Nice work! Since this project looks to be done for now, how does a Red Light District sound for your next project?

I don't see how that could be a very good amplifier, the wood is stained. Tsk, tsk.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

I gave myself the day off.

Happy Birthday!

Let's see if I can remember everything.

Purchased:

I bought several turntables, and ended up building one and selling the others. I conned Marc into building all the essential paraphernalia needed for a vinyl rig.

I purchased a vintage Sansui tuner that I really like, purchased an Opera Consonance integrated amp and some Omega speakers.

I had a TPA Darwin balanced source selector built.

I bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 580, NAD RP18, Yamaha HP-1, APS recabled Ety ER4P & Klipsch Image X10 headphones/IEMs.

And just recently I bought my first AKG K1000.

Sold:

I sold my long term Paradigm Reference Active 20 monitors, my PS Audio PCA-2 preamp, TPA Zapfiltered Opus DAC.

And quite recently I sold my beloved AKG K340, Chocolate Donut MkII, AKG K240 Sextett, NAD RP 18 & Yamaha HP-1 headphones.

In my dreams! I'm envious. Have a great time! That's February right?

Cuisinart coffee maker with metal decanter. Three Visco Memory Foam pillows.

Aren't those counter intuitive?

I purchased some interconnects a while back, and more recently Nate built me some adapter cables for my incoming AKG K1000.

As to be expected the quality is top rate, while the price is bottom drawer. I'm sure Nate could put many cable companies out of business if he were so inclined.

Very nice Nate! I like the hammered Grey too.

A small desktop lamp and some 6500K CFL bulbs... bias lighting for my new TV.

Pics of the new TV!!!!?

Nice!

Is that Neotech wire?

Yep.

She's alaskan, the cold means nothing to her

Yeah, I very rarely wear any myself.

I didn't actually buy them, but a trade out is close enough.

K1000 bling bling baby!

It's goint to allow me to run the K1000 off of the speaker taps of the Beta22 (or Consonance integrated), and just unplug it to use the front mounted XLR jacks for other headphones. And it looks teh shit!

are those mounting plates as flimsy as people say?

They're plastic, bur far from flimsy IMO. I'm assuming you mean the tweeter plate. The binding post plate is very stout.

Nice cd player I picked up off ebay ....

Earl how many sources do you have? I think it's a Unico Reks. Very nice!

Well I'm not stuck on the multiple driver idea, I just wondered if it would work better.

I may just stick with a tried and true single driver design.

Future project

I'm doing a little preresearch for my upcoming SFI woody. The drivers are small enough that two could be used per side, and I'm wondering how that might work. I'm kind of thinking one above the other. The idea would be to damp one for the best bass responce and damp the other for best mids and highs, thus creating a pseudo two way.

Any one want to chime in with their thoughts?

That is cool! I'm going to need a nice headband for my SFI Ortho woody once it's built. Hope he has something to match the SR 007 pads.

I really like the look of the Core racks. Thing I might copy the idea minus the cored shelves and build my own.

Ditto, they're on my project list that I'll get to one day.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the hell out of them.

Last thing I bought was a set of Fostex T40s and soon I plan on picking up a new chuck for the lathe.

Which chuck?

Thanks! They shipped today, so...!!!

Congratulations! Stock or recabled?

Stock for the moment. I have a feeling that Nate may be recabling them at some point, but he doesn't know that yet.

The Black wooden box is a little shabby too, but I plan to build one from Burled Maple and Wenge soon.

Doug bought my Chocolate Donut MkII Orthodynamic headphones. He paid very quickly and it was a great transaction!

Jim bought my beloved K340. Payment was quick, and he was a pleasure to deal with!
