  1. Damn, Mexican Standoff. I'm foiled again! Okay, behave yourself young lady. Did I invite cj? I should be banned for that alone.
  2. Vicki, do have to ban you on HF now for recruiting?
  3. I haven't mowed the lawn since I was a kid. I told my wife that I wouldn't buy a house until I knew that I could pay someone to take care of the lawn. She agreed and 17 years ago we bought a house. Damn Nate, 3 hours. Think of how soldering you could be doing. I bet you could have had a Beta 22 done in that time.
  4. Nate, good luck with the new amp project. It will be great to hear the finished rig at the first annual New Hampshire Meet. I'm glad the Cicada drivers will be getting some use.
  5. There is one person in front of you. I don't know that I will tire of it, although with my track record, who am I kidding. If I end up having no use of it at home, it will likely be my speaker amp for my office since it has speaker taps.
  6. I can't wait to get it home and fired up.
  7. New Nugget Audio toys just arrived:
  8. Tom, Happy Birthday!
  9. My only issue with the UE11 was that I thought they crossed the line for me in terms of too much bass. I just don't know how much of that was related to the fit issues I had with the universal. Did I mention how much I enjoyed Juan's modded Earmax? If that baby is ever for sale, keep me in mind. stevieo, have you contacted the guy that built it? If not, move your tired old ass.
  10. I was sitting there in the group and I had no idea that was Zach.
  11. Zach, where were you? I know I didn't drink enough to forget meeting you.
  12. I've been home since 12pm. Jim got me to the airport early enough that I was able to get on an earlier flight. Jim thanks for the ride both from and to the airport! Dan, thanks for a great time (especially the whiskey)! The meet was great as was the before and after meet festivities. stevieo was on his best behavior which was nice as I didn't feel the need to threaten his life once during the entire weekend. It was great seeing the usual suspects as well as meeting new people this trip. I listened to a bunch of gear and for me the highlights were the BHSE/O2 and Juans modded Earmax. I only spent a short time with the BHSE at CanJam. This time I made sure I really got an opportunity to hear what this amp could do and I have to say, I was not disappointed. I was not a fan of the 02 until now. I don't think they have ever sounded so good to me. Justin really has a winner on his hands. If I were in the market for an amp at the price of the BHSE, that would be in my top 3 for sure. Juan, had a modded Earmax that just sounds beautiful. I have no idea what mods were done. The amp has been recased and preamp outs have been added. I used Dan's HHF-1 and a pair of wood Audio Technica (not sure which). The amp was paired with a Burmester cdp and the combination was great. I had a chance to hear the Headroom Stereo Amp and I'm hoping that one day, I will have one of them in my office speaker rig. Those were my listening highlights. I tried the UE10 and 11. The fit didn't work well for me. I a tough time getting them in my ear, even with the small tips and foamies. I was able to get a good seal if I pushed them in my ear and held them there. I am sure they would have been more enjoyable if I had better fit but from what I did hear I don't think would cause me to give up my FreQs, especially when the price is factored in.
  13. Waiting for my bags.
  14. Thanks. Just got on the plane.
  15. Two bags free on Southwest when under 50 lbs. I am at the airport drinking a Key West Summer Ale.
  16. I hope you had a great birthday Indra!
  17. I have two bags filled with about 60 lbs of t-shirts ready to go.
  18. At least you have come to realize that I am just a country lawyer. One more thing, no pictures for you! So if we don't want your cell number we shouldn't pm you with ours?
  19. Have a Great Birthday!
  20. Thank you! Woke up, went work, came home, left for Mount Trashmore (aka Vista View Park) with my wife and did 3.5 miles, came back home, dinner (Chipotle Buritto Bowl), enjoying some time with my hhf-1's before I fall asleep. It was hot and humid on the trash heap.
  21. Low fat cinnamon graham crackers and water.
  22. I think so
  23. Even more reason to be excited about this meet.
  24. Are you going to share this weekend?
