I could go Back to bradford's next week and chat with the owner again, provided we had an agreed-upon date. Is everyone down with the first weekend of August? I'd also like to make sure we know exactly how many people are going to show up. by the way, sorry I've been incommunicado for a...

I'll be taking a class that week, but if it's the weekend then it won't matter. I say sure!

I stopped by Bradford Hi-Fi on Friday but I did a terrible job promoting our meet! Still, the owner said that he might be interested so I'm going to go talk with him again once we have some more info. I guess we should try to figure out the date now and make sure that it works for him; I think...

I'll stop by tomorrow. I work very close by, so it won't be any trouble at all.

hah! look at this. An Oregon meet? Again? Dare I slip back into the Audio world from which I escaped so long ago? Yes, I think I dare! Budgie, it'd be great to meet up and compare notes again. I'll try and keep myself updated on what you guys are planning to do. Me, I'm in Eugene so that...

I do not play violin, however as a musician I can make at least a few suggestions. Making your instrument a central part if your life is the only way to ever master it. Practice physically, and then think about violin during every minute of your free time. I only practice a few hours physically...

Quote: Originally posted by D-EJ915 I'd say if you want-ULTRA-tight bass, I'd go for a pair of Paradigm's Mini Monitors and get one of their subs, which have a super high "q", so they'd fit your bill, and they'd probably be cheaper too is their sub ported or sealed? If it's ported...

Thievery Corporation's DJ-Kicks compilation is exceptional. If you haven't heard it then you should definitely check it out. I also like Kruder & Dorfmeister's "G-Stoned" disc, which is really laid back. Really good music for, you know, chilling with your friends. By the way, isn't track 2 off...

Quote: Originally posted by zoboomofo Where's Neruda when you need him? Thievery Corporation, and my favorite: Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister. Yes, yes, bring on the thievery and the K&D! Peace orchestra is really chill too. Haven't heard zero 7 yet, but it sounds like I should.

yeah, well, I haven't been posting a lot, even though my last post is relatively recent. In fact, I'll have to thank moo for pointing this thread out to me in the first place. I guess that college has made me lose most of my interest in headphones. The irony is that it wasn't until I went to...

Floydians rejoice...

man, I haven't heard a thing about the alessandro grados for a long time! In fact, I'd forgotten that they even existed! http://www.alessandro-products.com/headphones.html to answer your questions: I personally have never noticed an increase in efficiency during break-in, but I suppose...

I think I'm actually going to go with either a Cambridge Audio A300 or A500 now, so long as I can find the right deal...

that would be...um...eloquent.

does anyone here own a Denon DRA-685 stereo receiver? I'm thinking of picking one up on eBay for ~$250, but I want some opinions from people here before I buy anything. In fact, if anyone has any opinions on an integrated amp or receiver that I should buy for less than $300 (used or refurb is...

ironically kelly, your new signature is the only one I've seen that would cause a problem. There are some long signatures on this board, but they're the exception and not the rule. for the most part, people seem to be pretty sensible about the length of their signatures. I've seen forums where...

I just got back from the party I went to last night. I had me a good time, don't worry!

man, about time I presented myself, huh? thanks everyone! I'm pretty stoked to be 18 all of a sudden. I've already had two excelent dinners, the first of which was spent with my good friend kwkarth and his wonderful wife at a middle eastern restaraunt I used to drum at. His dollar bill...

Well joe, I only own the outlaw PCAs, but I know I can reccomend them as a fine cable for the money. you shouldn't be disappointed if you buy them. by the way, greetings from another oregonian.

One of the best speakers I've heard was a single 4" Fostex FE108S fullrange driver in a rearloaded horn. beautiful clean sound, with an excellent soundstage. very realistic!

snopes rocks.

nOrh is putting out a very inexpensive tube amp right now, and it's integrated so you'd only have to make one purchase. It's $400. check it out here: http://www.norh.com/products/se9/index.html just in case you're still considering alternatives to the wave 8s. this should be better, but...

it seems to me that giving those new PX100s a try would be a pretty good idea!

For your pleasure: some big damn pictures. did I say big?

purple cable?
