    for Fini

    After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife came for counseling. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married. On and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured. Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, he embraced and kissed her long and passionately as her husband watched - with a raised eyebrow. The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze. The therapist turned to the husband and said, "This is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week. Can you do this?" "Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I fish."
  2. JHOAK, Your vinyl and CD shelving has a very different fit and finish that what I normally have seen. Are they IKEA models? They look good. System does too!
  3. Thanks Chris. It did appear time was shortened considerably. Looks like we only have 31 days. Wrinkles
  4. Chris, Thanks for the bump on this on 2 Channel. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/147939.aspx So, the question still stands as far as what is the best missing link or latest inexpensive equipment should be. Thanks
  5. What is the latest on frequency measurement tools? Primarily, I want to measure the room response and also get the right EV dx38 settings for the Faital HF20At drivers I put on the K402s. Presently, I have: Laptop loaded with Windows XP Pro and REW, Behringer ECM8000, microphone stand, various cables What is missing is what goes between the laptop and microphone. Is the TASCM US 122 Mk II the best approach for this? Reading reviews about this model sounds like alot of unhappy customers out there. But they may be using it for more than I would require or for a different purpose altogether. Are there other external interfaces with phantom power that work better. I was heading down this path a couple of years ago, but got sidetracked. Now, I have need, so my interest has again risen. Opinions are worthy here as I am a beginner in this area and depend mostly on what others have experienced. Thanks
  6. "On Memorial Day the flag is raised briskly to the top of the staff and then solemnly lowered to the half-staff position, where it remains only until noon. It is then raised to full-staff for the remainder of the day. The half-staff position remembers the more than one million men and women who gave their lives in service of their country. At noon their memory is raised by the living, who resolve not to let their sacrifice be in vain, but to rise up in their stead and continue the fight for liberty and justice for all." Quoted from Wikipedia
  7. Does not matter what day it is. If you like your freedoms, then thank a Vet or any person on Active Duty. And remember those that gave their lives for you. USN 74-80
  8. "I'm thinking if this is common to the design even when new it probably isn't of a level to cause driver damage. miketn" That is what I'm thinking now. "This occurs with my D75As every time I shut down. Chris" I just wanted to be sure I was not hurting anything. Thanks Mike and Chris
  9. Yes, I have two of them. Powered down seperately, the one on the K402s give a pip. The one for the bass gives a thump.
  10. When you power them down you get a loudish "pop" through your speakers. Maybe capacitive discharge? Anyway, anyone ever know if that pop ever damaged any drivers. The alternative is to get different amps. These sound real good so I am not too interested in that yet. Thanks
  11. I am not an Opera fan, but there is a label I have run across that apparently is something to be aware of. If you have any "SORIA Series" albums, they actually may have some value. Some actually alot. So do not get rid of them until you know of their value. The album presentation boxes (really top dollar quality in most) and often included artwork helps to bring the values up.
  12. Thanks Chris for the detailed reply. And I thought it would be a simple explanation.
  13. A great guy. Way too young. I also own his TADAC. Cause of death? Private Message me, if you know please.
  14. I have heard the term "loading the room" or some variation ot that, but never really heard a definition. It is one of those sayings that I can kinda visualize a meaining, but when I have asked a few people, they cannot explain it very well. Thanks, Wrinkles
  15. I haven't eaten at a McDonalds in years. The food is fine, just always too busy. When I get that craving I head out to BurgerKing. As a recommendation, get a BurgerKing Texas Double Whopper. Comes with Bacon and all the fixin's. Onion rings instead of fries. Probably, very nutritious, heart healthy, etc. But dang. Its good.
  16. LSAF starts at 10:00 AM. A full day. See ya there.
  17. The Allison Model Ones were really good in the late 70s, you better go back and get the Model Twos. They are probably also good.
  18. Sorry, I do not. I live an hour SW and do not travel there to eat out. Have to have the Dallas regulars answer that one. Mike
  19. http://lonestaraudiofest.com/ Free See you there.
  20. I'm goin' to the LSAF. Looks like the largest yet.
  21. I use this 2 Terrabyte external for my music backups. You can catch these on sale for $115.oo from Amazon occasionally. http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Elements-Desktop-External/dp/B002QEBMCI/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1334495449&sr=1-3
  22. Dave, You are so right! I got two about 2 months ago. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/128053.aspx
  23. waaz_up. I lived on the west coast in a town called Crystal River from 1980 to 1982. Located about an hour north of Tampa. Fairly protected by the shape of the western coast as most hurricanes running up the coast would be too far out to wreck much havoc. Of course the big one that went across the state (Hurricane Andrew was it?) affected alot of the state including Crystal River. Orlando is about 1.5 hours away, Ocala about an hour. etc. Local Hospital in Crystal River also. Critters: Gnats (we called then sand gnats, flying teeth, no see-ums, and other names I will not print.), man when they bit you... We would rub bay oil on our arms and watch then land as they are hard to see otherwise. Fire ants were coming into the area, but were not seen that often when I was there. I would expect them to more prevalent now. Mosquitos during the warmest time would race you to your car when you went out and then again when you came home. I hate mosquitos. Coastal town - what can you expect. Benefits? Seafood, fresh water and salt water fishing, skin and scuba diving, Manatee watching, most water sports in general. If looking at a coatal town, be sure you ask about salt water intrusion into the areas fresh water. I guess this would apply if you had a well. I had a well and although my water stayed fresh, there was always talk of salt water intrusion occurring around the area. Though in my short 2 year stint, I never met anyone with this problem. I left Crystal River to hit the road as a contractor to make more money. Not anything to do with Crystal River. It was a nice place. Florida State Income tax - none Florida Gun laws - good Sorry, I cannot remember anything about property taxes
  24. I'm Good. The tornadoes started launching about 8 miles north of me. Or at least that is when the sightings began to be reported. News said that there were at least 4-5 on the ground at the same time.
