Soapstone's strength depends on where it was quarried, so you might just need stronger stone - ie. structural as opposed to carving soapstone. Liquid N might be a bit much for any rock though.

Have a happy one, Larry!

Happy birthday!

What is the meaning of the name? According to this, it translates from Icelandic to English as "Clearly Randi flash". I suspect there's something incorrect about that.

George R.R. Martin was interviewed on CBC radio this morning. You can stream it here.

Happy belated!

I just got back from vacation to find a 1984 Sony D-5A portable cdp waiting for me in the mail. Plugging my HD600s into it, I think I may be able to put off the amp upgrade bug for awhile. It's sounding great to me, and the saved money is going in the speaker jar.

Thanks, and sorry for the forum pollution.

Because this thread needs more horseshit: I think I may be in a position to do a wee upgrade in the next few weeks. Can anyone offer suggestions? I have HD600s, which I like a lot. I consider my sources okay, some of them at least. My various amps, however, will not get me into anyone's pants at a headphone meet (a couple of portables and an L-pad). I've never heard anything electrostatic, and I'm Stax-curious. So, can Senn fans comment on what I otter do? My obvious options, as I see them given my budget, are along the lines of either upgrading my amp to something decent and experiencing the scalability of my HD600s, or getting a set of Stax SR-Lambda with an energizer. Would the Lambdas be more of a lateral move, just a different flavour but not necessarily better than the HD600s?

Here is the relevant passage, in case you didn't see it: Now, I'm not going to tell you to get lost, because you seem like a courteous person so far and, being Canadian, I like that. Just consider this a friendly warning that noobs tend to get worked over pretty harshly for posting too much all at once, and it often snowballs into a ban. Read some of the old threads where new people ask for advice about headphones or amps for specific examples. Then keep reading, because you will probably learn more that way than by asking us anyway.

Nice article, and seems to provide links to good references. I like.

Happy birthday!

Have a happy one, Nate!

Happy birthday!

Congrats!!!

Happity birthday!

You can get them in wood, but it looks like the chair will be a big problem given the woofer placement in the towers: link

PSB, Paradigm... if we're going to discuss Canadian speaker makers, I'm going to shout out Energy as well. I'm not sure about your desired pricepoint, but the Veritas towers sound amazing.

Happy birthday Colin! Hope it rocks.

Hey David, welcome to the party! Read the welcome PM, and don't get too upset if people start throwing beer bottles at you. I hope you stick around.

As long as it's not falsely advertised as a really big one, a little one can provide a lot of enjoyment, absolutely.

Happy birthday! May your cake be tasty and your wood polished.
