Wood fans: Cherry vs. Oak
Damn! His prices are great!

Wood fans: Cherry vs. Oak
In this case it's a cosmetic choice, as both are sturdy hardwoods. I would no doubt favor the Cherry for it's rich beauty, but then again I've just never been a big Oak fan.

best headfi thread I have read in a long time!
I just don't find that guy funny, and wouldn't be the least bit surprised to read about him being arrested at a grade school playground. I guess it's just me though.

Who here owned (or still owns) parachute pants?
Actually back in the day when I had an exceptional ass, those showed it off to the nth degree, and girls could tell your religion. Most girls seemed to love them at the time, but as usually happens they seem ridiculous later. Makes me wanna put on some Duran Duran.

I'm not really a big CD3000 fan, but these aren't your average CD3000. These badboys have BASS! They still have the detail of the stock CD3K, but they're not as treble heavy. I like them better than the DT990 600ohm I used to own, and the bass is better too. Alex's V2 cables, yumm. Unfortunately my amp and DAC are being tweaked by luvdunhill, so I haven't had the chance to hear them in my main rig yet, but my preamp balanced outputs are driving them just fine for now.

Well that's the good part, it was on sale for $199.00 from $319.00, and shipping was only $12.00. "To everything turn, turn, turn. There is a season turn, turn, turn." Here's my dream lathe. One day! http://www.lagunatools.com/pinnacle.htm

Fuck in snow
Just when I start to get depressed because I live in Texas you guys make me happy I don't live in the frozen North any more.

It's a benchtop model, but it will do just about everything I'll need. It'll take 24" long stock and up to 9" in diameter. It's not a variable speed, but it should suffice for now.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it. It's been a while since I've turned some wood. I think I even have a customer already.

Reks your luck has got to be the worst I've seen in a while. Stay away from Vegas at all cost, or get a job there as a cooler.

It's just a small one, but long overdue. Let the turning begin! Well once it arrives anyway.

I spent yesterday in Austin with luvdunhill. He took me to a great Half Priced Books and then to Waterloo Records. Woo Hoo, I haven't had that experience since the 80's. Picked up...

Nice! I like the linear trackers too for their ease of use. I recently purchased a Mitsubishi LT-30 (second one I've owned), and it works great. There is a bit of setup and adjustment, but nothing like a standard table. The Mitsu excepts standard mount cartridges as well. I went to Austin today to hang out with luvdunhill, and he took me to a couple of great record shops. I stocked up on cheap vinyl! Congrats on the TT, enjoy it!

Man I'm itchy on these. My ESS AMT 1D speakers I had in the 80's & 90's were fantastic. The Heil transformer is brilliant, but I do require some bass. Just not sure if they'll have much. I'm going to go with the general consensus that these are overpriced though.

Did we talk about a stand Jack? The Asian Satinwood has a Silver tone, and the Wenge is semi-sweet chocolate in darkness, so it really should be a nice combination for your OIIs. The rhinestones, ropelights and dingo balls will just be icing on the cake.
