I'm really hoping the graduations turn out to be pretty accurate, so I can just turn the handle and move over a fixed amount. I have pretty much no expectations for something that cost $46 or so, but ... modding is always possible

any idea when the head direct orthos will be available?

tear along the length of the package, open up, take out largest pieces, then throw out the wrapper that is containing the crumbs

well, I bought this one today: 5" Machinist CROSS SLIDE VISES DRILL PRESS VISE - eBay (item 190339188874 end time Oct-09-09 15:43:27 PDT) We will see...

no, what I mean, what on the spec sheet of the 274B makes you think it's better suited for your amplifier?

what do you mean by this?

just replace it with one of these, $5.50 shipped: 4/4 EBONY VIOLIN TAILPIECE - eBay (item 330362278124 end time Oct-22-09 21:34:23 PDT)

what does an original Vuillaume tailpiece fetch on the market these days?

grr, I'm hatching a plan that will probably involve stealth for sale ad at the other site. I figure I have $475 or so in mine at the moment, so the $325 trade in doesn't really excite me all that much, I'd rather just sell them myself. Interested parties may contact me, but I haven't totally made up my mind yet. That means the LCD-2 will have to probably make a pilgrimage to the Pacific Northwest as well then

Everytime I hear the HD800 I say, "yeah Senn really got it right this time". The HD800 improves over the previous generations in every way. However, I cannot stop comparing them really. If that makes sense. With Audeze from first listen I compared them to everything I'd ever heard and they just resonated with me.

I prefer the LCD-1 to the HD800, so not an odd comparison at all

For the bias, measure it before the 4.7M resistor, not after. Everything should be good to go once you set the bias then!

heh, I'm still moving stuff out there.

(insert clever geeky pun about the meaning of the Greek word καί and x2)

I think the term is 12" throat.

where are you measuring the bias?

This isn't the best example, or best pic (crappy mini P&S)... but: I actually tried to bevel that one slightly by using a larger head, but not that much (the picture exaggerates the bevel). That hole was made with a hand drill, so it already was sorta wobbly.

I didn't set it, did you?

yes, that's the dedicated breaker for the "drilling rig"... just whipped that up

a couple pics

chumby internet radio player, digital picture frame, alarm clock - more!

how do they terminate them, just of of sheer curiosity.

Squeezebox Radio Website says "preorder only, will ship on October 1st". I hope that doesn't mean next year

we demand impressions!!!!!

bwhahaha... MSC has insane shipping, I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up tomorrow
