Congrat CJ. Mike is right unless you go to Yale or some other theory-heavy law school that is mostly worthless at producing good practicing attorneys.

Indeed on all counts! GABF '11 > RMAF '11

Sheee-it! I didn't know about this at all until just now. Here's to Jim's wife's family coming through and as others have said to hoping all HCers coming through unscathed.

Grinderman 2 was pretty bitchin'. Now playing: Robert Plant -- Band of Joy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STRETCH! We really have to get you to start drinking in the morning, because you are all out of sync down there and don't hang around like you used to. Hope you have a great birthday Stetch, and save your birthday Rand for a meetup stateside one of these days! Cheers!

Sounds mint, Doug. I want to "wonder around" those streets with you one of these nights.

I am in the same market and keep meaning to ask Jim what he bought and how his experience has been. Takagi is another brand that has been recommended -- although dubiously -- by our contractor. He says he has replaced as many instant hot water heaters as he has installed.

Of Montreal -- False Priest

X x+1 Dan!

No, not AOL, Marc needs ALO! Bigger cables let through moar bass, email, and stuff.

So I assume you are going just to get some CBS, right?

Have a great day spinning vinyl in your birthday suit! Cheers!

You've had some grief with that amp, but I've got to figure it is either because of the work that dude did because a McCormack amp wouldn't do that on its own (from my experience fucking with them). The other easy solution is that I have blown fuses in mine many times because of lame setups and you should open it up and check them. I bet you blew some on that side. Easily replaced and all is well.

Just giving back, because you introduced me to JG. I think you'll like it. You add a Moog synthesizer and drums to Jose's voice and his guitar and you get this trio. More fleshed out and full. I liked it a lot. Then listened to their EPs. Also good.

Junip -- Fields Vicki and other Jose Gonzalez fans take note that Junip has been his band for 10 years but this is their debut album. Sounds cool.

Same here on the during and after parts, but it was painful before on at least one of my 3 root canals. Hope yours goes smoothly Mike.

I wasn't sure of the connector on the GS-X, and you can have it re-terminated into 2 x 3-pin XLRs if you want the most straight-forward option. But I still like the convenience of the 4-pin XLR as the termination, and then use adapters as needed for whatever amp you have at the time. I have pretty much any kind of connector covered with various adapters, some going in each direction (M to F and F to M, etc). It is still too bad that Headroom went with the 2 x 3-pin as standard for their early balanced amps, when they could easily have chosen 4-pin and made all of our lives easier.

But this is the whole reason why people have suggested that you get the stock cable re-terminated with a balanced 4-pin connector. Whoever does it for you can cut off a few inches at the end and turn the current 1/4" plug into an adapter. If it will get you over the top, I will send you mine and you can compare.

Was that the good Dr.AW who was obsessed with the mighty Bada?

Fantastic looking Cicadas Jim! If you don't have spikes for them, I bought some rubber cone feet from Craig for really cheap. They are the ones he uses on the Zana and have the same thread size. I like the sound with them more than without them.

I could sell somebody my spare board set for whatever I paid Kevin so as to not let the chassis go unused.

Jazz in the afternoon:

Thanks Scott, but she got the ETY.com and likes it a lot so far. She only wants one ear piece for some reason, and she liked the sound and the mic quality. Thanks for the recco, Dan.

With one work listen, I liked it. It seems more like Regina Spektor than I remember her last one.
