Hoping this will be mine by the end of the day
That's the problem. The sub is here, but the damn table is messing things up. Gonna have to have a talk with Santa.

Sennheiser HE90
I listened to jp11801's Cary 300SEI with K1000s and preferred both the Sig 30 and F1 to it, though, in fairness, I don't remember what tubes were being used at the time, and that could make a boatload of diff. I was also a bit disappointed in it with the R10s as I heard it was "the" amp for R10s. Again, could have been the tube thing, though.

Perhaps I'll pick up a double shift. Give some regular wearers a holiday break.- To all new members
You sound like my co-workers...but they ain't showing me any pics.- How slow is SinglePower?
Not if used with skill- Xin portable amps
Good to know who has the asshat duty today. I was afraid it was my day and I missed out.- Team Audio-Technica Unite!
But how many amps do you have headed your way? The Zana Deux, two SinglePowers and...?- Xin portable amps
Other than your strange need to slap back at assumptions I don't hold (unwashed masses?), we see things pretty much the same. Just because I've acquired some gear, doesn't mean I judge anyone for what they own, and since your gear is different than my own, I can probably learn a thing or two from you. As far as anyone else goes, rock on with your stock earbuds if that's what pleases. Ask me about something, though, and I'll tell you straight up what I think. All of us are here for the music (I hope), but the hobby aspect, learning about this and that, is a different thing imo. I'm trying to get into DIY right now, mostly so I can understand what others are talking about, and why some things work well together and why some don't, but I'm starting with -0 knowledge. I've got some books, a boyfriend, and a retired electrical engineer in my neighborhood trying to help me (I need two mentors so I don't burn them out). So far, I'm learning to solder (made a little robot with blinking eyes), and picking up some basics. I've got some kits made for ages 10-14 to teach me to read schematics and not to fry things. The other night, I was messing around with things, and my friend's eight-year-old son had to show me how to do it right....twice! Talk about a learning curve... So zero hard feeling, Mr. Lupus...though your name is horrible... and asshats get passed around a lot in these parts. Hoping today it's not my turn. Let us know when you get that Reference and what you think.- November 17, 2007 East Bay SOTA Meet Impressions
I'm thinking wonderful idea! I'm in!- My Rihanna - Umbrella Remixes CD is here!
Your SR-Omega privileges are revoked.- My Rihanna - Umbrella Remixes CD is here!
I read that interview. What's strange is that I seemed to live next door to him in NYC, at least from where he said he lived. Don't remember him, but years could be different, though time frame seems the same.- November 17, 2007 East Bay SOTA Meet Impressions
Any time in February is good for me, and I'm sure John would be glad to let you plan the meet. I think Mike mentioned something about early February as well. Are you sure Neil would want our party in his house?- November 17, 2007 East Bay SOTA Meet Impressions
Neil, are you moving before February? John's going to be hosting another meet that the Florida crew will attend and Aaron (honorary Florida member) as well. Willing to make a pilgrimage to hear the NWO as well as other goodness.- Post the last thing you bought!
The man's got talent.- Head-Fi Update on Facebook
Maybe that was done before, but not mentioned simply as it wouldn't mean anything alone, and get false hopes up if other didn't work out. If they actually got a large table rebuilt successfully, it would be time to say something. btw, I'm talking through my hat (just wanted to use that expression). I barely know how to work my laptop, and know diddly about anything else computer-wise.- Head-Fi Update on Facebook
There's been another update, basically saying that they've done one large table rebuild (I don't know what that means) that took about 15 hours, and they've started on another, which will probably take longer. The first looks successful, but again, no promises.- Post the last thing you bought!
Are you calling Nate a ho?- Seattle Meet (11-17-2007) Impressions
Thanks for the added pics, especially putting some faces to the names. Glad your meet turned out so well.- Hoping this will be mine by the end of the day
Nope. Right now I'm playing with placement. I really need a rack. My previously useful jumbo-sized coffee table is now getting in the way.- WOOOOT! My super find. Can't beat free!!!!
Nice score, Nate. I once furnished a whole apartment from stuff picked up on the street. We used to call it ground scoring and made regular rounds in the wealthy neighborhoods. Never found any audio goodies, though.- Hoping this will be mine by the end of the day

There were also raves for the vmoda vibes. Every one is looking for a giant killer. As long as there are new inexpensive iems coming out, there's going to be 1) a rush to be the first to get them and tell everyone else 2) more people who want to try them out and post good things to feel good about buying them 3) bandwagon effect 3) reality setting in that Etys are the only way to go- To all new members
Ninety-five new members in Nov. (so far).- November 17, 2007 East Bay SOTA Meet Impressions
If you build it, we will come. I think it's granodemostasa's (did I get that right?...long names confuse) - Xin portable amps
