Hey Rich, isn't it illegal in Texas to stare at another man's ass and wear black socks at the same time?

Are you talking with, or with out, boots and spurs?

Okay wait a second, I missed this.

Texans don't wear black socks. You must be thinking of the Canadians who wear black socks and sandals on the beaches in Galveston and Padre Island.

Edit: nightflier's a cowboy, why don't you ask him?

Hey NF,
Is it true that only Texans wear spurs inside of their home? Or was that only cowboys who got lost and found himself living in Cali?

Well, I dated a cowgirl in college who suggested wearing spurs to bed.... Well, not really, but she did wear her hat to bed once (no whips, though), LOL.

Anyhow, I got some more hours on these amps now and can say that I am liking them more and more. I did get to drive them to their limits, although not to clipping, and I will say that at their limit they are etched and not as pleasant sounding. The Khites can handle oodles of power and so I wanted to push it: I pulled out some of my old rock recordings (Scorpions, VH, Maiden, Priest, Zepp, Rainbow...). One of my favorite tracks is In Search Of The Peace Of Mind from the Scorpion's first album, and I really liked the way the bass guitar came through - it often gets washed out on other systems. Montrose's unmistakable voice also sounded very clear and open and I may be going out on a limb here, but I'm going to say the amps have a bit of an emphasis in the upper mids.

Needless to say the family wasn't home and after a while the neighbor came by to complain (more about the music selection, I think). He knows about my "hobby" so I invited him in to hear the system. He's not a rocker, but he asked if he could bring over some of his own stuff. Well after another few hours of playing Joy Division, The Smiths, Depressed, I mean Depeche Mode, and other stuff I didn't know too well, I did get a very good sense of what these amps can do. Curtis's voice again was a little too much front & center and while I say it's over-emphasized in the upper mids, maybe this is because I've always gravitated to a more laid back sound. Or maybe I've been listening to PS Audio amps too long... Hmmmm

The neighbor, by the way was shocked at how much better this sounded to his system - it's always nice to hear that, especially when it is, as he put it, so g*d damn f*ing clear (I think he got his English education from Pete Burns rather than Morrissey). He does have an all Sony setup, so I wasn't too surprised. Any suggestions I have made over the years as to how he could improve things had to include Sony-branded solutions - so I didn't say much this time. Well at least this may get him to upgrade from the Sony speakers, which would probably offer up the biggest improvement w/o too much of a cultural shift.

Anyhow, I wanted to post some pics, but I don't have a website to host them. Is there a public (i.e. free) hosting service I can use that anyone can recommend?

well, The Audio review photo gallery would do fine too :d

upload the pics there, and when they're uploaded, click them to view them, and then click them again to show them full size, then right click, and select 'copy picture location' (or the like), and paste the link here with [img] (link) [/img] brackets around them...

another site is Flickr although I haven't uploaded any pictures there

Keep them spinning
