What are you listening to Part Two
Sasha & Shawna Siren. This is about as far away from my normal listening as it gets. But I traded Steve (zippy2001) a wooden iPod dock for some CDs quite a while back. Well Steve sent everything I asked for and a lot more. This is one of those extras. I'm thoroughly enjoying the album, and it's fantastic on the K1000. Thanks again Steve!

What did you do today?
No, but I was 20 floors up, and there was bound to be some off target precipitation due to wind.

Pass Pearl PCBs and related parts
Cool, thanks.

What did you do today?
I peed off the top of a really tall roof. Yep, still a little boy at heart.

DigiPete I'd love to see your Pearl build, as well as the rest of your vinyl setup. Congrats on the new cartridge!

OK old friends are poppin' up everywhere now. Welcome Dash!

A horrible quest begins
Hmmm, well if you're going that route I have long list of things I'd like from there...let's talk. However I'd just walk out with them...have you seen how fat he's gotten? He'd never catch you.

Happy Birthday HighLife!
I was saving this one for edwood's birthday, but I couldn't wait.

OK I know I'm going to incur the wrath of the SciFi sect, but what the hell is a Dalek anyway? Is it from a movie?

DIY TT newb ?
Another way to go that I've also wanted to build is a direct drive turntable. A custom plinth could be built for a Technics SP10, SP15, SP25, or one of the Denon drop ins. That would just require a tonearm/cartridge and you're in business. Don't forget that a build like mine also requires a motor/housing & speed controller. All told with phono stage and cartridge included, I've got about $2000.00 invested in parts and materials. I think a good direct drive table as mentioned above can be built for about $900.00 in parts and materials, depending on the table chosen. I'd also be very happy to help you along the way with any information or ideas I can give you.

The felt (and other backwave absorption materials) thread
I've been curious about the ShamWow, or any man made shammy material. I found that thick, dense felt worked quite well for the YH-100, but not sure yet what will work well on the T50RP driver.

Monsoon Computer Speakers
If memory serves I paid $200.00 new. It could have been $150.00 though. I would think half of that would be a pretty good deal. I remember hearing the 500s at CompUSA somewhere around 2000-2001, and they weren't anywhere near as nice. I'd hold out for the 702.

The felt (and other backwave absorption materials) thread
I weave the underarm hair of polynesian fisherman. They must be between 24 and 37 years of age for the best effect. And I find that if they've used roll on deoderant as opposed to gel the highs are better.

slow forum
OK that's it...now you're embarrassing even the other Canadians!

Monsoon Computer Speakers
Actually Wualta that is the set I had. The Black plastic and the screens are exactly the same. I wasn't aware they made so many models.

I approve of Smeggy's approval of Dusty.

Audio Alchemy DAC specs
Sure, it's not going anywhere.

I2S cables??
I'd talk to Mark Schifter over at AV123.com. AA was his company, and if he can't source any AA I2S cables, he can sure give you some pertinent info on compatible cables. I wouldn't be surprised if his Perpetual Technologies I2S cable uses the same pinout. There is a forum there that should prove quite useful in answering your questions.

Monsoon Computer Speakers
My first computer speakers were the then top of the line Monsoons. Can't remember the model number ATM, but they were a really nice sounding pair of speakers. Ah, it was the Monsoon iM-700

My poor R10s ):
Wow, great job on the cleanup Andy! I think letting Alex take it from there is a good decision. The man does awesome work.
