most of my albums are still in boxes. I really need to order four more of these. They are tough, functional, and cheap. Not the sexiest racks I've ever seen, but they aren't eye sores by any means.

when it comes to power and power conditioners its hard to say. The Brickwall made me a believer that a solid surge protector could reduce noise floor and provide a blacker background. You might try it and feel completely differently. But the Brickwall at least to me and my admittedly unscientific brain makes sense, unlike a lot of PS Audio gobble-dee-gook. I'm just not a big fancy power cable believer, but I've never tried anything but Volex and no name power cords in my rig. I have a box of Volex 17604s out in my garage. Might be time to re-up, I should go check.

I was expecting a warm full sound!! but screw it, I've got diament masters.

I'll look at this as a good thing, since hopefully this means it will be a truly good remaster, and not a hokey hot mess like the Genesis SACDs.

I concur with everything Reks said. Brickwall + Volex. Brickwall wiped away the final piece of my vinyl rig hum.

Steve did an awesome job with the size. I gave him the measurements of the plastic cover and he went from there.

Bill Evans Trio, "The Last Waltz". 8 CD boxed set, $30 at Newbury Comics via amazon marketplace.

My beautiful new OII stand from Steve. Its perfect: The stand uses wenge and asian satinwood. We waited a long time for the asian satinwood to come in, and it definitely was the right decision. Of course these pictures don't do it justice, but in the light it shines a beautiful silver-esque: I asked Steve to make the stand suitable for use with the Stax plastic cover: This is my first fancy schmancy headphone stand, and I'm very pleased with it! I think the OII is a headphone deserving of such a fine stand to rest on. The wood combinations used in this stand just go perfect with the black and silver in my OII. Thanks Steve!

Good suggestion despite the hdmi problem. Regardless, I have the 40gb PS3, which has no SACD capability.

Ah, you're picking at my lack of parallelism. I thought about including "cool" in the cons for that very reason, but there is nothing cool about a failing transport. It is really cool when its working though.

Somebodys having a deepak day. Try searching within this thread for "transport".

Heres a new option I'm rolling around in my head: scd-777es. Pros: -its black! Matches the rest of my gear. This is actually very important to me. Their my toys, I want them to look pretty. -cheaper then the krell or exemplar. Can be had for a grand. -moddable by the likes of RAM. They do the same mods the now defunct but highly praised audiocom/kern did. -one on the gon right now w/ superclock 2 for $1250. The clock mod is considered the most crucial. -uses the same cool transport as the scd-1. Cons: -uses the same transport as the scd-1 -shitty Sony service -no balanced outs (not sure how important this is to me)

to me, Easy Tiger represents the next level in rock song writing.

thanks all. it was a great deal, great seller. perfect opportunity to try out a classic amp.

Wheatfield HA-2.

Ahhhh, I see the wisdom in this now!

also, while justin is perusing the thread, any news on the pretty box KGSS?

Don't wear them with a wet head/post-shower. What earspeaker/amp are you picking up?

I'm no HA expert, but I'm pretty sure the KGSS is the only regular production 'stat amp justin currently does.

So I was thinking that we really need an OII-capable tube amp in the $2000-$2500 range. I am seriously haunted by my OII/BHSE experience at Canjam, but I can't spend $4500 on a headphone amp. So the question is: WHERE KGST???

I've definitely done thanksgiving at waffle house.

Krell Sacd Standard MKIII for sale on agon: http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?dgtlplay&1216257184 $2700 though, significantly more then the multiple MKIIs for sale. Looks like MKIII is an official designation though, as its actually written on the front of the player.

There are a few Mobile/Gulf Coast classics and there are always some up and comers. Anyone who knows anything about stereotypes knows Southerners love food. Dew Drop Inn. Been in Mobile like a thousand years, the best fucking hot dog on planet earth, with lots of saurkraut and a pickle right in the middle. I like to put pepper sauce on mine. One of the best hamburgers ever as well. Its an old fashioned fifties take out style thin slice of beef, toasted bun, thin meat chili. Again I like to do the pepper sauce, no cheese on this one for me. Then real hand flour battered onion rings, no bullshit premade frozen crap. I dip them in ketchup with, you guessed it, pepper sauce mixed in. Definitely a death row/final meal type of thing for me. Hopefully I never end up on death row. They also have tons of other fair and more fancy stuff, but I pretty much always do one dog, one burger, onion rings. Boiling Pot. Fried seafood, also steamed seafood. Gigantic portions, and the place is always a fucking madhouse. A good 10-15 minute wait just standing in line to get to the cashier and place your order, and the line is always all messed up. I worked at a similar place called Neighbor's Seafood and Chicken summers during high school. Neighbors also has fried gizzards and livers over rice or mashed potatoes, smothered in gravy and grilled onions... mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!! we of course have a waffle house on every corner, which crushes IHOP.

mobile, AL - saenger theatre. Tom Waits "Glitter And Doom" tour. Tickets aren't sold out but it looks like floor and lower balcony are already. I got 22nd row and I bought the tickets minutes after they went on sale. Had to use my iPhone, if I would have had a real computer I probably would have been forward a few more rows. But still these are good seats in this venue, especially since we are on the left orchestra on the central aisle. They were just shy of $100 a pop after fees.
