You should get a set of TO Bands to go with that (really)
T.O. is such a stand up guy, how could I possibly go wrong? Seriously, I just ordered one as a Valentine's Day gift for my wife. She's really on a "get back into shape" kick and will enjoy it. The way I look at it, the dumbbells and Body-solid make up the home gym and the TO bands will be our "portable" gym.

Wait, he must be a spy. Everybody knows that you can't mention HC on HF. Oh well, I guess one more spy here won't matter. Welcome!

Happy Birthday Stephen. Hmm, an orange viking. Never seen one of those before.

Seattle Spring meet: 3.22.08!!!
<snip>
20. FooTemps
I never realized that FooTemps is such a headphone meet groupie. I met him at the SoCal meet in 2006 and again at MOA. Is there any meet he hasn't been at?

The name of his business seems to be S2 Audio.
Shill!

Thanks PFKMan23, I wasn't sure if that'd be kosher from me.
Steve, this is Headcase. Everything is kosher here except being an asshat. So don't worry about HF MOT things, say what you want. The worst that will happen is some joker will respond with:
MOTMOTMOTMOTMOTMOTMOTMOT

George (gtp) showed how to correctly join a forum. He lurked for a while first to get the lay of the land, figured things out and then introduced himself. We'd have no noobie fun if they all did this. I see no reason for a special forum. Here's proof that it's easy to join Headcase without getting dumped on. I'd rather it be an intelligence test rather than a hand-holding experience. Besides, if we make it too easy, all the noobies on HF will soon be here too.

Exercise equipment! First, Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells:
and a Body-Solid EXM1500S home gym:
I choose this gym because of its small footprint, uses a weight stack for resistance, it was very highly rated and, lastly, I got a great deal on it. Fortunately, the blond didn't come with it or I'd have to start my own "getting divorced" thread.
I got my first workout today getting the gym and dumbbells up the 27 steps from our driveway to our front door and then into the house. See, it's already working.

Thanks Nate.
Yes I do build them to sell. Everyone is custom though, as I hate building the same thing over and over. I have many pics of stands I've built for people that I could send to anyone who might be interested. Also S^2 Audio (warrior05 and I) has a less expensive stock stand that Scott builds, and they're quite nice on a budget.
Does S^2 have a web site? If so, could you please publish the URL? Thx.

If you don't want uber-boutique cables Headroom actually carries a pretty decent selection of reasonably priced cables.
If you would like a mini-RCA that is less expensive than any listed on Headroom, you can always go with Blue Jeans Cable. If you don't see exactly what you want, you can call them and ask them to make exactly what you want.

I dont hate the 701's .... I actuallty think they are quite good. But, I like the Senn 580/600 and the Alessandro MS2's better.
If you plug a 701 into Voltron's SDS-XLR, it sounds damn fine. Especially if it has been balanced.

LOLZ.

I've always said to my wife that I could lose my sight, touch, taste, smell, but jebus don't take music away from me.
If you lose taste or smell you'll no longer be enjoying any more Plinys, either Elder or Younger (Russian River Brewing Company). Are you sure you could give that up too?? Sure, I believe that!

Me three! Honestly, this is the most fun audio website in which I've participated. Audioasylum was fun for me but nothing like this. I rarely visit it these days. HF was and remains to a lesser extent fun too! But this place is different than most forums. Thank goodness HF went down or I might never have found HC.

Happy Birthday.

That'll teach you guys to play spin the bottle at a meet.
Or breathe the air on an airplane.

The Pico does look sexy but that Cooter amp looks like something else. My K1000s are crying.
I agree, Frank's amp looks great. But as good as it looks, it sounds even better!
-
I guess I shouldn't introduce myself then.
Probably not.

Really?
It depends on what you are like.

I don't know anything about Websense but just read a bit in Wikipedia. Here is a pertinent paragraph:
Websense does not merely filter users' Internet use ? it also tracks it. According to the company website, "Included at no extra charge with all Websense products" are tools for "comprehensive reporting on the endpoint" with drill-down features to "access data by risk class, category, URL, application, user, workstation, dates, and more."[2] Thus, it is quite easy for administrators to see exactly what users are going where on the Internet.So yes, it also tracks where users are going. If you are worried, I suggest you read the entire Wikipedia entry and maybe other information that you can find on google.
To think that I once felt guilty working on software for delivering targeted ads. That's nothing compared to this. All of the people that worked for this will be going to hell for sure.

P.S. The ad software was never released, so no harm was done.

Hey George! Welcome to Head-case and sorry about your thin skin! You mean to say that your Mini-3 isn't still getting better? You probably didn't use a big enough capacitor in it. Or maybe you forgot to add the magic aging dust.
We can have the next mini-meet as soon as I convince Frank Cooter to have it at his house. He has that small DIY amp that you and Hiroshi should hear. I should hear it again too.
Then we can tell him about this place. He'll like the DIY emphasis here. -
I take it that when people say they have crabs, they're talking of something significantly smaller. I can't imagine more than two or three of those in your pubes before it gets difficult to pull your pants on.
It's worth it though. The ladies are really impressed!

The Lavry and Transporter are mid-fi? Ouch.
Compared to the NWO, EMM stack and AN Dac-1, I'm afraid so. Somehow, I'll just have to find a way to be satisfied with my eXemplar Denon 2900. :'(

1. My SDS-XLR with Neil's NWO 3.0G. I'm still a dynamic guy at heart, and hearing what that rig did with the HD650/Equinox, HD600/Wyvern, K701/Black Dragon, and Ed.9 (all balanced of course), really melted my heart. I don't think I will replace my EMM SE stack soon with the NWO, but man is it godly.
Considering the wait list for an NWO 3.0G, you probably should put yourself on it now. You'll be ready for it (or whatever is next) by the time you reach the top of the list.

What are the top three system at the meet guys?
You mean besides mine, right?
Here are my picks for the top three systems:- Frank Cooter's DIY amp, Audio Alchemy/AN Dac1, HP-1
- neilvg's fantasic electrostat setup, especially with HE90
- Voltron's SDS-XLR with pretty much every dynamic headphone except AKG K340. They sound better on my system. That's good because that's what I have. Oh yeah, the Sony CD3000 doesn't sound great on it either. Every other dynamic headphone I've tried sounds better though.
- Frank Cooter's DIY amp, Audio Alchemy/AN Dac1, HP-1

Are you sure that it's an act. He is a lawyer after all.
