    my parents offered to buy me a new car if I dropped out of school and went to work

    Everyone interested in this thread should go to this link: Congress' H-1b program is displacing daughter of Programmers Guild president out of the job market It provides some pretty shocking proof of the reason that college degrees (in the case of this specific article, computer programming)...

    my parents offered to buy me a new car if I dropped out of school and went to work

    THE HOW: electrostatic vs balanced rig

    Quote: Originally Posted by Icarium I believe 4 out of 10 that are available are sold (And possibly even delivered) at the introductory price of $5500USD if the MOT thread is current. In that case, there may have been some people who pulled out because of the economy (or other...

    Quote: Originally Posted by vcoheda i prefer my 800/B52 over my O2/KGSS. i am actually thinking of selling my stats to focus on my dynamics. You've got to try them with a better amp. The difference between my A-10 and my KGSS is huge. The KGSS is a decent amp, but that's it. In...

    THE HOW: electrostatic vs balanced rig

    To me, it's all about clarity (low level details and such). If I want thumping bass, I have my car. Stats rule!

    A-10 Thunderbolt ll, Fully Balanced Electrostatic Amp/Pre-Amp

    Serial number 2 is now in my house. I need to get some more listening time before I give it an official review (I'll post one next weekend, and from what I can hear so far, it's going to be a pretty long review, with a lot of good stuff to say), but there are a couple of things that I can say...
