeh Posted April 28, 2008 Report Posted April 28, 2008 One of a kind (probably), Stax to XLR cable from Spritzer. We shall soon see how the H2 does with some direct drive.
naamanf Posted April 28, 2008 Report Posted April 28, 2008 That it pretty much what the HE stats come with as an adapter. I am sure the quality of that one exceeds the HE version.
dvse Posted April 28, 2008 Report Posted April 28, 2008 One of a kind (probably), Stax to XLR cable from Spritzer. We shall soon see how the H2 does with some direct drive. Try it now! What are you waiting for?
Duggeh Posted April 28, 2008 Report Posted April 28, 2008 It to arrive... Also I'm going to plug into an SRM-212 first. Just in case some unforeseen and freak circumstance might damage the amp or headphones. Id rather blow up a 212 than a 717. But the 212 is 12 miles away. Ill get it while I'm back home tomo.
spritzer Posted April 28, 2008 Report Posted April 28, 2008 That it pretty much what the HE stats come with as an adapter. I am sure the quality of that one exceeds the HE version. The plug fits into a Stax socket on this one so that's an improvement...
