bigjako replied to PMs quickly and completely. He packaged the headphones so they arrived safely and they perform as he promised. Grade A.

alexdamaet was easy to do business with. He answered my questions and shipped promptly. The Stax energizer was packaged well and arrived safely. I would purchase gear from him again.

I have a non-functional pair of Stax SR Lambda for sale for parts. Fairly recently I replaced the ear pads and I think I replaced the head band as well. The shells, metal driver mounting plates, arch and cable are in good condition as well. Unfortunately, the drivers have gone bad. My...

I have a Stax SRD-7 Mk1 electrostatic energizer in good+ condition for sale. The Mk1 is Standard bias only (not Pro bias) and has 6-pin jacks so you won't plug your Pro bias head phones in by mistake. If you have some of the classic Stax, this will be an appropriate energizer to allow you to...

Viva Pat Metheny! I like Wes M, and Grant G., too, and listen to their work. ? :)

Funny, I lived happily with Apogees powered by Threshold for several years. Then I decided to reclaim some floor space, providing more room to play with our then-young kids, and the Apogees left. My Threshold amps are still here. Even funnier: the stereo store I frequented, actually made a...

And there was this: https://imgur.com/a/z9Dje/mad_shave

For tonight: Visual: NFL Audio: Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Freddie Hubbard, Stravinsky, and so on Nosh: Ghiradeli Dram: Aberlour

Do they have digital in and digital out so you can connect your DAC(s) for reclocking? I bet that would reduce jitter.

I can relate: my favorite Tom Waits songs are covers... Of course, hates Led Zeppelin? Mrs. Sinister Whisperz is a philistine... Oh, wait, I've often wanted karaoke versions for Guns 'n Roses songs...

OP? For this thread? I think that may be similar to "on topic". Is there a PVW which isn't? I think most of their bottles are snatched up by people who have Siltech cables. Just heard "Where's the Walrus?" while catching up here...

We all know plankton breed like rabbits. I wonder what audio trait we can describe as "bunnies"? That's it right there. Haven't you been listening? Schiit is a Roon zone, we don't use Apple Music. Good luck with your trouble shooting.

Is that an Anne McCaffrey cover? NC BBQ has it's place: an excuse to extoll the virtue of TX BBQ. It was fun for a while. I'm glad it seems to have reached the level of that joke about jail-birds telling jokes: "Number 23!", nobody laughs, "Some people just don't know how to tell a joke".

I don't know much about drivers in the rest of TX, but Houstonians, as a group, drive badly on dry pavement when the sun is shining. I think I posted a couple of photos taken through my windshield while I was driving to work the day of the Big Freeze in '21. I didn't feel bad about using my...

My arm isn't that good, double wall should be enough protection. Until I perfect my lob.

We could, though I didn't react to what "woke" might have meant before it was coopted, but rather your generalization that not being woke means you're soulless. Of course, the unspoken premise in my response was I was basing my reaction on the coopted version of "woke". I'd be happy to...

No, it's not. My daughter tells me AL "Mexican" food might win that battle. Have you informed NASA? OK, I didn't realize this was a thing. Until a local restaurant put it on their sign and I laughed I'd never heard anyone say, "margs". All my time in TX it's been 'ritas.

I'll indulge your premise for a second or so, but at least people could enjoy Texas BBQ. Unlike people who manage to choke down NC dead animals: Come to think of it, this might be the most humane thing when it comes to NC dead animals. Almost exactly what you're thinking now...

I like your speaker stands. Or, maybe I like the acoustic dampers on top or your speakers. Actually, being a Browns fan is kind of like being religious: you have to have faith without any proof you'll enter paradise. Actually, eating NC BBQ is known to cause BBQ Non-distinction Syndrome...

The book makes more sense than the movie. But it's not as visually striking. I listen to Apocalypse Now Sessions way more frequently than Dafos or Planet Drum. My two cents (worth both pennies).

PM sent. I suppose it'll have to be that way unless we get a point on the Sine Wave. There's a whole other website for this particular insanity, after all.

I was skeptical about the Pentaconn connector, too. Many Head-fiers who commute to work liked them initially simply because they are physically stronger than 3.5mm and 2.5mm connectors. Important when someone on a train or a bus snags your head phone/ IEM cable on the way by. With five...

Nice! Used 845s as head phone protectors.

Gotta love that X-Files bottle, top shelf, fourth from the left.

Riffing along with @Ableza - recommended drams: I couldn't pronounce Bunnahabhain, so I stuck with Aberlour. Thank you, @Ableza.
