Voltron

Is the meet going to be focused on hi-end portable gear?

I like the older vintage Heresy models and I have Heresy Is from around 1979. The Forte I was made from 1985-89 and the Forte II was made from 1989-96. I don't know those speakers well, but they have a similar driver complement to the Heresy but in a more upright, shallower box. You can read a lot about them on the Klipsch forum, and elsewhere, I am sure.

I have seen this amp and I think I even heard it with K1000s but in any event it is not a big risk at $175. As a nice tubed FM receiver it is worth that, and you could easily run Klipsch Heresy speakers or other efficient vintage or new speakers off of it.

Hmmm, could it be Transformer?!

No camera here today, so pics will have to wait. Honestly, it works out just fine but I think that it may have been slightly better to leave them the same length. No worries, though, it is not a problem at all and they sound great with the Harbeths.

Yeah, me too. Moar nudity doesn't hurt either.

My iMod dock came in a U shape and has caused me no problems with multiple amps used.

They arrived! Yay Nate! DOTU Bi-Wire Shorties are now hooked up to the Harbeths and are showing a nice improvement in separation, extension and detail over the single pair with crap jumpers. Thanks again Nate, these are awesome.

There is no antitrust violation for the reason Nate said -- the fact is that Vinnie couldn't come up with an iMod for the 5th Generation iPod until Ken had the idea to put the caps in a dock and so ALO came out with the first ones. Others have made them and you are not required to buy one when you buy the iPod so there is no tying or other violation, lawyer Monkey. The language Nenso quoted doesn't have anything to do with damage to headphone jacks that this thread was about, it has to do with using a regular dock without capacitors in it because doing so can fuck over the speakers or headphones connected to the iMod that way. LOL?

I think you saying he might have jinxed it is what really jinxed it. Shit.

Twice. Can't help but repeat the others and just bow down at the beauty of that colossus. Congrats and enjoy.

Incredible, ain't it?

Two 50-something Head-Casers, as of today! Enjoy your days fellas. Cheers!

Come on Deepak, Troy has been an asshat consistently and if you are buddies or have done deals or whatever, that is fine and you may know another side of him. But Pompon -- for whom I have no great affection or concern (no offense) -- only posted a harmless retort after Reks, for little reason, posted the above insult. Not the same.

I disagree. I don't think he has done anything but express an opinion and then he got jumped for that opinion. He hasn't acted the asshat like troymypatience, so until he does I don't get it at all.

We have to shoot for at least one per continent on the same day. Like the headphone community's equivalent of Record Store Day, but international.

Explains much. Happy 17th Nenso, have a good one!

Sweet, Lloyd! [pun intended ] Becky's treats are always amazing and the toffee bit marshmallows are new to me so that will be an extra treat. Resistance is futile, you know that Steve! It is completely pointless and ill-advised when it comes to Becky Bigguy's desserts, so give in and get up here one of these times. I have a suspicion that Lloyd and Becky will both be down at CanJam this year, so maybe you will have to wait until next spring.

Have fun tomorrow boys and girls. We will toast you from Marin with our dirty hair, ears, and red beverages containing lots of alcohol! Cheers!

What is "accordingly" Ti?

You're right. Terribly sorry.

I think your brain has emphasized bullshit I think.

You mean wrong ones? Who wants their thrum blocked by a power cord?

I hope they can't prevent thrum, though.
