    Time for some Korean sam gyup sal (fresh sides)

    Ha ha, just picked up our order of 1/2 hog from the butcher yesterday. This hog came from a friend of a friend of ours that raises our beef. Hormone and AB free! Got the charcoal going as I type. Good eats at the household tonight. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

    Scott 350-D FM Tuner

    So I acquired this tuner along with a 233 integrated this past weekend. The tuner is in perfect working condition with some Telefunkin tubes mixed in. After some cleaning it's in very nice condition. All lights work as well as the tuning indicator. No wood case though. I'm thinking of selling...

    My listening space w/o the Apogees (for now)

    So, I took a 14 hours round trip drive to deliver my Apogees for a complete refurbish at Music Technology in Virginia. I'm really looking forward to them coming back, although I dread the drive and back to come. Anyways, I thought I'd post a picture of what the room looks like without the...

    Um.. Did I leave the bike on the roof of the car?

    Well, the title says it all. Nothing like testing out the integrity of your house with a carbon fiber road bike..... :tears: :thumbsdn: Yes, it's mine and I just did it last night. Replacement cost for the frame will be $6500 before tax. Surprisingly, the components, for the most part...

    Do you ever have one of those days.....

    where your system just doesn't sound right? I don't know if there's something going on with my sinus since I've got a bit of a cold, but I just couldn't get into the music tonight. It just sounded dull and lifeless to me. I ended up just calling it a night and turned the boob tube on instead...
