Post the last thing you bought!
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.

Team from Hawaii wins Little League World Series
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.

Porn and the Art of Vacuum Tube Fabrication
Just what I was thinking the whole time. Wow, great video. That piano music was nice as well.

General speaker-buying tips?
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.

Lowering the gain on my Bugle
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?

UE10 vs UE11 ?
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.

Must have insanely expensive Jazz LP thread
$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.

Modwright 9100ES
good to hear, my Modwright 999es was always a tad edgy.

Cinemag SUTs
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.

Cinemag SUTs
It definitely loves S curved tonearms and detachable headshells.

Gilmore Reference Balanced?
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.

Cinemag SUTs
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.

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

NKOTB - TTVJ/Millett 307A Headphone Amp
i think you should combine dusty and token's columns. TONEPUB is one of the harshest MOT-like posters I've seen on an audio forum. Him and his buddy anachronist have no issues with delving into any given thread and stirring shit up big time. I just think since he is selling a product (albeit a free magazine) he should be a bit more political in choosing the dialogues he participates in. anyway rega for lif. Hey is it really pronounced "REE-ga"? I always thought it was "RAY-ga", like "Sega".
