I've heard they sound better too!

They are damn fast, I have to give them that. Of the three above, they win on the bread category. I like Italian meats, which they don't have great meat compared to Jersey Mikes, but the bread is that extra bit chewy which is badass.

I like JJ perhaps not as much as Jersey Mikes or Potbelly, but it's a close third.

Shit I have a couple those. My daughter loves "keta kitty" as she calls it.

Heh, that's an interesting way to put it. Well, if you do, good luck!

The best trimmers hands down are the Vishay 1280G. It's a bulk metal, PCB mount type and far superior sounding to cermet or plastic conductor (IMHO and all that): http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CCsQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vishaypg.com%2Fdocs%2F63056%2F12801285.pdf&ei=FaL7TOzADYX7lwfq18WMBQ&usg=AFQjCNFeFMvx8XOkF-gFhxHMLpJlr2bPWg&sig2=Yz8nxy7IX3V9P3v5HkXncw I worry about metal end caps. I'm okay with that foible. Regardless of metal end caps, carbon film resistors will be an order of magnitude noisier than their metal film counterparts.

He removed his last name and place of current employement. Standard practice I hear in NYC these days.

Don't let him waste valuable bitters! I demand a formal talley!

The Rega's don't have a suspended TT sound that I can hear. It's not a suspended deck, so perhaps there is a confusion in terms. Do you mean like a Systemdek (I used to own one) or (shudder) Linn? The Rega charm is that the whole package is more or less tuned to a certain sound. It's definitely like a cocktail, greater than the sum of its parts. Perhaps that's one of the reasons that the Rega really changes once it's mounted to a wall for example. Again, I think it's a carefully tuned product. Now, where we can agree probably is the Rega lack a real weighty, meaty sound. I'd totally agree with that. We could talk about this if you'd like, but it's no massive or idler design. If you're listening to classical instrumental, the Rega is going to shine in my opinion. I'm not sure what price difference we're talking here against a project, but I've seen Planar 3 with RB300 combos for $350-$500 or so shipped?

I think we should reserve the right to keep "bad-ass", other than that...

Here is the Mayberry challenge. Make a drink that looks like "red vodka" but is really an official head-case approved cocktail. Jim? Al? Go!

.. or double-ass anything, as the case might be here

Done shopping for my assignee. John is a high roller, kept creeping up the budget! I know, right? I had to respond though. So, booze and music, typical Head-Case style.

I'd take a Rega any day over a Pro-Ject table. I have a P3-24 right now and enjoy it While audio memory is something that's a bit hard to rely on, I think the Planar 3 with RB300 sounded a bit better than the newer package. With Rega, buying used is a decent way to go. Just insist on original packaging. It's smartly done and should survive pretty much anything. Just off the top of my head, I've shipped and received probably 10 times total without any problems. Even if something were to go wrong, replacement parts are very easy to get your hands on and they are reasonably priced.

Use parts that fit. With the voltage and heat in this amp, not to mention it's propensity to blow (historically speaking) if you are not careful and the unavailablity of the circuit boards, I'd save yourself the fustration and not try to shoehorn these resistors into place. You want an amp that will be a soild build for years to come that is troublefree. Just my opinion though.

the info is in the BOM. Simply look up the listed part and check its spacing and go from there.

Steve, I didn't mean to imply that it would be red seal* quality, maybe a mere gold... * click here and scroll down for LOLs -> Wood ID pics, COA info, headphile

Larry? I mean, he has after all cornered the market on woodworking, so why not the T50RP?

Ha! So those cable vendors are necessary evils in this hobby, huh?

I demand recipes with lots of cutting then!

Just giving you a hard time. The HD wasn't a decent option? I see how this could be addicting, though I'm sorta finding lame excuses to use my new Hiromoto. No time to actually cook these days, but soon enough.

Swedish steel?

AKG? Surely they'd fix their own headphones.

Elias, good luck picking apart the voodoo science of three channel amps Grounding is a massively hard to understand art, so *obviously* the thing to do is add a third channel.

amazing what kids learn from their parents. oh wait, that's not called hitting we have a different word for that .. "spanking".
