My new toy arrived today....just a quick peek before I move it into place. Very excited about this unit and I was lucky that my dealer was able to get his hands on 2 of them. These are now supposedly backordered till at least 08/15.       Very plain outer box (although it doesn't...

Absolutely beautiful. If I lived there, I'd never go to work 

Quote: No reason.....didn't like silver, and the price was practically the same as anywhere else (no additional charge over the msrp). Excellent job by Colorware, and the finish looks like it will be durable. Only thing is I wish I had gotten the ring in Red to match my LF.

Quote:   HAHAHA...suppose I can't really complain!! - but I probably will.   The M3 has been stupendous....handling is superb, power comes nicely (I just love the non turbo V8...power seems to go on forever) and that DSG has made daily commuting bearable!! I just wish I didn't have...

Quote:   Yeah, lol.....wanted to see if it was better without the new production tubes....a little too quiet for my liking though    Everything is in order now, and it is burning in nicely. I can already tell that it is going to be an excellent amp....a very weighty sound with the...

I think it is a really sweet combination . The Double Helix clone cable on it is only a couple of days old, but I think it has already added a nice solidity to the low end of the sound as compared to the original Sennheiser cable. 

My headphone listening area as it currently stands.....     ...and a closer look at the newest member of the family...........  

If you are looking for a matched quad, you should check them out at tctubes.com. They work out slightly cheaper than even that sale price, and shipping is really quick from MN. Both Tyler and Chelsea are awesome to deal with and they stand behind their tubes. IMHO, definitely the "best bang for...

IKEA expedit units work fine....cheap and solid, different colors and a variety of sizes as well http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10103088/   or you could spend more and get the Boltz unit...very nice...definitely a different price point though...

RSVP'd for me and the wife....   Have been away from headphones for a while, but a renewed interest has taken hold and looking forward to trying out some of the more recent gear (especially the Audez'e headphones) Coming from North OC, and may be able to offer a ride to a couple of people.

    VPI Classic 3 and Dynavector XX-2MKII

So not a Man Utd fan, but I will always cheer for a home team against anyone else!!!

I just love the tagline for this new limited edition hybrid (electric/pedal) bike from M55.   "If the Batman was a non-fictional person, he’d have a Beast in his garage for sure."   Ridiculous to the extreme!!!   http://www.m55-bike.com/en/m55-bike-models/the-beast 

I believe the film that you are referring to is DEEP RISING, starring Treat Williams and Famke Janssen. Pretty good fun movie.

Wadia 581 --> RSA Apache

Thank you for all the suggestions... Just wanted to make sure I had all the supplies I would need to pack anything I can sell as my Vinyl experience/experiment has not cracked up to be what I anticipated.

Does anyone know where I might be able to buy cardboard mailers for 12in vinyl records. A local Orange County/LA County store would be preferable as I only need a few, and shipping on these from internet sellers seems to be pretty high.

I was in Tower, Irvine last night, and the girl in front of me bought a boatload of CDs, and according to the manager behind the register saved over $2,000!! Turned out that she was opening up a music store of some sort and was picking up Rap CDs which were priced down from $16.99 - $19.99 for...

We drove by our local Best Buy a couple of hours ago (Irvine, SoCal), and there were probably 120 people queued up in front of the store waiting for the 4:00 am ticket handout. Looks like if you're not already in the queue, you may not get what you're looking for.

You guys should all be laughing...just try being an Arizona Cardinals fan...oh how much difference 9 weeks make...I started off the season with the greatest of hope in years, and somehow they have managed to suck beyond belief this year. At least I can be consistent and say what I do every year...

Nope ...unfortunately I am finding speakers to be much more enjoyable at the moment and have been looking for a nice pair of Krell (or similar) mono blocks and I needed some extra pennies. Passing the Moth on to someone else was tough, but I just wasn't using it much and I have a couple of...

I did indeed... Here is a picture for AlanY...unfortunately I'm not the best photographer

I can tell you that it really does look as nice in real life as it does in those pictures. Here it is sitting on my display shelf....absolutely gorgeous piece of art.

Staci and I went last night to our local one (Market Place, Irvine), and after have a nose around she picked up a box set at 25% off (same discount as most of the CDs). They had loads of stock...many people looking, fewer buying. Anyway, we were in Frys today and saw the same boxset priced...
