My Lucien Piccard arrived today. The Rose Gold one on sale a little while back. It had a supposed retail of $625.00, and was on sale for $69.00.
It's a pretty nice watch! Definitely the nicest $70.00 watch I've ever bought. I've spent $700.00 ish on Seiko Lassales back in the day, and this feels better. Time will tell (pun intended).
I'd have followed him out and taken his keys away, if he'd tried to drive away. Some innocent person could've been badly injured or killed.
I worked at a liquor store in Alaska in my early 20's, and all I can say is that those gentlemen were way more patient than myself. I'd have probably tied his ponytail to the door until the cops arrived.
Nate it appears that your digital luck may well be worse than Reks' amp luck.
Once my DAC is built I'll have an extra CDP (Original 2008 MkII). You'd be more than welcome to keep it on extended loan, It may be a little while before I'm at that place though.
What amps will be present? IMO both the T50 v1 and the LCD-1 can take full advantage of an upscale, powerful amp.
Also, I believe I have both a 4 pin XLR to dual 3 pin XLR adapter and 4 pin XLR to TRS, if needed. Marc can drop them in the same box (Both LCD-1 and T50 v1 are terminated 4 pin XLR).
The amp has both speaker binding posts and a 4 pin XLR jack. We were using my integrated through the preamp outputs to control volume. I left Marc with my passive preamps for that purpose, but I'm not sure how they're working out.
