Quote: LOL...sorry about the unepic 500th.  I'm not sure about the Sony but on my Canon and on the Nikons I've used the aperture is controlled by the control wheel + an function button on the Canon it's one of the two zoom in/zoom out buttons, I can't remember which.  Hope that helps with...

Quote: First off a tripod is a must, generally anything slower than 1/60 will get blurry. Low ISO is also a must, it decreases the noise. Other than that you can play around with the settings, personally I like a large aperture for low light shots because it pulls the subject closer and...

Quote: Holy moly you weren't kidding...Geocities called :) I think they need to tube roll their website from the PDP-10 it's currently running on.

Quote: Drool, time to start domestically embezzling the funds ;)

Quote: Kind of figured that :)  Lets say $500 to start.

Quote: I'm also starting to feel an itch coming on, that said anyone have some recommendations for decent turntables to look at?  Did some googling and like all things audio prices range greatly so any advice is greatly appreciated.  

Quote: Hey rookie,   Sorry I thought I PM'd you this morning but that was the other member interested.  I work 9P-9A on the weekends and I'm pretty toasted by 9A so my apologies for not letting you know that I got the pads in on Saturday.  I'll be working on them this week, hopefully...

Quote: W00T, amen to that brotha!!! Got the stuff in this weekend to make the sets 

Less entropy?

Quote: Have you modded your HE-500s?  Try the jergpad mod, it will give you something to do that is relatively inexpensive and allow you to explore some different facets of the HE-500's capabilities.

Currently listening to them on my starving student (alternate BOM) and loving life.  I have also done the jergpad mod on the cans and highly recommend it.  I also highly recommend listening to Trampled by Turtles :D

Quote: Yeah, total dick move (putting it very nicely).  Was that what he got you for?

Quote: HAHA...mine expired 8/11, nothin like breakin the law! LOL

Quote: LOL typing on a boob.  http://deskthority.net/wiki/Topre_switch has a pretty good description. The switches take a little getting used to but now it is by far my favorite keyboard.

Quote: I believe it has the MX Brown but it's at work so I'll have to get back to you.

Quote: Nice KB!! I have a Filco Ninja with the Cherry MX switches but I've really fallen in love with my Realforce with the Topre switches.  If you're into mechanical keyboards the Topre switches are a must try.  Do we need a keyboard appreciation thread? :)

@MorbidToaster @AHorseNamedJeff @TheCopWhoMightHavePulledMeOver my excuse was that they're open and I can hear ambient noise through them , it's not like I was wearing IEMs with -30db isolation ;)  I was also taught that it's a bad idea to wear headphones and I don't do it while driving in the...

Quote: I really don't want to hijack this thread at all, so I'm just going to say that no I don't think they are worse then pedophiles and rapists; rather I think the penalties for most crimes in the US are grossly anemic.

I forgot to take a pic but I must have looked quite the sight with my HE-500s on while driving the 40 hours to and from San Antonio and the OC last week. I have a 350 watt inverter that powered my MiniMax amp briantly which was stashed under the drivers seat, I was afraid that the tubes might be...

Quote: I'm changing my name to 00zemeister.  Best of luck Todd, I think identity thieves deserve the death penalty or non-chemical castration which ever is more painful.

PM me your info, so we can work something out.  I've already done it on mine and it's a world of difference and I'd love to help.

Quote: Will do, leaving for a week here in a few so I'll have to do it when I get back.  Thanks!

Hey all,   First off, sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask this.  I just finished building a cmoybb v2.03 rechargeable from JDS labs and the right channel is very very distorted and quite a bit louder than the left.  The left sounds great, crystal clear and beautiful, the right sounds...

Didn't even know about it till I saw the pics in this thread :( plus my current work schedule precludes me from weekend activities. It sure looked like fun though, maybe next time. Where are they announced?

Ha, that sticker floated around my desk for a year and a half before I decided to put it there. I get almost all of my tubes from them including those ones and I've never liked that enclosure so I thought I'd jazz it up a little. If you're ever in San Antonio stop by Rackspace and I'll let you...
