What cable is that for the HE-500s?


Whiplash Audio TWag V2 Eclipse terminated in the balanced Kobicon connector Ray Samuels use for Protector and SR71-B. All my phones are cabled and terminated that way and I then have a number of pigtals for other connections (1/8" trs, 1/8" trrs and 2 x 3-pin xlr).

Wow, your dad has a nice setup.  I guess you inherited his love for all things audio?

Zombie, what furniture is that? It looks great and I need a new rack soon.



Looks to me like the VTI BL404 with silver frames and black shelves.

I love knowing I can play any record of any speed or size on this turntable...


 
Don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure you need a special cartridge/stylus to play 78s
 
good thing for you that that's only regulated to very old records
 
my paltry vinyl collection dates back to the 50s and there isn't a 78 to be found.

Yeah I always thought it was because the high speed wore down the needle faster, and it still kinda is, but the wider grooves have a lot of bouncing around in there creating more noise, so it's worth it to get a 78 stylus apparently. I'm not so sure about cartridges though.

Indeed, it all started with him suggesting some HD595's to me and well, you see where I am now.

It's made by VTI, though I don't know the price nor model number.

Hey, how do you like that Little Pinkie PSU?
 
 
This is my setup these days, obviously I'm a messy guy... Also taken with my webcam because I'm also a classy man :p

I love the Pinkie PSU. It give my X-CANV8P gobs of juice. I see you have a basic, yet nice set-up.
 
You still live in Milwaukee at all? It's been 4 yours since I've actually seen you. We have to meet up sometime and compare our gear. Last time yuo were here all I had was the X-CANV8P and a K701/HD600.
 
Speaking of Sennheiser's, how's your SPC cable holding up?
