Unofficially (ie. I might be wrong) I believe it's your standard vocal auction cattle-sale, and I think it starts at noon.

To keep the main thread from getting too cluttered, just email me for specific auction item information.

- If you're looking for something specific, feel free to ask and I can let you know if it'll be available.
- I can pm/email you specific email about auction items on the list once that's available.
- Auction begins at noon, doors at 10am for pre-viewing/registration.
- It's going to be a traditional called auction.
- There will be some lots, some individual items, it'll all be laid out in the list.

Please pass on the info to whoever you think might be interested. We don't have room for all our inventory so it really does have to go somewhere. Hopefully to some good homes.

Those things always break there. Can't you just epoxy it back together?

I just got a package from the U.S. today! And it contained one of these

And now the power switch for my computer has come apart ... time to open the case up and see if I can just replace the switch or if I need a whole new power supply. Man, could stuff please stop breaking on me?!

Edit: Opened it up and took a look. Seems like I can just replace the switch/wire and attach a new one to the motherboard. Yay!

Not sure. I guess I didn't notice the crack forming because now it's split right down both sides. It's worth a shot though before I shell out $x+shipping for a new pair.

My friend's cracked on him half a dozen times or so before he finally gave up and bought something else. I'm pretty sure he just glued it back together each time.

Well, I've had mine now for maybe 6 years so personally I haven't found durability to be an issue (until now, obviously). Unless anyone has a suggestion for some \<-R4D (that was for you, Rob) studio monitor headphones, I guess I'm on the hunt for some epoxy.

11-09-07, 07:15 AM

Well, he was DJ'ing pretty heavily with his, so it doesn't surprise me that he had more trouble. Unless you need the wacky pivoting ear-pieces for DJing I think the 7506 model is probably a good bet. Bay-Bloor Radio also has a huge wall of headphones all running through a single cd-player.. so you can pop in a cd and then compare various brands/models. It's pretty sweet. Personally I found most of the Sennheisers/Grados/etc pretty uncomfortable, physically... The Sony's were quite comfy though, and also sounded pretty good to my somewhat destroyed eardrums. :)

Sadly, I found the "dj" features immensely useful in my boring suburban life. It let me have one ear listening to the gf/gf's computer and one listening to iTunes/You Tube/VLC ...

Nice. On a related note my jam/rock space will be ready in a week or so. Just have to lay down some insulation...get the kit set back up and tuned and then it will be go time. We have a decent guitar, amp and bass at the house as well as various percussion/harmonica's etc. I am gonna pick up a mike for vocals as well. Who's up for a semi-regular session at my place?

The other band is still in their space. We only have the neighbors downstairs and I have chatted with them. As long as I don't come home drunk at 3 a.m. and start hammering..it's all good.

I have been known to rock out.. Played the shoe and lee's a few times (tambourine). Speaking of gigs, how did they go Wes?

And Ksmooth, thanks for throwing a tonne of gear to sprints on Wed (not that I won any of it though). A timing system was being worked out for Nadir's sprints. so now not only do you have to ensure that you don't clip out while hammering, or watching out for oncoming bladers/cyclists, you have to ensure you don't hit the tripods in the dark.
