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!

never knew you could measure life like that... guess they do things differently in Texas

now me and you are even on stupid spelling mistakes

Mine was a Freudian slip, because I wish my waist was getting shorter. My belt makes me see the reality of the situation though.

That was fast!

Why waist time, life is short.

Woah, congrats Steve! I really need to land a pair of those at some point.

At anytime you want to audition them in your home just let me know.

Dr. Wood really does some nice work.

Thank you kind sir, it's a labor of love.

Yay!

so, I believe he is in for a world of hurt.

Uh...that came out wrong, I mean, because they can afford to sue him back, and because they probably will stop using his cables.

I like the inuindo even better!

Thanks Mike, that was the runner-up for the Xmas card.

I have to see the winning pic if that's just the runner up! She is absolutely adorable!

That amp is looking pretty damn sweet too!

I should offer to sell my parka. It's rated to -60, but I'm pretty sure it'd be cosy a lot colder than that...

I don't miss mine at all. I do miss the summers in Alaska however.

I am thoroughly impressed with the Buffalo DAC. I've heard and owned some very nice DACs, but the Buffalo is most compatible with my system and my preferences.

I'm very happy that I'm going to have one with every conceivable input and output I could want or need for the foreseeable future. I think that the ability to control the volume from the DAC chip (with the Femto) will be a very usable feature.

Yeah but what about us average sized skinny dudes? Who's our hero?
