[So, my amp sort of had a makeover. :D]

It proves two things. Peter McAllister SOMETIMES embellishes things and you can't BS this crowd when KG is in the vicinity.

[z-sleeve question]

I didn't explain very well before, how about

-http://www.claritycable.com/Z-Sleeves.html equals-

That is what I meant. If that dosen't work, then I give up.

[z-sleeve question]

When I read this article a while ago I did some research based upon various clues given in the review. I forgot what most of them were but I eventually determined that the "tube" is probably a ferrite bead. I made some enquiries all over the net and the only company that had anything comparable was:

http://www.ferrishield.com/

They will do custom sizes similar to the ones in the Six Moons article but very expensive. They quoted me about $500 if I recall. What is interesting is that the Z sleeves are used with ICs and speaker cables in the Six Moons article, yet most other uses for audio equipment that I have seen only specify ferrites use with power cords.

[Oh My! Poor Stereophile. The've got a new member for their forum.]

I thought after his momentary ban, HeadFi signed him to an exclusive.

[My New Headphone Stand]

I use that pipe when install lights...well i use 1inch and a quarter for the clamps..

i used to have "U" shape's of those all over my room when i needed to move in lights and program them in the room before (i dont miss fog one bit).

if You mount that on the ceiling you could actually hang off it...fucker is strong and heavy..but more strong.

actually looks like that's what it was for before becoming a headphone stand, pulling yourself up for a work out.

..... actually in an earlier post he said it was installed in his bedroom over the bed for some reason. "Me Tarzan, you Jane".

[My New Headphone Stand]

Kind of resembles the fire sprinkler pipe in my office.

[So close to perfection, then...]

Good point, this had crossed my mind, but I was kind of brushing it off as "Eh, won't be that bad." You're right though... shouldn't take a chance.

Please don't do this. As much as agree with your desire form an escape to sonic bliss, no one who comes to visit you will understand what you are doing. Try to envision this scenario, your daughter has a friend over for a play date. That friend goes home and that night tells her mommy and daddy over dinner " so and so's Daddy has a small room in the corner where he sits there by himself for hours. There is nothing in the room but a small chair and the room has one window." I am sure the investigating officers will be audiophiles and love to listen to your Senns and the rest of your system but in case they aren't you will have some 'splainin to do.

[Did I wreck my hearing in just one week?]

DC. sorry for the momentary thread jack, is your MD aware that you are taking Allegra, Astelin and Sudafed at the same time? And they are OK with that?

4, here, as well: allegra, nasonex, astelin, sudafed.

I turn it down. Louder doesn't help -- it seems to be registering on a completely different plane. I try to just mentally concentrate on listening to the music, lubricate and clear the nasal passages often (I'm really prone to sinus infections).

Funny story -- we have two bathrooms, one male, the other is supposed to be for handicapped, but it's unisex. When I go to...uh..."keep my nose clean", I usually use that one. Of the two times that I used the men's bathroom, both times my boss has walked in on me. He didn't say anything either time, and the first time he just shook his head.

[Thinking about getting an L3000...]

I guess you are really whacky if you use your $18,000 pen to take notes on $2,000 stationery while listening to an MFSL cd played through a Reimyo on an Orpheus.

[cheapest glue/adhesive thats bonds to plastic?]

I use hot glue from a hobby store. It is super strong, dries fast and unlike superglue allows you a do over if you mess up. Just hit it with a soldering iron and its liquid again. I use it to hold speaker posts in place when bolting wont fit. I also use it with Eichman ICs and thin strands of silver wire. The hotglue on the tail end of the plug serves as stress relief and protects the solder joint when you switch back the ICs between equipment.

[Impromptu apartment mini-meet]

Undoing hotglue is not that difficult per se, just hit it with a fine tipped soldering iron. For added safety it would use an alligator clip with a piece of aluminum foil to serve as a heat sink to protect the driver. I used this technique to undo a couple of headphone adaptor projects I did.

[Impromptu apartment mini-meet]

i agree, wonder if this means that i should really be burning cd-r's. problem is that they don't last forever

MAM golds are supposed to last 100+ years, so your grandkids can listen to grandpa's funky tunes in 2075. Assuming vintage cdps are still around to play them.

[Is the iMod a ripoff?]

Agreed. You got to hand it to the guy he is a good marketer of his brand. Whether you like his methods or not, he gets himself noticed and indirectly endorsed. Ken even got himself on the Steve Hoffman website as a cable supplier. As far as mixing engineers go, Hoffman has a pretty big repution.

[slow forum]

Technically the human mind cannot grasp time lengths as vast as one thousand years.

Ergo, my claim remains unproven. Solid as a rock.

Kind of like the cryo does or dosen't make a difference argument?

[Fixed my Computer]

Was it the same guy who modded your Denon 3910?

[Best drink for improving your listening experience]

With my "good system" a seven or eight year old Pinot, Adrian Fog, William Selyem or Sea Smoke. With my cheap system Cordon Bleau Cognac. Who needs a Rega Saturn or a EC Hyper Dac when you have your second Cognac, all the music sounds real good.
