  1. Buying the 3 year warranty, at least for me, ensures that the unit will fail in 3 years and one day

    Nah, good conversation and the chance to ogle her boobings every class was alright. In a town like this, it's very easy to move on

    No pics, me no care Reminds me of the time I met one of the new English teachers they brought in my senior year...she was right out of school, I started hitting on her before I realized she wasn't a student She wasn't as cute as my public speaking TA last year...T&A certainly were appropriate

    w00t...think I found an assembled Bottlehead Seduction kit...wasn't really looking forward to building one. Way smaller parts than the Foreplay used, and building phono stages in general scares me. 5mV of signal? Eeek.

    In a perfect world, I'd have enough room for two La Scalas and enough subbass to back them up...'twould be quite the party setup Tubes are no good for parties though...too damn distracting, lol.

    Apartments have their benefits, but damn, you take for granted the convienence of having external water and power hookups

    $250 more then I have right now... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is it Dave's? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Joshie-poo from SIN. I was going to trade him my 9835 + cash for it, but it was more deck than he wanted. Dave's? Ha! He'll be buried with that deck, along with the MS1000 and the Brahma MKII...unless an F1 Status magically drops off a truck around here... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Think he would take a 8053 and some cash? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't know, he at first said he was looking for something with 3way active capability and a decent EQ, but didn't want to go as high as the 9835. So I don't know, worth a shot to ask him.

    Also...I know Dave...he wouldn't let that combo go for under $1k...even though he got it for less...

    Static just means your antenna isn't big enough The internet is really what's doing in broadcast radio, even on an amateur level...no real point in investing $2000 to set up even a 100-watt station that might get you 40 or 50 miles under ideal conditions when you can get a broadband connection and stream your music worldwide.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Only radio that's worth a crap to listen to anymore is shortwave, and that's all out of the country anyway. Very few domestic stations are worthwhile...unless you find a pirate or some rare Class D low power station that's still in operation.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    If it's a true JDM part with only the 76-90MHz range, they do make downconverters to take the 88-108MHz signals and bring them down to a frequency the radio will take. However, you've still got 6MHz less of coverage, so if you happen to live in an area with some strong local stations, you're going to get some nasty interference (called "intermodulation distortion") that's going to result from the radio trying to cram everything into a narrower spectrum...or I've seen some that just drop 6MHz off the top end, so you've got 88-102MHz.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    So it's a Japanese market radio? The European and Japanese FM allocations are different... Both use 100KHz channel spacing instead of the 200KHz we use here in the States, but the Japanese use 76-90MHz instead of the 88-108MHz used elsewhere. And Europeans use 50 millisecond pre-emphasis on the MPX stereo signal instead of the 75-ms here, though I think it should be reverse compatible on the receiver side. Not sure what the Japanese do with that.

    I take no credit for it either, Nick M. showed it to me...
