So sorry Brent. RIP Joseph, way too young.....

You're just eating into your profits

I actually meant consciousness (with some level of exaggeration). The guy was as close to unconscious as humanly possible while still able to walk and talk! It was so bizarre that i couldn't even get mad at him....

Ultimately, we laughed as well. It was a great study of human behavior, or the complete absence of emotion and just about any sense of consciousness!

RIP Justin and Bobby. So sad about Justin....and DAMN if my heart didn't skip a beat thinking about OUR Justin Wilson! I met Bobby once, what a passionate person he was. So very enthusiastic, and never stopped trying to get the best out of his speakers. I wanted to name one of my current pair of cats Merlin, in homage to his company. Got one of two - Gryphon, but not Merlin.

Nice, Jacob, good to have the connections. My wife just had a run-in with her old 3rd party VW service folks. Old owner sold it to lead mechanic, who has just run the place into the ground. Some questionable things, work done without authorization (though it would have been approved anyway, that's not the point). When my wife told me he kept on saying no (blankly) to her questions, I went in with her to pick it up. Damned if the guy didn't sit there and blankly say no some more, including the question "Don't you care about a 15-year customer who has questions or concerns?" So new repair service to be found, and this guy will likely be OUT of business very soon.

All the best from here as well, sorry to hear of the continued detours to getting fully better....

All of the above, repeated. Get Well Soon!

Wow, didn't realize she was all those roles! RIP Yvonne......

This....those were pretty much "staple" shows

Happy Birthday!

No one famous, but RIP to one of my oldest friend's dad, Irving Bieler. My mom and my friend Larry's mom have known each other since they were 13. Larry and I grew up in the same town until his family moved to MD when he was about 14 or so. We always kept in touch, and he moved around a fair bit, landing back here in MA once for a few years. Larry and I are 50. He lost his brother to cancer last year (I think his brother was only 1 or 2 years older). And he just lost his dad to cancer as well. So, RIP "Uncle" Irv, and fuck fuck fuck fuck you cancer!

Just seeing this on the larger screen, pretty epic! I also like the plans for the house/trailer.... Congrat, and good luck with all plans!

Ouch, wishing you, your back, and your place all the best Dan! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Bummer. Good luck Carl, and like Al says, here's to NO on large reptilian things.

I see a potential market opportunity. Genetically engineered pigs who produce flat bacon. [runs off to see if there's a patent]

For commercial/pre-made, there are some nice ones from Omega (cheaper price) and Teresonic (mid to high). Lowther USA used to sell some decent pre-made bass reflex designs with options for the drivers, I used to own a pair that were pretty nice. Audience The One (or multi-driver variations all with single drivers being driven full range) have been on my "I ought to try them out" radar, too. A bunch of individual people/companies pop up as well. Blumenstein, John Blue, etc. I have been looking for cabinets like Occam Audio's FR-4 (discontinued, and they won't make any more). I have a set of 3 CSS FR-125 drivers and would like to try that for desktop or very small space. Then of course are the discontinued: Loth-X (maybe still around), Moth, Cain & Cain (unless someone kept it going after Terry's death), etc.

Interesting....what rubbed you the wrong way, if you're willing to say? In any case, good that an offer was there. EDIT: and Damn! I was hoping to have an "in" for that multi-vitamin price reduction!

Happy Birthday Tom! Hope things are going well in the new place!

Thanks for the work and upgrade Todd! Looking nice to me so far, haven't flexed much forum muscle yet though

At noon. At work. Having just arrived.

Thanks, and good luck! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

^^^ Agree and disagree, and for my example the Oppo HA-1 is perfect. I was indeed wow'd by the detail, bass slam, and the bells and whistles it offered when I first heard it. Over time, though, I was engaged less and less, not more - IE, I adjusted away from the sound, not towards it. The new normal was not quite as pleasing to me, even though I had used it for months. I think in many cases you're absolutely right, we do adjust to a component's sound and often accept it. But not in this case for me.....

QFT. Longer-term listening bears out a lot.....
