hmmmm these watches all look suspiciously familiar. any f71's in here?

Hot Tub Time Machine 9/10   Watch it in the right mood. Slightly inebriated is better. Have a clear recollection of the '80's. Have already enjoyed Cusack in Better off Dead, One Crazy Summer, etc. You will laugh your ass off. Beware, this movie is crude and crass. Its Back to the future and...

thanks to all the well-wishers. gabriel is our second child and first son. my two year old daughter already has a ritual of dancing to the big 2 channel rig before bed. neither of them ever had a chance.

With the k701's and using the gain button i am listening at just past 9 o'clock. perhaps the pics show when i was running them in for a few days using the ayre disc brown noise phase track. had it cranked up a bit....

i wondered the same thing. the amp comes shipped with the stock opa627s installed and the earth opamps in their own box inside the larger box. i listened for a few minutes with the stock opamps to get my bearings on the stock sound. i told myself to give it some time to run in a bit before...

NAD c565BEE cd player and oppo bdp-83

My C2 arrived last night from China in pristine condition. Ran it in for about an hour to warm up. Played a few tracks with the stock opamps. Open, clear, powerful. A bit dry. Transparent though. Got impatient. Cracked the top. Installed the Earth opamps in 5 minutes. Ran it in for 2 hours with...

This has been a fascinating saga to take in over the past 15 minutes. as the victim of ebay fraud in the past i can relate and would love to see this piece of work thrown off the site. will be filing a complaint myself for the use of such language has affronted my delicate sensibilities. And i...

the c2 has preamp function while the c2c does not, it is a straight headphone amp. it is about 6 bucks cheaper to order directly from audio-gd in china than from pacific valve when you factor in shipping costs. the unit from pacific valve comes installed with the earth opamp upgrade though. this...

I second the 565bee. Ive owned the planet2000, the apollo, a marantz sa-14mk2, and am a current owner of akg 701's. this is a phenomenal cd player. lively and rhythmic, gobs of detail, so easy to listen to. the planet and apollo were nice but a bit polite and boring after a while. the marantz...

tubes placed correcty. no hiss hum or nothing. black silence as though it is off. cabling all correct. there is a chromy dark film around the base of both tubes that i dont beleive was there when i installed yesterday, as though they have been scorched or something. there was one electric pop...

i know this cd player works. i plugged it into an integrated amp to check...

all cables confirmed. tubes confirmed. when i turned it on for the first time, there was a electric snapping pop sound once. then the tubes started glowing. then i pressed play, and nothing. no hum, no sound at all. what gives?
