    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Do they test from a blood sample? I fit the symptoms pretty well. Yes. 2 simple tests. If you suspect it you should have it tested. Thyroid storm runs in my family... very fucking dangerous.

    That Sophia Princess rectifier (top 2 pics) sure is sexy!

    with a mullard rectifier I love how this dude built his own wood filler panels and knob!

    You are obsessed! Duh! How long have you known me? But if you saw that big rectifier tube in the WA6 glow, you would shit...

    Masturbating might make it worse.You need stretching type exercises. With a cock as big as mine, masturbating is a stretching exercise.

    Contemplating a new headphone amp. I have decided on the company, now I need to decide on the amp. Woo Audio is a US company that specializes in headphone amps. I have it narrowed down to the WA3 or the WA6 I need a little advice. WA3 WA6 The WA3 goes for $600, the WA6 for $700. I don't need preamp outs and I will not buy their upgraded tubes. I have my research down on the tubes and rectifiers for each amp. The WA3 is a OLT design, or an output transformerless design. This has a tendency to be extremely linear. But it has the drawback of needing really high impedance drivers to provide beneficial damping factor for the transformerless output design. Basically, it is supposed to be one of the nicest amps to pair with the Senn HD600, 650, 700, 800, etc. Plus it is $100 cheaper than the WA6, which means for the same money I can roll more tubes. BUT!!! Low impedance drivers do not offer the damping factor required to make the OTL design work to it's potential. I have a few "bucket list" cans I want, and some do not fall into the high impedance driver category necessary to facilitate the WA3. The WA6 ticks all the boxes for the HD600s, and my "bucket list" cans. Not only that, but my Momentums will fall into the "wrong amp, fucktard" scenario if I grab the WA3. I was thinking about giving my son my current amp, and I really don't want a crowd of headphone amps on my nightstand. I also don't want to wind up with several DACs, and interconnects to further crowd my headphone amp area. Along with my nightstand I now have a rack with DACs, external HDDs, Battery backup, server, Pio Elite DV45A SACD/DVD/CD player, and 2 CD/DVD burners (I am a closet burner and have some really kick ass external burners). So do I buy the WA6 as a future proof deal, even though I may never buy another set of cans? Do I buy the WA3 as it is really THE design I want to go with my current HD600 cans, with the realization that I may be fucking myself in the future?

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddddddeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllll Will that help me sleep? Do they have it at Rite-Aid or Walgreens?I took that shit from 4th to 12th grade. Half a year in i told my doctor and parents i had muscle spasms... No one cared, i eventually got a bad speach impediment and very often "space out" i was at one time taking 90mg, time release, a day... Wtf. Thats 3 of their largest pills. My parents abused me with that shit and my spasms aren't drastic enough to get medical marijuana which passed here a week and a half ago, minnesota, so i have to get cdb dominate strains from people hoping its what strain they say it is and that is the best cure ive found... so far. Anyone have any other suggestions? Blow oil and grab the CBDs. It is simple to do, but yields will be smaller, roughly 10-20%. There is a really strong local homegrown trade here. I find it hard to believe you will have issues with good homegrown up there. Finding a reliable dealer can be tough, but if you are serious about looking, get into it with the guy/gal one step down from the grower. They will know the local strains really well. Most growers will be looking for high yield quick flowering plants. The strain I suggest that should be readily available because of quick growth and strong yields for your situation is MK Ultra. Blowing MK with butane is a fantastic yield, with max benefits for your situation. If you want to know how to blow with butane, I can help.

    Same, he is fueling the want for the 598's. I am gonna grab some for my son before too long. If you wait I'll be glad to review them. They are 50 ohm (IIRC) so they will work on most devices with or without additional amplification.

    Any opinions on the beretta storm 45...believe it is called Px4 , checked one out a while back and it seemed to fit in my hand well, and comfortably... also held a 45 cal desert eagle man that gun is big heavy as fuck, dont think they sell alot at 2,000$ lolMy carry gun is the PX4 compact 40. I love the gun, but for me it is not carry friendly. It took me a while to realize this. Great gun, but it is very top heavy. A full clip helps to balance, but once you start emptying it, it is more difficult to control recoil. At least for me. I am actually looking into a smaller caliber for carry. You see many people concerned about "knockdown power." I don't buy into it. I'd rather be able to control a grouping quickly and precisely and load a body up versus emptying the clip of a larger bullet and hoping several hit. I really do love the Beretta; it's the smoothest thing I've ever shot, but it's just not a great carry option for me. That's why I love my M&P Shield 9mm. It's small, but not fatiguing in the least.

I have never shot one. Carried one off and on while I was in. Great pistol, but a bit pricey. Easy to clean and accurate enough to get the job done. Easily in my top 5 pistols. J Other 4 are?

    My wife lived in Chattanooga for ~ a year when she was in high school. Her family is from there. She went to Hixon High. Apparently her cousin's granddaughter knows one of that fuckhead's sisters.

    Very nice tubes. My Telefunkens (interestingly the ECC83s as well) are '57s. Price is fair, but not fantastic... about what I paid for mine. Mine measured at 98.3 and 98.7, so I assume those are the high gain long plates. Looking at the image I would say they are long plates. They are preamp tubes that replace all variants of ECC83,12AX7,12AU7.

    A tire shop should have a remover set. They should remove them for a small fee. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/oes-24225?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKEAjwiZitBRCy0pb3rIbG9XwSJACmuvvzedo2-N4CkLLszxQZ9zWuRrF5KYwJHzpTSx25o1a8txoCKmHw_wcB If you look you can find it for less. You do need an impact for it to work. Go back with traditional lugs. Locks do nothing but piss off your mechanic. A thief will have no problem removing them.

    wish ford would have put it in the exploderThe soccer moms want MPGs. I'd hate to see the price on that too! The Sport is $50K+, so I imagine the Coyote would push it into Shelby territory.Actually, that might work. It SHOULD be in the Expedition/Navigator. I want Shelby territoryI looked at one last night and there was an extra sticker on it for $7K and it stated, "market adjustment." The car's been sitting on their lot since March.Do we get pictures of the new ride? J All I got so far. Been frying the skins off it since I picked it up. The Pirellis won't last the month. Looks good. Love the color choice.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Well, I think like the Mullard 12AX7 preamp tube better than my Telefunken. The Telefunken got a little confused with fast, hard information, like metal music. The forward midrange/vocals could also get fatiguing. The Mullard is more laid back, with nearly, but not quite as much extension as the Telefunken. The soundstage on the Mullard is far more expansive, but the image is a tad more compressed, with less air and seperation. The Telefunken is much better with more subtle recordings. Norah Jones, Sarah McLaughlin and other female vocals love the Telefunken's forward midrange. Pink Floyd is right at home with the overall presentation of the Telefunken, but their use of a big soundstage definitely favors the Mullard. I was listening to The Wall Pt 2 and the kids voices as they scream on the playground literally made me look over my shoulder with the Mullard. I had to chuckle at such a physical reaction to the soundstage. Overall I think the Mullard will stick with the amp for a while, and as cheap as they are I will buy several more for when they go microphonic. I will likely give the Telefunken some more time to burn in, as the midrange is pulling back with time, but the Mullards are serious pre amp tubes for only ~$15. The bummer is, the Mullard is the worst looking tube I have seen. The heaters are inside the plates, and the plates are closed off. There is nearly zero tube glow when they are running. When I first turned it on I didn't think it was any good because there was no warm glow. Oh well, form after function.

    In-n-Out What the hell is that? I don't have those here. Best fast food burger joint on the planet http://www.in-n-out.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-N-Out_Burger They used to cut the potato and fry it fresh right in front of you. Aside from some of my friends and the GF's family, In-N-Out is the inly thing I miss about Arizona. Hell In-N-Out was one of the perks of going out for a night on the town in Tucson. J If they are open at 2am, I'd hit it then.Some are 24 hrs, some close at 1 m-th and 3 f-sun J Then of course I'd have to be awake then. Point was more at that point in the evening it does the same thing white castle does lol I've never gotten the whole whitecastle thing. They are better than BK or McDs, but their sliders are not all that. They are fucking gross as well. When shitfaced however my standards change and I'll eat anything at 2am. Does that help, lol? LOL, I guess a little. But Whitecastle?

    Sure do. They were in syndication in The Buffalo News when I was growing up, and I loved reading them. I still ahve 5 of the books at my mom's house. J Awesome. I think Billy and the Boingers may have been my favorite.
