  1. Went to the maryland rennfest (Maryland Renaissance Festival - Home) with my family. Tried to do the castle climbingwall, and failed miserably. It was fun
  2. The risk is more damage to the speakers than to the receiver.
  3. Portland is great if you like smelly hippies and panhandling trust fund junkies.
  4. I don't have a ton of experience with them off lesser amps, but I've only ever been impressed with the stax with the KGSS and BH. I admit to a distinct lack of experience tho, since I don't want to tempt myself.
  5. But you did screw up the XLRs. You used 2 3pin instead of 1 4pin on the main headphone cable :b
  6. The problem with the O2 is it needs a KGSS or blue hawaii to be superior to a ps1. And even then, the ps1 is still better at some things. The HP1000s never did anything for me.
  7. jealous yet again
  8. 2 dean martin and 2 tchaikovsky lps from the salvation army.
  9. oh probably, it wasn't really a serious suggestion.
  10. It'd be amusing to make a stax to koss adapter, so you can run O2s off the koss amp
  11. Baby steps my friend, baby steps Just mowed the leeward side of my yard. Windward tomorrow.
  12. Ken, can you tell how a socket is wired with an amp in front of you, but the amp closed up? I can't. I'd trust Craig before I'd trust an assertion from someone I don't know. Simple as that.
  13. Yes, but Craig and Kevin have track records. Kevin's an ass, but he knows his shit. Yes, he sometimes makes mistakes. And well, Craig is honest to a fault, and has said that he runs the tubes at lower power for heat reasons.
  14. Fixed that for you. $3000 is a lot. There really aren't many PS1s out there tho, and they are the best sounding grados out of the box, imho.
  15. gave the suburban a tuneup. Nothing like replacing a distributor cap and spark plugs before breakfast to make you feel like a man's man
  16. You stating it doesn't make it a fact, even if you've verified it for yourself.
  17. Adapters work fine. Just reterminate the koss extension cable with a stax connector (rather than reterminating the stax cable)
  18. a good massage, and a better mattress
  19. flats
  20. I have so many pairs of bowls going unused at this point
  21. more important, as it's actually godwin's law, and not what someone on wikipedia decided it was: There are many corollaries to Godwin's law, some considered more canonical (by being adopted by Godwin himself)[2] than others invented later.[1] For example, there is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically "lost" whatever debate was in progress. This principle is itself frequently referred to as Godwin's Law. It is considered poor form to raise such a comparison arbitrarily with the motive of ending the thread. There is a widely recognized codicil that any such ulterior-motive invocation of Godwin's law will be unsuccessful (this is sometimes referred to as "Quirk's Exception").[6]
  22. yankees don't do well in those places (except northern va)
  23. it's godwin's law, as in Mike Godwin. A sanctimonious ass, but not a bad guy otherwise. Anyway, unless you compare your opponent in an argument with nazis, it's not invoking godwin's law.
  24. That looks like kevin smith
  25. If you can sell a minidac for enough to get an 840c, you should jump all over it.
