ready and spending like alittle kid again =)

I know i missed a few small meets, work and school was doing a toll on me. Would have 5 days of class, then 4 days of work, 1 day to study and 1 day to relax....left little to no playtime for me. Thank god i had some gear to listen to during that.

I cant wait for this....i come back 1 day and i got the 701s, then traded those for the 650s, now just back a DAC to go behind the DV336i =)

Can wait to see you guys at CJ ...less then 2 weeks....who excited?

Holy crap, that thing looks beastly. The chassis makes it look like an Arcam tube amp to me! (If they made a tube amp.)

im going to go ahead and be the devils advocate

to my expert (self proclaimed) eye it looks like a dress box with 3 white cheese covered crackers in the middle with miniature sized pots that you steam lobsters in on the top and bottom and little bits of oreo cookies with white glazing atop them.

hows that for a description of...well what the hell is it? please tell me you dont actually keep a dress inside it

whatever it is, it looks rather angry. how about painting a smiley face on it?

It is called The Menace, so a smiley face would be a little incongruous.

Sadly, my understanding is that Frank had a conflict he could not miss so he will not be there.
