Frank = flecom, but FrankCooter of DIY tube fame is not coming to CanJam as far as I know, which ain't much more than speculation.

Kid's been doing his research. I hope he's been building up his alcohol tolerance too.

That's the idea.  Of course, you do know that what is pictured is only half the story, right? Look back a few pages for pictures of the power supply.

You betcha, I need to talk with one of you about a transport for it though...

Thanks for the kind words, but it's no where near up to the level of fabrication of Ray's amp. It's meant to be plain mean looking. As Al said, I didn't name in the Menace without thinking.

Any 18 hours, or did you have specific ones in mind?  I guess I will bring them and just keep an eye on them and loan them out to trusted individuals [with a small deposit, of course].

gimme a pair of 650s and a b22 and ill be happy. im a man of very little and simple needs. you can keep your ps 1s im morbidly curious to try them out though. i had the igrados for about 2 hours and i hated the sound initially, well even at the end, but i appreciated the sound signature later on. its not my cup of tea but i was able to respect the sound in a very short period of time. i wonder what the rs-1s have in store for my ears.

Grado all seem to be uncomfortable to me. However, i never had a pair of grado with C-pads on them. Ive always been curious about these. Ive tried the Flats, the HD414 pads, the bowls and they all rub my ears raw. Bowls sounding the best to me.
Anyone have a grado with the Cpads on them they going to bring to can jam?
