Burn-in Device vs Burn-in CD

Francisco, the offer still stands if you would like to send me your cables. I can throw them on the burner for as long as you would like. I've currently got about $10K in cables from various individuals burning right now.

As to KAB, i just bought some gear from Kevin ( the "K" in KAB ) last week. Besides having a very good conversation with him, he cut me a phenomenal deal. I was able to purchase a new cartridge and a replacement stylus with two day air shipping for about $10 less than what the cartridge lists for by itself. Can't beat that kind of a deal with a stick. Now THAT is the kind of place we need around Chicago, right Bob ??? Sean

Kevin is SUPER cool! He's very knowledgeable of audio, a true music lover and a 1200 evangelist. I just ordered the tonearm fluid damper he designed for the 1200. When he said that to make any upgrade worthwhile from a modded 1200 one would have to jump to a VPI w/ flywheel I believe him. He's for the music 100%. Plus some people have let me know what the modded 1200 is capable of. I messed up one tonearm already trying to change the wires for Cardas Litz. A $100 learning experience...the Mobie would have been a better alternative.

Bob, you live in Chicago Metro, too?

OK Sean, let's see how we can get in touch. I would get the Mobie, I just want to try a couple of different cables to hear what it is capable of. Hey, I'm a pretty good cook and have walleye fillets in my freezer! It's not all audio, man...my 'amiga' loves my cooking! I've worked next to some really good chefs and learned quite a few tricks of the trade.

Yeah Sean we could sure use a place the deals like that around here. On an unrelated note: I found out that Alberts' new place (Symphony Sound) is at 1525 East 55th St. #312 Chicago. Hyde Park is a decent area albeit the southern-orientation. The owner Evan left me with a good initial impression, so I figure I'll pay them a surprise visit eventually after they get the place going.
sorry this is so off topic but to ans. your question Francisco I was born in Oak Park & grew up in Riverside, but we moved 60 miles south to Kankakee river area long ago. My workplace (a satellite earth station) is about 4 miles from Seans' electronics shop; we're just a few miles south of Matteson here in the Monee area. This is that small-town place that Lyin' Ryan is trying to trash with his airport nightmare, but he will fail of course.
Anyway if you're located anywhere convenient then you could plan to drop off your cables at either of our business places & we'll fry 'em up for ya.

Hey Bob, sure...I bought a box full of walleye fillets a while ago (they weren't cheap). It's my favorite North American freshwater fish. If you recall from other posts, I am a hydrologist (went to college in upstate NY) plus I served in the Coast Guard twice in the Great Lakes. I developed a culinary taste for the walleyes! I make my own seasoning and marinate them things in extra virgin olive oil for a day or so...Being originally from a coastal town in the Caribbean I learned many ways of cooking fish. I can bring some marinated fillets along with the cables if you guys are up to both types of cooking!

My first job here was with an aquatic weed management company, so I've been to Kankakee and all the way down to Watseka!

Some good news and some bad news. Here's the bad news for Bob:

There IS an airport going up somewhere out here in the south burbs. I just had some drivers come through that told me their companies have gotten work contracts for the next TWELVE years to put it all together. Can't remember all the details, but it had something to do with being located near the new race course. Fron what i understand, it will be primarily used for air freight and cargo, but will accomodate BIG planes. UPS is trying to get something set up, as they want to build a terminal / routing hub close by. This could all be hear-say, but they were all quite confident that it was a "done deal". So much for "peace & quiet" in that area. Roaring races on weekends and planes 24 hours a day.

As to the good news for Francisco, drop me an email and we can work something out. I've still been having some problems with my puter and service provider, so if i don't get back to you ( or anybody else ) in a timely manner, re-send it to me again. I will be changing servers as soon as my contract with them runs out. To make it simple though, you can throw the cables in the mail, i can burn them and get them back to you either via the mail or at the next CAS meeting. Your choice, as i don't know how long you can spare them or want them to burn. Sean
