Joey turns 8 today, he's setting in front of the couch and states "Oh man I forgot to ask for that" I retort ask for what ?? He responds "Headphones for my Ds" I had already found a great deal on a pair of fostex tx-1 14.99 shipped free and 2 pair were setting here waiting to give him and his brother Why not give him an early gift before school..................So I give them the headphones and joey flips, runs to get his DS where I have loaded 20 or so songs, hooks them up and when it is time to head out to the bus hes like Thank You Dad, and proceeds to tell me how much better he can hear his music he said " it sounds more attractive" , These are the moments we remember, Jacob set his aside on the bed, did not even look up when I gave them to him angry birds was more important

We do enjoy and will continue, for me the boys are reasons to exist

Friday here at work. Our phones have been down over 48 hours now. AT&T and our IT guys still scratching their collective heads. It absolutely blows my mind that it's gone on this long. Looking extra forward to the weekend this week.

dam if I had posted at 5am when I thought to I would have been first , That was just too early I woke at 3 am and had to go to the head at 5 oh well Joey turns 8 today, gave him 1 of his gifts b-4 school, a pair of fostex tx-1 headphones he loved that. 1st cup and breakfast down the hatch, what to do now ?????? 2nd cup sounds about right

yea....that is a fun age.....enjoy it joe.....I remember when my youngest daughter was about that age........when I got home from work she would ask me to play Polly Pocket with her.......almost every day it was our thing........now she's 20+.......and I think of those days........it's bitter sweet......i'm getting all mushy now.....love those kids MKP :-)

Tell him I said happy birthday, those are some fun ages. My son who is 8 but will be turning 9 is a riot. Enjoy those moments as long as you can Fun age! Spend all the time you can!

Mornin' gang. Hey, I lost a bunch of weight over the past 8 or 9 months going low carb and gluten free, but I get to eat a lot of stuff that doesn't seem like diet food. If I was restricted to salads and/or tiny portions, or even calorie counting, I would have blown it. Busy weekend coming up with friends, dog training and, if the weather holds, BBQ. Check back later and cheers to all.

I've started a diet. This about sums it up right now.

Here they are at the factory last week. In the photo are the two builders, the quality control person, and the packer. I really appreciate the attention to detail. These are nothing short of miraculous! They blow my La Scalas paired with my subs away. They didn't fill the house with sound quite like these do. American craftsmanship at its finest!

Nice decorators . . . A single center Heresy I would be a perfect center match.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the help given to me in learning how to turn my computer into a juke box. I literally just finished uploading and converting 40,404 songs onto my computer in FLAC and will be using it as my music server along with the external drive through my tube amp,dac, and 2 channel near field listening set up. It took a few weeks, but I think I have it set to where I want it. Thanks Again everyone! Now onto my cassettes to see how they will sound converted.

I need to do something also, watch what I eat and start back exercising I guess, my scale has been lying to me, well I wish it was lying.

Morning guys.... Wow I'm the first to post this morning......I'm working on my 2nd cup and just hanging out a bit.... Got some work at the shop......will head out after I get coffee done. Check in later.... MKP :-)

I weigh in at 175lbs on a good day and 5'11" and have been that way since I was 16 years old and I eat what ever I want.......don't you hate guys like me......my wife does......lol lol

A phone call came this morning at about 0715 am from the trucking company. At 745 we were unloading. By 830 we were listening!!! 2015 Klipschorns serial #1 and 2.

Bob Crites makes a Center; maybe it will fit & be a close match?

okay....i'll get even more specific. are there any klipsch centers.......with 6.5" or 5.25" woofers that anyone can recommend for my system. no, I'm not interested in this either.....http://www.klipsch.com/p-27c-center-speaker/details thank you.

...and nothing else would be better.

Yes, hard to believe...but, I thank you for such a wonderful post. Here's to you, as well.

Have no idea but I can ask Dave, Carl and Youthman and they can get Chad to fix that for you.

Just noticed I broke 4000 posts AGAIN, time for someone to recalculate our post counts again and knock me back another 700 or so

Joe, I hope you always have this relationship with your sons. It is the most valuable gift anyone can give you.

That was in '03. I'm sure with inflation it would be at least $100.00 today

When I go to a movie, I go for entertainment, if there is truth portrayed, then all the better. In the wake of the movies popularity there is much to read regarding its accuracy, in any case, I enjoyed how Mr. Kyle's purpose was so concretely portrayed. God, country, family. His mission was clear, on all front's, and he appeared to live accordingly but not without consequence. I found that refreshing and respectable. “Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

I watched it last night if you have not seen it you need to. There is a lot of cool stuff on it. For example most of the songs you heard when you were young if your around 55 60 anyway had the same band playing on the tracks that were recorded. I learned a lot I need to find a dvd of it. Rick

My son is in webelos (boy scouts) and they are doing an Indian camp ground and need to come up with Indian names for themselves. I jokingly said to one of the den leaders without my son hearing me that my son's name should be broken rubber. He laughed half heartedly and thought I was serious. He of course said I couldn't name him that.

Evening Gang Single Malt tasted pretty good however knowing i have enough supplys for some bench work, i opted for a fresh Cracked Major Dickinsons Blend. Workin on the Boat Dash, Last Resort, Out-of-Beer-MiniBar. Using Milling Machine bits in a drill press on RedOak, seems to really work/cuts well.

Guess I should have stated how I'm listening to Spotify. I'm using my iPhone connected to the AppleTV via Apple Airplay. Then from the AppleTV, into the Onkyo via HDMI. Without a subscription, you can use Spotify like you can with Pandora through Music Stations or you can choose an artist and it will Shuffle the Songs from that Artist. The subscription allows you to pick specific songs to play and at a higher bitrate. My plan is to do what Wakejunkie did in his HT which is to use an older Dell computer that I have that isn't being used and turn it into a Media PC and pick up a small wireless keyboard.

My favorite coffee maker is most anyone who brews it and brings it to me. Doesn't get much better!

this thread has a stalker!!!!

I am going to make this real clear...IMO... 1- Heresy 2- Academy or KLF-C7 3-....nothing...(and use "phantom" mode on your receiver).

I should have been more pacific! don't have room for a heresy. would either of the ebay finds sound okay, or work well? again...I'm looking for a "traditionally" sized center.

I know I always end up plus sized.

I have 3 sons, the youngest is 18. I am here to tell you that they could not be more different. It's like they grew up in different countries they are so different. I always thought that was interesting. Actually it is bizarre. LOL agreed, although my brothers and myself are all also completely different..........................

Good deal Jerry. I can't wait to see the finished product. You'll have a hard time listening to music without these running once you get used to the nice bottom end they provide.

In all fairness, it's probably better than your wife's suggestion that he be named Chief Lookslikethemailman.

i would never pay that much for some curtains. if you want velour wrap the walls in it. then hang a couple acoustic panels. get some cheap shades. and hot and ready pizzas are THE WORST LOL

Best 9.99 I spend each month..thought I would miss MOG but Spotify is much better imo.

Listening to Jeff Buckley on vinyl. Linkin Park on vinyl next. Listened also to Vivaldi : The Four Seasons recomposed by Max Richter. The first thing I listened to was Kings of Leon and Def Leppard: High and Dry. Also watched clips from Avatar, Star Trek, and Top Gun. The twin R-115SW's keep up just fine, but when I had them on with the Khorns it was way too much bass- lol. Listening to just the Khorns for music, so they must be sealed pretty good.

Back from the farm run, looks like i have some Electrical work coming up on the farm. My Bud wants everything from lighting to welder, easy job, might take a couple of weeks to complete though. Life on the Farm is pretty hard, they were all drinkin BMs @10am and shooting off their raised deck.

The link describes who and what criteria were used. I have no dog in the hunt, just offering it up. I have used a Bunn for years. Nothing fancy and not on the list.

Hello everyone.... My first post here, but I see many familiar faces (0: Just opened this beast last night... The Korg Kronos X Since I play professionally, and my Korg Triton has been on the road some 11 years now, it was time for an update ... This one is the 73 note version with piano action keyboard. The photo shows it only moments after being removed from the box... This workstation is recognized as the top model across all brands ! Price was so good, I could not ignore the deal a pro audio/music store in NYC was offering... Hopefully it will be integrated into the keyboard rig by our season opening show in April ;0) .......gw

Nice set up, Welcome to the forum. Ahhh yesss the Chorus line............said it before........say it again......."Chest Pounders" :-) I love my Chorus speakers.....both I's and II's .......power mine with some Bob Carver power. Take care :-)

It is hard to believe it has been a month since Boxx's passing. I miss him being here everyday, but am honored to have known him and to have enjoyed many, many hours pursuing this hobby together. Rest In Peace my friend, I miss you dearly, but my life is richer for knowing you. Here's to you..... Dennie

No way, it's hard to forget a pretty face. Will share the link with others

Thanks to all who have helped so far! Unfortunately, we still have a long way to go. If you know anyone with small children, I would appreciate if you spread the word! Even if you can't help, drop me a note and let me know how you're doing. I'm starting to think you all have forgotten me! Exile is a lonely place
