Nice gloss on that `mary. I would think that color would not gloss as well as it did. Great job.

OT: Let`s see some more audio equipment. Let`s see, you`re an analog guy, so Audio Research? Conrad Johnson?

Thanks Ron and WaxAddict!

Speakers drove the amplification choice.

Analog: SOTA Millenia TT / Clearaudio Linear / Clearaudio Titanium
Phono: Parasound JC3
Preamp: Parasound JC2
Amp: Krell KSA-100
Speakers: Apogee Duetta II

Do have a digital front end also - Benchmark DAC1 (highly modified) and various transports.


I`ll take more pics - without shaving gear next time. Maybe.

DANG you are hard core! Just wish I had more time for that stuff. I mean, I have the time, just not the quiet and peaceful house! I`m down to an old Adcom 555 setup and my little B&W`s.

In the words of Michael J. Fox from Family Ties: "I only know one speed - out of control."

I have tried, for many years, to restrain my audiophilia. The Parasound JCs replaced my Krell KRS-2 preamp last year and was so much of an improvement that replacing the aging power amp has been nagging at me. So far, I have successfully resisted.

For me the only solution to be able to resist temptation on audio gear is to step off the technology train for a while. When I make a purchase I force myself to accpet what I have and be happy with it.

If I try to keep up on the latest and greatest I just end up spending big money. I know I`ll get back on the train somewhere down the track but it isn`t wise for me follow it closely on a weekly basis. I`ve found the same to be true of great hand tools, guns, reloading gear and a number of other expensive interests. The difference or problem with audio equipment is that it adds up so quickly

It SOUNDS like you have some really nice equipment.

My best way has been to periodically switch hobbies.

Seems I always return to the favorites though refreshed.

7 (including the OP) of the 40 posts mentioned the car.... What this is really telling us is there is a definite need for Blackfire shaving gear.

Dear Todd, Mike, GearHead, & Friends

I do, too.

I don`t see how I could get a better shave than with Edge with Aloe and Gillette Fusion.

But, thanks to this thread, I`m going to try.

(I don`t have a tough beard. I can use an electric shaver every day, but not a blade. The most I could use a blade would be every other day.)

I dont think these would be good to use on other parts of your body though....

I need to get into whatever field you are in to fund all these hobbies. I can barely afford the detailing addiction but am also a big A/V guy as well. And you made me
