Amen, brother. Amen.

I had some pale yellow Yuki hands and wanted to darken them a bit. So I made some espresso and applied the crema with a q-tip and let it dissolve and soak in. It gave a blotchy appearance and tinted darker around the edges, and made the steel of the hands look slightly corroded too.

While we are enjoying ourselves this fine long week-end, let's pause for a moment and remember the reason for the day. Thank you for your service.

How about a tube with a flatter back? You can carefully remove metal from your tapered mating surface until it fits.

Reading from left to right: 1, 7, 2, 1, 2, 5 So the time was 17:21:25GMT, correcting for Daylight Savings and Alaska Standard time zone, that was 9:21AM.

Hear, hear!

Did you know that on the 2-year anniversary we "allow" newly veteran members to fund a GTG in Alaska? Just send me that CC info and I'll procure the booze. Everyone's welcome at the Mountain House!

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Love that site! From one of their entries: AudioSource IEBAS / IEWAS Reviewed Dec 2009 Details: New ultrabudget IEM from cable manufacturer AudioSource Current Price: $9.99 from jr.com Specs: Driver: Dynamic | Imp: N/A | Sens: N/A | Freq: 20-20k Hz | Cable: 3.6’ I-plug J-cord Nozzle Size: 5.5mm | Preferred tips: stock single-flanges Wear Style: Over-the-ear or straight down Accessories (0/5) – N/A Build Quality (1.5/5) – Completely plastic housings with molding artifacts. Cabling is plastic as well. Isolation (1.5/5) – Below average Microphonics (3.5/5) – Low Comfort (2.5/5) – Light housings, very generic fit. J-cord can make them difficult to wear over-the-ear Sound (0.5/10) – The less said about the way these sound, the better. The drivers really cannot cope with anything more than a simple piano progression. They get overwhelmed very easily and end up sounding like a muddy mess. I thought they would clear up with burn-in but there seems to be no change whatsoever at 100 hours. I still can’t stand them. Value (1/10) – AudioSource is a well-known name in cables and audio accessories. From Monster’s example we know that it is possible for such a company to successfully transition into making proper earphones. However, Monster’s R&D budget is obviously much bigger. The IEBAS earbuds just feel generic and cheap. Worse than that, sound quality is really not up to the par set by my other $10 earbuds. Avoid at all costs. Pros: None Cons: Sound

Well said, Ronin. The Admin/Mods group have been discussing this all day. We've reached a consensus and are waiting for a couple of additional key members to chime in. When they do, we'll make a formal statement regarding how RWG views these CC requests.

Doesn't that picture need a NSFW designation? I think that's where iPod Nanos come from...

Too bad they don't make a rope attachment so we can drape them over our heads as headphones. BOOyah!

Niiiiiiiiiiice! "Modern source and vintage amplification." I'm cookin' with big JBLs and AR-90s.

I haven't taken this old-timer for a spin in awhile...

What he said. I cut my musical teeth in the late 70s and early 80s when JBL 4310s and Magnaplanars, Klipsch horns and Dahlquist and Speakerlab ruled the day. I fell in love with the effortless sound of big Klipsch but ruined my hearing with what I could afford, BIG amps and JBLs. The Klipsch x10s are the closest thing I could find to that big open sound of big Klipsch speakers in a big room. But it took maybe 100 hours to get them to come alive. Enjoy those beauties Freddy.

You can see the tube threads. If they look intact, not peeled off the cylinder of the tube, then the threads inside the crown are gone. The tubes are almost always harder metal than are the crowns.

...and my tasty little Klipsch x10s just keep humming along. Soooooooooo nice.

This is the one for me.

I think Gran is already under the table.
