FS - Modwright 36.5 DM - one month old - NEW, UNREAL DEAL (9k new)

miklorsmith · « **on:** 24 Oct 2008, 09:03 pm »

I overextended myself a bit on the purchase of this beauty and now get to suck it up - somebody's going to get a ridiculous deal. It's indistinguishable from new.

It's come up repeatedly but bears mentioning - this new casework Dan is doing is absolutely second to none, truly special stuff.

I'm also a little bit more on the squishy tubey sound of things where this is a clean, clear glass of water. Oh boy is it, I've never heard such stage depth.

I'll split shipping at this price and can do paypal but at 3% it makes more sense to wait for a check or MO to clear.

I have the stock rectifiers, some Tung Sol rectifiers, the stock signal tubes, some cleartops, and two sets of matched Parts Connexion DR tubes. I'll throw them all in with this price except the DRs.

I'll take photos this w/e to add but you all know what it looks like - bootiful.

A salesman knocks at the door. An 8-year-old boy dressed in womens undergarments opens it, cigar in one hand and a beer in the other. The salesman asks "Are your parents home?" The boy replies "what do YOU think?"

This is the kind of value-added service I provide.

DM= Dual mono. In the two-box DM version the power supply is external and a dual mono design with two rectifiers, one per side.

This is the pre that i own also; it is a steal at $6500. Someone will get a great deal.

I love the fact that the volume control goes to 11. It reminds me of the Spinal Tap movie.

Cheers,
Tom

I think it reminds Dan of that as well. And me. When I opened the box I was like WOW! I even sent Dan an e-mail about it.

Best volume control ever.

OKOKOK, you're a tough crowd . . .

Guy walks into a bar, sits down next to another fellow, who has a box next to him.
Guy asks "What's in the box chum?"
Chum lifts the box and there sitting on the bar is a foot-tall guy playing the piano.
"WOW, where did you get something like that?"
Chum says "Cross the street, knock on the door. A funny little guy will ask your wishes, tell him what you want".
Guy immediately trots over, knocks on the door, and a strange, short man answers "what are your wishes?"
"I want a million bucks!!!" BANG
Suddenly the air is choked with more ducks than Guy can count.
Frustrated and covered with bird crap Guy returns to the bar and his abandoned stool next to Chum.
Chum asks "So, what happened?"
Guy recounts the story then asks "How'd you get what you wanted?"
Chum - "What, did you think I wanted a 12" pianist?"

These are the jokes kid.

How come both sets of XLRs are labeled as inputs?

miklorsmith · « **Reply #10 on:** 27 Oct 2008, 05:26 pm »

Good eye, the one next to the other outputs is simply mislabeled. It works as output, I was using it as such. The other one IS an input as I used that one too.

Dude walks into the bar, sits down, and starts chatting up the Bartender.
The conversation turns to bets, then stupid bets.
Dude says "Bet you $100 I can bite my right eye."
Bartender laughs, shakes hands, and Dude pulls out his glass eye and bites it.
A while later Dude says "bet double or nothing I can bite my left eye."
Bartender can see Dude isn't blind and bets him.
Dude takes out his dentures and bites his left eye.
Dude gets up and walks to the other end of the bar, sits down next to another Man.
Half hour later he comes back and says "Brother have I got the stupidest bet of all time for you."
Dude - "I'll bet you $500 you can slide a glass down this bar and I can piss in it and not spill a drop."
Bartender - "WOW, that's dumb all right - you're on. How fast should I slide it?"
Dude - "Slide it as fast as you want."
Bartender wings the glass and Dude pisses all over the bar, none goes in the glass.
Bartender jumps up and down, hooting and hollering, then pauses.
"What got into you stranger, there was no way you were going to do that."
Dude - "See that other Man I was talking to just now?"
"Yeah"
"I just bet him $1,000 I could piss all over your bar and make you happy."

oops, that's a $100 deduct isn't it?

JK!

For a sticker? Sure, no problem. I really don't want to give the Agon corporate machine a dime.
