Smeggy

That's what I thought. I said he could reterminate them if needed or just screw the wires into the posts, unless the posts are on opposite sides of the amp and he didn't want to pull the cord apart to reach. Oh well.

Heh, I think Steve is more the man for that kind of precision work, I'm more 'hack 'n' slash' and your drivers would be in dire straits with me Ah, that's how to do it, start out with a sullied rep I think the only statement these make is that the owner doesn't mind looking like a dork. Still, if I get them done and headbanded I'll post a pic so you can all have a good chuckle.

It looks like I'm heading for the 'most retarded looking phones after the float' award. I made a couple of faux sigma prototypes and the best sounding is the dumbest looking. Really fugly! I still haven't figured out how to put a headband on them yet and they're only partly complete. Anyway, We Staxies aren't afraid of a little taunting and humiliation in out deranged quest for all that is electrostatic goodness. Here's progress so far... I'm gonna feel like a total fucktard wearing these.

Naamanf, what kind of speaker connectors does that B22 have because I sent a set of K1000s to ASR so he could have a play and he sent them back saying he couldn't connect them. That K1000 has bare wire at the ends (no plug).

In the 003 it doesn't so much fart or squeak, more of a cellophane crinkling noise. I made the mistake of putting the 003s on the other night and then decided to eat a small snack... scrinkle-cruncle-scrunch-crankle. Eating and 003 not a good combo for careful listening.

I need to get a set of Sigma pads to put on my upcoming faux SR-X-Sigmas. I may wait until the dollar recovers enough to leave the ICU first though. Stupid exchange rates

I rank my headphones as better than everyone else's.

My latest acquisitions, gained through dumpster diving at work Viewsonic Hi-def tv/monitor Sony DVD player Wacom intuos 3 graphics pad Buslink external firewire HDD. I like it when work decides to toss stuff out.

Hmm, you guys are way too gentle and altogether too technical regarding Lambda earpad foam. I just grabbed it between my fingers and tugged until it ripped out. Not too hard. No need to unscrew or unstick anything, it's just thin foam and comes out quite easily. Brute force and ignorance FTW.

Erm, what was the topic again? I got all distracted by thoughts of pierced bits

Hmm, wonders if the nips got the same treatment, and where is the tat she's almost certain to have.... need some bikini pics

Redheads can be quite cute. Not very good at gettin suntans though.

Has she got bad eyes or something? Eeech!!

Congrats on the new arrival, commiserations on the sleepless nights to come

Angle vice and some other toys

That's some funny shit right there. DIY while doing drugs sounds best. My most recent almost fuckup... forgetting Koss transformer speaker connector wire colors don't correspond to their Stax counterparts, connect it up and go do something else for a wee while. Didn't realize my amp could get that hot and not melt. I think you can safely say my amp got as close to it's full burn-in potential as it's ever going to get without burning my house down. Thankfully everything still works quite happily.

Troof dat!

It's strange, none of that old stuff does diddly for me even though I'm a bit of an 'oldie' myself. I've never owned any Beatles, Stones, Who, Beach Boys, Seger et al. Never really liked any of them.

Ugh, a really shitty remake of the Andromeda Strain. Updated to accommodate such crap as Saddam Husseins biological weapons and Big Brother homeland security. All-star cast of 3rd rate tv actors. Somehow I doubt this will be nominated for any awards.

The Xana sounds like quite the amp.

Old episode of Criminal minds.

Damn Tachikoma, that's cheap. Good find, although we'll now have to shun you and expel you from team budget Stax.

Exciting times, I loves all my staxes. I get the distinct impression I'll end up totally planar at some point.

Hah, I haven't seen one of those Stantons in decades! Nice shot.

Funnily enough, I want to try the Sigma Pro before the Omegas. The Sigmas are too wacky to ignore.
