Smeggy

I'm really excited right now, I received a Fostex T30 in the mail today. Damn it's an awesome driver. The phones were in pretty ratty condition and not working on one side but a few hours downstairs fixed all that.

That set and the set here are both low numbers and others who've heard other, later S/N pairs said my ones sounded better than any others they'd heard. It's also been said many times that early sets are more bassy than later ones though I can't confirm that personally. Nobody who listened to them noticed much deficiency in the low end, even in a room with L3000 and HP-2s etc. They're pretty damn nice phones.

Cool stuff Steve, sounds like you're having a whale of a time with them. I should be getting my NAD back from Walt soon so it'll be fun listening to them again. I have to say, I'm really enjoying the Wharfedales and Fostexes too.

Especially in a posh British accent, like the one I have

Thermionic Valve sounds so much sexier than 'tube'

Wow, that's just the cutest little thing.

Jeez, what are those ugly looking things on his head?

I find it hard to believe he could do worse than Dombya. ... I sure hope not anyway.

Mmmmm, thermionic valves sounds much better that tubes.

Very nice writeup and a good read. Pretty much coincides with a number of other reviews on these I've read. Thanks WP

Weeeee, another leftie here! Apparently I write differently from other lefties so I'm extra special I have to use quick drying roller ball pens or everything I write ends up smeared across the page and my left pinky gets covered in ink/pencil/chalk/crayon etc. I prefer keyboards myself for writing.

I have a wet/dry electric so I can go through all the motions of having a wet shave without fear of accidentally and brutally cutting off my own head should I sneeze while shaving. I think over the many years of wet shaving with sharp objects I must have removed enough skin to provide a good sized leather jacket by now.

Yeah, and watch your fucking language, there are wimmin here ya ball sucking knob-end. Jeez, some fuckers just have no manners.

Bleh, that stuff is mundane. Thermal transducers is where it's at

Enjoy the flight and the return home

That is soooo cool! I knew there must be some useful purpose for nanotubes

I just bought another batch of shrink tube, plugs and assorted shit from Redco and a set of old AT phones as donors. Also got some modeling putty/epoxy stuff to have a play with. It'll make a change from whittlin'

Sounds painful. My day has been a day of hell with the outlaws. I think my head is about to implode

So, is that, like, better than an SR-X with SRD-7? I have to admit, that's the biggest transformer box I've ever seen.

Actually, two seperate deals. Wharfeys from the homeland, the Yammys from elsewhere. I also have some Stax and something else being donated free by a guy in the woodshop. It's been a good couple of weeks

Whut, you need a professional license to keep your circular hole cutting tech accreditation? Dude, that's just wrong!

Walt you old fucker!! Great to see you here. You'll never guess what I found and am buying.... a set of Wharfedale Isodynamics *and* a set of HP-1s for $75 Oh Happy day

Heh, if that's the one Young used to own, I actually got a look at it at one of the Seattle meets. Sadly he was short on time and packing up so I didn't get a chance to listen to it.

What is it you have in mind, dare I ask.
