Thanks Kevin, I was actually looking for the tool for another use. I didn't realize a drill bit would accomplish the same thing, until I thought more about it... I just had the word "reamer" stuck in my head I guess. Did you stick the bit in some sort of hand tool then? I figured many chucks wouldn't down go down that low..

Kevin, What size reamer did you use to enlarge the C3381 holes? Looking at MSC, I'm seeing the smallest as 7/0 which is 0.0497" to 0.0666". I'd like to pick up a similar tool and am having problems finding something.

I think the Red Vodka Mind Eraser was extra effective on Al. You really don't remember?!

Cool! I definitely enjoyed listening to Al's DannyB 300B amp. I'm not sure if he is watching, but man I'd really like to own that amp one day... but the force is strong in the Voltron black hole of audio gear. well, shit, the power of marketing is great, huh? I agree. I'd say other than the 100% DIY options (meaning, it's possible to buy a 100% assembled Paramount) I"d perhaps consider the Assemblage 300B as well: http://www.audioxpress.com/reviews/media/GA400HA1.pdf Any details on this setup that AKG used?

I'm totally pissed, as I finally found another site a few weeks ago that would ship a few bottles to me and finally got around to placing the order today. At the end of the checkout, they say that they cannot ship to a list of states, and then at the end they say "AS OF MAY 23rd, 2011 THIS INCLUDES TEXAS". Argh!

Right, an insurmountable challenge to overcome, my bad.

What's interesting about the Cary? What about the Bottlehead Paramount 300B in comparison?

Good move. You would have found that it's not really possible. Amplifiers are designed with very specific target parameters. This is especially true of vintage equipment and specialty equipment. Strapping something on with a vastly different impedance plot, and thereby vastly different TS parameters is asking these amplifiers to do something they aren't designed to do. In many if not all cases you end up with a distortion FFT that looks like a RSA amplifier and discriminates against no distortion order. I think the K1000 seem to favor a small, class A solid state amplifier. I'm not sure how these high impedance cans can really be "current hungry" or need insane wattage....those are just myths that are perpetuated without any basis. Many headphone amps run out of voltage swing with the AKG, for example amps made for lower impedance loads... I think people get this backwards and reuse the mythical "current hungry" phrase that seems to describe the inexplicable need for a bigger amp. Regardless, they are unique and fun headphones. Enjoy!

Wouldn't that imply that the K1000 is a poor choice, given the notch filter that they employ?

I think it's rather interesting to note who hasn't posted in this thread...

Vitamin Water and Z-Pak.

Shelly, Creme de menthe is on my list. Is the light or dark version more versatile for cocktails? I notice that Marie Brizard has both... Not that I can get it here anyways...

Jim, what other books do you have, and how would you rate the various books?

Leave now. Who cares?

Nice! I had good times there

King Cole Cocktail (Savoy) 1 Glass Rye or Canadian Club Whisky. (2 oz Bonded Rittenhouse Rye Whiskey) 2 Dashes Syrup. (1 sugar cube) 1 Dash Fernet Branca. 1 Lump of Ice. Muddle cube and Fernet. Stir well.

Fernet Branca Cocktail (Savoy) 1.5 oz dry gin 0.75 oz Italian vermouth 0.75 oz Fernet Branca Stir and strain!

more progress!

done!

excellent second post!

nope, getting frustrated. I need to "extend" the walls up a bit, say 1/4" or so.... how it stands now the driver frame won't fit in the throat Not sure if I'll have to resize the bending birch pieces or not. Also, I'm pretty sure the top is not cut right, I think we're off by a blade kerf on one side. Fortunately, I can cut this with my saw. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I have any pieces left that are big enough. So, yeah. I've decided to wait until later to address this, and start on the second speaker box

Why didn't you tell me before you sold them to me? :)

Campari and Soda 2 oz Campari 4 oz San Pelligrino Ice Yay!

I just made that up, sorry if I implied otherwise It's yummy though!

Irish Liberal 1.5 oz Irish whiskey 0.5 oz Punt e Mes 0.25 oz Amer Picon 2 dashes Reagans orange bitters 1 dash Fees orange bitters Stir!
