Smeggy

Congrats to all the new O2 owners While not Stax, I did receive my new (old) Sony ECR-500 electrets from Fungi and am enjoying them right now. Shit they need a lot of juice to work well. I tried them on my Firestone Big Joe and it was struggling and distorting so I threw the old Hafler at them. Now they're happy They are a sweet little can and the years don't seem to have had any ill effect on them, very nice bass and delicious mids. Not as quick as the Staxes and a little recessed in the upper regions but very nice indeed for those sibilant and sharp recordings. They sound very spacious with good out of head imaging. Me like

Have you ever tried to save greens with a wife about?

All my amps added together wouldn't amount to more than $500 and none are anywhere near the standards of the ones on the list.

Sigh, I wish I could afford just one nice amp.

My Siamese never shuts up unless she's asleep.

Oooh, nice!

That's right. Cold and calculated

Pah! I laugh in the face of damage. I live to torment electronics

Personally I'd head for a high speed fixed lens in the 24-30mm range.

The icon looks like it'd make a nice little 'stat amp too. It's reputed thunderous bass and smooth highs might be just the ticket.

I hate to admit it, I am an avid reader of everything but novels. I've read a grand total of about four in my entire 49 years. I just can't get into them. I've tried a number of times and nothing sparks. My wife is a total bookworm. We are polar opposites in our reading habits.

More Bolivian Rosewood.

Here are two of my retarded cats relaxing after a hard day watching the feather flying about.

My office is so full of dev crap I can't fit any speakers in here.

Shit man, just get a new fucking DJ. It's probably easier than finding the right headphones

Oh but it's sooo pretty. I'd like one even if just to look at *sigh*

Particle beam weapons obviously. I'm not sure I'd really want anything on my head that was connected to those, and I certainly wouldn't want to lug it around to meets! On the bright side, you can now say your amp is not only Mil Spec, but Top Secret Mil Spec.

Sony ECR-500 electrets! Vintage goodness FTW

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Walkers Brazil nut toffee.

Mercan Dede - 800

I suggest quietly piping carbon monoxide in there, they'll look pretty fucking stupid being carted off looking all pink and shit. Find an old gas heater and some garden hose, lay back and wait for the sirens
