August 13, 201015 yr Remember me? Well, I'm back. I recently picked up a PS Audio DL III, some HD650's, and ordered a WA2 from Mr. Woo. I forgot that other place is filled with awkward teenagers and ESL students, at which point I remembered Head-Case and had that n_maher dude reset my password (thanks Nate!). So, this is where you all say "welcome back, Thaddy."
August 13, 201015 yr Author Not really sure! I sold a bunch of gear when I was a poor college student and just recently got the itch. I sort of regret the WA2 purchase already though, should have grabbed the WA22 and gone balanced. Oh well...
August 13, 201015 yr I remember you from when I first started coming around, but then you disappeared. Howdy.
August 13, 201015 yr Hey Thaddy, good to see you back! I thought after that bad fiasco where several people got burned you might be gone for good. Great to see you getting back into it.
August 13, 201015 yr Author Hey Thaddy, good to see you back! I thought after that bad fiasco where several people got burned you might be gone for good. Great to see you getting back into it. You know, to this day that still chaps my ass. $500+ fucking dollars to that dickhead Ken Law. Now that I think about it, that was actually part of the reason I sold a lot of my stuff. I was just tired of dealing with the buying/selling and could never enjoy what I had. Believe it or not I went back and forth with some detectives in Hong Kong for 2 months trying to get our refunds. I hope he died from lead paint poisoning. Anyways, I'm over it enough to start emptying my wallet again, but this time on some nicer gear
August 13, 201015 yr If I may be permitted to throw a wrench in the WA2 plan, if I had that ballpark to spend I might think (especially given your previous bent) about the TTVJ Peak.
August 13, 201015 yr Sorry to bring up a sore topic. That guy deserves whatever bad Karma comes his way. Most of us over here are slightly more settled into our systems. I've quit the upgrade train for the most part. I have a nice DAC coming and may get a pair of LCD-2 Ortho headphones, but other than that I'm enjoying the system I finally built up to. This place is much more about hangin' with good peeps, but we occasionally talk gear. Again, good to see you back man!
August 13, 201015 yr Author Nate, I still regret selling that Millet Unfortunately, I've already sent Jack payment and he's probably putting the finishing touches on my WA2 this weekend. I wish I would have read about the TTVJ Peak beforehand though. It would been A LOT cheaper to tube roll swt, that's exactly why I came back. I'm also looking forward to jumping on the balanced and 'stat trains.
August 13, 201015 yr Not sure what your amp specs are but Jack Woo does offer some kind of a return policy.
August 13, 201015 yr Hey man, I remember ya - you were that Texas guy, right? Geez what made you move to Pittsburgh?
August 13, 201015 yr Author Hey man, I remember ya - you were that Texas guy, right? Geez what made you move to Pittsburgh? I actually grew up in Pittsburgh but moved to Houston for a job offer when I graduated college. I was there for two years then decided to move back to the 'Burgh
August 13, 201015 yr Texans. This is just to funny in a crazy kind of way. Good to see you here Thaddy.
August 13, 201015 yr Author Welcome Back! Todd, I was wondering when you'd drop by, how's it going? PS - Nate, just got an email from Jack. My WA2 shipped exactly a week after I placed my order
August 13, 201015 yr Hey Thaddy... welcome back. IIRC, I believe you had the SN I wanted for my HF-1s (3 higher than mine). I think we had worked it out with TTVJ to have him switch for us, he OK'd it, and then... heh... forgot. Remember that? Ahhh, the good ol' days. **BRENT**
August 13, 201015 yr Author Actually I do remember that, and I'm pretty sure that my Head-Fi feedback would confirm
August 14, 201015 yr Hey Thaddy, welcome back! Man, I still feel angry and a bit guilty about that whole Ken Law fiasco myself.
August 14, 201015 yr Angry I can understand, but guilty? That could have happened to any of us. No way to have seen that one coming IMO. And I'd rather be the guy that believes in people and gets burned once in a Blue moon, than the bitter assholes that never trust in anyone.
