    Welcome to the IHoP

    My cheapo tubage setup is a Behringer T1953 tube preamp (rack gear). I want to hear what Jim's been talking about, and I enjoy screwing around with alot of different stuff. I think toward the end of this summer I'm going to buy one of the foreplay III (I think, I know its got foreplay in the name, Jim knows wtf I'm talking about) preamp kits to screw around with and see how I like it. As Thylantyr over on "the other forum" put it, it takes a bit of the edge off of a full SS setup. I like the way it sounds currently, it isn't to much of the "tube" sound I don't believe, but I"m realllllly anxious to get my new tubes (Ei Elite golds) in and see how much that changes things going from the factory behringer tubes to what I understand as some of the best 12AX7's there are. (Plus tubes look sweet.... )

    I have a rant about the damn John Deere people who design the pucking cabs on their new tractors. Where in the cab of a tractor would they put the damn speaker? In the pilliars, HELLL NO. They decide its a fine idea to put the speakers in the FRICKING ROOF, its like GOD IS TALKING TO YOU. Sound is not supposed to come from ABOVE YOU DAMMNIT! It is 4 crappy speakers right above you pumuling you with music from above... Damn then engineers. Someone needs to be kicked in the nuts for that. Next time I stop in there I will give them chit. Oh please do, cause their audio sucks. (This one is a JD 8100) Nice truck man I have to go to Waterloo (engine plant), the Quad Cities (Combine), and the construction group in Dubuque in the next few months. I will give them chit, sitting all day in something with out comforts is silly. Especially when you are talking somewhere in the realm of 0.02% of the price of the vehicle. It isn't Horrible, just gets kinda annyoing having sound come down from above, well, more than kinda to me, but then you have to realize, alot of farmers have lost alot of hearing and could care less about high quality audio. It wouldn't take a whole lot to have some speakers comming off of the corner pillars at about ear level, you don't look out that point in the cab anyways, and no the right side, its blocked by the muffler so it won't even matter on that side. But anywho, would be cool to have better radio/sound in there.

    Thats why I'm going to college in EE, and not ag... I've had to much of this farm crap, WAY to much work and no where close to enough money for the work. It dosen't help much that we currently are rasing 3500 hogs. Pigs + standard farm work = Teh Sux

    It's a conspiracy... Hethwood & Terrace View individually probably have larger populations than a lot of towns in the surrounding areas... No idea how big those places are, but I'll bet a 5 dollar bill that they house more people than my town... (hint, 500 people)
