My dog Denver passed this morning. She had been declining over the last two weeks to the point where I had to carry her outside to go to the bathroom. We found out she had cancer in her spleen and liver so we decided to end the suffering today. She was 10 1/2. Here are a few pics. The one with the headphones is from the first meet I hosted:

Happy birthday Frank! I hope you had some time to enjoy some tunes and have a couple of beers on your big day. Or possibly design and build a world class amp. Cheers!

Have a wonderful birthday to my good friend Mike! 40 at last!

I think we can all agree that audio is a pretty subjective hobby, and that we all have different tastes and preferences, not to mention that we hear differently as well. With that out of the way, we move on to what happens when we start debating the merits of various gear, I may think "gear x" sucks while someone else says it's the best damn thing since the invention of modern contraceptives. So far I think we're still in the region where it's all just opinion, and everyone's viewpoint has equal or almost equal validity to it. But what happens when someone makes a clearly unsupportable statement and claims that it's just his opinion and that his word is worth as much a…

A roommate of mine died a few years ago and everyone his family has taken all that they want to remember him by and while cleaning out the garage I found this guitar. I contacted his parents and they said that I could keep it for cleaning out all of his stuff. Hofner made a ton of hollow bodied electric guitars and I can't find this specific model. The only lettering I can find is Hofn and 1946, Berlin. The back has the serial number nv0550 andd the date 2-10-49. can you guys help me out?

Happy birthday! I hope today was a good one for you.

Right here, in Grand Cayman, and less than 2 miles from my house... Ok, so I know it seems silly, but I've been living here for 13+ years and until now, there hasn't been a 24-hour anything. It took years before we finally had wholesale grocery stores, and the ones we have now are not exactly discount houses. Nearly everything in the retail world closes at 5pm, restaurants close by 9 or 10, and nothing (I mean nothing at all) is open on Sunday except about 150 churches and a couple of gas stations. As an old fart bachelor who doesn't cook (at all) and the kind of dude who stays up all night at least once per week for no particular reason, all I can say is that i…

Anyone wants to play a game? Post a picture of a band or even just one performer and everyone can guess who the hell it is. If no one knows original poster should post the answer. Once identity is revealed post next new pic. I will start this off with an easy one. [ATTACH=CONFIG]3233[/ATTACH]

Have a BIG birthday Lloyd! Cheers!

Tyll hope you are having a great day! Thanks for being you, I'll be raising a pint in your honor later today,

Just wanted to wish all dads a Happy Father's Day today. Busy day for us, brunch w/in-laws, a visit to my dad, a graduation party, and MAYBE a dinner out, TBD. My wife Karen comes into our kitchen, where Andrew and I are talking. She steps back into the hallway, and says, "Andrew come here a minute...." Being the 15-yo boy, he annoyingly asks, "What....?!" And I reply, "Mom wants you to sign my card...." Nice chuckles all around. I told him he better write something good or I'll keep beating the shit out of him. I'm not the perfect dad, he's not the perfect son, but I am so much in love with this kid!

Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Mike!

Thats one happy pussycat!

Happy Birthday BA Boy!! Enjoy the day!

Have a great one!!

Have a happy high calorie birthday

I hope your special day is baconful.

So I had to come back to Atlanta to do my transfer to a different store up in VA. Just my laptop and a pr. of senn hd201s. Then here comes the king of all friends...(that would be Purk) Brings me a pair of HD800 and HD650's. Sets up new software on my laptop, brings all cables and a nuforce converter, along with headroom desktop headphone amp/dac and desktop power supply. After 7 months of health issues and not being able to work, getting back in the groove was not easy. Having these tunes to come home to has made so much difference! Thanks just doesn't cover this much trouble and time he's put into this hook up. He's the best
