Salt Peanuts

I'm looking forward to it as well, once I can hear better. I also need to reterminate RS-1's for balanced operation.

As the subject states, my GS-X has arrived. I received the amp yesterday and quickly set it up in my system once I got home from work. As some of you are already aware, the amp looks really, really nice, both inside and out. It is bit smaller than I had expected, especially after getting used to the size of a Gilmore Reference that I used to own. I'll post some pics soon when I get around to taking out my camera. No listening impressions yet since I'm having issues with my ears/hearing right now due to horrible allergy and sinus condition that I've been suffering.

Does anyone know how well something like ONEAC CD1105 or CP1107 would work as a power conditioner?

That, I think, is an understatement, Nate.

I've never heard the amp, but I love it's looks - one huge friggin' heatsink.

Man, that sucks. Here's hoping it gets fixed quickly. *Slaps self in the head for not listening to it more at the previous meets.

Mmmm, shiny silver wires.... I also rather liked the silver-gold cables I got to try out.

Can I bitch and whine that I down own a pair anymore? I had the #16 for a while, then sold them off when I realized that I really wasn't using them at all, and put the money toward a potential purchase that never fell throuhg at the last minute. I did like them and think they're well worth the $200, but not $350-$450 price tag they seem to be fetching on occasions.

The same thing the Red Sox has been doing for the past few years (except for 2004) - do really well early to keep the hope afloat in order to crush it down as the season winds down.

HAHA, good one. Yep - akwok has a silver version, IIRC.

Thanks for the link. It was a fun read.

I'm actually growing my hair out again after keeping it shaved/closely cropped for the past couple of years, so that I don't look like some weird Asian monk at my best friend's wedding in July. After the wedding, I may start shaving/closely cropping it again.

Jahn, I think the second shot is taken from the opposite side. Kevin - How big is that thing?

Mmmmm, HDTV goodness.

Except then I'm out of money and have no cans to show for it! I'm still hoping for the price of used RS-1's to drop to a more reasonable level soon.

Yeah, but you don't like Grados, remember?

Haha. Maybe soon enough. I really don't need another pair of full-sized cans.

Great - I'm trying to save some money and you're not helping. LOL.

Oh yeah, I forgot that there are two RK50's in there. Man, cost of $1000 just on pots.

Um, that's not a typo on the price, right?

After reading this, I'm definitely going to try them myself before even considering buying them (not that I have the dough). *Suspiciously looks over to the used RS-1 market.*

I guess compared to him, you'd be short. You still have few inches on me, though, if I recall.

The pricing is at $995, if I'm not mistaken. Those pads are $50 themselves.

You know my answer to this one.
