System test songs/cds
Dammit, you people...why couldn't this be CA.com so everybody lists various rap songs like "hoez and cash money" or "hoez and cash money and pimps" or "more hoez and pimps" like they always do? Pfft, you're going to make me think here... Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Carol of the Bells Santana - Europa Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Pt 1 Neil Young - Cortez the Killer Zeppelin - White Summer Black Mountain Side Hendrix - Voodoo Chile (the 14+ minute version) Eva Cassidy Live at Blues Alley on vinyl Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet, or the ending to 'Tunnel of Love' The entire Allison Krauss & Union Station live 2-disc set "Gortoz A Ran J'attends" off the Black Hawk Down soundtrack Micheal Kamen - Training - Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves soundtrack The Used - Sometimes I Just Go For It John Williams - opening track to "Revenge of the Sith"...midbass killer Vangelis - soundtrack to 'Chariots of Fire'...on top of being a good movie, the music is great Gustav Holst - The Planets (in particular, Mars & Jupiter) The Mercedes mixtape Tull's Aqualung is an awesome test disc, but frankly, most CD versions of this I've heard suck - they came out right on LP. Dream Theater - Stream of Consciousness CSN - Suite, Judy Blue Eyes pfft. Dancing Queen > all

Never Heard of Them!! R THEY GOOD?
A series > all of j00 I'm actually quite surprised I'm not banned on ICIX, especially after I basically instigated Iceteebone & Co. in the pr0n fest. I guess Jeremy G. likes me? Full range driver krew, represent!

Exactly my point...

Welcome to the IHoP
Why did all the "general audio sections" of the forum get compressed into one link? Was that intentional?

Is there something I'm missing????
I know several other boards that have something like this in place... 25 posts really isn't a lot, when you think about it

My undying admiration?

Those of you who own the USamps tubes
Not my amp, but the monoblocks that are coming in are going to use those same tubes - Svetlana SV811's. Directly heated triodes, something like 500V on the plates. Thoriated tungsten filaments FTW... *was* my amp. EL84's running SE with a 6922 driver tube and 5U4G rectifier.

would you put 1200wrms to one RL-p 15 D2?
My TC9+ prototype laughed at me with 1.2kW... Although nowhere near that amount of power was actually needed to get serious wangage.

PA - http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstran&1146536301 Preamp - http://www.bottlehead.com/et/adobespc/fore...3/foreplay3.htm So it's a kit. Gives you something to do when you're not embarrassing weenies at the gym. Next step - get your turntable up and running with a Grado or Sumiko cart from the Needle Doctor. With those towers...that would be...:njizzzzm:

Welcome to the IHoP
Werd. Get a nice solid state power amp to do 75WPC or so, and a tube preamp for it. Something like a Bottlehead Foreplay would be perfect - dual 12AU7's and pretty cheap. Tuner could come seperately if you care about listening to broadcast radio.

Welcome to the IHoP
Anyone happen to know off hand what they can get 1/2" baltic birch for locally? I know it's going to vary by a couple bucks, but I want to get an idea...3/4" is $45 here, but I don't need it that thick.

Good, maybe he'll finally stop IM'ing me @ 12PM asking stupid questions... I mean, I want to help the guy, but please...if you're sending me a message past midnight, make it worth my time.

Welcome to the IHoP
I think the damn Mounties did something to my preamp... Oh well, emailed the guy asking for a tracking number, which I should have done last weekend. Hopefully it'll come tomorrow...or he probably sent it to the NC address.

Anyone know a good free photo hosting service? Something where I can easily catalog and put stuff in various folders...not sure if Imageshack had something like that.
