Wow, I'm 47 and still having lots of sex. OK it's not with a partner, but it's still sex.

Try and find an episode of New Yankee Workshop on the internet showing Norm using a lathe. Watch the way he holds the gouge close into his body. You want to have firm control of the tool. Be patient and don't try to shove the tool in too fast. Very gentle light touches until you get the feel of the lathe. You'll be turning beautiful pieces in no time. Oh and have fun!

Oh I get it, that's why those Headphile IC cables with no connectors were so great, and cost more than cables with expensive connectors.

Nice, and I like the multi MOT designation. Will there be spade lugs or banana plugs?

There is really no getting past having a 3/4" roughing gouge. It's a necessity for rounding your stock, and is the most versatile of all turning tools. That said however I'd not want to have to turn a Grado cup with one tool alone. http://www.pennstateind.com/store/lx250.html I'm in complete agreement. A skew, a gouge and a parting tool will get you through many projects.

I believe that was Fitz that registered the domain name.

They look fantastic Voltron! The Walnut is a rich, masculine wood. We want to see pics of them loaded with gear! Edit: Found 'em!

I guess it's official...I'm back into vinyl. This AR won't have any resemblance to it's former self at all once I finish. It's a very simple table that will allow me to get as wild as I like.

Happy Birthday to one of my favorite Head-Casers!

I like it. A little bit like The Cowboy Junkies, but definitely has it's own flavor. Thanks!

Sorry guys I'm at a total loss here. Someone turn me onto some new music, what genre is this? Can you compare it to anything I may know?

I also agree that a headphone purchase should be based off of an audition, and not hearsay, and if you'll re-read my post you'll see that. I do however think I can get a general idea of what a phone may sound like from listening to the comments of the people I've come to trust. At least enough of an idea to decide whether or not to make a point of listening myself. However if you're just looking to argue, and be a smartass when I haven't earned it, that's fine too, but your comments now and in the future will most likely be glanced over faster than those of OverlordXenu or whatever his name is.

Well it appears that I've dumped the pics from my camera before loading them onto my computer. This was not intentional, as I keep pics of every stand I build. But Vicki said she was taking it to the mini meet today, so I imagine she'll get some pics to post, along with all the gear on hand hopefully.

I disagree. I have a good concept of what many of the members here have a preference for, and as such I can gleen some useful information until such time that I can listen for myself. I do not however wish to buy any Ultrasone unheard.

Well this horse is still very much alive. And I for one want to hear both sides, as I've yet to listen to an Ultrasone.

Sounds like things will be "turning around" for you in the near future.

The part of the country he's in will be a determining factor as to the MC as well. You could leave wood to dry for decades here in Texas, and never achieve 10%. In Alaska it would be that dry in months.

Yeah, at that price they'll be fun to tinker with. The 32 ohm are bipolar with holes on both magnets, even though the pic shows otherwise. The pics are of the 4 and 8 ohm drivers he's also selling, but not suitable for headphones IMO. And that price is for 4 drivers.

No that's really not the case, or what people are trying to get across. Your 600/650 will sound fine on the mini

They're NOS Orthodynamic or bipole planar tweeters. erikj found them and posted about them in the Orthodynamic Roundup thread on HF. They are believed to be the same or very similar drivers that are in the Audio Technica ATH-2 Orthodynamic headphones. They seem to be well thought of so far. http://cgi.ebay.com/SFI-BIPOLE-RIBBON-TWEETER-4PC-SETS-EMIT-R-TYPE-32ohm_W0QQitemZ280139614222QQihZ018QQcategoryZ137944QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262

I only pulled the trigger on them tonight on ebay. I'll let you know once they arrive, but I fully expect them to sound like poo. Of coarse I have no real basis for this opinion, except who's ever heard of Pioneer SE-7's?

Hey how often do you get to make a Purple and Pink headphone stand? I had to jump at the chance. Of coarse Fitz requested those colors a while back, but I'm trying to butch him up. Actually I really enjoyed building this stand, it's a little less structured than my usual fair, and was a bit freeing. Besides it had been bugging me that Vicki wasn't rewarded for her efforts. Glad you like it Vicki, I hope it looks good with your cans!

Some SFI Orthodynamic drivers, and a pair of vintage Pioneer SE-7 headphones. The Pioneers will be possible donor frames for the new drivers. I just liked the look of the all aluminum vintage goodness. Now if I can talk fatman711 into making me a new headband for these I'm set.

Hey cool, you got it?

I used to like you.
