anything is possible... need we discuss that is it advisable to read the label and follow the washing instructions?

the cut seems unchanged from last year and the normal minimal shrinkage after a wash should be about the same too.

i think the large fits spot on and quite similar to my ck tees. i could also easily get way with wearing an xl, but there is just this loose extra fabric around my gut. now the large isn't tight, but just more fitted.

Awesome design as usual, Ed! i really don't think i could have written it up any better than you.

i bought a trager courier laptop bag about six years ago and use it nearly everyday. it still looks brand new as it is built like a tank. New Page 2 they have dozens of cool bags, and i believe still make them in the USA. Catalog home

that looks really fuck'n good!!

went here last night for a somewhat late dinner in little tokyo, simply amazing. i haven't had noodles in months and these were definitely worth the cheat meal.

beautiful cat -- intense eyes x2! pugs are little people with incredible personalities. those aren't those two flesh eating pugs i still wonder if my pugs really loves me or just is waiting for me to keel over and die.

yeah, yeah, i know, i know... though, i do my very best to try and get the best bang for my buck. and i seriously consider resale value too. if i believe i can get back most of what i shelled out for an audio toy, well, that builds value and minimizes risk.

yes, that's why i typically buy on sale, demos, used, negotiate, and patiently look for great deals.

i believe Mikhail didn't always really know what the fuck he was doing, and those custom builds, more often then he liked, required endless rebuilds to get it close as he could to right. plus, there is this false perception that a higher price point equates to something necessarily having to be better, which isn't always the case, but from a marketing perspective it is very effective especially to those with money to burn. i did have issue(s) from the get-go with Mikhail's pricing scheme and many other things long before he went down for the count, but I didn't mention any of that stuff here. based on your conservative estimate, i would have issues with a 70% mark-up. that isn't to say it isn't worth it, though, it would have to be heads and tails above the competition to justify it's price and for me to perceive value in it. unfortunately, i believe they'll sell less pinnacles than 307a. i guess, if it were me, i'd rather price it a bit lower and hope to sell more than just a few.

i can't imagine the total part price being more than 45% of the pinnacle's (or even the 307a) retail price. considering, the maker and dealer's cut than their profit margin isn't wholly unreasonable, i suppose... though, i still get hung up knowing the price is a good bit more than it would have been, but for the fact, it can't be bought direct.

you must be fucking kidding, nate.

at $10K, they shouldn't have an issue doing that as their profit margin has to be through the fucking roof.

looking at it a bit closer, i think you're spot on Al. someone should tell todd asap.

see for yourself (the heart and soul of the Pinnacle), scroll down, last photo. APEX Pinnacle [Pinnacle] - $10,000.00 : TTVJ, Home of High End Audio even the power supply guts seem to match the chassis.

it looks like a hybrid of sorts -- rs audio (knobs and switches), ec (black and industrial), and ha (gs-1 chassis). and why so many different colored lights, almost like christmas lights. the overall look isn't so bad, and much better than the 307A, which seemed straight up 70s styling. i wonder who is going to shell out $10K for it... the guts from todd's site:

thanks, Greg. Jacob, is that a terrier?
