  1. My new Omega Grande 6's arrived today. The Macassar Ebony veneer is very nice! And the magnetic grills are cool, even though I probably won't use them. Also received my new pads for the woody CD3K's, and my banana plugs for my new speaker cable project. It's like Christmas!
  2. A refurbished Thorens TD 124 is really peaking my interest. I could build a crazy cool plinth for one, and they have quite a following.
  3. That's even funnier because Frozen North is the name of a great electronics supply house in my former hometown of Anchorage, Alaska.

    WHERE REKS?

    Wow! You know you can look at all this as your life is anything but boring! I hope they find the asshole that hit you and left the scene. Anyone can have an accident, but leaving the scene with someone injured is unforgivable. I also hope you feel better soon! I think that each member should send you his or her lucky charm. If we get enough of them sent off we just may be able to ward of the bad mojo that is kickin' your ass. Oh and play up the sympathy date for all it's worth!
  5. Please make note of the new stalker laws in your area.
  6. I loved the 580 on the Beta22! I liked it better than I did from your Single Power! I didn't try the 650's from both though. I agree that the 580/600 are to different from the 650 to make a real comparison. I also agree that the system synergy will matter greatly as to which you may prefer. I also prefer the 580 to the 600, only because the 600 paint job makes me want to hurl.

    Don't let 'em get to you Slacker! I personally think it's good to have a teenage girls perspective now and then.

    How many are watching this saga? I think there are some excellent casting choices, great acting, great screenplay and fantastic sets. I love that they chose to go easy on the makeup, and let people sweat as well, it certainly adds to the realism. Any comments?
  9. Well the only thing I can think of is using something like a FoodSaver to seal the individual strands, but that would be tedious to say the least, if even possible.
  10. Is that you in the horizontal, multicolored, striped sweater?
  11. If that's for what I think it is, what about PTFE? http://www.smallparts.com/products/descriptions/sm2t,%20sm4t.cfm?Source=GG&cpgn=Plastic%20Tubing&grp=PTFE%20Heat%20Shrink&strg=Teflon%20Tubing&gclid=CPzv-c-iopICFQIjxwod0AW5Rw
  12. It does doesn't it? deepak it'll be a bitter sweet audition, you'll love it, but you'll want one badly, and they're friggin' expensive! My best friend lived just a few houses down from me (actually the house I lived in I leased from him), and every time I'd spend a day there listening to music, and would have to go home to my own system (very basic at the time), I'd be bummed for a few days.
  13. My best friend in Anchorage owns this table, so I've heard it quite extensively. The setup is as follows... Kuzma Stabi XL Sutherland PHd phono preamp Clearaudio cartridge (can't remember the model, but it's Gold) B&W 801 D speakers BAT Mono blocks BAT Preamp Classe CDP Sorry I don't remember all the model numbers, but it's one of the nicest systems I've heard.
  14. Ah, good to hear. I may use my tap and die set to clean them up first.
  15. Oh hell yeah! That's a sweet table! I'm not that crazy about the Gold color, but I could certainly live with it. You beat me to the pic, but it's a wonderful sounding table!
  16. Oh and Nate, I've been inspired to build a set of these beauties for my Omega Grande 6's that are incomming. The only reason I'm attempting this is because there is no soldering involved. So maybe I can manage it. I've ordered the same cable & heatshrink, but the banana plugs are a little different. I found what I hope will be a bit of a bargain, but we all know how that can turn out.
  17. You can only see half of it there, but it's a stylized shamrock. Seamrog Soundworks translates to Shamrock Soundworks.
  18. You wouldn't believe the lengths this anal retentive Irish maniac went to to get these to look like that either! These are my new cables for my HD 580. I sent the stock 650 cable with no instructions at all, but of coarse hoping for Fitz' usual braided loveliness. Last night he contacted me with pics, and the roadmap of his journey. I won't give any specifics, because this will most likely become his trademark way of doing Senn. cables (these are his first), but I was stunned at the painstaking methods to keep the integrity of the look of the stock Senn. connectors! Even the most afflicted OCDers would be amazed. In fact I think Fitz actually has CDO. That's the same syndrome, but the extra step has been taken to alphabetize the letters. Oh, the ICs are joining my collection too.
  19. The variable supply would be great for the KOSS stats!
  20. Don't be fooled by the JT's price, it's an impressive piece.
