All this leads me to believe that my idea is a winner. I'm going to market headphones to young people, endorsed by famous opera singers. It'll start of with the Pavarotti circumaural, marketed towards hip young guys. Then we'll bring out the Beverly Sills supraaural in a nice Gold lame, for trendy young gals. Wait a few months and then bammm! The Jim Neighbors custom IEM, in Gomer Pyle cammo!

Excellent news, because we all could see that was a train wreck waiting to happen. I'm all about preventative maintenance. If you can keep it under your hat. I don't want people thinkin' I'm Burger King.

I can build you one out of Ebony. While I would have thought the volume to be nearly the same you make a good point about that being hard to interpret. That was some funny shit! Hmmm, no reply from Buick boy yet?

While your logic seems sound, I've experienced different sound characteristics in bit perfect transports. That's head to head and not from memory. I don't care to hazzard a guess as to what's happening, but it wasn't in my head. So there must be something else at work here.

Happy Birthday Knucks & Renato!

Dr. Wood approves. I don't even want to know what that Walnut butcher block would cost. Look closely and you'll see that the pieces are even bookmatched!

I always get a flat key made and keep it in my wallet.

I think the LCD-2 is a fantastic headphone. It gets my top recommendation as a circumaural headphone. But, like yourself, no other headphone can do what the K1000 can, in terms of a somewhat speakerlike presentation. And I love the option of adding a subwoofer for tactile bass. I would love to hear the LCD-2 on my β22 some day.

Happy Birthday Jacob!

I have owned and tried several different transports. Short story...They all sound a little different. The differences have been fairly minor, but I agree with Nate completely, and wouldn't spend megabucks or minibucks. My current Parasound C/BD-2000 belt drive transport is my favorite transport to date. I like it better than an expensive Levinson unit I listened to. It's heavy as all hell too.

Happy Birthday Steve!

Happy Birthday!

I'm using mine with a 50" Panny G10 and a Denon receiver. Very nice semi budget system IMO.

My Oppo BDP-83 upscales standard DVD better than any other player I've encountered. So much so that I pay little attention to whether or not I can rent a movie in Bluray. Bluray does have noticeably better audio though. $400.00 seems reasonable to me. I sure wouldn't consider letting mine go, even at that price, so it's what the market dictates. Still worth every penny IMO.

That's good customer service. Glad you're getting fixed up Al. A high of 60 here today, and people are dressed up like we're having the East coast storm. Texan's are whimps...yeah, that's right...I said it.

Who the fuck wouldn't?

Have a good trip Marc! Al that sucks big time. Wish I were there to help!

I actually love putting together stuff like that. I missed my calling.

Nice Ari!

Merry Birthday!

Merry Christmas everyone!

On the downhill side of making 12 batches of Texas Trash to give away.

Happy Birthday Ken!

Jeff, your Dad has some beautiful tractors there! That JD restoration is amazing!
