$2 million--Transmission Audio's ULTIMATE

You probably have a place in mind, but here are some decent ones from Monoprice that I've used. They have other styles, too.

I prefer these: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10401&cs_id=1040115&p_id=2944&seq=1&format=2

Awesome value for the price!

So....

where's the "thingy" now?

August 10, 2010

As it appears I'm only talking to myself, that's it.

Everything sounds great. Active is a LOT of work & tweaking, but the rewards are great.

End of Story~

This absolutely hilarious; you MUST read the customer comments~

A great marketing ploy by PartsExpress to draw attention to their site!

Some sneak peeks; the first two are Dianna Krall (1st video
died--camera battery!), and third is the climax of the 1812 Overture-- I
kept them all short for size. Sorry they're so dark; don't know WTH is
up with that:

The
1812 Overture overmodulated BAD; guess I need to turn it down a little
next time...

1. Quit eating out except on occasion.

2. Drive vehicles with 250,000+ miles on them until they fall apart.

3. Do all my own home & vehicle maintenance.

4. Started a second business "The Fixit Dude" to supplement income.

...I may have to start my gigolo gig again next month if things don't improve...

Alas.... the little scrubber thingy showed up on the kitchen table this morning so she evidently found it stuck to her windshield. She has a favorite porcelain cat and I put it on top of the cats head. It looks much like that cartoon character on Buggs bunny, from Pluto or something like that....the guy with the R249 space modulator....

I've not yet noticed if it's gone.

Oh, and Colin.... usually it's me getting bi*** slapped, not her

The space alien is "Marvin the Martian" (from Mars) and it's the PU-42 Space Modulator:

Guess I'm showing my geek side~

I could SERIOUSLY get used to this~

Looks like a soap holder.

At first, no sound. A few minutes of troubleshooting (of course, AFTER everything was put back together--GRRRR!).....

I had a couple of cables going into the wrong slot~ fixed~

Sounding good!

I used the DeOxit spray. It's impossible to wipe out the switches & pots, but I sprayed them, worked the pot/switch for a few minutes, then followed up with the GOLD. I used Q-tips for the connectors, wiped them well, let it sit, then wiped them off & used the GOLD as a follow up/protectant on everything.

One of the Rane's had been hot; looked like this under the caps:

I saw this last Sunday & it is EXCELLENT!

You absolutely MUST pay attention to follow what goes on. I suggest laying off the soda & using the restroom before the movie...you don't want to miss anything by having to make an untimely run to the facilities...

I REALLY beat them up with some Donald Fagen today (The Nightfly & Two Against Nature); no fuses or circuit breakers blown (astoundingly!) & they sound terrific~

Now to just get the other speaker done & get proficient with the Room EQ Wizard...

OMG~ This is freakin' HYSTERICAL!!

Consider monoprice.com for a very inexpensive alternative.

It would be tough to narrow down ONE best, but I have DVD-As of Blue Man Group & Steely Dan *Gaucho" that are excellent, as well as SACDs of the Yellowjackets "Time Out" and Monty Alexander's "My America" that are very good as well. I'd end up having to list at least a dozen to be fair~

Got the stainless panels in the mail today; THANKS AGAIN, MIKE!! =D> =D>

BEAUTIFUL~

The right one sustained a small scratch during shipping; nothing a little steel wool won't take out~

Now to get everything together! :-"

Update?
