Win. Pavement -- Slanted And Enchanted Vinyl on the speakers.

Now that's balling, bitches!

Me too! I've seen a couple of pairs of vintage 57s and 63s for sale down in South Africa, where there's a big Quad following, and have been having ... ideas.

Ditto, except I love me some me.

Crap, I guess Alec is going to be late for school this morning. "Sorry, we were busy purchasing a magical and revolutionary product at an unbelievable price."

^^^ Happy to hear this. I like the midrange of the 007t but find it too soft-focus to be satisfying with the O2s.

Congrats Naaman! Man are you going to be scaring the hell out of a bunch of teenage boys around 2026 or so.

You say that like it's a good thing!

Hell yeah. I went back and forth with Rick about building some MTMs around the Raals for home theater use, but they never came to be. Please report back!

Get O2s naow.

Monkeyboobieresistance. It is futile.

So there!

Does it have a name yet? The Anaconda?

Me too. All the best, Bigguy.

Haven't read that thread much, but did notice Suck-you found time to complain that you didn't put the name on the face plate.

Yeah, that's BS. Passions will cool as the new new thing gets less shiny. I do have hopes for it though, as JP's really sounded good to me fed from his Sonic Studio 302. Apparently he thought so too, as he ran right out to buy O2s himself.

OK, don't hurt him too much, he's good people. I'm willing to believe the eXStatA can take most Stax amps, based on my limited time with yours and JP's so far, but on paper the KGSS is another story.

Naughty photo editor. No lunchtime beer for you!

Especially upside the head! I've heard good things about those sub platters. I'd like to hear a Rega setup with one sometime. For myself, I discovered the difference belt tension can make on a deck like mine. Quite a lot!

Sadly, no.

What if you're a card-carrying limousine liberal? They did pretty well just bringing in the IPO in the current climate. The CNBC talking head said over 70% of announced public offerings this year have either been pulled or failed to make their ranges. Anyway, she's the tall woman lurking over the CEO's right shoulder. The company execs at the front are clapping so hard because they just made real phat lewt. http://www.nyse.com/downloads/2010/03/Obell031110.mp4

Simple Minds -- New Gold Dream Vinyl.

For you habitual CNBC viewers, Mrs. Stretch will be up on the balcony ringing the bell at the NYSE this morning. Ding, ding, ding -- Daddy needs a new pair of headphones!
