Happy Birthday Nate.

I pre-paid and I got Friday and Saturday for $92 and Sunday for $82.

Happy Birthday

Booked my hotel room so it looks like I might actually make this one.

I bought some Grado flats and about a gallon of fountain pen ink from Jack. Expertly packed and now I have a years supply of sandwich bags that all of the ink bottles were packed in. Win-Win.

I thought in LA you could just shoot wherever the hell you want to.

Happy Birthday.

The way I can tell with mine is by looking at the end of the Parker 51 Made in the USA etching on the body and there is a number there T46 meaning it was made in Toronto in 1946. I guess Toronto was part of the US back then.

As most everyone knows I bought Dan's Balanced M3 and it showed up today and is warming up as we speak. I also got a set of Nate's cables that I will be using as soon as I get a set of Senns.
Thanks Dan.

Have a great one.

Good question. I haven't looked at it in a while. Is there a way to identify the vintage. It was my dads and I'm guessing he had it back in the '40s.
Thanks. I will do a little research and check into the suggestions.
RichardsPens.com • Fountain Pens by Richard Binder
You can find Binder here for a restoration and he also has written up a nice article on the 51 in his Reference Info section that will help you nail down a time frame. The info will most likely be around the imprint for the 51 Made in USA on the body.

The 51 is well worth restoring as it is a fantastic pen. What vintage is yours?

The vintage specialist at Art Brown International in NYC. Re-frosted the cap added a NOS jewel and rehabbed the vacuumatic internals. It writes and looks like a new pen if not better.
There are several specialists in the 51 over at FPN and I believe there is a prominent one down in Florida if I am not mistaken.

Happy Birthday Steve.

A large part of Dan's home system and a pair of APS 4 Pin balanced K340s to play with. Now I just need to find a Senn headphone to connect to the cables I bought and a four pin XLR extension cable so I don't have to stand next to the rack to listen.

Have a Great Birthday!

I bought a pair of HP-2s from David and they arrived as described in excellent packaging.
Thanks,
Jeff

I know the EC amp. I was going to buy the Luxman after remember enjoying it when I listened to it at the last NY meet but then I saw that guy on Head-fi that might be backing out of his Balancing Act pre-order and I thought I might be forced to try to get on the list for one of those.
It has been so long since I listened to headphones, with the exception of the Omega IIs once in a while, and I am behind the times for headphone amps.
-
I was just contemplating having one of those sent my way. I got the HP-2s in today and I actually have nothing to plug them in to. I thought I had a Melos in the closet but I must have gotten rid of it at some point. Just looking for a temporary solution while I figure out what single-ended/balanced amp I want to put in the system.
I guess you don't have the Luxman yet to compare it to?
Post the last thing you bought!
