  1. my bro has this listed at $500, I could probably get it cheaper, for a friend (good luck with that lol). I mean, that's if your interested in something of real quality. Name: Goldring 1042 Description: The 1042 is a cartridge for the audiophile who demands the ultimate sonic performance from their system, together with the convenience of a user replacable stylus. The extended groove contact of its Gyger-S diamond gives the 1042 unsurpassed resolution of the fine groove modulations, producing an exceptionally detailed, smooth and musical sound. Specification: Frequency Response 20Hz-20kHz±3dB Sensitivity 6.5mV±1.5dB, 1kHz @ 5 cm/sec Static Compliance 24mm/N lat., 16mm/N vert Stylus Radius: Gyger S Stylus Type Replaceable Load Resistance 47,000 Ohm Load Capacitance 150-200pF Cartridge Weight 6.3g Playing Weight 1.5-2.0g (1.7g nom. This one is about a grand. Name: Benz Micro Glider S Description: The Benz Glider is probably the best known Benz cartridge and gives you a lot of music for the money! The Glider SL, SM, SH all incorporate the Benz Dynascan system with a Gyger S stylus coupled to improved generators using new coil windings and refined pole pieces/damper designs. Experimenting with the length of the solid Boron cantilever revealed how the elasticity of this very stiff material affected compliance and trackability. Development of a grooved rear pole piece for countersinking the o-ring damper, first introduced on the Benz Ruby square plate cartridges, was then adapted to the cross-coil designs, given their lower contact area and damping characteristics. The lower mass coils and matched cantilevers of the new S-Class retain their real world output levels and with their improved styli, offer heightened performance. These cartridges yield one of the best performance/value ratios in cartridge market, regardless of output level. Special Price: $949.99 Specification: Low output: 0.4mV Medium Output: 0.8mV High Output: 2.5mV Weight: 6.8g Tracking force: 1.6-1.9g This one would run you $100 Item #: GOLDELEKTRA Name: Goldring Elektra MM phono cartridge Description: We are clearing out the remaing few Goldring Elektra cartridges we have in stock. For the money, these reliable performers sound fantastic! The Elektra is a low-cost moving magnet phono cartridge which incorporates several audiophile features. Tracking ability is excellent and this cartridge uses an Elliptical stylus tip. The low-mass cantilever assembly has a surprisingly wide ranging compatibility with the best tonearms and turntables available. Arcadia Audio's cartridges He has other shit to that's not listed on the webpage, some lower priced stuff and some really expensive shit.
  2. yarrr! lol I kill me sometimes.
  3. I don't know, i try to take those big black round things to play in my car stereo. Do you think i should get a new stylus for my pioneer? And seriously how do you get those things through that tiny little slot? Seriously though, if you're playing your records through a 30 dollar cartridge, you should probably upgrade. You can hear huge a difference between a 30 dollar cartridge and a 100 dollar cartridge, and even better, like all things, if you spend even more. There's some people that claim you should spend just as much on your cartridge as you do on the turntable. So $3000 turntable, $3000 cartridge. I think that's a bit extreme. There's even lots of people who keep seperate arms set up that they can interchange depending on what music you're listening to. A little extreme for me but I can definitely see why people do it. I can probably get you a good deal on a cartridge if you are interested. and one more thing, I just got the GD box set from Star records in Oshawa. If anybody ever gets a chance to check that record store out, you should. It's a good one. They have a 180g pressing of Bitch's Brew that I want to get so bad. Maybe next week. and just one more little thing, if my name was singled out in a sarcastic way for any sort of reason like it feels like it was....suck it baby I don't give a fuck. If it wasn't meant as sarcasm, just don't read the rest of this paragraph, cuz I'm getting my rant on. I've got my shit together. I've got the fucking Tiger blood in me, a fucking warlock and if my MIND desires it, I can wipe you little trolls completeley off of this planet. Kick your little heads to another dimension where the smell of dogshit constantly fills your nose and the garbage and maggots fester everywhere around you, and I don't even do cocaine. No time for that bullshit antisocial white crap that is probably the biggest waste of money and energy on this planet. And if you don't like me saying that cuz I might offend a user, I really don't give a fat fuck you anti-social fucking 'tard. If I appear insane, it's probably just because I am all on my own, i don't need to go on a "journey of epic proportions", to figure that one out. I've known since I was 15 years old, when i was shoplifting ACDC cds from wal-mart. Collecting records is something relatively new to me (again), been at it for a around a year and I got probably 100 records or so, that I really like. Ain't no shit in there, I don't buy a box of records to get 95 records I won't listen to for the 5 I want. I just get the 5 I want. The combination of my brother owning a hi-fi business and me finally getting into a point in life, settling down to one place to live has allowed me the time and space to do it, without having to worry about moving my shit every few months or year or two from one god-forsaken hole to the next. Now I just get hotel rooms or couch surf when I'm in whatever shit hole I go to and leave all my good shit home. It has nothing to do with jumping on any bandwagon just to be cool. But I will tell you this, IT IS COOL AS FUCK and if I like you, which I probably don't (mainly cuz I'm kinda pissed and haven't seen my family in almost three weeks so I'm grumpy as fuck), I may even invite some of you fuckers over some time to listen to it with me but I doubt that will ever happen cause a journey into the peace and quiet of cottage country is something most of you only do on summer weekends, instead you stay in whatever shit hole you live in, where the sound of cars passing never goes a way. Silence would be too much for most of you to handle. You'd probably go insane. And if anybody has any sort of problem with me, maybe it should be dealt with in private in the future cuz if I feel scorned or threatened, in public, I will toss my normally very easy going nature to the side and fucking destroy you. I don't care who you are or who you think you are. And if happens again on this board, I probably just won't come back. You think I have time to type this shit out? aahhhh, no. I should be on the road right now getting back to the peace and sanity that is my home, with my family. I love you all like you are my very own blood brothers and sisters. Now, go fuck yo-selves. (that felt good, a little technique my good friend, so good a friend in fact that he can over anytime to listen to records without even giving me prior notice, vanagon scott)
  4. awesome setlist, thanks for pointing out the dl esau. here's the archive link: http://www.archive.org/details/furthur2011-03-08.AKG481
  5. Esau, still trying to gauge the intrest but I'm less than an hour from the venue. I know what I'm doing after the show, gonna light a big fire in the back yard and drink the face right off of my head. You and friends are more than welcome. Lots of crash space and or tents.
  6. ^^^^^^ I know I'm probably wrong about Jagger, I'm sure he has had plenty of "epics." It just didn't fry his head like Sheen seems to have done.
  7. Just because he mentioned Jagger and Richards, thought this was appropriate. I think Jagger's insobriety from the past is mostly mythical and a put on (for the most part). Dudes a fitness fanatic and always has been, I doubt he has had very much time in his life for excessive partying (mid sixties aside, we were all in our 20's once). I don't think Sheen has lived long enough to hold a candle to Richards though. Maybe not. It's Only Rock and Roll (But I Like It) If I could stick my pen in my heart I would spill it all over the stage Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya Would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he strange? If I could win ya, if I could sing ya A love song so divine Would it be enough for your cheating heart If I broke down and cried? If I cried? I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it I said can't you see that this old boy has been lonely? If I could stick a knife in my heart Suicide right on stage Would it be enough for your teenage lust Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain? If I could dig down deep in my heart Feelings would flood on the page Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya Would ya think the boy's insane? He's insane I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it I said I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely? And do ya think that you're the only girl around? I bet you think that you're the only woman in town I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do Oh, well, I like it, I like it. I like it...
  8. Goodmorning America He says he's suing CBS for $300 million. Like really? Go fuck yourself charlie. He had me up until I heard that. Like there's not enough problems in the world, this arrogant prick thinks he's owed $300 million dollars because he went on an "epic" party. He's gonna be lucky if he doesn't find himself swimming with the fishes. The amount of ordinary hard working people he's put out of work just because he's a total fuck up is probably sickening.
  9. Some info on camping. It'll be $14 / person at the campground. Apparently there's an open field area by the river they're gonna use for the rowdy's. There's also quieter family tenting in the main part of the campground. They're gonna be putting in a big fire pit. On the other hand, I could probably fit a bunch o' tents @ my place for like $13.50 :dance: or for free if I like you.
  10. Hopefully make it up on Saturday. DBT is Friday night.
  11. atta boy Dalton, get us all nice and drunk before the election.
  12. unless the guess is actual inside info, then yes, you have to guess the guess. Otherwise, spit it out phishtaper.
  13. youporn.com, it's about all you should need for quality programing.
  14. Happy Birthday L.M. Hope you have a great day.
  15. I don't think my comment was meant to be taken all that seriously. I don't know, I'm pretty sure I was under the influence at the time. Anyway, they're a fun band to watch and listen to, for me. I'm not trying to twist any arms. Stop being so cranky :drinks: :drinks:
  16. They just look like they're having so much fun all the time. Fun is infectious. Unless your just a cranky old fuddleywop then sure, hate on them if you like but all I have to say to that is "stop being such a cranky ass." To use the word visionaries would be kinda lame, but they do seem to have a pretty clear vision, in a fun, free sorta way. There's just so much going on when they're making music, it's hard to keep up until you just let it go.
  17. It's funny, I was eating lunch with a co-worker today and out of the blue he says "You know that band that won the grammy, who are they? Arcade Fire, I never even heard of them." I love the Arcade Fire also, what they do on stage is incredible. Listening to Neon Bible is what sold it to me.
