  1. [me=deepak]wishes he had monies to have one of the MoTs build him a Pearl phono [/me]
  2. I've had a couple people not leave feedback which sucks when you're starting out.
  3. That's good. I've been thrilled with all my Audiogon purchases, save for one or two the sellers have all been very approachable and personable.
  4. What have been your experiences selling on Audiogon? Appreciate any feedback, thanks.
  5. I would love to hear the Serac...but need some speakers first! (which are at the very top of my to get done list)
  6. No motor noise or inner groove distortion (another problem with the early MMF-5s). Yeah the P3 is just something that I think about in passing now and then. If I do upgrade it will probably be to something significantly better. Heck I still need a cleaning machine, but researching cleaning machines is much less glamorous.
  7. Yup I'm the same way. I'll replace my Toyota when it finally decides to die. And I'll replace it with another one of the ultra-reliable types
  8. Post reported! The gorts are going to get you now!! I've been thinking about a Rega P3, not sure if that will be an upgrade over my MMF-5 or not. Conflicting reports at SH, but their opinions are pretty polarizing...
  9. Grant Inc. says it's a good arm
  10. Post-apocalyptic Pico
  11. I don't think many people have heard the W11r. I think ayt999 owns or owned one.
  12. Earth - Hibernaculum is a great album that is worth checking out while you're adding stuff to your cart Lighter guitar drone.
  13. \m/ hell yeah! You have to grab Black One on vinyl, it rocks! If only you got into Sunn earlier you would have sunk so much money into them White box set originally sells for $80 (IIRC 4 piece vinyl, bunch of other stuff), now sells for twice as much.
  14. Like spritzer I prefer the normal SR-Lambda. I don't think most people have caught on but, they sell for significantly less than the Pros on ebay. edit: it's only fair to add I've only heard the Pro in meet conditions.
  15. The SRM-007t is about $700-900 used. The Lambdas vary so much price wise that I don't have a clue what you could price them at.
  16. 2007 was pretty wacky I had a Lavry DA10 for my source, which then changed to a North Star M192. This was my second best upgrade this year, I really love it. Also picked up a vinyl setup- Music Hall MMF-5 and NAD PP-2 that I really enjoy. My amp was an M^3 that I sold back to my friend. And then I got a Melos SHA-1 (the HP-2 synergy with Amperex tubes was oh so sweet). Sold that and was borrowing my friend's M^3. I hope to have a Beta22 sometime. Also sold my Pass Labs Aleph 30 amp, which I got in 2006. Good amp for the K1000, but it had its shortcomings. Did very little cable experimenting, hoping to try some better DIY silver cables in 2008. Headphones that came and went: AKG K340 (x2), Grado HP-2, Sony CD3000, Sennheiser HD650 (x2), AKG K701, Alessandro MS-1, Grado SR-225 and Grado HF-1 and a backup pair of K1000. Of the lot that were bought and sold only the CD3000 were truly repulsive. The bass heavy K430 and HF-1 were amongst the better ones. And obviously my backup K1000. Newly headphones for 2007 (that I still have): Audio Technica L3000, Grado HP-2 (#2), Senn HD580 and Grado SR-325. The L3000 are still my favorite headphones. The HD580 is an excellent value and so far my limited listening time with the SR-325/flats has not disappointed (though they're still a tad bit sizzly, could use some HF smoothing).The HP-2 are great but they might be sold since the L3000/K1000 are wonderful and complement each other perfectly, plus I have a really busy year work-wise. Conclusion: I found a second headphone that I really love, the Audio Technica L3000. Heard the K1000 in a much better system than mine and I can see how some consider it the best headphone made. Never thought that upgrading my source could have such a big impact on my system. Still playing the amp game. Now on to the real eye opener of 2007- hearing a rediculously well planned and thought out speaker system. It's not my system so I won't go on about it too much, but I know what the future holds for me now
  17. Hehe no I was just messing. The cable is the stock cable with 1/4->1/8 adapter.
  18. But the Gilmore doesn't have XLR outs... ruh oh
  19. Apartments are an excuse not to have speakers, no excuse for not having a vinyl setup
  20. Is that image from Dexter?
  21. Damn dude big money all the way eh
  22. Yeah I don't think I'll attempt that Probably overkill for undergrad use (even the basic Littmann stethoscopes are great, and the worse the stethoscope the more effort you have to put in training your ear to the different lung/heart sounds), but useful for post-grad cards.
  23. I didn't know the RS-1 drivers were dampened, or how to do it. I'll have to look for some high res pics. I'm just getting a feel for the stock SR-325 for the time being. With bowls = But with flats these are actually damn good. So true But it's awesome how sensitive it is...
  24. Yeah that is strange...
