This meet was 10 years ago today. THe end of an era.

Seriously, a nine year necropost for that?

I had fine results with an srx mk3 and srd7 powered by an 80s luxman integrated amp.  No lives are at stake, with inexpensive gear you shouldn't feel compelled to move up the chain unnecessarily. 

they're not really anything like grados in how they wear.  And transformer boxes are fine, if properly fed.

Meet impressions generally follow consensus, because its really hard to listen critically ate meet, and most people follow the herd.

not just a decade ago, but a decade ago and he stopped making it because it wasn't making financial sense to keep building them.

always trust your own ears.

because the primary use for them was tube tvs

I think almost any current stax setup would be comparable to your current setup, with most being a big step up.  There are differences to the nature of the sound tho.

Ah, ok.  Yes, every range I've been to is ok with collecting your own brass, and generally not ok with you collecting others' brass.  Within reason, of course.

I wouldn't ever go back to a range that frowned on people shooting .22.  And I say that as someone who doesn't own a .22.

one that was in response to the pistol grip ban, at that.

I think the theory is relatively straight forward.  You need a barrel long enough to burn all the powder and get all the gas expansion you're going to get, and no more.  Once you've used up the propellant, you just have drag from the barrel.

Are you kidding me?  A 3 year old thread bumped for "+1"?
