Uh the reference to beyond my capabilities was aimed at Fitz' Senn. cables, I forgot to paste in his quote. Who knows maybe one day I'll actually learn to solder, but I still think none of you are in any danger of being surpassed.

Yeah right! I still get my soldering iron and curling iron mixed up, my hair is testament to that. I don't think you're in any danger of me trying to copy that! They are sweet, and totally beyond my capabilities. Oh heck yeah! I'm glad we decided no techflex on that, that color looks really nice! Those are new Neutrik connectors? They look very nice!

They shipped really fast. The plugs are nice quality, so hopefully the jacks will be too.

Thanks, and the banana plugs threaded beautifully. Marc's getting pretty close to finishing up the tweaks on my Beta22 and Opus, so I'll be able to try these out on my new speakers soon.

The Markertek package arrived today, and I waisted no time. My first cable build...

Very nice Core Designs goodies Voltron! He does nice work!

Sadly the plinth is packed full of mechanical parts and PCB boards. The design just doesn't lend itself easily to a completely new plinth. I am however going to overlay the existing plinth with some nice exotic wood. I just have been too busy with work lately, but I'll post pics as soon as I get to it. I have an idea for an Art Deco inspired plinth that would be a great choice for the Thorens IMO. If and when I do this I'll of coarse post lots of pics.

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!

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.

That's even funnier because Frozen North is the name of a great electronics supply house in my former hometown of Anchorage, Alaska.

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!

Please make note of the new stalker laws in your area.

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.

Black Clover cables from Fitz!

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?

A Mullet?

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.

Is that you in the horizontal, multicolored, striped sweater?

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

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.

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.

Ah, good to hear. I may use my tap and die set to clean them up first.

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!
