South Park reference... obviously wasted on you Philistines.

Jesus.

And: you didn't read [AK]Zip's thread about R10's, did you?

Considering I contributed a number of times to that thread, I did indeed read it. However, that doesn't mean I'm not going to use this cable and just throw it away. It'll should be better than the CD3000 cable that it replaces and I just want to know what it sounds like first before trying other types of cable.

I hope that meets with your approval, but in case it doesn't I don't actually care.

So is this amp based on the one Bozebuttons uses? ES-1 and SDS-XLR in one box sounds like a winner to me.

I'm not sure. I'm not even sure Mikhail is sure

Where did that come from?

I think someone needs a friend

I'm not sure. I'm not even sure Mikhail is sure

in which case, see you in the "How has your rig changed in 2008? And do you have any future plans?" thread

Bottle of Balvenie Doublewood on top of the Transporter for stabilization.

Where did that come from?

I think had too much to drink on Friday's night.

meh.

The SDS-XLR is incredible if you has yet to hear it. Of course, Fing has to wait several months for the amp to be built.....so good luck with the waiting game.

SDS-XLR as preamp?

my latest rig change is a big plant that lives on top of my shelves! details in the blog listed in my profile (i need readers, dammit!!).

and I still haven't received my custom XLR cables, but other than that (and the niggling heat issue), I'm extremely pleased.

Holy shit, I think I just got called out on a fucking blog.

Yup, pretty much.

You are officially infamous on the interwebs.

I have a feeling months=years.

Vince is now a famous internet hero!

Not sure if I'd read that and see "hero", asshat maybe.

I have a feeling months=years.

It definitely will not be 6 months. I believe Andy got his SDS-XLR in 6 months time, so it will definitely be longer for Fing given that his Concerto XLR Accent T will have the SDS-XLR and ES-1 in one box.

Mine is a heavily maxed ES1,My Es1 was also the testbed for future Es1s,The first es1 prototype had Jacks for regular headhones but no internal boards!.

The concerto was at one of the meets,don't remember if it was one of the NY meets.

It was at the Marin meet.

Tom,

I believe Fing's Concerto XLR Accent-T will be better than the stock due to the followings:

1) Near if not equal to SDS-XLR w/ Tube Rect. PSU for dynamic amp instead of the Meastro SE in the Concerto SE.

2) Upgraded ES-1 with tube rectified PSU instead of stock ES-1.

3) Better and more regulated tube rectified PSU

I hope Fing can give us more insight in his amp. I was able to talk to Mikhail briefly the other days, and that what he told me about his amp.

Cool, what kind of start-up? Is it online already? Or are you guys still working on getting it up and running.

Nope, not online yet, but soon. The IT guys are working all day and night already. It's a start-up in the travel business, which lets you find local tour guides (or similar things like translators) with some Web 2.0 elements (kind of like ebay with tour guides instead of products) and with some applications for mobile phones. We want to get things off the ground during the Euro 2008 and Beijing Olympics. Since I'm kind of Chinese, I'm responsible for the latter. getyourguide.com

if it ain't speaker related, meh i would like to hear an SDS-XLR, though.

well you did blow us off that day: IIRC, Hirschizer had his SDS-XLR, ES-1, and other rigs ready for you to listen.....Dusty left that day like the flat was on fire after you called to cancel, heh!

i know, I suck

Fixed that for you

Man, that's just not right, Reks.

I hope you get the power amp situation resolved quickly (& cheaply).

Damn, you have the worst luck.

yeah, my luck sucks. hey, at least i'm (more or less) healthy.

Hope you knocked on some woods there.

That's just sad. :'(

Don't you have any other headphones while you wait on speaker heaven to return?
