While it's a bit more costly than a T-shirt, I work with a guy that does embroidary on the side. He has a couple of CNC embroidary machines (we're talking serious equipment here - the size of a washing machine). It would be a piece of cake for him to do a pie slice logo on the back of a jacket. If anyone is interested, I can have him make me a sample and post pics. Since the artwork is already done, it's a quick process.

There is a sign on the counter at a nearby UPS terminal that reads "All electronics MUST be shipped in the original packaging." This must be some kind of UPS policy, as I would not think it would be up to an individual UPS location to make this determination. If they claim the original packaging is insufficient, here's the location with the sign: UPS CUSTOMER CENTER 373 CROSS RD N DARTMOUTH, MA 02747 800-742-5877

Looks like a tie between a clarinet and a trombone, according to this chart. A clarinet?! They don't list the trumpet - wonder how it compares to the french horn? Sound Levels of Music Normal piano practice 60 -70dB Fortissimo Singer, 3' 70dB Chamber music, small auditorium 75 - 85dB Piano Fortissimo 84 - 103dB Violin 82 - 92dB Cello 85 -111dB Oboe 95-112dB Flute 92 -103dB Piccolo 90 -106dB Clarinet 85 - 114dB French horn 90 - 106dB Trombone 85 - 114dB Tympani & bass drum 106dB Walkman on 5/10 94dB Symphonic music peak 120 - 137dB Amplifier rock, 4-6' 120dB Rock music peak 150dB

Yep... There is no substitute.

2) Probably something like the picollo. They're REALLY loud (dB wise).

Who's your daddy?

There's a lot of tough guys out there, but surviving a 73 MPH bird strike to the face is quite an accomplishment. "Fabio got goosed. ``We found the bird,'' Busch Gardens spokeswoman Deborah DeMarco said Wednesday. ``It was a goose. It's dead.'' Fabio is fine. The Italian supermodel, whose face was bloodied and bruised Tuesday morning during a ride on the amusement park's newest attraction, was bashed by a bird as the roller coaster fell at 73 mph. ``At that speed, you'd think a goose would've taken his head off,'' said Virginia Beach Audubon Society President James Rahman."

Wonder if they've tried to patent any of this stuff?

I used to like the rock band Head East back in the 70's. Some good partying music there. Finally found Head East Live on CD about a year ago. Still sounds better on the car stereo - some things never change.

He's been going to town on the Klipsch gear ever since I can remember. Here's just the last month's worth...

That's the same guy that bought a pair of Decorator Heresy's ($400+ w/shipping) I was looking at in VA Beach last year. One had a ripped-up woofer, and they needed refinishing (but no physical cabinet damage). I thought the same thing - how can he possibly make a profit on those? I posted one of his auctions a while back, where someone paid $850 for gloss black (looked like a brush paint job with streaks on the motorboards) Heresy's with caine grills. A week later, they were right back up for sale - but no bad feedback was exchanged. Makes one wonder, it does.

That's exactly what I paid for mine. Plus a tank of gas, and a new windshield for the F150. A little old lady with a rock in her tire really "added value" to my Chorus'.[]

Here's your chance to rescue a pair from the garbage man. []

Bose 901's Several varieties of JBL's Standard Air Force/Navy Exchange offerings. I remember seeing Khorns in the speaker room at the Subic Bay Navy Exchange (only Klipsch they had in stock) and thinking "Man, those things are as big as a freakin' refrigerator!" "Who'd want something like that?" Of course when I had to move every few years, and had a weight limit for all of my worldly possessions, I viewed things a bit differently.

Was just curious if your strategy had yielded these beauties. I'm in the market for some Khorns as well, so I'm willing to try anything that might prove to be beneficial. Interesting observation regarding eBay dropping the low-priced completed items early. I'm still waiting for them to add auction overtime for bids within the last 5 minutes. That would certainly increase their revenue. Last fall I spotted a pair of Decorator Heresy's on eBay from an auction house in VA. With one ripped-up woofer, and ugly (but physically undamaged) cabinets, I figured they would be easy pickings, and could have my kid get them - eliminating the $80 shipping cost. Some guy in FL that seems to make a living selling refinished Heresy's on eBay ended up paying over $400 with shipping. I'd love to find a pair of Khorns in the sub-2K range, but I'm talking pretty ones. I might go a little higher for local mint Khorns - they would still be a bargain compared to the new "III" series Heritage prices. I've seen some cheap ones as well, but not in the condition I'm looking for. The pair that you show here seems to be a nice exception - I really feel for you on these, as that would have been a killer deal. I'd have hired Mayflower to go get 'em for that kind of money! I really doubt I'd walk away from a $20 pair, but the odds of finding something like that are only slightly better than finding a ZL1 crate motor in an abandoned storage auction. Back in 2001, I managed to snag 4 of Sun Microsystems best video boards on eBay for $120 - which I flipped for $3,600. Think I used up most of my good eBay kharma on that one.

I just gotta ask... did you happen to find these with that wanted ad you put up on craigslist? I have to admit that I snickered a little when I saw you were offering 1K for Khorns, and 500 bucks for Belles. Pretty amazing if that guy actually bit on your offer!

This POS ripped off a currently running auction - including the title and pics! These phonies keep getting bolder all the time. http://cgi.ebay.com/Klipsch-Klipschorn-Khorn-corner-speakers-BIG-BASS_W0QQitemZ7587176102

Congrats on the Chorus. I have Chorus' and Corns, and there's sure not much difference in bottom end. When it comes to bang for the buck, I think the Chorus I is the best value on the used market.

For $405, here's a high-quality remote attenuator from diycable.com (attenuator by DACT). Takes up quite a bit of chassis real estate, compared to something like an Alps pot. I have a remote in my bedroom AES AE-3 DJH, which was a $500 option. I normally don't adjust the volume during playback, but it's kind of nice with a changer (quite a difference between some CD's).

And I thought dog eating was an "urban legend"... http://www.aapn.org/stbernard.html

Man, that's BEAUTIFUL! How old is that ad? I'd give my left... if ya know what I mean.

Check this one out: http://www.dynamichometheater.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=VTIAGR404&Category_Code=VTI It's 268.99 delivered (I paid $100 more for mine), tempered glass, and built like a tank (will hold 220 pounds on each shelf). Your choice of black or silver. It comes with 4 shelves, but I only assembled 3 of them on mine.

Sounds like some of you needed... Charles!
