Intelligent choice! Don't forget it is tube regulated also. In fact, I am currently jamming some Albert King on SACD from the EMM Labs to the SDS-XLR with Sylvania Bad Boys for in and 6BL7GTs for out. Oh, and the cans are my balanced Equinox PS-1s that I have been running in for days. Loving every second. I am hoping that The Maher Menacing Millett and the TTVJ Millett give the SDS-XLR a run for the money. More thoughts to follow next week from SoFla.

Now that is funny! Actually, there's this drive-through coffee kiosk in a parking lot over in Marin county with these high school and college age girls that run out and take your orders and bring you your lattes and what not. If only Mikhail were cuter and femaler that wouldn't be such a bad thing... I think I will laugh every time you use that line. It KILLS!

I like the concept but I think Inadequacy Quotient is more accurate in his case, and it is off the charts. He is constantly compensating for his many, many inadequacies and looking for negative attention just reinforces them so it is quite a vicious little circle jerk. How's that for some pop psychology babble? \

I'm slow, and never really cared much about his other personae before. Don't get me wrong, I wanted his ass out of here but it is a lot easier to avoid or never come across assholes over at the other place.

Nope. Just trolling away with shitty non-answers

I was just about to post that I believe morph201 to be DogFish. Morph used the Dogfish Head Brewery logo as his avatar after all, and his fucking smarmy profile had DogShit smeared all over it. And his yahoo messenger is "d_stewar" so can a mod check to see if that is anything like his email or whatever he had in his account when a member here?

Have a great time getting [re]acquainted with all your gear Steve! That sounds like so much fun, that I plan to meet my Beta next Thursday! Hmm, better confirm with thrice that it will be in Florida when I get there!

Obviously.

The big sleep is the only way to fix a cat. Nice to hear some actual listening is going on over there Nate. The amp is going to be a big hit at the 'Jam and we're all looking forward to hearing it. Now pack it up extra careful-like and get ready for the trip!

Looks kinda like a bumper to me. Cool integrated winch in there too.

Did you happen to save markl's original post from 1:35pm? It ended with a winky and cool smiley at the end of a one-sentence last para.

http://www.head-fi.org/forums/4128967-post131.html markl joins the fray with a knock against Alex. Nice work, asshat. EDIT: I meant Asshat MOT who does potentially competitive work.

Thanks, I assumed as much.

The Jena Labs story is riddled with holes and makes no sense at all. The main thing that is clear -- without even calling Mikhial -- is that they make a huge deal on their super-ironic web page about how the prior modder did not remove the transducers from the housing and only did the wire splice. So we know for sure that Mikhail did go in there and wreck the voice coil. I am curious whether Alex thinks that Mikhail could have pushed the wire in and done any of the damage he found, but I think that JL's own summary of the events shows that they did it. I am also curious if the R10s had Mikhail's upgraded cable on them when sent to JL, because that would kind of undermine their story that BoilingFrog "deliberately did not inform" them about the earlier recable. What, they are such R10 experts that they didn't notice the cable was changed? Another thing that burns me up is that JL's email (copied from morph201's post and pasted below) attempts to say that BoilingFrog had some odd concern about intermittent sound or something before they did their initial work and that he pestered them about this. They said he was being a pain and questioning the sound of his $5000+ cans (even sending a second pair for comparison) but then later on in the email they claim that they did a voice coil repair the first time but never mentioned it to BoilingFrog because it was such a "trivial operation." They also never mentioned this as a possible reason for any of his problems even though he was complaining of bad sound and breakups, which they confirmed the second time they worked on them. They then "repaired" the voice coil by soldering some wire to it, and AGAIN made no mention to BoilingFrog: "In any event, the defect that we could see externally on the drive unit was addressed and repaired in a manner as reasonable as possible without fanfare or mention at our end." Give me a break. Throughout this whole thing, their story is that they found this serious defect and NEVER pointed to it as a possible cause of issues while BF was hassling them for explanations and refunds?! Come on. Here is the email from morph201's post on HF:

How about Puss N Boom's Audio? I so sorry we broked it. That'll be $3,500 please.

Most importantly, I certainly did notice that bit about the tubed up ES2 and it better be at CJ08 or I want my money back! As for the whole deal with Jena, I just posted on HF their own web page states unequivocally that the transducers were never removed by Mikhail or anybody else, so the damage can only have come from one source. BoilingFrog laid out the facts that he understands pretty clearly and if the company wants to tell their side of it let them. I am not going to get into legal analysis of this thing, but you point out an interesting issue regarding JenaLabs' statements to 3rd parties like morph201 that might make them hesitant to cry foul. Steve can probably post what he heard from Jena when he spoke to Jay and Silent Bob. Certainly an interesting situation all around.

Congrats and Long Live the Menace!

Well, did half of NH go dark when you flipped the switch?

The plebes and AC/DC are satisfied [for the moment].

Twice. Look at your first post in the thread where you called people fucking idiots and said "of course Jena Labs didn't damage the R10s" which sounds a lot like disbelieving Alex's express statements that Jena Labs caused the damage. Too bad you can't edit your posts over here. Kinda sucks to be stuck with your own words to trip you up.

No, here YOU go again, DoucheFish. Your idiotic opening salvo calling people "f#kin idiots" like the punk-ass bitch that you are just demonstrates that your only purpose is once again to shit-disturb. The people here who have read Alex's story believe what he has said, and what his pictures clearly show. We would all like to hear what the owner of the cans has to say, but I am sure it will back up Alex. We would also like to hear the Jena Labs side of the story, although Steve's effort to track down details from Jena Labs directly did not really lead to a lot of factual information. If they step up and set out some facts, I for one am willing to listen to them. As for you, not so much.

Mr. thrice is supposed to be sending it to Florida for CanJam and then I will ship it home afterwards. I am looking forward to seeing it next week for sure!
