hbd sir. hope you had a good one.

she is under age. and as far as i know, no. and it better stay that way. she is one of the "cool" kids. doesnt like hanging out with nerds like myself so a collection of us will be harder to sell her on.

while i do thank everyone for the kind words, lets try to keep this thread on track. sorry for derailing it in the first place.

count me out of this one. parents just left for india. grandpa passed away. have to stay home with the sis. they come back on the 17th so might be able to come on the 18th if anything is going on then.

you might have been a little too drunk at la. given that i wasnt at la and what not...but thanks

what amps are those?

damn birthdays for everyone happy birthday sir.

im on nob hill and southgate. well south of southgate on nob hill. shoot me a pm if you ever have a few hours to kill. ill skip on over for a listen. i just want to see how they compare to the 127e based monitor i have heard. hearing the metronomes wouldnt hurt either

slightly off topic but a little birdie told me that you have a set of fonkens or mini fonkens carl? perhaps not at the meet itself but would it be possible for me to have a listen sometime?

might be able to bring 2 power amps + 3 pre amps if you interested mike. and some abs speakers. rather not bring the speakers, annoying to move as they are rather bulky.

why thank you, thank you. still at school finishing up some work for tomo. get to leave at 7pm and then off to le tub for some festivities. all are welcome to join us if you are local or visiting. thanks again.

happy birthday sir.

mike with a soldering iron, maybe i should just stay home for this one.

more sp amps down the drain. i wont have any gear to bring. im sure someone will have a pair of 650s there. will bring marks cable if anyone cares to listen to it. hopefully the stitches dont hurt by then.

the power supply page led me to the aikido. sounds like an excellent choice for a headphone amp and a line stage. i have to get to bed now so havent had much time to research. is the moskido a revision of the aikido? is the same pcb as the aikido used with additions or is it something entirely different?

given the progression i think all of us will be dead by next tuesday. rip billy. your well manicured beard was an inspiration to all us bearded folk.

back in india and england we used a lot of appliances with voltage transformers. perhaps the transformers were of poor quality but we always had problems. if the price differential is that small, then my suggestion mirrors grawks as long as it doesnt break the bank. your previous posts indicate your bank will be fine.

rarely do you see people who are happy with what they have the very first time they buy something. not trying to say you wont find happiness with your gear but from the little experience i have and from the reading i have done, there will always be a juicier piece of meat. up until the time where you have all the best meats. and then you just start wanting more. get what you want now. enjoy it. if you are happy with it, excellent. if not, think about upgrading when the time comes.

hf2 + pico dac + gilmore lite = win. not sure where you saw the gilmore lite getting slammed on these boards. seems to be a well loved amp around these parts. and others for that matter.

hf2 + pico dac = $750? doesnt leave a lot of room for the amp. i guess my suggestion would be get the phones and a decent amp now and save up for a nice dac.

happy birdday to you as well sir.

happy birdday sir.

some malignant crap was growing out of it. i asked for a head transplant but for some reason they said no...

top of my head.

thats the top. they did some funky stuff at the base as well but the photos didnt come out as spectacular. 1 <3 percocet. also, the jelly stuff on the top is something called dermabond. they apparently dont use bandages anymore. burns like hell but a heck of a lot more convenient.
