Very sharp Chuckie. Even though my garage is now clean and organized, it is still lacking music. Ordered these Definitive Technology AW 6500 speakers for the garage. I'm also putting my old living room Infinity 12" subwoofer and Sony ES receiver out there. Gonna wire it up this weekend with my buddy. I'm going to mount these under the big white shelf above my workbench.

Not an actual product. But I just signed up for this: Doing the 2 day camp for the 4th year in a row.

Sounds like fun. Did you flunk out the first 3 times?

Nah. The only way you flunk out is if you do something so bone headed, the instructors deem you a danger to everyone on the track and will ask you to leave.
The way the system works is if you are starting off fresh, day 1 is level 1. Day 2 is level 2. Really everyone makes it to the next level unless you did something stupid. When you come back again, they start you off at level 3 for day 1 and level 4 for day 2. Level 4 is the highest you can go. Each level has certain skill sets they teach you. When you reach level 4, it's basically refinements of stuff you learn from levels 1 to 3. Level 4 can also be thought of as having the instructors work on specific things that you feel and they feel you need help on. When you attain level 4, every time you go back, you just go in as a level 4 student.
The 2 day camps are nice as they limit class size to 24-26 students which usually equates to a ratio of 2 students to an instructor. The 2 day camp is pretty expensive, but I like the more focused attention. Plus I get access to the various training tools they have, along with seat time on the camera bike, and the use of their bikes. This year is going to be interesting as I'll be riding the just released BMW S1000RR pictured in the banner I posted.

Gonna try this little bad boy out. How long from Finland to Virginia? That looks pretty cool. If you could, please post your thoughts on it after you get a chance to use it.

^ notice any difference with the new tube? Not a drastic change but more of a subtle one. My AKG's need a LOT of breaking in since they are still new (<20 hours) so it should become more revealing once the amp and cans break in. I have some new drive tubes also but want to wait until everything is done jelling.

DoingOK That looks like a bad ass setup !!! Tube gear just looks sooo cool!
My latest purchase is 2 dayton 15' sub for my dual THT build and a QSC - RMX 5050 to take over on the IXL 18's. Also have some room treatments coming from GIK acoustics! I'm excited to see what they will do from the room. After using REW, I got my room darn near flat (+-5 at 40hz and 70hz) today, so I'm not sure a whole lot of improvement can be had but I did have to eq quite a bit to get it that flat and maybe with the treatments I can take off some of the eq.

Hey Doingok that is awesome. Love the AKGs, and yep they want lots of break in. I let my 702s break in for 300 hours before they settled in. Very revealing headphones these upper 700 series headphones.
