I'm sure I'll get some pictures up eventually. I want to buy a sword but I'm not sure if they'll let me take it in the venue. It's a fake sword but I could still whack somebody with it.

hook that shit up and turn the volume knob all the way to the RIGHT, ya heard. seriously don't do that but hook it up, see how it sounds.

Went to store, bought romaine, fixed salad, ate lunch with GF, laid around, went and hung out with my parents, bought new work shoes, bought halloween costume, went home, did accounting homework, ate dinner, watched a couple episodes of House, spun vinyl.

new work shoes (rockports). hercules costume.

Two tickets to Voodoo Fest for Saturday, October 25th to see NIN. This means three out of the four weekends in October I'll be in New Orleans.

You know I was always more a fan of original NES Hockey? Again I could just choose all fat guys and dominate every time. Then Blades of Steel came out, all fancy pants with its fights.

Just what I was thinking the whole time. Wow, great video. That piano music was nice as well.

Even though its a "recommend what I own" recommendation I'll just throw Quad in the brand hat. I currently own the 22Ls, they have prodigious bass, a wonderful midrange, and crisp treble (whose level is easily adjusted with toe-in), but they would certainly benefit from a larger room then I have them in. As far as monitors go, I used to own the 12L actives, and I wish I had not have sold them. Lacking in bass, of course, but otherwise they were like the 22L midrange and treble wise, and nice soundstage in the nearfield. Would probably be nice paired with a sub. Good luck in your search, and have fun researching. Do keep us abreast of your impressions of the various models you listen to.

Hey gang- When I bought my Hagerman Bugle a while back, Jim set the gain high so it would work with the DL-103. While the sound was excellent, I found there was too much hiss present in my setup, and went to a SUT + MM phono combo. Today I was looking at the Bugle and thinking it would be nice to get the gain lowered so that I could run it from my SUT and compare it to my Bottlehead Seduction. Can any friendly DIYer give me a rough idea of what would have to be done to get the gain on this sucker back down to stock levels?

Nice Vicki, those look great! They did a good job getting your avatar on there. I'd like to see them do my avatar on black.

$50 an album really. Outrageous price. Harder to justify for the Acoustech Blue Note releases, since they don't get the full gatefold treatment, complete with the unbelievably vivid glossy photographs. I've bought Tunisia, Big Beat, and Soul Station. They are all amazing. I plan to buy as many as my wallet will allow me.

happy birthday!

I'll have to try and calculate this to see how I'm doing, thanks for the tip.

I can plug electrical cables into mine to! We must have the same model.

wook = you

brick wall.

good to hear, my Modwright 999es was always a tad edgy.

Well I did have to use a Sumiko headshell to get my overhang where I wanted it to be (I used an arc protractor that uses a Baerwald alignment), and this significantly added to the weight, so much so that I had to use the Technics counterweight to get the VTF right.

It definitely loves S curved tonearms and detachable headshells.

Yes, but your testing method assumes that what makes gear "warm up" is actually heat, as opposed to something else, like music loving microscopic bugs who are attracted to pleasing vibrations and slowly build up around your gear as it runs.

Well you know my answer. I'd go for the Cinemags. Supposedly they do have a great synergy with DL-103 (I have no point of comparison, all I've heard is my Cinemags), and if you go DIY they'd be cheap as shit. The DL-103 is THE classic cartridge. With me, you, and Chuck spinning one, we'll have a regular FOTM on our hands.

How are the highs tkam? i'm always terrified when a source is described as having "extended" highs, as the stock 9100ES is.
