Blacx + 1TB WD + eSata expansion card

happy birthday!

They are both Prague Chamber Orchestra, which are the most popular ones based on my reading. Same recordings.

Is it worth picking up all of them in this box? Amazon.com: Mozart The Symphonies: Sir Charles Mackerras, Mozart: Music The price is certainly right. Apparently its a cheaper version of a more expensive box. Not sure what the packaging is like.

NINE INCH NAILS: STROBE LIGHT - NEW ALBUM :rofl:

I'm pretty sure the SLI 80 is the one Moon Audio had at Canjam. IMO it was a bit too lush for my taste, but take into account I was listening a D5000 which probably wasn't a good match. Also I think maybe tyrion owned one of these?

i should just get ahead of the game and sell my speakers to by another sub. then i'll have two subs!

picked up some cheap y-splitters from Radio Shack tonight and they work wonderfully. i love my sub so much, i don't think i'll ever have a two channel system without a sub.

making predictions based on past experiences with a manufacturer is perfectly valid. if the A10 rocks headcasers will be the first ones to admit it.

i was going to edit this, but for an iPhone typo it seems profound. correction: this makes it easy.

awesome, thinks makes it east. thanks al.

Hey all- So I need some advice. My pre (99) only has one set of preouts which is currently running to my power (909), and I need to get my sub back in the system somehow. At first I was running the power with the Quadlink and the sub with the regular preout, but the Quadlink really does sound as bad as everyone says it does, so thats not an option. The sub can be run with either interconnects or speaker wire, and it has outs for both. So this leaves me with three options: 1. Use a Y-splitter from the pre. For some reason this feels like a bad idea, feels like it would degrade the signal. Anyone ever done this? 2. Run interconnects to the sub and then from the sub back to the power. The sub is about 7 feet away from the power, so that would be about 14 ft of interconnects (blue jeans lc-1). 3. Run speaker wire to the sub and then back to the speakers. This would end up being quite a lot of speaker wire from the power through the sub to the speakers, I haven't added it up but I'm thinking 20 or 25 feet. Currently the sub is behind me, so it is possible I could move it behind the speakers which might cut down on the speaker wire length a bit. Thoughts? Thanks.

Binder is the king of very fine nibs. I believe he does up to XXXXF. man, I'm going to end up buying a VP again. I've bought and sold that pen so many times. 909/99 shipped today, will let everyone know next week how they work out.

done that! if you want to try something fancy for your VP, consider a custom nib unit from Richard Binder. his VP stubs are awesome.

oh yeah, if he likes Senns, the W5K isn't for him. to anemic in the bass.

not all AT woodies are ideal for the big headed. the W11JPN was pretty snug on my big dome, while the W5000 felt quite nice. I never owned the VTG but it looks similar to the JPN. I say 650 + isolation booth.

just got a smoking deal on a Quad 99/909 combo from a semi-local audiogon seller. I am officially "all Quad". 840A up for sale soon if anyone wants a good integrated at a great price.

a member over at RAA emailed Bloodshot, and they confirmed it is indeed the vinyl described in the sidebar. I'll let you know for sure once I have mine in hand.

Heartbreaker | Bloodshot Records Heartbreaker re-release, number limited edition of 500 copies, 2xLP, 180gr, remastered by Bernie Grundmann from the original analog mastered tapes. $12. The same vinyl is going for $24 at Aural Exploits for some reason. I have no idea if it sounds any good, I just ordered mine.

is your smiley an inferred winky smiley? i'm a huge RA fan, to the point where I might consider him the greatest living songwriter, even if the show the other week was a disappointment. I would love to see the Cards tour without RA in smaller venues, it would be a trip to see a full Neal Casal show. Emerson Lake & Palmer - s/t Japanese K2

yeah, its pretty much totally awesome. me: Mastodon - Crack the Skye

Or maybe I could buy my own ram. Apparently its pretty easy to get installed.
