    It was announced on Fox news yesterday. Therefore it should be repeated 20 more times today. Stay tuned in Tony, I know you are watching.
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    ^^still putting in the 65 hour work week. Have 2 more years to go and I have 50 years working full time, then I retire. I think that is long enough.

    As long as you enjoy it, it's cool.
    I enjoy some aspects of working, but not others -- I was happy to retire a bit early, and I hope the economy will permit me to stay that way.

    As a (part time) process development consultant, now I get to have all the fun (attacking and helping to solve real problems) with a minimal amount of the drudgery (hiring/firing, performance management, budgeting, preparing dashboards). And it pays, actually, really well on a per hour basis.

    I like to say that being a consultant (in my business) is like being a grandparent. We get to have all of the fun, but we have very little of the dirty work to do.

    The tubes are sold! LOL
    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment.

    Jesse finally bought an Emotiva "amplifier" with those really cool blue lights!? Well, it's about time!

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    I can neither confirm or deny Jesse's involvement with this thread, but as shocking as him buying an Emotiva product would be, that is not the case here. Such an action would have resulted in a cataclysmic quantum singularity, wiping out the entire universe, as well as their parallel counterparts.


    Nice try though.

    Well put! You just might want to try selling that as a new program to Hulu or even Netflix.
