Well I decided to preorder Big Beat from this batch. I'll judge from that whether it's worth investing in any others. I'm a sucker for the sonics of Blakey's drumming though. The MFSL of Tunisia... WOW.

hell yes! wow, i think i like the pretty princess emoticon way too much.

Welcome to head-case, Nenso!

Yeah, I was thinking Big Beat or maybe Undercurrent. I have the RVG of Undercurrent, I'll have to give it another listen before I decide if its worth springing for the LP.

deep inside he hates himself more then you ever could hate him.

for my 4 year old niece.

Justin, at this point I'll pretty much be basing my purchasing decision on what you say about the SR-007mk2. Not to mention my amp choice will surely be an HA KGSS. So I'm looking forward to your impressions. As for me, I just bought a Wizard Of Oz Wicked Witch of the West Barbie doll.

I know I'll be picking up a select few of these. I'm crazy, but not crazy enough to purchase a full subscription. Six upcoming titles Complete 63 Title Release Schedule Anyone have any suggestions on which titles are real gooduns? The only one I'm 100% that I'll be purchasing is Johnny Griffin - The Congregation. moderator suggestion: make you links work!

no NSFW amp internal pictures though.

I want an orpheus clone.

I suppose there is some validity to this. Its like the story of the scorpion and the frog. The scorpion needs to get across the river, and so he asks the frog for help. And the frog is like "Nah man, you are a scorpion, you'll just sting me!" But the scorpion pleads, and swears he won't sting the frog. So the frog caves and gives the scorpion a lift across the river. Once they get across, the scorpion stings the frog. As the poison flows through the frog, and he lays there dying, he says, "But you swore, you said you wouldn't sting me!" And the scorpion says, "What'd you expect? I'm a scorpion." Meaning its a bit ridiculous to get too worked up about the government wasting time and money. Its just what they do.

This Christmas bill comes dangerously close to legislating morality, which is my absolute least favorite thing the government does, and also is outside the scope of government.

you saw the pics, you know what you were getting into. besides, the tubes alone would run you $300.

In general, I also find vinyl playback superior. post count +1

well the original megaforce CD goes for ~$100. the vinyl is much cheaper.

Just ordered the original Megaforce vinyl in NM condition from a reliable seller!

Interesting. This helps to show that as sellers, our policies our based on our past experience. I have yet to be strung along by a buyer, all my transactions have been handled super quickly. Having said that, I just about always completely ignore lowballers, especially if its Kaslov from Upanisland with zero posts and who offers no outside feedback. I did just sell my W5000 to a zero post head-fier, but he had extensive audiogon feedback which he presented to me upfront.

I've never really been able to wear hats. \

I believe the VTGs employ a similar fitting mechanism to the JPN, and the JPN were a bit too snug on PJ's head. Still wearable, but not wholly comfortable. Grados and earspeakers fit me best.

In my case, my head is quite large, so the seal was excellent. Pushing in on the cans did not increase bass quantity.

Thanks for your impressions Nate. While I prefered the W5000 to the W11JPN, in the end neither can was for me. I don't think I'm an AT guy, but I haven't heard the W10VTG or L3000. I did keep the W5000 for a few months though, so I definitely gave them a fair shot. They are good cans, but are bested by both the RS-1 and Lambda. Probably what turned me off the most wasn't the hot upper midrange, but instead the lack of bass. If the W5000 had a rocking midbass slam, they would be a righteous rock can. Instead I kept turning up the volume to get bass quantity, and at these higher volumes is when the upper midrange became offensive. I found the W5000 best qualities were imaging, soundstage, and speed. Its too bad about the anemic low end.

you're a DJ! But seriously. The guy has created and produced a threaded clamp, a strobe light disabler, an external PSU, a tonearm fluid damper, a 78RPM mod, isonoe footers, a line of integrated carts, and most recently a variety of hardwood cabinet bases, all only for the Technics SL1200. He's crazy as hell about this table.
