No you don't.

-
you know your narcotics.
I watch a lot of law and order
-
Thanks!
I also see that Jp is here, what's up?!
I've been craving that awesome beer restaurant that we went to real bad!
Juan these guys are cool the Ray thing is probably more on than off, I like Ray but his amps are another story.. even the good ones are overpriced.
Great to see you here now go get a Beligian Triple

Welcome to head-case, Shaka. Diving right in, huh? Here:
http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?anlgtabl&1200006650
I am going to hold out for the Gabilier table it's 3-5K but worth it, heck since there is no dealer network he'll give you credit if you fly to Colorado to listen to it

ok for starters roasting coffee is basically an advanced form of air popcorn popping
I have roasted coffee in a gas grill, gas stove, popcorn popper and home roasting machine, it's not rocket science get the beans above 400f and listen for the cracks, there are basically two. for more info I would go to sweetmarias.com
-
what's the difference between crack and crank?
crack is a basically cocaine and baking soda and crank is crystal meths street name
not that I would know I watch alot of movies and pbs
-
Nope. There will be another Diva waiting for me another time. Maybe next year. What ever happened to your maybe new tt?
BTW, the Bailey shipped today. I should be feeling some bass early next week!
arrrgghhh I may hold for the next year and get a Galibier turntable and Schroeder arm
-
Dan don't be a tool, you know home roast is great stuff Michael has my roaster and can hit you off with a bit of home roast goodness.... better then crack but maybe not crank
-
I expect a lot of impressions + photos
and we expect a lot of pics she better be a hottie if you are going to miss this
take her to Juptier and drink lots of beer then tell her you want to show her your headphone collection
-
feel the dark side calling you.... you know you want it feel your inner diva
ps you'll need an arm you can start with an rb250 they are cheap and all over agon
-
Weren't you the one who just told me to stop buying audio and buy a new car? I distinctly remember that conversation. Buy a car you said. You need a new car. That was good John
Pick up that turntable you know you want. Evil John is in the house 
fuck the car ride a bike and be a tree hugger and get into LP goodness
it's what the inner disturbing godess in you wants
-
thanks Al I'm going to use my ghetto rack for the meet as well
please remember to bring power strips!!!
36 hours and counting untill Eddie Current balanced goodness is unleashed
oh and Satans Delicate Sinewave
-
ok then get off your arse and get a good vinyl rig there is a nice avid on agon for less than 1500
-
Ken (guzziguy) got a hold of me so he will be coming up from LA and will be at the meet with the exemplar and SP extreme
-
ps vinyl is where it is at my vinyl rig which is good not great, I need a new deck, is still much better. While this is in part due to better mastering even on recordings with good redbook masters the vinyl wins.
Vickie go vinyl
-
Vicki, does yours have balanced outputs or it SE only? That'd be the only reason to think about meddling with it.
Vickie's got one that was the tops a few years back John Tucker has found better caps for his mod and has changed the opamps in it as well to better ones
as it stands the exemplar is better than the ayre cx7, wadia 302, transporter, sony sacd player 1 (whatever that big ass gold colored 50 lb monster is called) and the esoterics 50/60 I have heard on redbook. If I had not gone Cosecant it would have taken dynamight to get it out of my house.
The cosecant and exemplar are probably in the same league but I can not give up the ease of use a mac mini and the cosecant offer not to mention the sound
-
oh no my 359 portable amp comparison is down the drain, oh the humanity.
-
I can make some calls/send emails tomorrow. Did you get guzziguy's info? Does anybody around here know how to contact him?
I did send him my address and directions as he is camping out at my place Friday night so I hope he is still on.
-
Justin sorry to hear that, any hassles we might have pale in comparison to 40k worth of parts waiting on orders. Well at least it will give the others that ordered the predator a chance to reconsider the Pico once the site is up and running. I hope it works out for you.
To those that lost your feedback at least your know entities and that should count for something
-
no I was going to do this Sunday but the site crapped outSo, I gave BigGuy the info through stevehoffman.tv but nobody else over there seemed to be on the list for the meet. I will call Neilvg tomorrow and check on Leeav and Min also. Did you ever ping any others JP?
I have been in touch with Ori via email and I have Dan's email so any help you could provide reaching out to other NorCal guys or sending me the info so I can would be cool
-
if you want we can source share and get a feel for the Zana and HD2 OTL vs Trannieswha... mike got a date? (that's a bigger shock than Appalachian state)
j/k dude, have fun.
yea, i'm gonna go. Zana duex, CDs, headphones, cables and tubes.

What warts?
I'm a rather big fan of the balanced RS-1. I wish I had thought to take it to NJ so that the people there could have heard it at the meet. Very nice mix of warmth, detail, bass and imaging. Balanced, the RS-1 becomes my favorite Grado, and one of my very favorite headphones. I think the Qualia 010 may be technically better, but the RS-1 is more fun.
(Note: my balanced RS-1 was wired with a double run of the Joseph Grado High Bandwidth Reference cable used in the HP-1000 series. The cable is several times the weight of the headphone 
)Of course, it's not as good as an R10 (obligatory comment about my favorite headphone)
another vote for the balanced rs1, I like these more than the HP2s balanced at the moment. Balancing them totally opens up the headstage
-
Does going on a date count?
there are things more important that audio and the pursuit of a female is one, have fun. Hey if she is a stiff and it's going nowhere man up and dump her and come down, if your prospects are good then...
-
Arrg, bad timing
\it's like 15 minutes from you, unless you are out of town no excuses
Pick up that turntable you know you want. Evil John is in the house

Iron Dreamer
don't recall the rig
there are others that this early with no coffee that I can not remember. Personally I would drive quite a distance to hear the NWO player. The meet should provide a good idea of potential options for folks at the mid to top end of the headphone world with amps and sources. plus you get free coffee
