yup yup. their philosophy/way of living is fascinating.

Some crazy-ass but totally sane half holy man broken teacher turned me onto him. Its pretty much my favorite thing ever. Definitely "good stuff".

Just finished Anthony De Mello's Awareness two days ago, started reading it again yesterday.

840A is 120 watts into 8ohms, 200 into 4ohms, and has XLR inputs.

nope, the pair was fine. I stand by my impressions posted in the "there's something disturbing about ultrasone" thread. the phone has strengths (bass, soundstage, comfort) and weaknesses (icy midrange, wacky treble, colored tonality).

Yup, this is definitely the problem. When I am more careful, none of this tangle exists. I was just listening to my Lambdas and thought it was funny that the cable was weighed down by the weight of other XLR terminated cables on top of it, so I snapped a photo.

The problem with 10ft cables:

woah, very cool! looking forward to your impressions.

Very cool, and reasonably priced when in print. This is definitely a company I will follow for a long time to come. I was pretty excited to get Altar on black vinyl. still haven't listened to it though. since I prewash all my vinyl before the first listen, its hard to get motivated to put on a new record when I could just spin Monk's Music for the sixth time.

the southern lord web site just has tons of vinyl I just want to throw my paycheck at. $17.77 for Pink on pink vinyl is too much for my little heart to take. I might buy the red vinyl just for the hell of it.

currently awaiting arrive of the black triangle version of "Invisible Touch". so yes I now own three versions of this album.

can't click on the link there.

this is what i want to do, but I want a KGSS instead of the SR-007tii. I'm awaiting justin's impressions of the 007mk2.

While we wait for Volty to post pics, anyone have any comments on this: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f10/fs-stax-system-1300-shipped-us-278915/ The Stax wiki tells me the SRM-007t is OOP, but it has normal and pro bias outs which is cool. Not sure if this is a good price on the amp + Lambda Pros or not.

sweet, grats on the get! show us some pics please.

if you're ready then, sure.

don't beat yourself up. you'll quit when you're ready.

my name is postwhore, and I approve this message.

Forgot the obvious addition of a Rockhopper Audio Balanced Beta22 in early '08.

I saw a thread similar to this over at Steve Hoffman forums, thought it might be fun revisit the changes our rigs went through this past calendar year, and talk about our goals for 2008. Around January of '07, I was running a Singlepower PPX3 Slam. I thought tubes were the answer to all my problems. My source was a Sony Modwright 999es, and I thought SACD was the king of all music mediums. My preferred can was the HD650. In spring I discovered two things that changed my rig forever: vinyl and the RS-1. I was not really impressed with the SR60, SR225, or SR325i, all of which I had owned, but I sensed something cool was there, so I picked up a used RS-1. I've tried lots of cans since then, but none have been able to touch the overall listening satisfaction I get from my RS-1. The HP2, while possibly technically a better can, failed in the areas of comfort and price to performance ratio. After I replaced the abysmally dull Stanton Groovemaster cartridge, vinyl rather quickly became my new favorite medium, due to its inherent naturalness, liquidity, and bass fullness. Amplification wise there was a Melos somewhere in there, which quite quickly made its way to a ship in the Pacific. A Dynahi arrived and stoled mah heart with its SS goodness. Bye bye pain in the ass tubes (yes yes I know, says the vinyl guy). There were a couple of AT cans and a love-hate relationship with an Ultrasone. Last but certainly not least in the can realm was my first taste of electrostats in the form of an SR-Lambda. Mmmmmm... Beyond cans the joy of speakers entered my life with the 840A and 22Ls. When I bought the 840C, the Modwright flew the coop and took with it my hi-rez dreams. Finally source wise I entered into mortal kombat with a Grado Sonata and PH-1. Finally I think I got that one settled down. As far as the future goes, I'm pretty much still dizzy from all the gear I experienced this past year. Possible ideas are a new turntable (maybe a sota or one of those fancy pro-jects with the carbon fiber tonearm) or an SR-007 rig.

grats on the baby stax! no audio goodies for me this Christmas, I pretty much make it clear to my loved ones that I do all my audio/music/fountain pen shopping on my own. Else I'll end up with Bose and Montblancs. I did get a Virtuoso coffee grinder though. Unfortunately the only beans I had on hand yesterday were flavored, and I am not doing flavored beans in this thing. Need to run by the coffeeshop today and get some fresh roast Mexican Organic.

who sold to me who sold to cosmo...

yay happy birthday!

looks like nate is going to have to fall silent and stop answering tyrion's emails for a few months. actually, I'm sensing a business opportunity for someone who wants to strictly do after-market upgrades to SP amps.
