X2, and thanks for the heads up!

Big effing score Colin congrats! Can we be friends?

Vicki, we have a thoracic surgeon friend who says after surgery they always have left over parts. No big thing, use them on the next project.

So what were your impressions of the new Vany's? My buddy has the Vandersteen 2 or 3's and they pretty nice. What say you??

Hmmmm, the last time I said "take a peek at my headphones" I got sued for sexual harassment. Just returned from a Finance Council meeting and I would like the West Coast Legal Team to advise me on the guidelines for "justifiable homicide" and if unsuccessful, can they get me paroled in time for RMAF 2011?

...... and lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

Melody Gardot- Worrisome Heart. Nice Vickie and Mr. Baguette!

<in> and at no extra cost, I will include one of whatever I catch in my back yard to serve as the official HC Holiday pet. Just like the malls do.

Will you ship to Nigeria?

I did smart ass:p but I needed the brand name because I kept getting the low, 2x power on the reading glasses type magnifiers and I had no idea those things were even called "optivisors". Thanks Pars, I tried amazon since that appears to be where Miguel found his but again, I kept getting the cheap plastic lense 1.5-2X powered ones and I need much stronger ones. Now that I have a model name for the Donegans I have a better shot at it.

Miguel, I have been looking for these, where did you order them please?

I am in a two day time warp so I am actually on time. Happy Birthday Marc!

May I suggest you try fifteen minutes of stretching after your workout to get the lactic acid out of your muscles, this should help reduce the post workout soreness. You might even try a massage after but that could become expensive I guess except for Dinny if his gym is on west 42nd street. I hear there are still lot's of massage parlors there.

Good luck Bryan. Shelly, sorry for your loss.

Happy Birthday!!

I would like to demo the Sonys sometime because I have found the Magico M5s to be very very good.

Happy Birthday Carl and Peter!

Went shopping for cocktail ingredients but forgot my list so I bought some Ciroc vodka for martinis. I am skeptical about the Ciroc but some people around here have been raving about this vodka. I also picked up some Languanitas Pilsner, since I seem to be a pilsner kind of beer guy and I like all the Czech beers I had in Czechoslovakia seemed like a safe bet. Some Agashi Curieaux, Limited Triple, Limited Dubel and a jar of 'tini onions. Keurig Platinum single cup coffee brewer; I bought it for the bitchin' blue leds. If Odyssey manufactured a coffee brewer, this would be it.

Actually, I purchase around 12 pairs of iBuds each year and give them out to my employees for Christmas. My employees are a young hip crowd and I was informed a few years ago that fruitcakes and cheese balls are no longer in fashion as Christmas bonus gifts. Do not waste your time and thread space here trying to evangelize your friends to what you think is "good" audio since you yourself may not have that answer. Leave them alone you are only trying to reinforcing your ego by doing otherwise. Lurk around here some more, learn, experiment and be happy in your own evolution which ever way that takes you. Good luck on your journey.

Nice Mike, and John you make me jealous. Have you listened to any gear yet besides the OMA and Denon? I understand the Merlin manufacturing rep is looking for you since he heard that you like the OMA speaker 'mo betta.

I wish Mike R Us lived down the street from me along with BBQ Mikes.

Happy, Happy Birthday to Vickie and Penger. Happy Birthday!

Sheesh, where is Charles Manson when you need him?

X2 and good news Vickie, your pm was accurate.
