x2. Rhapsody ftw!

I meant the upfront duties and then any successive round-trips, but I do not think it is too common to be charged anything at all and the few Price Japan transactions I have heard about (incl. the 2 above) did not involve duties. The PJ price was what had me thinking about the new DP-600 over various used Accuphase players that I mentioned: DP-77, DP-78 and DP-85, all of which are on Agon ranging from $4K to $7K. Still curious about knowledge or experience about these units.

I thought that I had seen a price like that, which was what threw me off even more with $19K. But what about customs/duties?

While I think that the Accuphase gear has the inherent ability to switch voltage (although opening is required) I am not a fan of buying grey market and I don't really like the idea of sending this kind of equipment back to Japan for service.

Anybody have a good feel for the differences between Accuphase models DP-77 / 78 / 85 ? Also, DP-600 / 700 are new and all, but what the hell is supposed to justify those price tags?

I didn't even see the fray until it was mostly blown over, but I did note to myself that you were quite restrained. I was making the simple and obvious point that his and Skin's comments about "the majority of reviewers" just didn't make sense. I couldn't care any less if he wants to wait and see/hear for himself or wants to be the voice of reason while people are jumping on the bandwagon, but the original comments were clearly wrong. Still, I wish you had gone for the jugular just to silence that twit.

My God, it's full of stars.

Or it's a cave opening or an abstract tree line or ...

That is a tall pit.

I was referring to the treeline not the bush.

The clarity?

I don't think it now, but just seeing a small pic of the cover in passing, I thought that she had a giant wedge of frizzy hair. It would have looked cool that way.

I wish you had taken the number1suckassfan approach and dug into your position for 5 or 8 pages of ranting! Keep up the good work Knuckles!

Did anybody else think at first that the big black part of the drawing was her hair? Now playing: Alif Tree -- Clockwork Heard them on the Hotel Costes recordings, and thought I would give this frog chef/musician a chance.

You can't blame a guy for tryin'! Just kidding around, Jeff, and I hope you have had plenty of fun spinning the big black discs today. I need another phone stage -- gonna buy a TTVJ/Millet very soon -- but I am looking forward to an afternoon with my new Koetsu cart tomorrow! Good times.

Based upon the ugly cover means great music theory, that must be one of the best records evar! Me? Done a lot of blues today. Switched to alternative female vocals. Just finished: My Brightest Diamond --Thousand Sharks Teeth Feist -- Black Sessions

I got up early here in Mayberry and had some coffee and checked email and this joint. Took my son to fencing class, and watched him parry, riposte and touche his opponents, winning every bout of the day apparently. Then we took my beloved Gallo Ref. 3s -- my first real audiophile speakers other than the good old Klisch Heresies that I did not actually buy -- to deliver them to their new owner, a nice guy also named Al. Seemed right. Had some kind of stomach bug for a few hours that seems to be transmitted through Head-Case somehow and then settled in for an evening a drinking and music while my wife is at the ballet, my son is sleeping over at his cousins', and my daughter is being friendly for a change in between doing homework. That brings us current. Bummer. I wanted to see it but had my doubts. Is The Pines still there? Burgers, beer, peanut shells or some shit on the floor. My wife got her PhD at Cornell and I enjoyed me some Pines burgers. Nice work, especially for recycling! Sweet pics! Did you win anything? Awesome. I saw them years ago. I cannot even place the location let along the year.

Duck! There's a shovel headed right for the back of your head!

My Stax do not hum in the winter, but they whistle Dixie when it's hot. They shouldn't hum, but check for hairs sticking into the membrane and make sure whatever amp or transformer isn't the problem by trying them out on somebody else's setup if you can.

^^How many heads do you have?
