Here we go...again...

[Mike Lavigne]

I'd have to further the curriculum with "Conditioning" and "Art of the Hustle".

When I first met my wife, you would have thought I killed her best friend when I said this powercord cost $4k. Now... anything under $50k, she don't even bat an eye! Now THAT's "Conditioning"!

i'm going to need Renee to talk to Pam and set her straight before i order the MM7's.

somehow i doubt i can 'sneak' them in.

Hey Ki,

I know where you are coming from. I have all my shipments come to my business address as well.
I don't live to far from my business so the ups & fedex drivers know to bring everything to to my business first.
The problem I run into is... sometimes... is when friends come to visit & bring their wives. I tell the friend or he sees what is new & tells his wife then in turn tells my wife... always a concern so I try to tell the friend first so to avoid a uncomfortable explanation to the wife

We could start a new thread: the wife deception factor!

Until they figure it out of course... then when they see something come in, they fling their arms around you and go "Oh darling! How did you know I wanted a new diamond bracelet??"

My Ex collected fossils and mineral specimens. Worked every time. Brown box comes to the door... I get something too!

Yeah but if you ever had a flood, your home had a better foundation

Hi Carol:

Thanks for that scary thought or should I say the reality check. I can't speak for your brother but you might be WBF's much needed balancing mentor for us Tapeheads having to face daily challenges of How to keep Peace at home (or how to keep the diamond bracelets out of the home) while pursuing much needed "cure" for the common disease of Tapephilia Nervosa... knowing well ...there's no such thing as the cure but only periodic remedies...

I am always straight-forward with my wife regarding how much I pay for my audio toys... i just don't disclose if its dollars or pesos!..and.. I always blame Ki!!!!

Hi Gary,

Nice to see you here.OT, FYI, I talked to Fred T about my deck and that deck with the time code option was mainly used for the film industry. Fred did not feel that the TC headstack was intended for critical playback or audiophile use. In fact he is going to sell that headstack and replace it.

regards,

Roger

I blame Ki as well... The freaking tape decks are extremely hard to hide!!

My wife walks into my room & always says what is this, it's new... sometimes with stuff that's been in the system for years.
God bless her, she has put up with my act for 32 years.

 

[c1ferrari]

Hmm...

Wow... you played the "left out/behind" card. Brilliant!!

I gonna have to remember that one

 

[c1ferrari]

Sounds Like a New Forum...

Leather strap? I should try that with my wife .

Hi John:

Thanks for the link and - do we have another potential newbie tapehead in making from Toronto area?

As for the A812, I have a pretty good guess that the machine is an old CBC recorder that Eduardo (old Filmco and now the toronto-unique-surplus) would sell. It seems to be in good condition both cosmetically and operationally but his asking price is a bit high considering the A812 is considered to be in the bottom of the master recorder world just above the A810... Just my 2 cents.

 

[Ki Choi]

Seriously, congrats

Thanks, Sam.

I remember Eduardo -- but I think you meant Filmco, haha

You really know how to hurt a guy

 

[Ki Choi]

Sorry Sam, I never meant to be too clever... corrected my rant.

Yes and I think he's been advertising this machine, without anyone biting, for quite some time.

I thought I saw an A810 for about $4500 the other day somewhere. These people must be on some good meds...

EDIT: Here it is..... Studer A810 eBay
