Wmcmanus Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Oops, I mean $40k. But it has to be a complete system. I've been thinking about downsizing. Any advice? Newbie here. Things seem a little turned upside down here. It might take me a while to adjust and get myself turned right side up, but I'll try. So that's it for my first post. Oh, except to say "Hi, all you mother fuckers and pond scum lickers!" I can say that here, can't I? It was nice talking to some of you at CanJam.
Wmcmanus Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Posted June 4, 2009 First bitch. My pic won't show up. It loads in my profile but doesn't show in my avatar.
Wmcmanus Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Posted June 4, 2009 I like that "Clause" thing, Dan. Normally Claus, but the lawyer in me appreciates the subtle twist, whether intended or not on your part. Not that there's much lawyer left in me these days.
Wmcmanus Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Posted June 4, 2009 Uh, gone already! That's probably better. Claus. Ya, that's it!
Wmcmanus Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Posted June 4, 2009 That's your profile picture, not your avatar Doh!!!
grawk Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 yah, well, it's 3am, if you prefer clause, I'll put it back
boomana Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Wayne!!!!! I'll trade you some $40 headphones for your HE-90s.
Wmcmanus Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Posted June 4, 2009 yah, well, it's 3am, if you prefer clause, I'll put it back No, Claus is cool. If you had intended Clause, I'd keep it. But since you didn't, I won't.
grawk Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 I"ll stand by my typo then, I meant it, and was more clever than I realized Anyway, glad to have you, be sure and read your welcome pm
Wmcmanus Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Posted June 4, 2009 Wayne!!!!! I'll trade you some $40 headphones for your HE-90s. No, Vicki. It has to be a whole system! I hate people don't read my posts COMPLETELY!!! Plus, you know how my headphone systems work. Start with 3 racks of granite shelves, then load them up with a bunch of amps and sources, add several coat racks of headphones...
Wmcmanus Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Posted June 4, 2009 avatar and title look perfect to me Fixed it already. I'm quick. Up to nearly 10 posts already. Not even thinking about heeding Dan's automated warning: Think of it like the corner bar where everyone knows each other. Don't mistake our familiarity with each other as familiarity with you, even if you've seen our names in other locations before.
boomana Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 bah, it's 3AM and I only read thread titles coherently. uh....not heeding the pm never works out well, though if you buy everyone drinks at a real bar sometime, that might sway some folks, but not all.
blessingx Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Welcome and seems you're already decompressing.
Wmcmanus Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Posted June 4, 2009 Welcome and seems you're already decompressing. It's hard not to when listening to JJ Cale on the HD800s! He's so smooth, man. Saw him in Kansas City in the mid 90s once. It was a small dinner theater type of place with maybe 300 people there at most, and he shows up dressed pretty casually, pulls up a wooden stool and just starts strummin' and singing one song after the other, totally effortlessly just like on his albums. Cocaine, Call Me the Breeze, After Midnight... anyway, new album is called "Roll On" and I'm giving it a thumbs up if you're into that kind of stuff. Much better produced than his early stuff. No grain at all. Of course, the HD800 probably help in that regard.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Considering who you are, I don't think the warning applies in your case. Even I know who you are, and I hardly frequent Head-Fi anymore at all. Welcome to head-case, sorry about your thin skin, the back of your head, and your liver.
Wmcmanus Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Posted June 4, 2009 Considering who you are, I don't think the warning applies in your case. Even I know who you are, and I hardly frequent Head-Fi anymore at all. Ya, I figured that much. I don't believe we ever met over there (in a virtual sense, of course). I kind of like the thin skin greeting I've been seeing here, BTW. Anyway, thanks for the greeting.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) In answer to the original question: Philips SHP8500/27, obviously. + $10 mp3 player (yes, they exist; no, they're not iPods). And that leaves $15 in change.Is that a lizard eating a watermelon, Dusty?That's what it looks like to me. (Or possibly a lizard about to eat a watermelon, I think is what the original image was.)

boomana Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Dusty wins for the most random selection of avatars!
donunus Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 "Hi, all you mother fuckers and pond scum lickers!" I can say that here, can't I? Watch out wayne, the mods here are ruthless. I got temporarily banned here the other day for using the term "tin eared slut" hehehe
CD44hi Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Damn, just what we needed, another HF newbie.... I'd say start with the phillips HP-1000, they are great band for the buck Welcome Wayne!
Duggeh Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Watch out wayne, the mods here are ruthless. I got temporarily banned here the other day for using the term "tin eared slut" hehehe I'm sure it won't take you long to manage the full ban. Also my salutations to santa!
