Les_Garten Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 Thanks folks, I might take the plunge. Going to Win7-64 is a good excuse to get that 4Gb RAM upgrade I've been hankering for as well I'm running Win 7 x64 on my laptop and it's solid as a rock. ZERO problems ever. Vista, what were they thinkin' when they released that POS! No comparison to 7.
Knuckledragger Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) Outlaw is selling Final S110 subwoofers for $200/ea or $330 for two: Outlaw Audio Edit: As is now standard operating procedure for Outlaw, their site is freaking the fuck out right after they announce a deal. Edited June 16, 2010 by Knuckledragger I like pie.
aardvark baguette Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 It would be funny if they just nuked it from an ftp client each time, to make it look like demand, then restore pages a while later.

Salt Peanuts Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 Pretty damn good deal on Shun Ken Onion knife set on Woot. Two of the knives are serrated, though. [url=http://www.woot.com/]Woot
tyrion Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 The serrated knives is an issue for me. I've been advised that knives have been bought for me but I've also been told they are not the ones I want but are returnable.
Salt Peanuts Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 Agreed (in regards to the serrated knives). If it weren't for those two serrated knives in the set, I'd have bought them a second, even though we already have few Shun Classic knives.
agile_one Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 I have that Shun K.O. kit, and have no issues with the serrateds. Great for what they are designed for ... slicing. Nothing better for tomatoes, bread, roast beef, ham, turkey, etc. It is a great deal for the set. I do, however have a problem with the steel ... thrown in for American sensibilities, as I think "real' japanese knife users would never touch their blades with one.
Les_Garten Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 I have a Henckel knife set with 2 serrated blades. one for bread and one serrated 5" utility/Tomato Slicer knife. They are absolutely fabulous knives. They are a pain to sharpen, but well worth it when sharp and used properly. Even though they are serrated, they are sharp as Razors. They are hollow ground serrations.
Les_Garten Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 That's probably true, but I can say that cutting bread with the sharp serrated bread knife is pretty snazzy!

LarsMarkelson Posted June 19, 2010 Report Posted June 19, 2010 Emotiva Audio: Audiophile Quality Multi Channel Amplifiers, Stereo Preamplifiers, Audio/Video Processors, and Award Winning Speaker Systems At Direct Prices Emotiva July 4th sale just started 10% off all products 20% off cables free shipping free t-shirt
Nebby Posted June 19, 2010 Report Posted June 19, 2010 Wow, 10% + free shipping. That's not bad at all!
LarsMarkelson Posted June 19, 2010 Report Posted June 19, 2010 Indeed, it's pretty darn good. I wonder if the 10% and free shipping applies to B-Stock items as well, I'm thinking yes. B-stock items aren't listed on their site but I called a couple days ago and know they have an XPA-2 for $699, which comes out to $629.10 with free shipping.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Posted June 21, 2010 Today appears to be "hard disk day" at Amazon GoldBox. All-day deal == Seagate 1.5T for $76; current hourly deal == Seagate 2T NAS $170.
Yikes Posted June 22, 2010 Report Posted June 22, 2010 Of course the Emotiva deal doesn't include the UMC-1, which is what I've been teetering on the edge about ordering for several months. Maybe I'll order a 5 channel amp that I'll need when the UMC-1 starts shipping.
Nebby Posted June 22, 2010 Report Posted June 22, 2010 In case anyone was wondering, the deal doesn't include B-stock items; I called to ask and they said no. In other news I picked up an UPA-1.
Knuckledragger Posted June 22, 2010 Report Posted June 22, 2010 In other news I picked up an UPA-1. Cool, what are you gonna drive with it? Center channel, I presume.
Nebby Posted June 22, 2010 Report Posted June 22, 2010 Cool, what are you gonna drive with it? Center channel, I presume. You're correct
Nebby Posted June 22, 2010 Report Posted June 22, 2010 As for the speaker it's currently an old Energy center channel but once I get the time I'll be building a ZA5.3c MTM Center channel to replace it; hopefully I can tint my cherry veneer to the reddish-orange color that my AU265's have.
