Hi. Jeff's right. I'm a criminal defense lawyer in DC. I went to George Washington, a top 20 law school. I've worked for a high-end boutique firm, a really big firm, and now have my own practice. The only place that cared about my school's ranking and my grades was the big firm. (In fact, my...

RM Williams kangaroo leather craftsman. Most comfy footwear ever.

Pelikan. Full stop.

1200 ft2 condo in DC. Velodyne FSR-18 sub. Concrete walls and floor. Reasonable levels (under 100db). No compliants.

On the topic of Zep, and covers that are as good as the original, http://www.emusic.com has a promo offer for 50 free AND LEGAL downloads of mp3s. There's an album for free (and legal) called Great Zepelin. It's Great White doing a live show covering Zep. It's a must download. -Erik

It wasn't an ode to CSI. It was an ode to the film Manhunter. -Erik

I have JM Lab Micro Utopias (paired with an 18" Velodyne servo sub). The Utopias are incredible: detail, soundstage, transparency galore. Perfection. -Erik

So sorry for your loss. I had to put my Westie down on his 15th birthday (lung problems). That was 6 years ago, and I still miss him. Hang in there. -Erik

Very nice review, from one JM Lab owner (Micro Utopias) to another. JM Lab speakers are among the best, but they don't get the recognition they deserve. -Erik

Get the Etymotic Ety*Com. By far the best headset there is.

Was in HD the whole time in Washington, DC.

Where did I put the 18" Velodyne? I crammed my dresser and my bed close together, and made room in a corner. Oh, and I forgot to mention -- the wall began to crack from the bass over the course of the year :)

OK, war story: In my college dorm, with my 18" Velodyne. Apollo 13 lift-off sequence. Loud. A kid from 4 floors up comes down and was complaining that the vibration was causing his furniture to "walk" across his room. I still smile at that image. -Erik

Velodyne FSR-18. With my Anthem AVM-20 and it's parametric subwoofer EQ, I've basically had a DD-18 for the past year and a half already. See my big Velo reproduce Matrix Revolution's huge bass scenes here: (video from my digital camera).

My heart aches, and my eyes are sore from the crying. When does the hurt go away? I thought she was the one, and she I. But it wasn't to be: there was no compromise in the relationship, and it took six months for me to realize that it wasn't going to work because she wouldn't give. I ask myself...

James: Done, for the 2900. I'll send you an e-mail. -Erik

If you want to split it up, I've got dibs on the 2900! -Erik

I second that. I saw Jerry Friday night in Baltimore, and had a great time. -Erik

Very nice pictures, but under what conditions did you feel your HGS-18 was bloated? Sounds more like its set-up needed tweaking, rather than replacing it with a whole new sub. Regardless, congrats. -Erik

I've uploaded three short videos of my sub, a Velodyne FSR-18, during the Machine God and two water explosion scenes. If you'd like to see what a world-class sub looks like reproducing those bass, at 13 db below reference level (I live in a condo, after all), click here to go to the Imagestation...

Yeah, what a soundtrack. Can you do a chart of when the drilling machine falls through the ceiling to the floor of Zion and is standing up? There are some deep pulses there that I think (by seat of my pants) may rival the machine god's voice for depth. -Erik

Wowwowwowwowwow. Talk about deep bass. (I can't wait to see the graphs of some scenes.) The bass wasn't overcooked; it was just oh so low. Obviously the machine god went very low and loud, but giving that scene a run for its money is when the big drilling machines fell through the ceiling and...

For me it was monetary. Good grades = good job. Good job = money. Luckily I found a job I really love that pays well, so I can buy kick-ass stereo gear and travel to exotic places. Without working hard in school, I'd be doing something else, most likely that doesn't pay as well, and that I don't...

Velodyne HGS-18. Love it.

Virgin Gorda. The most bee-u-ti-ful Caribbean island there is. (And I've been to all but a handful) -Erik

My 563A sub test tone does not work, and when I increase the sub level on the menu, the sub level does not change. All speakers are set to large, and the sub is set to on in the 563's menu. The 6-ch outputs are fed into my AVM20. The sub itself gets LFE signals, I think, because when I play...

*Poof* they're gone. -Erik

For local pick-up only. I live in the Wahsington, D.C. area, and will not ship these items. I'm giving away -- but you've gotta come pick them up -- one pair of 24" tall English-made Target metal speaker stands. Two pillars per stand, filled with sand, and spiked on the bottom plate. If...

Just last week I bought a pair of JM Lab Micro Utopias. Paired with my Velodyne 18" and my Anthem AVM 20 v.2.1, it's an incredible combo. Nothing I've ever heard comes close to sounding as good as they do, and I've heard a lot of very well-renowned speakers. JM Labs aren't the easiest speakers...

Saw this last night. But for a couple funny moments, the movie was not good. I swear as much (or more than) the next guy, but the movie reminded me of the South Park episode where they said "shit" just for the sake of saying "shit." The language in Bad Santa became just too much, and regardless...
