IMA DL IT COS I DONT HAVE TO MESS WITOUT NO GAS MONEY AND MY CAR .WAT 4 IPOD ON MY DILLY NO CD IN SORE

i'm going to eat thanksgiving three times today probably. definitely twice.

whatever resistor you need to add in to have the loading at 100ohms. there is a calculator at the Hagtech website that figures it out for you. I'm not real strong with DIY stuff so I can't tell you what it is off the top of my head.

I enjoyed it at 100ohms, but currently run it at 10ohms, both sound great. different phono stages though, the 100ohms was the bugle, the 10ohms Quad 99 Pre. 470ohms (bugle) was to bright for me. YMMV.

whoops, price just went up $30. i should have pulled the trigger yesterday. edit: here's an internal 2TB seagate for $140: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148413

after we left I knew I should have taken a pic, but I didn't think about it when I was there. Here's a pic of me later that same day:

thats what she said!

There was only three people, two beers, and one system, but I'd say the 5th Annual International Postjack Plus Friend Ohio Mini Meet (codename: Raging With Reks) was a complete success. Jacob's speaker rig is truly awesome. Pretty much does everything I'd want a system to do. Tonally my absolute favorite part was the highs. I love it when the highs are perfect, and they were. The soundstage had really awesome depth, and the imaging was great. We went from small scale classical to large scale classical to a bunch of jazz to Rush to that weird guy from Soft Machine doing weird spoken word free form jazz. Although I spent a bit of time telling Jacob to buy a turntable, after my buddy and I left and the experience began to sink in, I started asking myself why I mess around with vinyl when digital sound like the Capitole is out there. So that should tell you how much I truly enjoyed it, as I've never suffered from "vinyl doubt" until this past weekend. Reks was a gracious host, and tons of cool tunes were played and absorbed. The only regret was we didn't have more time to hang. My friend who I brought along has a running knowledge of general consumer audio, but very little exposure to the audiophile religion, would not stop talking about the rig the whole night and the whole way home. He's starting to ask me about prices, and DACs, and all those wonderful things. We'll see where it takes him. thanks again Jacob!

hey ooooooooooo! we had an awesome time.

the t-shirts i buy from the guy with the shopping cart downtown work just fine for me! don't like grawk tell you you need fancy american apparel shirts. come on, did y'all really think that feedback thread format was for real?

the iphone is more like analog because its more phono. sounds like a record player or tubes or both.

happy birthday!

I find coat hangers braided around old foil candy wrappers with a sweaty old t-shirt for insulation works just fine for me SIR! no need for your fancy metals or clean t-shirts!

happy birthday!

happy birthday billy!

sounds like this "review" was literally a "first look at the Oppo BDP-83 web site".

Symphony this afternoon. Beethoven's 3rd Piano Concerto, with guest pianist Alpin Hong, who was really fun to watch. Then Beethoven's 7th. A wonderful day of music. Also we drove over to New Orleans last night for a friend's engagement party. It was a pretty classy affair, complete with an awesome jazz trio. It was a trip to sit in this old New Orleans uptown home, eat perfect rare tenderloin and au gratin potatoes, and listen to these three guys (one from London, one from New York, and one from Gretna) tell stories and play jazz. An unexpected musical treat!

hot sometimes, but other times not so much?

happy birthday!

Cream - Disraeli Gears (MFSL Mono)

BC-13 vinyl when i was younger, and this album was always winning "greatest album of all time" recognition, i always used to scoff. I loved the Beatles, but didn't understand why this was better then Sgt. Pepper, or White Album, or Abbey Road. I get it know. I could listen to just "She Said, She Said" and "For No One" over and over and over and never get sick of them for the rest of my life. Its eerie how many of this songs could have been written at various points in rock history and fit in perfectly.

In! This was fun last year.

yeah, these headphones are pissing me off for a reason I can't rationally explain.
