You should check the HF meet threads made recently if you want that answer.

I wish I could say it was not my internet connection speed.

Yes, I deserve it, epic fail. I should know that a theoretical Gb/sec is more then 500 mb/sec.

Watching Bluray disk rips while downloading full speed off of a fibre channel network with a gigabit ethernet card wouldn't even touch that speed. What would you use that for that could make it a possible bottleneck? I love it.

But... but why isn't it still there friend? :'(

He is all about passing the torch and bringing young people into this hobby. That method might have been be more successful then the meet.

Happy Birthday!

For some reason, this amp makes me think of BDSM leather and chains. It looks amazing.

Great news! I'll be on the look out, I've been kicking myself for not getting any Stax equipment sooner when the getting was good.

Thanks. I would rather pay for this one I think, its not worth risking my life over.

How hard are KGSS parts to come by today?

I have a Edward Gorey Gashlycrumb Tinies mini lunchbox that I am pondering how to put a starving student in. ... and that didn't sound morbid at all. http://www.thebricktestament.com/

It looks really great all around, congrats! OT: I heard mention of Ayre's custom firmware for standard purpose cd drive, now I immediately want to study it. Something like that seems like it might give some great tips for someone making a homemade transport using a DIY cdrom controller.

Self-destruct button.

Apparently, youngsters aren't interested in headphones enough anymore... I wouldn't call Danny the elderly and don't think he spends much time on HF if he believes that line of bull.

I guess if the vibration of the air didn't reflect off their vocal cords and off of my ear canal, I wouldn't hear someone four feet standing in front of me. I'm not sure what he was talking about. He said the room would have to be suspended to test the theory. It goes against what I was taught.

The beginning of the speech was interesting, I kind of lost interest after he told me everything about what his mic could do and then kept talking. If I recall correctly, didn't Joe jokingly mention something about the previously used big bulky TT stylus used on turntable designs being good for little other then beating your wife with? I was happy that my girlfriend who was there had passed out before he got to that.

The stems seem like they might still kink easily. I am personally glad to hear that its four conductors though, makes for an easier conversion from stock to balanced hopefully.

Bought it yesterday to the meet in Charlotte, Joe Grado donated it.

Happy Birthday! Post in the "What are you smoking thread?" when you start.

Judging from some pictures, seems I actually have the newer style SR225 with the beveled edge housing. I was hesitating to take it out of the box since it was signed by Joe. Should I do it and post some pictures? BTW, the box it came in is the same old pizza box with no "i" indication.

Guess now I know who the guy with the Qualia and camera walking around was... Nice pics.

I want them to use a different host for the script so that I can access it from work (server is blocked). *cue waaamblance*

missed the bag of crap by a minute. damn.
